I like the bit about watching old TV shows and paying more attention to the background than the movie
Just saw one on prohibition on Netflix and it had so many shots of interiors and old cars, but the pictures really are a window into the past and there are many examples of moldings and trim etc. many of the images in that weren't just movie sets, they were pictures and old film so the setting is indeed authentic to that era and I find the decor from 1930's and art deco era fascinating.
I love seeing the old radios being used in peoples homes. Everyone with an old house should have an old radio to play with. If anyone here wants to attempt to restore an antique radio to use in their old house I'd be happy to point them in the right direction. Most if reasonably complete, are restorable.
One of my fellow collector friends noted that he heard that if your freezer is half full, you can save power by filling the remaining space with empty cardboard boxes. We do the same but instead of empty boxes we use antique radios and they save heat because they occupy half the available air space in the house
