What would you do...to MAKE IT?

What's your dream?  Everyone's got one.  Some dreams, like mine, are quite simple.  I dream about a nice house in the mountains next to my own pond and a vehicle that is dependable.  But some dreams are much, much bigger!  Some like my sister (who is AMAZING) have dreams of record deals and stardom.  Now...what would you do to make that dream come true?  This week's Late Night Stream takes a look at people trying to make their dreams of being a star reality.

All the TV show streams will be available free on their networks website, and the movies will be available from Netflix streaming. I do not endorse or advocate illegal streams or downloads. 

Television Spotlight

The Voice - NBC

It's been over a decade since Simon, Paula, and Randy first brought us a whole new type of reality show.  American Idol has made stars of many of it's winners and even a few of those not lucky to be voted number 1 by the fans.  Well just as Idol revolutionized reality shows, The Voice has revolutionized the music reality TV show...at least in my opinion.  The entire focus of this show is...wait for it...THE MUSIC!  The contestants have blind auditions in front of four celebrity judges/coaches...although I really should say they sing "BEHIND" the coaches.  The coaches don't get to see the contestants at all until after they have heard them sing.  If the coaches like what they hear - then and only then do they get to see who they've chosen. 

Netflix Streaming Spotlight

Who doesn't like a little mindless fun sometimes?  Airheads isn't necessarily the best written or best acted movie of all time...but if a movie with Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler, and Steve Buscemi portraying a wannabe hair metal band that takes a radio station hostage just to get some airtime for their demo tape sounds like your cup of tea...then welcome to my mind!

Netflix streaming services are only $7.99 per month and you receive so much programming between Movies and TV shows it's a great bang for your buck.  (It works out to .26 cents a day)  If you don't already subscribe you can sign up

Disc Rental Spotlight

What's the first movie you think of when you hear the name Ralph Macchio?  Karate Kid probably.  Well not me...The only Ralph Macchio movie that matters in my opinion is Crossroads.  Classically trained guitarist decides to leave Julliard and follow his dream of becoming a blues guitarist.  Along the way he breaks an over this harmonica player out of jail and hitchhikes his way down to Mississippi.  Oh and a phenomenal guitar duel climax featuring Steve Vai!

Netflix has many different plans available from streaming only ($7.99/month), up to 8 discs at a time + streaming (DVD $51.98/month or Blu-Ray $60.98/month).  I personally get 1 blu-ray at a time + streaming which is $17.98/month).  Keep in mind that I don't get cable or dish and due to where I live am unable to receive any local channels via antenna.  I find that one disc is plenty for my needs, but you may want more or none at all.
