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 movie merch. Are digital video discs now analog? Is Blockbuster now quant? 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 need to get them a player first? Show of hands: Who separates the art from the artist? If Night Owl Video does put in a beaded back room, what should be in it??
