Show Notes
THANK YOU for PUSHING PLAY
Project Hail Mary, Blade, and a 25-Hour Home Theater Marathon!
The warm up for this weekend’s 25 hour show was ALL kinds of fun!! We got through a LOT of experiences this week… The order, from memory, is: Tony Scott, Tony Scott, Vampire, Vampire, Marvel, Marvel, Marvel, Gosling & Audrey II… Enjoy!
Lets get into ALL our Home Theater Experiences! So much fun! “If you can’t laugh while talking Home Theater, you’re doing something wrong.” Right? Push Play and hear for yourself.
This week Steve and DJ had an absolute blast catching up with everyone and diving into a packed stack of home theater experiences. They talked about the upcoming 25-hour Movember charity livestream, shouted out the amazing community support behind it, and previewed a few things on the watchlist, including the sound-focused horror film Undertone and a big-screen trip for Godzilla Minus Zero. From there, they got into a long run of reviews, starting with Arrow’s 4K release of The Last Boy Scout, which they agreed is still a wildly entertaining, flawed, funny action classic with a serviceable Atmos mix. They also hit Tony Scott’s The Hunger, celebrated Blade as still one of the coolest comic book movies ever made, and revisited Blade II, where the movie still rules even if the current Blu-ray audio left a little to be desired.
The guys also worked through more of the Doomsday prep list, including Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which remains a fantastic movie even if the disc’s low-end disappointed me, plus Loki season 1 and season 2, where Steve loved revisiting the multiverse setup but had a much rougher time with the second season. On a much happier note, Project Hail Mary absolutely floored Steve on disc, with audio so immersive it felt like it went through him instead of just around him, and Little Shop of Horrors ended the week on a huge high with a stunning 4K presentation and a phenomenal Atmos mix. If you love home theater discs that remind you why this hobby is so much fun, this episode is loaded with them.
