something you might want to know Sam, I just tried to leave a review on your Podcast series on my Apple Podcast app, but It doesn't want to load? There may have been others in the same boat!!! It allows you to set it up and title it but when done, and you hit save it goes away, going back to review it is the same review that I added but not submitted???
So for you, if you can add it to the mix, is my short review...

Just caught Sam’s latest interview with the head of the Warner Archive Collection, in regulars to upcoming releases. I had been with Home Theater Forum for quite some time, yet never knew that Sam was producing these, very nice!!
He’s through, insightful and gets the info for all of us that collect movies, no matter the format, you can walk away with news you can use!! I’ve added his Podcast to my Listen to list, you should too!!

Check out his other podcasts (all posted in this subforum of course). They actually aren't often lengthy interviews w/ studio insiders like this one, but cover all sorts of very worthwhile HT stuff of interest -- and AFAIK, Sam (and usually also @Brian Dobbs) will consider suggestions for interesting topics and guests, especially if you can help procure such guests for them, hehheh.

I'd suggest just tagging this subforum to "watch" for new threads for whenever new podcasts are posted.

It means the poster I quoted is correct and I agree with them completely

Great show, Sam! Thanks!

 

[Sam Posten]

Seriously thank you all for the very kind feedback. It was truly an honor to interview Mr. Feltenstein and the reactions have been 99% positive. I’m really bummed to not have plans to hit CEDIA due to RL issues with family health but am seriously considering hitting CES

It was one of the best I have heard with Mr F!

 

[ManW_TheUncool]

Just realized I didn't actually thank you (in post), Sam.

Thanks much for doing this! And Congrats! Keep these excellent, fun, informative podcasts coming!

Sam the really ONLY film we need to see with Perspecta sound would be White Christmas it was never is stereo and the great Bob Furmanek said he had a print and the sound was effective and the tracks still exist. I never heard of the process until seeing the credit on screen for that film - Sorry off topic with Paramount film but that would be nice seems Mr F really was not impressed with the process saying a cheaper process than stereo

If I recall correctly from GF's answer to the Perspecta question, when he remarked about such films usually having better multi-channel elements, he also suggested that the only time a Perspecta track would really be a plus is if the movie would otherwise only be mono. So White Christmas -- if it were a Warner title -- would be an appropriate use of a Perspecta track.

 

[Sam Posten]

I don’t know if that’s true or not. It’s a pretty big leap. It’s an interesting thought but I wouldn’t stake my life on it.

And White Christmas was not stereo so Perspecta might be a great discovery == meanwhile what was MGMS first stereo film?

That was the best 100 minutes I've spent listening to anything for ages. George Feltenstein is a saint! Unfortunately it sounds like he's going to bankrupt me next year...bring it on!

I'm no longer interested in anything anybody from Warner Bros has to say until they finish releasing the TV series they promised 6-7 years ago. Namely Paradise/Guns of Paradise seasons 2 and 3. and others. We have a list of over 5000 people who agree until Warner's releases the titles they started we will not purchase any Warner's titles. 90% of the members in our Television collects group has purchased nothing from Warner's in the last 2 years. Our suggestion to Warner's is that they finish releasing the series they started or pack it in. They can keep their damn re-issues.
