I've noticed this on a number of the Rhino produced DVDs vs. my own VHS
tapes (which I've converted to DVD). I suspect when Rhino got the
originals
from BBI, the movie and comments dialog were recorded on different
channels,
and perhaps either Comedy Central or Sci Fi Channel adjusted the volume on
both to be more equal, or Rhino boosted the volume on the comments because
they thought that that was more im****tant to hear Joel or Mike and the
bots
than the movie.
