Yesterday, I started doing a little side project that I think will hopefully bring more awareness. But, hopefully a catalyst for something more. Also, coming up this week are the streaming premiers of A Real pain (Hulu), Unstoppable (Amazon), and A Different Man (MAX). Of the returning shows, Severance (Apple Plus), Harley Quinn (MAX), and XO Kitty (Netflix) leapt out at me.

Just a quick musing. I watched one of the shows below on a service I still subscribe to “with ads”, and one of the ads was a preview for a movie coming out fairly soon. It’s a horror movie, and based on the preview, I really hope it’s called “Daddy”. But, because the trailer did not have audio description, and the movie voice guy never said the title of the film, I have no idea what to anticipate or not anticipate. And it made me think of how this is the norm, and basically, we’re left to our own devices … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 01/10/25

SAG and DGA nominations yesterday! Even in the midst of the LA Wildfires that have destroyed over a thousand structures, including the homes of many celebrities. James Woods, notably, trended yesterday as CNN got him on to talk about the loss of his home, which brought him to tears. Mark Hamill talked about fleeing his home, and how there was fire on either side of the road on the way out. So, thoughts and prayers to everyone in the LA area. no snarky comments. And a congratulations to everyone nominated yesterday. Notably, Pamela Anderson, who is now both a Golden … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 01/08/25

One more show today than last, but before I jump on in, I’d like to point out the uniqueness of one of the titles. You might notice something here that previously did not have audio description. I have started into From, which is an MGM Plus original, and it did not used to have AD, but has added audio description. HOWEVER. Remember, the *ONLY* way to get the MGM Plus audio description for shows like From and Earth Abides, unfortunately, is to do so by having MGM Plus as a Prime Channel Add-On to your existing Prime subscription. And now, … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 01/07/25

Well, I went back to work. So, at least at the beginning of each semester, the amount i consume drops precipitously. This should definitely be interesting, to say the least. TV Shows Watched: Bookie: S2E5 (MAX) with audio description, Tiny Toons Looniversity (S2E1) with audio description, A Man On The Inside: S1E8 (Netflix) with audio description Movies Watched: Inside Out 2 (Disney plus) with audio description. I’ve already seen and reviewed the movie, but I took a really scattered day full of stopping and starting things to get through a film i saw that my theatre was having reception problems … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries- 01/06/25
