“I like to do is go on iTunes and buy movies”: Aubrey Plaza Proves She’s a Boomer Trapped in a Millennial’s Body With One Blunt Confession on Streaming Services
- Aubrey Plaza, despite being a millennial, finds HBO Max and Hulu frustratingly boomer-like.
- She struggles with passwords, often gives up on tech issues, and prefers buying movies on iTunes.
- Moreover, due to the same issue, she once bought the entire 'Sopranos' series, not knowing it was free.
Imagine being a tech-savvy millennial but struggling to navigate streaming services like they’re ancient relics. That’s Aubrey Plaza. The actress, known for her sharp humor and unforgettable roles, has revealed a surprising secret: she’s baffled by modern streaming platforms. Despite being a millennial herself, the actress’ tech troubles make her seem more like a boomer trapped in a younger body.
She has even admitted that she still struggles with basic things like passwords, and prefers to buy movies on iTunes rather than figure out streaming services. If you’ve ever felt lost in the digital age, you’re not alone—Plaza’s tech woes might just make you feel a little better about your own streaming mishaps.
Aubrey Plaza’s Streaming Struggles Give Off Boomer Vibes
Aubrey Plaza‘s battle with streaming services is a saga of modern woes. Despite earning an Emmy nomination for her role as Harper in The White Lotus, it’s amusing to note that she didn’t watch a single episode of the show.
Plaza, who played a tech-savvy spy in Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, opened up about her battles with streaming services like HBO Max and Hulu. Despite being famous, she admitted to The Wall Street Journal that she got so fed up with her HBO Max account that she eventually just gave up on it. The Hollywood star said:
To be honest, I had trouble opening my HBO Max account when I was trying to watch it originally. I couldn’t figure out the password and I usually just give up when I can’t figure out the passwords. I just can’t handle things like that.
But that’s not the whole story. In a past interview with Vanity Fair, the 40-year-old recounted:
I was trying to watch Top Chef season 20. Couldn’t figure out how to fucking get Hulu + Live. I give up! I can’t. I just can’t. I like to do is go on iTunes and buy movies that are old.
So, rather than grappling with streaming services, she just buys movies and shows on iTunes. She even purchased the entire Sopranos series, only to be reminded by her husband that it was available for free on HBO Max. It’s a charmingly old-school move, showing that even tech-savvy stars have their own digital mishaps.
Aubrey Plaza is on a Quest to Bring Back DVDs
Aubrey Plaza made it clear she loves DVDs, saying, “I’d love a DVD, but they don’t send DVD sets anymore.” For Plaza, DVDs aren’t just about convenience—they’re a comforting, tangible link to the content she adores.
As DVDs become less common and streaming takes over, how we watch stuff has changed a lot. For the Parks and Recreation star, who finds streaming passwords and menus a bit confusing, sees DVDs as her simple, no-fuss solution.
Also, Plaza might want to get that Max password sorted before 2025, or she might miss out on the next season of The White Lotus. Because if she’s not careful, she’ll be stuck in the land of buffering while everyone else is binge-watching!
