The Retro DVD/Movie Store Shopping Experience

Thomas Star joins Devin and Andy to discuss Night Owl Video, a shop in Williamsburg’s Analog Alley that sells new and used DVDs, VHS tapes, and related merchandise. Are digital video discs considered analog now? Is Blockbuster now quaint? Can a movie collection be as clear a window into character as a music collection? If you’re going to buy someone DVDs as a gift, do you have to get them a player first? How are these guys spending so much time talking about movies they haven 't seen? Can we separate the art from the artist? If Night Owl does put in a beaded back room, what should be in it??So Many Links:Color matching gameLocavore quest for TV/VCR comboTromaAce’s Pizza Blockbuster Training VideoTwisted Spine20-SidedKing of the Nerds showNashville trailerHard Eight trailerHundreds of Beavers trailerNight at the Museum trailerJohnny Dangerously trailerRevenge of the Nerds pilotC'mon C'mon trailerExcerpt from Louie “Duckling” episodePauli Gee’s pizzaL’Industrie PizzaRain City Video closureFull Carts Social: Bluesky, InstagramTheme music by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Jed Becker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, cover art by⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Margaret Flatley⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, music insertion by Skye MacLeodContact: [e-mail]
