“If you can’t laugh while talking Home Theater, you’re doing something wrong.”
Right?
Push Play and hear for yourself.


Happy holidays, home theater nerds! In this festive, freewheeling episode, Steve and DJ kick off by drawing winners for the Movember charity raffle and celebrate raising $2,262.61 for a great cause—thanks to our amazing community. The guys then dive into fresh home theater talk: DJ hits the cinema for Sisu 2 and declares it an even bigger, blood-soaked blast than the original with a killer wrap-up and big-time bass moments. Steve brings the surprising standout Karate Kid: Legends—beautifully shot, fun, and genuinely rejuvenating for the franchise, with crisp action choreography and strong Atmos—plus a heartfelt, clever coda. They also explore the wild, body-horror indie Together (gorgeously shot with a nerve-jangling sound design that turns the room into a character), and the Tom Hardy double-turn in Legend, which delivers a razor-detailed 4K transfer and a cool, American-tinged take on London gangster lore.

Beyond the reviews, there’s plenty of seasonal banter—snow stories, turkey sightings, and chat-room camaraderie—along with gratitude for patrons and supporters who helped us give back. The boys wrap up by teasing next week’s Takeover Tuesday on First Blood. Until then… go push play!
