First time I got one of those Roku remotes that had a microphone I was like “who uses this?” Then I visited my mom and she picked up her remote and said “Play This Is Us” and my question was answered! :D
My mother, bless her, has had a lifelong hatred of wires, electronics boxes, clutter...
Thanks Ron, appreciate the kind words. I take no joy in the idea that the type of collecting that has been a lifelong hobby is fading away, and I don’t write any of that with glee. But I genuinely believe our membership would be better served to understand what is happening right now and why, so...

I’m just surprised that it got its own SKU and wasn’t folded into the 4K releases (like Alita: Battle Angel). Not a complaint, just figured they’d...
