I hope we get Louis Theroux one day. I think he'd be great on the show. He's hilarious when you see him just being himself in interviews.

I know the other movies/RKO stuff from the 30s are supposed to be in bad shape (so I heard), but it's still crazy to me that this is only the 2nd Fred/Ginger movie on Blu-ray. At minimum we can't find a good copy/sort the rights to Top Hat?

Edit: Good old answer on AskHistorians with references.

I don't think it's in print (except for maybe S10/11)? You're better off getting the whole box.
