The Pacific on HBOWV Brew “absolutely great cinematography, story and one of most active bombastic soundtracks most every episode. Contless flyovers front to back and back to front with concussive bass.”

This week DJ is joined by Lee Overstreet from AV Rant to talk about Sci Fi in movies.  They get into Lee's likes and dislikes in Sci Fi and how different movies tackle the genre in different ways.  How Sci Fi has progressed over the years and in some cases maybe regressed too?  Plenty of Home Theater tangents as these two just chat away and have a blast just hanging out talking Home Theater.  To check out all that and so much more all you have to do is push play...
