Flora and Son
Where I Watched it: Apple Plus English Audio Description?: Yes I would like to first state that John Carney clearly is beating us over the head with the power of music. I’d love to see him direct an honest to God musical, in the most truest sense instead of these films about musicians playing music that matters. I really wonder if his love of music could resonate in a musical adaptation of something headed to the big screen. Perhaps Spring Awakening would be up his alley? Flora and Son is my least favorite John Carney film, but for the guy … Continue reading Flora and Son

Your TV news for the day is that the upcoming 3rd season of Vikings: Valhalla will be its last. 11) The Continental (Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited Thank God this is behind me. I was so over this show. Mel Gibson really gave his all to an unredeemable villain, but as far as the rest goes, this feels nothing like the franchise from which it was adapted. it has so much dialogue, it almost feels like a more violent TV adaptation of oceans 11. Final Grade: C- 10) Trophy Wife (hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended The … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/07/23
10 Spooky Movies On MAX For Your halloween
My second streaming service to get the treatment this year. I did Peacock last weekend, and now MAX. I plan on trying to fill the list with films that have audio description, but if i can’t hit 10 titles, I will fill in at the end, with some great movies that don’t have audio description but probably should. Just because I didn’t list it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. There are films on the service that would qualify that I haven’t seen (still waiting for HBO to put audio description on the first Annabelle before i watch the sequels), as … Continue reading 10 Spooky Movies On MAX For Your halloween
Cassandro
Where I Watched It: Amazon English Audio Description provided By: Media Access Group Narrated By: Brianna Leon I’m not a wrestling guy. I can name the wrestlers who have crossed over into film, but beyond that, I don’t watch any wrestling. That also goes for the Luchadors. I barely understand conceptually what the WWE is going for, and the extent of my knowledge of these masked Mexican wrestlers is limited to Nacho Libre. So, perhaps the biopic about a Mexican icon wasn’t aimed at me. It’s quite possible I slid into the wrong film. But, one thing seems to always … Continue reading Cassandro
Teenage Mutant ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
Where I Watched it: Paramount plus English Audio Description?: Yes Last year, Netflix dropped Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. i grew up with these Turtles. Big time. My mom took me to a convention where I got a graphic novel signed by Eastman and laird. I had the Turtle Van, as well as well as the Sewer set. I had all the turtles, and actually even multiple versions, as well as all the major supporting players, and other mutants. I loved watching the cartoon, and had some VHS tapes. And I definitely saw all three of those original … Continue reading Teenage Mutant ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/06/23
I don’t know how I missed the drama, but Starz apparently cancelled Heels, and almost immediately removed the show from its service. There was a notable campaign on Twitter to shame Starz for cancelling the series. honestly, with Outlander in its final season, if they don’t start figuring out their programming, they’ll be the Power network, and it’ll be hard to get people attracted to new shows who aren’t watching Power spinoffs. 11) Justified (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended People get shot at in this episode, and it’s tough to figure out who and when, since there’s no … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/06/23
Spy Kids: Armageddon
Where I Watched it: Netflix English Audio Description Provided By: XTrax Written By Mary Morrison Narrated By: Gloria Deleon For the record, I wasn’t a kid for the first Spy Kids film. So, this isn’t a case of anyone feeling like their childhood can’t be messed with, remade, or rebooted. And in the same year with Hypnotic, we already have seen a Robert Rodriguez joint this year, and the state of Troublemaker is clearly not great. He’s now remaking his own franchise, but for Netflix, with no intention of a theatrical release. Aside from the kids, the cast that has … Continue reading Spy Kids: Armageddon
No One Will Save You
Where I Watched it: Hulu English Audio Description Provided By: Descriptive Video Works Narrated By: Arran Henn Written By: Jeff Heck (I wrote the review first, and was provided the name of the writer after the review was posted, and I wanted to give credit.) It’s a shame that I can’t credit the writer of this audio description, since it basically is the core experience any blind or visually impaired user would encounter. Sure, Erin provides a rather fantastic voice for the piece, but it’s the written script and how detailed it is that makes or breaks a film with … Continue reading No One Will Save You
The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/05/23
Looks like iCarly is going away again as paramount Plus has axed the reboot after 3 seasons. Since this was a Nickelodeon show (which is a Paramount station), the chances of this moving anywhere are non existent. 8) Adventure Time (MAX) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended I think perhaps I would have preferred audio description so i could follow the episode. I think I realized when they wer talking to a watermelon that I have not fully grasped this show yet. Episode Grade: B- 7) The Masked Singer (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Unknown I would like audio … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/05/23

Tubi really does have some deep cuts in terms of shows they have that are no longer on the air. Check out what I found in the rankings below. 8) Name That Tune (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Not Yet Renewed Megan Hilty! That’s really all I needed. I wish the show skewed in her favor, and she had to guess something like Secondhand White Baby Grand from Smash. It didn’t happen. Episode Grade: B 7) 911 (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Moved To ABC This episode, S4E2, featured a catastrophe that kinda needed audio description, but once … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/04/23
The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/03/23
Good news! Hulu has picked up only Murders in The Building for a fourth season. Maybe Chevy Chase will get taht Three Amigos reunion he’s been clamoring for. 7) The Irrational (Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed I get to free up my schedule by a show now. Two episodes. That was enough for me to tell this procedural can’t escape the been there done that feel of all other shows that came before it, where some smart person consults with police. After years of The Mentalist, lie To Me, unforgettable, and many others, there is nothing … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/03/23
The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/02/23
SAG-AFTRA is now in the negotiation phase. My great hope for them is that they shut the AI shit down entirely. With there being a dental commercial where AI ripped off Tom Hank’s voice, and another thing using Robin Williams, enough is enough. 9) Krapopolis (FOX) English Audio Description?: No Status: Unknown Dan Harmon’s odd show isn’t winning me over. The voice cast is talented, but so recognizable it just makes me think of the better shows these people came from. There’s no way I don’t hear Matt Barry and think Lazlo. Episode Grade: B- 8) Chip and Dale’s Rescue … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/02/23
The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/01/23
The talk shows are back! Last Week Tonight was new last night, and your network all-stars come back today. 14) Daryl Dixon (AMC Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Renewed I think this might have been the most French in an episode so far, and I barely got anything out of this. I know Daryl tortured someone, they lost the boy, but the boy ended back with his father that runs a nightclub in the catacombs. So, as natural as it is for AMC Plus to continue to not run this show with accessibility, I am giving this the same … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/01/23
10 Peacock Titles To Make Your Halloween Spooky
Just like last year, I’m compiling a list of films across the streaming services that I recommend this Spooky Season. I will also be watching and reviewing some new films. It’s possible that some titles are repeated from last year, as some titles are exclusive to streaming services. Today, I’m starting with peacock, which is universal’s streaming service, but has a disturbingly low amount of Universal titles available with audio description. My goal is to recommend films with audio description, and if I can get 10 good films all with AD on a service, I won’t need filler. However, some … Continue reading 10 Peacock Titles To Make Your Halloween Spooky
The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/30/23
Welcome to Spooky Season, where I will be stepping up your coverage of the scariest and spookiest films to watch this season. But for today, it’s just a regular old roundup. 14) The Continental (Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited From the minds of people who never watched the original John Wick franchise comes a boring show with little to no action sequences and more dialogue in one episode than in the entire John Wick universe. I hate this show. Episode Grade: D+ 13) The Summer I Turned Pretty (Amazon) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Renewed I’m not really … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/30/23
