The Studio: A Hilarious Hollywood Satire


Another super fun show in the bag! 
This week: An infomercial where one of us says: ‘I ain’t buyin’ it.’ We say goodbye & thanks to Ice Man. John & Steve go gaga for The Studio. When it’s ’Man Down’, we step up (& balls up the ending) but the show must go on!

Lets get into ALL our Home Theater Experiences!

So much fun!

In this episode of the Bright Side Home Theater podcast, the boys dive into a variety of topics, starting with a tribute to the late Val Kilmer. They reminisce about his iconic roles in films like "Top Gun" and "Tombstone," highlighting his unique ability to steal scenes and leave a lasting impact. We also discuss the 1995 film "Batman Forever," featuring Val Kilmer as Batman, and explore its campy nod to the 1966 Batman series, complete with vibrant visuals and a stellar Atmos audio experience.

We then shift gears to discuss the new Apple TV+ series "The Studio," a hilarious insider look at Hollywood, featuring a star-studded cast and sharp wit. Additionally, we explore the gripping medical drama "The Pit" on Max, praised for its realism and intense storytelling. The episode also covers the intriguing film "The Substance," a body horror movie with deep themes about the beauty industry, and the thrilling "Revenge," a must-see for fans of the genre. Finally, we touch on the unexpected enjoyment found in the "Minecraft Movie," showcasing its appeal to both young audiences and those unfamiliar with the game.

It’s Take Over Tuesday where you the listener run the podcast.
And this week’s episode is featuring Nelson

In this episode, we dive into the world of home theater technology, focusing on the latest developments with the Kaleidescape Strato M and the Ava remote. We discuss the pros and cons of the new Kaleidescape Strato M, a device designed more for living room setups rather than dedicated theater rooms. The conversation explores the device's ability to deliver high-quality visuals and audio at a more affordable price, making it accessible for those looking to enter the Kaleidescape ecosystem. We also touch on the differences between the Strato M and the Strato V, and the considerations for choosing the right device based on your home theater setup.

Additionally, we delve into the features and setup of the Ava remote, a powerful tool for managing home theater systems. The discussion covers the remote's capabilities, including IP control, integration with various devices, and the ability to create customized activities and flows. We explore the potential of the Ava remote to simplify home theater management, offering insights into its setup process and the benefits it brings to users. Whether you're a home theater enthusiast or just starting out, this episode provides valuable insights into optimizing your home entertainment experience.

So much Fun!

We kick things off with a discussion on the latest episodes of "Reacher" Season 3, exploring the character dynamics and the thrilling conclusion of the season.

The conversation then shifts to the home theater experience of "Desperado" in 4K, highlighting the stunning visuals and immersive audio that bring this classic film to life in a new way.

We also explore the unexpected enjoyment of "Craven the Hunter" on Netflix, despite its mixed reviews, and the technical marvel of "Last Breath," a gripping true story that captivates with its emotional depth and impressive home theater presentation. Additionally, we discuss the new 4K release of "Deep Blue Sea" and its enhanced audio experience, as well as the latest episodes of "Daredevil," appreciating its gritty storytelling and character development. Join us as we share our insights and recommendations for these exciting home theater experiences.
