    Home Theater Experience: Ballerina: From the World of John Wick 4K
    Sep 19 2025
    THANK YOU for PUSHING PLAYFlamethrowers, Light Cycles, and Audio Gore: This Week in Home TheaterThis week, hear 2 fifty-something men swoon over a ship’s captain with a blonde pony tail, and then run for cover from a redhead in a chain mail bikini!! Plus, all the usual awesome HT fun and frolics!!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 week’s episode, Steve and DJ kick off with a lively chat about physical media pricing and the 4K disc market trends in the US and UK before diving into a full slate of home theater reviews. From a nuanced take on Master and Commander’s new 4K Atmos release (gorgeous video, refined immersion, lighter-than-expected bass), to a fun, neon-drenched romp with Ballerina (a John Wick-verse blast with spectacular flamethrower demo scenes), they cover the full spectrum. The guys also hit on Nobody 2’s punchy, comedic action, and a brutally effective horror showcase with Weapons—featuring standout audio design, gnarly detail, and a room-filling, overhead musical soundscape. Capping it off, they celebrate Tron’s brand-new 4K Dolby Vision/Atmos transfer as a push‑play showcase for HDR contrast and era-authentic visuals that feel newly electrified in the home theater. Not everything was a winner—Red Sonja (2025) gets a rare thumbs down across acting, writing, CG, and audio—but that only sharpened the contrast with the week’s highlights. Along the way, Steve and DJ reminisce about Robert Redford, chat international listening stats, and share a quick project update about DJ’s work truck makeover. If you’re looking for reference-grade moments and crowd-pleasing demo material, Ballerina’s flamethrowers, Weapons’ surgical sound design, and Tron’s striking HDR are must‑queue picks for your next movie night.🍿CHAPTERS🍿1.
