Already behind me this season are Hulu, Disney Plus, Peacock, and MAX. The Mountain is up next, and the question is… do they deliver an avalanche of horror? 2) A Quiet Place The Mountain is home right now to all three films in this series, but I prefer the OG. Directed by John Krasinski, this horror/thriller with deadly aliens murdering everything that makes sound is so well directed. You forget it is directed by Jim from The Office. The performances here are also really strong for a genre nomination, and while her first Oscar nomination was for Oppenheimer, would anyone … Continue reading Spooky Season: 10 Movies On Paramount Plus With Audio Description For A Fright

Thanks to all that reached out. All things considered, I’m very blessed. I didn’t sleep Wednesday night, as this hurricane was pretty intense. 3.2 million people are without power rights now, so the fact that I have power, I am very blessed. that being said, I had a hard time staying awake yesterday.

Well, I’m awake. I don’t normally push out the Small Screen Diaries a little after midnight, but I’m in the middle of a hurricane, I can’t sleep, and the news keeps telling me I’ll lose power. So, let’s go ahead and knock this out. I did doze off for about an hour. Can I make it on an hour of sleep? We will find out, won’t we? However, the rules still apply tomorrow. I don’t know what my situation will be regarding electricity/internet, and as such, I cannot promise tomorrow. So if I miss a diary, I’m not dead, I … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: Milton Edition- 10/09/24

Just a little reminder up at the top, once again, I do live in the path of yet another hurricane.

TV News: Netflix informed me that shortly after my post asking my readers to listen to It’s What’s inside with audio description, the viewership numbers just went through the roof. I know all of you did that, and I’m sure everyone is just flabbergasted by the particular verbosity of that audio description script, and are now in a deep meditation. Plus, I didn’t have any real news.

TV News: Earlier, Amazon announced that this upcoming season of Bosch Legacy would be its last, and now they’ve also scrapped plans for a spinoff.Totally getting out of the Bosch game at the weirdest time.

TV News: I’m pleased as punch to report that tonight’s episode of Saturday Night Live will air with Audio Description Live. Interestingly, the audio description is not performed by an equally capable group of comedic improv performers, but rather highly skilled audio description professionals. For those of us who fight every day for audio description to be added to our favorite shows, like the gang trying to get audio description on Gilmore Girls, just remember. It only took 50 years for SNL to add audio description. So, keep up the fight. Just… it may take a while. TV Shows Watched: … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 09/27/24
