Yes, absolutely.

I mean, I've got memories of, tangent time, I've got memories of in sort of the late 80s, whenever you'd rent, Police Academy or Police Academy 2 or some Warner Home Video thing, there'd always be an After Hours trailer on those tapes.

Oh, really? Yes, I remember seeing the trailer when I was younger, but I never actually saw the film until probably, what, five, six years ago or something.

Loved it.

Thank you for coming on, and let's talk first about how you even got to be in the driver's seat for bringing information to and from Warner Brothers to the theatrical guys in Vietnam, or gals, because Galaxy is like run by, yeah, yeah.

Absolutely, absolutely, yeah, so let me kind of go, rewind back a little bit around when I first started at Warner Brothers, you know, it was in Burbank, so I had about a year in Burbank, just sort of like with the no, you know, the landscape, who's who, how the business operates, right? And at the time, it was called Warner Home Video.

Later, it would be recognized as Warner Brothers Home Entertainment.

But Warner Home Video was really the vision of the studio that drove the home entertainment products.

So you think about, you know, the pay-per-view business model.

You also think about the, you know, at the time, DVD had just first come out, right? So looking at, you know, understanding those market dynamics, when was the right time to introduce these different products right to the market and then be able to capitalize on a perhaps a better and better quality video, as well as additional behind the scenes footage right around that particular IP above and beyond VHS.

Oh, we're so old.

We're so old, but we're very, very excited to be talking about, in association with Warner Home Video and the upcoming 4K UHD Blu-ray Steelbook and collector's edition release of Frank Oz's Little Shop of Horrors, which is indeed celebrating its 40th anniversary.

My goodness, I feel old.

And joining me to discuss this movie over the next, oh, 45 minutes or so, are two colleagues of such lethal cunning.

And on that note.

[laughs]

[laughs] On that note, that is it for our, uh, in-depth discussion of Little Shop of Horrors, in association, of course, with Warner Home Video and the upcoming 4K UHD Blu-ray Steelbook and Collector's Edition, which is out on October 19th, Monday, October 19th.

Of course, if you're listening to this after October 19th, then it's already out.

Mm-hmm.

Creepshow made its way into American VHS and Betamax through Warner Home Video in '83.

I'm sure people would take it and run.

Mm.

It's great.

D- what, what do you think just in terms of the three-strip Technicolor process? Well f- well, first of all, you, that reminded me there was a wonderful documentary that was on a lot of, um, Blu-rays that came out kind of in the early mid-2000s called "Glorious Technicolor" on Warner Home Video or whatever.

And I remember an interview, um, Arlene Dahl is one of the interviewers on that, and she was talking about how bright the Technicolor lights were and how even later in life she would always have to wear dark sunglasses when she would go out in the sun just 'cause of the damage all the Technicolor lights did to her eyes.

So yeah, definitely.
