Show Notes
THANK YOU for PUSHING PLAY
Series of the Year? Carrie, Endgame, and a Brutal Street Fighter Review
What a week and show this was!! From the heights of telekinetic high schoolers, to the lows of street fighters, to the heights of Endgame, to the lows of D grade Vampires… And going out on something AWESOME!! 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 share a packed home theater watch list, and they kicked things off with a big update on the upcoming 25-hour charity show for Movember. DJ talked about how the event is coming together, the guests already lining up, and the hope of getting more community help involved for future years so it can keep growing. From there, they dove straight into one of the biggest surprises of the year: Mike Flanagan’s Carrie series on Amazon. They were both blown away by how effective it is as long-form storytelling, how strong the performances are, and how incredible the home theater presentation is, especially the Atmos mix. For Steve, it instantly became series-of-the-year material.
The guys also revisited Avengers: Endgame as part of our road to Doomsday and talked about why it still lands as both an emotional payoff and a top-tier 4K demo disc. On the other end of the spectrum, Steve shared some blunt thoughts on the new Street Fighter movie, which absolutely did not work for him. They also took a nostalgic but brutally honest look at Vampire Hunter D, where DJ brought personal history to the conversation while they both admitted it hasn’t aged especially well. To close things out on a stronger note, they revisited Evil Dead Burn on 4K and had a much better time with it at home than Steve did in theaters, thanks to a far more immersive and effective home theater experience.
