I shook up my Wednesday a bit. i usually watch Will Trent/High potential. but, I decided to see what would happen if I pushed those to Thursday. Would they then have audio description? We’ll find out… in tomrorrow’s diary.
TV Shows Watched: Skeleton Crew: S1E8 (Disney plus) with audio description, Goosebumps: S1E4 (Disney Plus) with audio description, On Call: S1E6 (Amazon) with audio description, and Going Dutch: S1E2 (Hulu) no audio description
YouTube: The Oscar Expert (BAFTA Nomination Reactions)
Best Episode: Skeleton Crew- A nice ending to the season, that closes the door enough just in case Disney doesn’t do a second season, without closing it completely.
Best Performance: Jude Law (Skeleton Crew)- In my final opportunity to single him out, he really was quite terrific on Skeleton Crew. In the end, he doesn’t seem to ever rebound from being a villain, but there’s possibly more to be told. We shall see. He had a lot of levels this season, and Episode 8 was perhaps some of his darkest work.
Best Audio Description: Goosbumps- This show is still killing it. I also love that I’m being introduced to a fresh new narrator, who I love. Fantastic work. Lots to describe, and it is being done very well.
Best Moment Of Audio Description- on Call- I literally es saved the writer when I heard it. It was a very simple moment, but very poetic, and painted a picture for us. It was something close to “Jen’s dirt covered face is partially lit by ambient light.” I was like, damn. That’s the shit right there. There aren’t any monsters or space aliens here, but On call finds ways of making a really basic cop drama feel like it is just as complex. I loved it.
Worst Of…? Nope. I wish going Dutch had audio description on Hulu. So, I guess that wins. But, I stand by what I said when I saw the pilot. Next to St. Dennis medical, it is the second best new network sitcom this fall.
Hi John,
This is Ailana Kainoa, the AD narrator for Goosebumps. Thank you so much for your review. I’m glad to hear you are enjoying this show. I used to go by the name Sophia Cruz prior to 2024. I’ve done many features on Disney+ over the years along with other streaming services. Thank you for watching and again thank you for your kind words.
Ailana
Thank you so much. I hope to hear your voice again soon. I enjoyed the second season more than the first, and loved that both the show,and the audio description leaned more into the horror realm. I appreciate you, and thanks for stopping by and saying Hi.
