Score: 45

from 2 reviewers

Review Date:

'Roadie' charms with its quirks and music, despite wasted talent and audio woes. For fans of the era, it's a treat.

Roadie 4K UHD Blu-ray Front Cover

Disc Release Date

DTS-HD MA

Video: 54

Shout! Factory delivers 'Roadie' on Blu-ray with a detailed and natural-looking HD transfer, maintaining the film's era-specific aesthetics and filmic grain, while offering strong colors, contrast, and minimal damage.

Audio: 44

Quality Control missed a glaring issue: the advertised DTS-HD 5.1 mix on the disc is silent, showing up as Dolby 2.0 with no sound, despite Roadie's rich music that'd shine in surround. However, the DTS-HD 2.0 mix delivers clear music and dialogue with wide dynamic range.

Extra: 26

Insightful and entertaining commentary by writers Michael Ventura and James Big Boy Medlin, blending technical details, origins, and anecdotes seamlessly, possibly recorded separately. Plus, engaging HD trailers.

Movie: 56

Roadie, led by Meat Loaf, is an aimless journey through music cameos and antics, where charm outshines a cohesive plot, reflecting a blend of absurd humor and backstage rock 'n' roll life.
