| 0:00.0 | The New Beverly Cinema presents the Pure Cinema Podcast. |
| 0:13.1 | My name's Brian Sauer. |
| 0:14.3 | I'm joined again by my video store buddy, Mr. Elricane. |
| 0:19.4 | Yeah, we're back in the video store. |
| 0:21.1 | Sometimes the topic comes along that we don't plan on being like the spine of our series. |
| 0:28.6 | I know technically people don't realize we do really do still do series. |
| 0:32.6 | It's just every year. |
| 0:33.5 | We're kind of doing different things that we plan out. |
| 0:35.9 | But this is kind of just emerged as every other episode, and it's been working pretty nicely right now, and we're kind of happy with it, because it allows us lots of opportunities to go different directions, which is helpful. So expect a couple more in this calendar year. But I will say it did get me thinking about one difference. We've been talking a lot about video stores our past and stuff. |
| 0:54.6 | And I was trying to think, oh, what do I miss most about a video store and that feeling walking in? |
| 0:58.5 | What I realized is, and you tell me if you agree, there's a huge difference for someone between someone who loved going to the video store and someone who worked in a video store. |
| 1:07.9 | And that huge difference is how your brain works. There's, like, you know, it's probably a lot of our listeners who didn't work in a video |
| 1:14.4 | store, love that feeling of going in and seeing all the things and the unlimited opportunities. |
| 1:18.6 | But if you ever worked in one, it's still a job. |
| 1:21.6 | And when you have a job, especially at low pay, your brain is always looking for shortcuts and I think the thing is you have an |
| 1:29.3 | organizational video store brain. So anyone who ever worked in a video store cannot, their |
| 1:34.3 | brain cannot work the same as someone who didn't because when you worked in one, your brain |
| 1:37.8 | is always thinking about how best to catalog, how fast you could do certain things to save |
| 1:42.4 | you other time to not be working all the time. |
| 1:44.9 | And so I think there's just this way of looking at movies and video. |
| 1:47.9 | It might really explain, this is me trying to psychoanalyze ourselves, |
| 1:51.5 | it might really explain how you end up on a podcast or something. |
