Stay Tuned Blu-ray Review

Score: 53

from 2 reviewers

Review Date:

Stay Tuned’s dated yet charming satire on electronic addiction is bolstered by Sony's proficient Blu-ray presentation, making it a recommended upgrade.

Disc Release Date

DTS-HD MA

Video: 60

Stay Tuned's Blu-ray presentation, shot on 35mm with Panavision cameras in anamorphic 2.35:1, is soft with drab colors and passable contrast, revealing some print wear and minor dirt specks. The 1080p resolution enhances textures slightly, but the transfer lacks the boldness of newer films.

Audio: 65

The DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 track for 'Stay Tuned' delivers an impressive auditory experience with robust front side width, well-prioritized dialogue, and effective surround use, providing spatial awareness and notable bass response despite its stereo constraints.

Extra: 16

The Blu-ray for 'Stay Tuned' includes only a single extra: an upscaled, 6-minute making-of featurette offering plot insights, character exploration, and cast interviews, but lacks any additional slipcover, DVD, or digital copies.

Movie: 56

"Stay Tuned," directed by Peter Hyams, is a nostalgic satire on television addiction that balances humor and a timeless warning about screen time, with John Ritter's character navigating comedic perils within TV show parodies. Though some jokes now feel dated, the film's core themes remain engaging and relevant.
