“If you can’t laugh while talking Home Theater, you’re doing something wrong.”
Right?
Push Play and hear for yourself.
Steve is back on the mic—croaky voice and all—and he and DJ dive straight into a lively, anything-goes session that ranges from courtroom war stories to Olympic fever and a whole lot of home theater goodness. They kick off with the nerves (and wins) of solo live hosting, lean on the chat as their safety blanket, and share some hearty laughs about wolves, dogs, and curling before settling into the real meat: a stack of premium 4K home theater showcases. DJ recaps a family trip to the movies for GOAT (a vibrant, bassy, crowd-pleasing animated sports romp), and then they tag-team a run of absolute bangers: The Grey (DV, demo-tier upgrade), End of Watch (staggering 4K clarity with pores-for-days detail), From Dusk Till Dawn (Dolby Vision revelation that makes it feel brand-new), and a fresh spin on Minority Report (a reference-level remaster where HDR turns the greenhouse and cityscapes into jaw-dropping set pieces). The guys close by crowning the Criterion 4K of No Country for Old Men as a perfect video transfer—calm lenses, razor detail, and sublime shadow handling—plus a heartfelt nod to Miracle (both the new Netflix doc and the film) during peak Olympic vibes. Along the way: chat roll call, a quick SVS/Ara speakers giveaway update, a tease of upcoming titles (some you’ll love, one DJ absolutely won’t), and plenty of A/V geekery about HDR, grain, upmixing, and why some films feel like they were shot for 4K decades before it existed. Croak and coughs included—gold all night.
