Melissa Fumero
Were you a Blockbuster customer back in
the day? Any memories of a local store?
Oh yeah, we had one. I grew up in a pretty
small town in New Jersey and we had a
Blockbuster in our town, in our shopping center
by the Shop Rite. And I remember where it was.
It looked exactly like our set on the show does
(laughs) and that was a part of growing up,
those weekends where you’d go on Friday night.
Everyone would go and pick out a movie for the
weekend and my brother and I would fight over
which movies we wanted to get.
“The Great British Baking Show:
Holidays”
Sugar, butter and chocolate will be decking
the halls as competitors from past seasons
return to give their all in the hopes of
impressing the judging panel of Paul
Hollywood and Prue Leith with their sweet
Yuletide treats as this acclaimed culinary
series from across the pond returns for its
fifth season. (ORIGINAL)
OF ‘BLOCKBUSTER’ ON NETFLIX
And I remember going as a teenager by myself
a few times and I feel like my teen years was
when it started to kind of phase out and I
remember it might have closed when I was
in college. And at the time, being like, “Oh
yeah, well that makes sense. Now we get our
DVDs in the mail.” Like I was an early Netflix
customer where I used to get the DVDs in the
mail (laughs) and I go, “Oh, that’s easier.” But
then as more time goes on, you go, “Oh man,
I kind of miss going to the video store, that
experience.”
Will you get an opportunity to direct an
episode of “Blockbuster” at some point?
Well, I’ve directed a few other shows, and what
I learned on “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” was I love
directing. I’m actually in prep right now to direct
another episode on “Grand Crew” but I hate
acting and directing at the same time (laughs).
I’m not built for it. I don’t like it. It’s not fun and
it’s very stressful and I feel like I’m doing both
jobs not to the best of my ability. So I don’t know
if I would pursue it on “Blockbuster.” I think
for now I’m kind of interested in keeping them
separate.
