home entertainment

This is the first of our REPLAY podcasts, where we revisit some of our early hidden gems, compilations, and most popular episodes.  

Episode specific description:
Prepare yourselves, film buffs and cinema enthusiasts, as we embark on a fascinating journey through the ever-evolving film and home entertainment industries with none other than George Feltonstein of Warner Brothers. We'll be tracing George's illustrious career, from his roots in MGM UA to his current role in preserving classic films at Warner Brothers. He'll also share his insights on the marketing and distribution of these timeless creations, and his role as the producer for over 100 restored soundtrack album CDs. 

In our conversation, we venture into the realm of technology's transformative impact on home entertainment. We unpack the revolutionary influence of the laserdisc format, the innovative extras MGM included in the Wizard of Oz anniversary edition, and the game-changing introduction of the DVD format by Warren Lieberfab in 1996. 

Brace yourselves as George and I tango with the complex dance of niche audiences, film preservation, and profitability in the cinematic world. We'll delve into his experiences in catalog marketing during the heyday of VHS and DVD, explore the rise of brand marketing, and dissect the success of film franchises like Forbidden Hollywood. On top of that, we'll also touch on the allure of precode and film noir films for younger audiences, the crucial role of technology in film preservation, and Warner Brother's unique relationship with UCLA. Trust me, you don't want to miss the stories behind the preservation of classic films such as The Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, and Singin' in the Rain, and the paramount importance of preserving the tales behind these films' creation.

Hello everyone, in today's episode I talk about board games. The most recent one I played is called Machi Koro 2--an easy, fun board game where you build establishments,  earn returns, and build 3 landmarks to win. 

In this day and age, board games may sound boring compared to our smartphones, computers and other forms of multi-media entertainment. Yet board games have its unique merits. First, it's very engaging since you need to actively think about your moves as well as other players'. And more importantly, you can have a wonderful time with your friends and family without the distraction of things like your phones.

最近我接触了两个新的桌游。一个叫《卡坦岛》（Catan）。一个是《街口 2》（Machi Koro 2）。昨天我玩儿的是《街口2》。在这个游戏中，玩家扮演市长的角色，购买餐厅，果园，购物中心等各种物业。然后掷色子🎲。如果掷到符合自己物业卡片要求的数字就会得到相应的回报。游戏中玩家努力扩展自己的物业，增加收入，用来购买标志性的建筑（landmark）。最先建成三个标志性建筑的玩家就赢了比赛。街口是一款简单好玩的桌面游戏。很容易上手。

我小时候玩过很多桌游。但是好像长大以后就很少玩了。我觉得是因为现代人的室内娱乐方式更多了。首先，人人都有智能手机。业余时间大家可以用手机上网，听歌儿，刷社交媒体，看YouTube视频什么的。其次，现在有各种视频流媒体。大家在家就可以用Hulu，Amazon Prime看电影，看剧。或者看有线电视上的娱乐节目，体育比赛直播。在各种多媒体的娱乐时代，桌游或者卡牌游戏感觉有点儿无聊。但是其实桌游是很有意思的。玩桌游需要动脑，主动去制定自己的策略，同时观察、分析别人的情况。这些都会让你很投入到游戏中，一点儿都不会无聊。而且，没有手机、电视、电脑的打扰，跟亲朋好友围坐在一起玩桌游，一边玩一边聊天说话，度过快乐的时光。这是多么美好的一件事呀！我觉得大家可以考虑聚会的时候多玩儿玩儿桌游。而不是大家都自己在玩儿手机。

Your favourite guest, Dr. Atif Ghaffar of Zebra Home Cinema is back along with his alter-ego, Tony Montana/Scarface!

Episode 31 with Tyler Foley had such an impact on Atif that he immediately put into practice some of what Tyler taught me about the most impactful ways to network and meet new people. And so did I!

Having been to a few events between the two of us recently, we wanted to compare notes and see how far we’d come since last December’s networking nightmare… 

Among the things we discuss:

• Not all events are created equal
• The importance of intent and prioritising have a good time
• Definitely what NOT to do when you meet people for the first time
• How personal presentation and the way you dress can help make a room come to you

Enjoy!

“The future is now!”

Welcome back to another juiced up, stalkerific, life-disrupting episode of THE FILM SNARKS!!!

This week, we’re taking a little ride on the information superhighway and heading back to the mid-90’s once more, a time when home TVs were monstrously oversized tubes, a time when MTV still played real ACTUAL music videos on said tubes, and most relevant to the movie in question this week, waiting hours at a time for the cable company to show up at your home to install your cable!

It’s probably painfully obvious that we’re talking about the 1996 Jim Carrey-starring and Ben Stiller-directed dark comedy, The Cable Guy, which turned 25 this week on June 14th if you can believe that!

What would you do if you had a stage 5 clinger that just wouldn't leave you alone? How would you react if someone invaded every aspect of your life and turned everything upside down?

Join us this week as we find out if making us dislike Jim Carrey was a strategic mistake and does The Cable Guy suffer for it, or is it another wholly misunderstood 90s flick that deserves a second life 25 years on?

“This concludes our broadcast day. Click.”

Ben Green joins the podcast for a follow-up chat of the last episode. Building on our discussion about residential gaming set-ups and the integrator, Ben talks about the next generation of consoles in the PS5 and XBox Series X and what their power can bring to the table.

With these two new systems, consoles can finally bridge the gap between console and PC gaming systems. On top of its computing power, there are plenty of opportunities to use these systems as a media hub, with Sony releasing a PS5 media remote alongside their consoles.

We hope you enjoy!

On the latest episode of Inside Julia’s Kitchen, host Todd Schulkin speaks with Chicago chef and cookbook author Paul Kahan. They discuss Paul’s new book, Cooking for Good Times, and his top tips for entertaining at home. Plus, Paul shares his Julia Moment.
