Earlier this week, you may have noticed that a court ruled against Alphabet and Meta in regards to liability in a civil suit. What’s also interesting is timing. On the same day that verdict hit, I had just finished watching Your Attention Please, which is a documentary exploring the dangers of social media on our youth, and how these companies study scientifically how to keep us online. If we are online, our attention is monetized, in the forms of ads, or even sponsoring content creators already in your feed. This documentary does try and start at the beginning, moving through … Continue reading Going In Blind: Your Attention Please

(Disney Plus) no audio description Something Very Bad Is Gonna happen- Deeply unsettling, unnerving, and uncomfortable, this new show from the team behind Brand New Cherry Flavor, and The Duffer Brothers (Stranger Things), shows us a wedding that doesn’t look like it ends well, and backs us up five days when … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 03/26/26

The episode was solid overall, with some really excellent audio description. Even the recap was audio described. Matt is still trying to save New York … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 03/25/26

I do wish this show had audio description, so we could know more about these singers, and the other singers already cut, but this was a tight night. I wonder how the voting is going. Keila really shut down everything … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 03/24/26

I’m begging you for Mercy, why won’t you release me? Amazon, who seems to have an increasing trend of isolationist films on their slate, with War Of The Worlds, Mercy, and Project Hail Mary all three requiring n actor to spend the overwhelming majority of the film by himself, or in the case of Project Hail Mary, at least as the only man with a face. Mercy is another dystopian thriller about a future not so far from ours, where our privacy has been given up to a world full of cameras and screens, and algorithms and artificial intelligence now … Continue reading Mercy (2026)

VSI did the audio … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 03/22/26

This may surprise you, but they already filmed One Mile: Chapter 2. Despite no box office, this Ryan Phillippe franchise secured enough funding to film two films back to back from September 2024 to November 2024. After post-production, and what I can only assume was a desperate attempt to obtain some kind of domestic theatrical release, One Mile landed on PVOD platforms in February 2026. As of this, I’ve only seen the first chapter. I’m holding with bated breath waiting for the right moment to jump into the thrilling second chapter.So, what is this? A prequel to 8 Mile? Directed … Continue reading One Mile: Chapter 1

the audio description properly disturbed me. There was a use of the word “concave” that has stuck with me. The Beast In Me is a fun, dark game of cat and mouse, where the question is whether or not the cat is a cat, or if the cat can even be trusted. When a grieving author (Claire Danes) finds herself with a new neighbor (Matthew Rhys), who is someone with a missing wife that he may or may not have killed, she finds herself unwittingly pulled into his world. he is clearly a narcissist, someone who values power and money, … Continue reading The Beast In Me: Season 1

Coming up this week are a ton of film premieres including Mercy (Amazon) on Sunday, Anaconda (Netflix) and Primate (Paramount) on Wednesday, and Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice (Hulu) on Friday. The jury is still out as to whether or not Bambi: The Reckoning (Peacock) will have audio description on Friday, but unless a miracle happened, Sentimental Value (Hulu) on Monday will not. In terms of series, Sunday brings the long awaited return of The Comeback (HBO) while PBS takes a swing at The Count Of MOnte Cristo. Tuesday evening willl bring us the first new episode of … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 03/21/26

I suppose it isn’t a good thing when the films I feel have the closest connection to Do Not Enter are Truth Or Dare and Tarot, two of the worst horror films of the last ten years.Considering the film takes place inside a haunted hotel,The Shining would have been a better comparison, but it has the sensibilities of a skin deep teen horror. The really scary thing is, I kinda liked it. I wasn’t just miserable like I was with Five Nights At Freddy’s 2, or bored like This Is Not A Test. I was engaged by what is ultimately … Continue reading Do Not Enter

We lost two actors in the same day. Chuck Norris, legendary action film star and famous Texas Ranger, died at 86, and Nicholas Brendan, Xander from Buffy The Vampire Slayer, died at 54.

angel Studios is working their magic, trying to loop in a solid audio description team, and bringing butts to the seats for Truth and Treason, a 2025 war drama that didn’t make a sound like freedom, but it did eek out about 6.4 million domestically, and its score was on the shortlist at the Oscars, though ultimately not nominated. Still, to be in the Top 15 scores, that’s a surprise for Angel Studios I’m sure they were pleased about since their content isn’t typically awards friendly. When I finally got around to this, I was struck. I see the faith … Continue reading Truth And Treason

A BAFTA nominee for Best British Film, Mr Burton seemed to matter a heck of a lot more to the Brits than here to us in America, despite who it is about. The film did get a UK audio description track, which I’ve heard. The domestic distributor is Samuel Goldwyn, who rarely if ever uses audio description, and I guess didn’t bother to even acquire the UK track. This is technically a 2026 title for us, as is I Swear, neither of which Oscar qualified last year. This is probably my favorite film of the year thus far. Mr Burton … Continue reading Mr Burton
