  • I’m addicted!

    I spend large amounts of time driving and I just love this podcast! I’ve been into home theater since the late 80s and subscribed to such things as the Laserdisc Newsletter to The Perfect Vision magazine. Always to get an idea of what movies make great demos for my theater. This fits the bill perfectly and I love the banter and the community. Keep it up guys I LOVE IT!
