Sean Baker’s Best Picture winning film deserves its own post. The winner of five Oscars, and the reward for perseverance from Neon, is a loud, brave, boisterous representation of a dream realized, and seeing the potential for that very dream to slip away. Initially, neon provided me a screener for this without audio description, so I was able to glean something in time to vote. later, i ended up owning a digital copy with audio description, because Baker is an auteur. Whether he likes it or not, there’s something in the connective tissue of his works, where he elevates the … Continue reading Anora

River Of Grass (2025)- Shows Deep Affection For The Everglades While almost every single day I eat, sleep, and breathe audio description and accessibility, there are times when I feel compelled by the subject matter, or a specific person being involved, and I’m aware the project doesn’t have audio description.

Already in 2025, I reviewed Time Passages, which is a filmmaker putting his family dynamics on screen … Continue reading Without Arrows

Trinity (2025)- Impossible To Not Be Shocked And Moved By This Documentary A new documentary is coming to video on demand services on Tuesday, and I got a sneak peek. Trinity is another slap you in the face account of how we continued random atrocities even in the modern age. It jumps off on the assumption that you believed the story that the area we tested the atomic bomb in was uninhabited. Well, as one might assume, we fucked that one up. Of course, there were considerations and variables about the lasting effect of radiation, and how far the wind … Continue reading Trinity

Bonus Track (2025)- Well This Was A Pleasant Surprise One of the best things about having the ear of any audience at all is being able to talk about the little things I love, that perhaps would go unrecognized. it is why I unabashedly just put out my list of the Best Films of 2024, and my top spot isn’t even nominated for an Oscar. I went with Ghostlight, because it impacted me. Bobby Cannavale (Ezra) was my pick for Best Actor, and he didn’t come close to a list. I still had many choices that aligned, because a good … Continue reading Bonus Track
