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??
