Episode notes

If you're sitting in front of your big TV to watch a fancy movie, which again, Marco doesn't do that often, you are. Something in the system is trying to down mix and make sense out of it. It's kind of the opposite of the way it used to be when, quote unquote, surround sound first came out. I don't like spatial audio on movies. But, you know, down mixing is a fact of life.
