    Theater Experience: The Running Man
    Nov 21 2025
    THANK YOU for PUSHING PLAYDinos, Destinations, and DTS: The Running Man ReturnsAnother week and another fun show! This week, we take another trip back to the 80s and Steve busts out some more French! There be AWESOME HT experiences ahead!!Enjoy!https://www.brightsidehometheater.com/movemberraffleLets 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 week’s show, Steve and DJ kick off with a behind-the-scenes livestream hiccups and a fun chat about physical media, from steelbooks to the current state of 4K discs and where they still shine over streaming. They swap travel-and-tech stories (yes, movie glasses on public transit can be awesome) before diving into a packed slate of home theater experiences: Crocodile Dundee II’s surprisingly stellar 4K presentation, a lukewarm but Atmos-noteworthy moment in the new I Know What You Did Last Summer, and the delightfully over-the-top Jurassic World: Rebirth, which is big, loud, and inoffensively fun at home. The boys also dig into two Running Man entries—Schwarzenegger’s 1987 classic with a shockingly aggressive room-filling DTS-HD mix that plays like an 80s sonic time capsule, and Edgar Wright’s grounded reimagining with Glenn Powell, which we found entertaining, timely, and primed for a great future home release. Plus, DJ gushes over Apple TV+’s Pluribus: an immaculately mixed, reference-worthy streaming track with subtle but precise Atmos work and razor-sharp HDR that’s already a standout of the year. They wrap with Movember updates and the stacked raffle: a Kaleidescape M, SVS SB 1000 Pro subwoofer, custom-built bookshelf speakers by Ara Derdarian, an Indiana Jones box set, and a 2026 CEDIA trip package. All details, terms, and how to enter are on the site—every donation supports men’s health, and winners pick prizes in order drawn.

  • Theater Experience: Predator: Badlands

    Theater Experience: Predator: Badlands
    Nov 14 2025
    THANK YOU for PUSHING PLAYCrocodile Dundee, Del Toro’s Frankenstein, and a Predator Left TurnAnother week, another very fun show… This week, we go into Landscape AND Portrait mode! Loads of great HT experiences discussed and a unique perspective on The Big Bang Theory! Enjoy!https://www.brightsidehometheater.com/movemberraffleLets 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 episode, Steve and DJ kick it off with a thoughtful, surprisingly deep dive into media through the lens of real‑world law and ethics, then pivot hard into home theater goodness. They spotlight the powerful documentary Return to Auschwitz: The Survival of Vladimir Monk (thanks to filmmaker Paul Frederick), why it’s a must‑experience and how it plays in a calibrated theater. From there, the guys have fun revisiting Crocodile Dundee in 4K (and what’s different in the newer cut), the immersive Apple TV+ firefighter drama The Lost Bus (Greengrass + McConaughey + excellent Atmos), and a shockingly demo‑worthy Blu‑ray in A Monster Calls with reference‑grade sound design. They also sample season 3 of The Diplomat and its sneaky overhead helo pan, then dive into Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein on Netflix—gorgeous presentation with divisive storytelling—before closing with Predator: Badlands, where expectations, genre shifts, and theater tech (hello laser projection and captions) collide, and why a 4K rewatch at home could change the game.Along the way Steve and DJ compare theatrical vs. home viewing, note streamers’ often top‑tier audio/video masters, and share updates on our Movember fundraiser and worldwide audience growth. Lots of laughs, plenty of strong opinions, and a stack of watch‑list additions—all about the experiences, as always.CHAPTERS1. (00:00:00) Cold open chaos, jokes, and going live mishaps2.

  • Take Over Tuesday: Featuring 25 Hour Clips

    Take Over Tuesday: Featuring 25 Hour Clips
    Nov 11 2025
    It’s Take Over Tuesday where you the listener run the podcast.And this week’s episode is featuring more clips form the 25 hour show! Film Love, Real Talk: Funding Docs, HDR History, and Tinkering With The Perfect Room#Movemberhttps://www.brightsidehometheater.com/movemberraffleIn this Takeover Tuesday, DJ kick things off acknowledging last week’s audio hiccups and jump into a rich, multi-part conversation about passion projects, filmmaking realities, and home theater obsession. They open with Paul Frederick and Jon Thompson discussing Paul’s documentary “Return to Auschwitz: The Survival of Vladimir Munk”—how it was self-funded during the pandemic, got on 98% of PBS stations, later hit digital platforms, and even won a regional Emmy. Paul shares the emotional impact of returning with Vladimir to Auschwitz, the challenge of financing indie films, festival timing, distribution economics, and the value (and cost) of visibility. They also talk about classroom screenings, combating Holocaust denial through lived testimony, and the craft choices—music, pacing, and the 5.1 mix—that shape audience experience.From there, They pivot into the home theater deep end with Khris Deering and crew: HDR history (BrightSide to Dolby Pulsar), contrast math, why projector tech evolves slowly, and the harsh business realities behind DLP vs. LCOS, three‑chip systems, and modular laser light engines. They get candid about valuing expertise, supporting local dealers, and the fine line between consultation and “free cheeseburgers.” Then DJ hangs with Mikey, Johnny Speakers, and Omar on real‑world setups: Lumagen magic (auto aspect ratio and tone mapping gains), HDMI handshakes, projector vs. OLED tradeoffs, room isolation vs. calibration challenges, SIM racing rabbit holes, and the irresistible urge to tweak racks, wiring, and gear just for the fun of it. They wrap with quick takes on the F1 movie’s Maverick‑style thrills and an open invite to join our ongoing community conversations.Chapters(00:00:00) Opening, audio fixes, and episode roadmap(00:02:47) Paul Frederick introduces "Return to Auschwitz"(00:08:29) Oscar campaigns, costs, and YouTube as lifeline(00:12:35) Viewer reaction: impact of Vladimir’s story on the big screen(00:19:06) Why the film was made: memory against denial(00:21:44) Holocaust denial confronted and the tattoo’s meaning(00:24:09) 5.1 mix, music choices, and editing under constraints(00:28:06) Recognition: Emmy win, sensitivity, and giving Vladimir his plaque(00:31:31) What’s next for Paul and regional documentaries(00:33:06) Giveaways and CEDIA trip setup(00:33:52) Projector black levels and the Christie Eclipse debate(00:35:29) Display tech deep‑dive: HDR, backlights, and contrast math(00:45:34) Why high‑end projection stays expensive(01:03:01) Is home theater dying or just harder to discover?(01:09:19) Paths into the hobby and doing the right thing(01:10:48) Kris signs off; camaraderie and debate among friends(01:16:04) Lumagen auto aspect switching and input routing(01:22:01) Video processors as tools, not necessities(01:26:24) AB testing, FOMO, and hearing hidden details(01:31:11) Chasing reference vs. late‑night listening compromises(01:36:42) Designing two rooms: theater vs. podcast studio(01:39:37) Sim racing rabbit holes and resisting demos(02:03:30) Projector temptations: Valeria Max vs. JVC(02:06:47) Processing matters more: shootouts and tone‑mapping(02:23:38) Speaker choices, room acoustics, and shows vs. home(02:27:15) Advice without context and influencer caveats(02:30:06) The joy of tinkering: cable management and mistakes(02:36:27) F1 movie thrills vs. realism and why cinema exaggerates(02:39:25) Wrap‑up, Movember raffle reminders, and sign‑offLinks from the ShowRyan’s Movember Pagehttps://us.movember.com/mospace/5466773?mc=1&utm_medium=share&utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=copy-clipboard Follow & Say Hi to the Guys on TwitterDJ - Bright Side Home Theater (@BrightSideHT) / TwitterJohn - John Circone ⚽️ (@JohnCircone) / TwitterSteve - Steve George (@LegalBeagleOK) / TwitterAnd if you’d like to contribute to the show…Here are Two Ways YOU CAN BE ON THE SHOWEmail the guys and put “HT Experience” in the subject line they will talk about your comment on the Podcast.
