Silo: Season 3
Silo Season 1 became a new obsession of mine the minute it dropped. I knew this was something I would want to consume as much of as humanly possible. After the second season aired, Apple announced that Silo had received a two-season renewal but would finish with its fourth season. It was a happy-sad moment because I knew I had two more seasons coming, but it also meant the series already had an end goal in sight. Once that seed has been planted, people become expendable. Instead of simply building the world around these characters, the show is now working … Continue reading Silo: Season 3
The Whisper Man
Do you know the Whisper Man? He’s nothing like the Muffin Man, so if you do know the Whisper Man, you might want to stay away. Maybe not from this film, though. The Whisper Man has sort of its own identity in that it’s not as terrible as a slew of other Netflix original titles, but it’s also not going to launch into the upper echelon of the few, the proud, the Netflix originals that make the subscription worthwhile. It’s basically a one-time-watch type of film, especially given how much it hinges upon a twist ending. Directed by James Ashcroft, … Continue reading The Whisper Man

TV Shows Watched: Silo: S3E10 (Apple) with audio description, Stuart Fails: S1E7 (HBo MAX) with audio description, Will Trent: S4E18 (Disney Plus) with audio description, St Dennis Medical: S2E17 (Peacock) with audio description, Berlin: S2E7 (Netflix) with audio description Silo- Plan to review the whole thing, but this episode does a lot, in both timelines, and answers the question about the air outside, Silo 1, and how we buried the lead on cryo. Pixel Logic did another solid track. Stuart Fails- But this show is excellent as well, and with all the timeline hopping in this one, and the variations … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/04/26

TV Shows Watched: The Shrouds: S1E1 (Disney Plus) with audio description, Tomb Raider King: S1E4 (CrunchyRoll) with audio description, Lucky: S1E6 (Apple) with audio description, Rick And Morty: S9E2 (HBO MAX) with audio description, and Oasis: S1E2 (Netflix) with audio description The Shrouds- I actually started the day thinking I’d knock this series out either in full, or in part, but it is a miserable watch, so i couldn’t do it.The Troller is just such a disgusting distraction from an 80’s piece that could actuall have something to say about sexual fluidity from the eyes of Bret Easton Ellis. Instead, … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/03/26

TV Shows Watched: Ted Lasso: S4E5 (Apple) with audio description, Elle: S1E7 (Amazon) with audio description, Black Clover: S1E3 (CrnuchyRoll) with audio description, and The Comeback: S2E6 (HBO MAX) with audio description Ted Lasso- i feel like they are trying really hard to justify Roy’s presence in the show. Other than that, it is nice to have Ted and his mostly cheery and friendly disposition back. This is still a very well written show, even if it isn’t flying as high as the first three seasons. I also like the AD here, which I can’t say about every show on … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/03/26

TV shows Watched: Lucky:S1 E1-5 (Apple) with audio description, and The Doomies: S1E1 (Disney Plus) with audio description Lucky- My newest attempt to knock out a show while busy brought me pretty damn close, since there are only 7 episodes of Lucky. But this series is a blast from start to finish if you haven’t started. A huge cast, led by Anya Taylor Joy, but also featuring Annette Bening, Timothy Olyphant, Drew Starkey, William Fichtner, Aunjuane Ellis-Taylor, and Clifton Collins Jr. Not bad at all. Pixel Logic has done some nice work on the audio description for a somewhat frenetic … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/01/26

TV Shows Watched: Lanterns: S1E3 (HBO MAX) with audio description, Black Torch: S1E1 (CrunchyRoll) with audio description, elle: S1E6 (Amazon) with audio description, American Classic: S1E8 (MGM Plus) with audio description I almost finished a fifth show, but alas, I did not. Lanterns- A fantastic flashback origin story for John Stewart, and how his family worked hard to ensure he’d be the next Green Lantern. IDC, Dakota Green, and ren Leach continue to produce good work. I liked how the guardian was described, and little details about the passage of time during John’s sniper mission. Black Torch- A fairly easy … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/31/26

Hulu has picked up Furious for another season, and The Gentleman (Netflix) is set to return for a second season in a week full of 9/11 docs, football docuseries, Dolly tributes, and box office misses The Mandalorian and Grogu (Disney Plus) and Scary Movie (Paramount), along with straight to streamer titles The Runner (Amazon) and Mayday (Apple). Plus, there’s a spinoff from Martin (I’m not kidding) featuring Tommy Davidson hitting Paramount Plus this week.

Thrilling, sure, but nonsense. The blast radius would never hit them where they are. A certain person made a big show of reinforcing how out in the middle of nowhere they basically were, due to the buying … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/28/26
Going In Blind: The Sun Never Sets
I definitely have not fully participated in the entirety of Joe Swanberg’s filmography, but the indie darling who helped push forward the mumblecore movement is back with a feature-length film that feels like one of his more accessible works. Perhaps this is a new form he has taken following opportunities like the Netflix series Easy, which ran for three seasons. Maybe dabbling in higher-profile projects with larger budgets got Swanberg moderately interested in tackling something starring Dakota Fanning, Jake Johnson, and Cory Michael Smith. Although, much like other mumblecore movies, The Sun Never Sets is a very down-to-earth slice of … Continue reading Going In Blind: The Sun Never Sets

Another one. Peter Cullen, known for voicing Optimus Prime for decades in the Transformers franchise, as well as Eeyore in Disney’s Winnie The Pooh animations, and my favorite, Monterey Jack in Chip N Dale’s Rescue Rangers. A truly gifted voice actor. yes, I grew up more on Rescue Rangers than Transformers. He was 85. TV Show Watched: Elle: S1E1,2,3 (Amazon) with audio description I had a busy day, and I stupidly tried to knock off a new series. not even close. I started Amazon’s elle, which is described by Media Access Group. Is it perfect? No. But it feels like … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/27/26

Another tragic loss. Tim Curry, whose talent blew through The Rocky Horror Picture Show and into a variety of films, from The Hunt For Red October, Clue, and Congo, to family fare like Home Alone 2: Lost In New York, Muppet Treasure Island, and his voice work in films like Ferngully, and on TV for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. he is a Tony nominated actor, he is also nominated for a Grammy, an Emmy, but sadly never an Oscar. He was chosen in 2026 by GALECA as their Timeless Star honoree (a group for which I am a member). … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/26/26

Wow. We lost a true legend yesterday. Dolly Parton.What an immensely kind, warm, gifted, generous, and humble human being. Our world isn’t just a little less bright, we lost the North Star. TV Shows watched: Survival Of The Thickest: Season 3 (Netflix) with audio description, Last Week Tonight: Most Recent (HBO MAX) no audio description yet yes, a really short diary. My work, with classes resuming, is always far more consuming at the beginning and end. I basically focused on Survival Of The Thickest, which truth be told, I had already powered through half of it before walking out the … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/25/26

Yesterday… was nuts. I’m amazed I watched anything.

Probably could have gotten that piece of info earlier. I don’t think her intro at the bar in Episode 1 described her, so it forced me into defaulting her into redneck white lady, which she apparently is not. If studios don’t want ethnic description in the AD track, … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/24/26
