Of course! :)
Here are a few of my favorite youtube channels that cover our universe.
These guys do a good job of giving excellent and creditable facts while keeping the video short and sweet.
https://www.youtube.com/user/scishowspace
This channel covers more than just space, but again they give good facts while still keeping the videos not too lengthy.
https://www.youtube.com/user/Kurzgesagt
And of course, nothing gets more credibility than the big guys themselves, NASA. These videos are a bit long, but are just loaded with a ton of real world space Q&A's.

The few magazines I have lying around my house right now are all related to space, and they are a great read for any of my guests! Heres a link for the planetary society (main source of my reading material)
http://planetary.org/
and here are a few books that every curious mind should take a good long glance at when it comes to our universe.

The main podcast I listen to is Star Talk with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. He has a plethora of different guests on at all times talking about new and fascinating topics. Here's a link for his show

And when it comes to articles, most of them come from Reddit! I am subscribed to a ton of different space related subreddits which post countless numbers of interesting articles all the time. Here is a small list just to name a few

I hope this helps!
I dunno, man. I guess I was giving my 2 cents on the next best thing from a "theater experience" aside from some of the users here that have home theater setups. I understand that not everyone can afford a good set of cans, but it's really a wise investment if you take care of them.
I'm not sure what the audio quality is like on digital releases, I bought the blu ray and ripped it keeping the 7.1 Master Audio and 5.1 Dolby Digital tracks.
[if you're curious, any 'ol SATA Blu-Ray reader is capable of ripping with MakeMKV - There's a free trial but afterwards it's $50, I've ripped well more than that amount in borrowed/rented/owned blu-rays so it's already paid for itself. No I will not upload anything i've ripped]
My brother has these and they're awesome
The ones I have
Compare them to the Sonys that all the sound engineers I know use and you'll get a better perspective
Hope this helps
Celestron 21035 70mm Travel Scope:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001TI9Y2M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I probably could have spent more time researching one, but it had good reviews, travels easily, isn't too complicated to set up and it's a great price. I decided I'd rather start here and work my way up to something more advanced later on than buy one now that's too advanced for me and more expensive.
Plus it has 70mm in the name, and I saw Interstellar on IMAX 70mm so the Murphy in me told me it was fate. :)
This is an older system, but the speakers are absolutely great for the price. SLS is a pro-audio company that dabbled in consumer audio with Best Buy and made this system several years ago.
It's what I'd reccomend: http://www.amazon.com/SLS-Q-Line-Surround-Theater-System/dp/B000JZSYZO
Kip Thorne discussed this a little in The Science of Interstellar. All the effects of the wormhole and blackhole were rendered using scientifically accurate relativistic equations and the wormhole that's portrayed in the movie actually has a very short length to minimize the distortion and reflection of the light coming from the far side of the wormhole, Nolan wanted to avoid confusing the audience. The problem was that traveling through this wormhole was too quick and uninteresting, similar to the wormhole animation you mentioned.
They tried varying the parameters of the wormhole to make traveling through it more interesting, but weren't able to produce anything really fresh and interesting. Longer wormholes looked like a long tunnel whizzing past, which looked too much like things we've seen in movies before. In the end they went with a look that was influenced greatly by General Relativity, but made more abstract and with some artistic license.
You loved interstellar? Get to know the physics behind it. I would say, read Science of Interstellar by Kip Thorne himself who decided to bring a great movie based on science fiction in Hollywood and inspire Astronomy in people.
Consider this. We can move anywhere in the three dimensions. We are three dimensional creatures, which are restrained in the 4th dimension. We can move forward and backward, up and down, provided the technology we can physically go anywhere in the 3D universe. But we can't do that with time.
Time isn't not real, it's just not well understood. It's a singular direction.
Another helpful way of thinking is, ironically, in black holes. Most people think that a black hole is a strong gravitational thing that is so strong that light can't escape. But that's just a layman's explanation. In fact, a black hole is spacetime that is warped so much that there is only one direction to go - inward. Well, much like a light beam in a black hole, time only goes one direction for us. Heck, new research seems to think we could be living inside a black hole!
Check out a couple resources: The youtube channel PBS Spacetime. Also, Kip Thorne's The Science of Interstellar if you're interested in knowing more.
Interstellar (Blu-ray / DVD) (Collectible Gift Set) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DP6YWVK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_97C1DbNYHQ6ED
Bought it myself a few weeks ago. Everything came out great. It even came with an actual IMAX film cell. (I got a frame of Matt Damon on Mann's planet, pretty cool stuff)

The kip thorne novel is rather interesting to read through. You might require a bit of a background in physics for it to be interesting. The math is left out but having a few college courses will help with understanding the basic underlying concepts. Throne touches on when artistic license was used and lists plenty of further reading if you become interested.

More things make sense than you'd first believe. I've been reading Kip Thorne's book The Science of Interstellar and it's really great at breaking down the events and science in the movie, explaining what is absolutely true, what is more speculation based on true science etc.
I can't really answer that. The movie might just be inconsistent with itself or Nolan may have departed from what Thorne intended in showing that scene. The handshake always felt like an extreme stretch to me anyway.
It's pretty clear what Thorne had intended, though, from his book. Cooper is scooped out of the black hole into "the bulk" (hyperspace) by the tesseract. See page 255 or so. The Amazon link looks like it has some of these pages available for viewing:

OP here. I said sci fi writer to clarify that I'm not an authority. I spent two years of my free time reading up on the subject before writing my first book, so while I'm not an authority I do have creative perspective that I wanted to share.
Sorry if that was confusing. Kip Thorne, the physicist who helped make the movie, is an actual authority and he actually wrote a book, "The Science of Interstellar", which I haven't read but is apparently really good.

It is from the book "The Science of Interstellar" written by Kip Thorne, who is the scientific consultant and executive producer of the movie.
Interstellar – Building A Black Hole
It is a good book and it goes well with the movie if you are interested in the physics and smaller details of Interstellar.
Any chance you could link the bundle you’re talking about? Only thing I can find on amazon is this:
https://www.amazon.com/Interstellar-Blu-ray-Ellen-Burstyn/dp/B0767FCYDW
But that link doesn’t specify anywhere that it’s in 4K, so I’m hesitant to order.
Thanks!
i love reading these "rants".. such an epic film. still recovering from seeing it.
"There needs to be a book that expands on this universe because I can't get enough."
go buy Kip Thornes "the science of interstellar"

http://www.amazon.com/The-Science-Interstellar-Kip-Thorne/dp/0393351378
Great book to understanding the science presented in the film.
He has a chapter devoted to the basics of the science gone over in the book, I wouldn't worry. Take a look at the table of contents by using the "Look inside" feature Amazon has. Link to book here.
Thanks for informing us. Where do we buy this? Obviously it's easy to just re-order the mp3's, but I'm trying at least have all 24 of these songs.
Edit: Is this the best I can do? If so, I'm going to buy this one. Thanks for the pointers!

Dude, I think you need to see the film again, or read Kip Thorne's accompanying book (an excellent read). None of the explanation you posted is required for the physics they used to present the film.

Three times. I'd like to pretend I'm smart enough to have memorized the dialog that well but I really just looked it up in the novelization.

I just want to point out that he has no formal education in science. He is basically a crackpot.
The explanation in this video of the fifth dimension is as a "probability space of Everett's Many Worlds" theorem and this idea has not been accepted mainstream science. Mainstream physics understands the fifth dimension as a spatial (space) dimension, not a temporal (time) dimension.
Read the reviews for his book, he is called out throughout the reviews by people that actually know what they are talking about.

I bought this watch. It may not look anything like coopers, but it was close enough for me. My next watch however will be his = D
No clue on the show but there's a book about it. Check it out: http://www.amazon.com/Interstellar-Beyond-Mark-Cotta-Vaz/dp/0762456833/ref=cm_cr_dp_asin_lnk
Came here to say this. We do actually know shit about the science of interstellar travel, and it's all in The Science of Interstellar.
