THANK YOU for PUSHING PLAY

Primate Panic, Dogma Drama, and Field of Dreams in DTS:X

What a week and what a show! And it could’t have come at a better time!
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.

In this lively Bright Side Home Theater session, Steve and DJ kick off with banter about winter weather acclimation, chat hijinks, and a spirited film-nerd debate: Is Return of the Jedi a stone-cold classic alongside A New Hope and Empire? From there, they dive into a wide-ranging conversation on modern classics since 2000 (No Country for Old Men, Gladiator, Master and Commander), and the sometimes tense crossroads between film criticism and home theater accuracy—spotlighting Criterion’s Eyes Wide Shut 10-bit vs. 12-bit controversy and why technical nuance matters for serious cinema and large-screen systems.  The Guys also share a fun studio gear update and shoutouts to the community. Home theater highlights include: theatrical take on the brutal, practical-effects-driven horror Primate; the tense Stephen King adaptation The Long Walk on 4K; the apocalyptic sequel Greenland 2: Migration; a glowing reappraisal of Out of Sight’s excellent Kino 4K; a split take on Dogma’s new 4K (UK disc), with great audio upmixing but video concerns; and a heartfelt celebration of Field of Dreams’ 4K/DTS:X mix, where the ethereal voice and score wrap around the room. They wrap up with community Q&A, disc/streaming comparisons, and notes on upcoming coverage.
