The studios are featured in the documentary film The Recording of Mr. Beast . Barry Burns has commented on the studio:
The Castle of Doom has actually turned out to be a really expensive gang hut. We have very expensive speakers and a broken dishwasher, so the priorities are right. [1]
Stuart Braithwaite has also commented on the studio, saying:
It took a bit of time to set up. As a result, we've discovered we're all useless with a lump hammer. [2]
