Eyes wide Shut
Where I Watched it: HBo MAX English Audio Description?: no This is sort of cheating. I’m catching up on reviews, and i watched this on HBo MAX on what was apparently its last day. i went to the ‘Last Chance” row and picked it from there. I wanted to see, would it have audio description? nope. Eyes Wide shut is a weird one for me. Growing up, when i was a little kid, I didn’t watch R rated movies. But once I started into the double digits, certain ones started working their way in. Eventually, i basically never heard No, … Continue reading Eyes wide Shut
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: once and Always
Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description?: Yes Written By: Andrew piper So I heard Netflix was working on some Power Ranger thing. I didn’t know what that meant, and I don’t know what to tell you. I feel like I fever dreamed this and it isn’t real. I think someone Micro dosed me and I imagined this. There is no grade for this film. Much like how there’s a multiverse we talk about in films, I believe this film comes from a world where the grading scale has been elevated to emojis. Nothing makes sense. up is down. … Continue reading Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: once and Always
The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/12/23
Yesterday provided ample TV news. NBC announced their fall lineup, which included a Season 2 renewal for Lopez V Lopez, and has left its remaining sitcoms (American Auto, Young Rock, and Grand Crew) on the bubble. NBC also surprisingly revived Transplant with a 2 season order (since the series comes from Canada), and pushed LaBrea’s tiny third (and likely final) season to mid season. Meanwhile, The CW surprisingly rescued cancelled AMC drama 61st Street. I’m not sure why. I’m not sure anyone was asking for that. But this is the new CW, and by God, they will be irrelevant in … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/12/23
Ant Man
Where I Watched it: Disney Plus English Audio Description provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Helen Vasee I feel pretty confident that a Marvel movie that opened in February and was not exactly welcomed with open arms should be dropping this month. We do have Memorial Day coming up, and Disney has both Avatar 2 and Ant Man 3. if neither of them drop, then Bob Iger sucks. That’s just the answer to that equation. Wakanda Forever dropped in November, and hit Disney plus right at the top of February. Ant Man is less fantastic, and we’re already at may 12th. … Continue reading Ant Man
Ghosted
Where i Watched it: Apple Plus English Audio Description Provided By Pixel logic Narrated By Chelsea Kay This is the kind of boring derivative romantic comedy that gets shoved to streaming services nowadays. if there’s one thing that streaming has done, it’s murder the romcom genre. It’s so rare that one ever gets to go to theatres anymore, and if that one fails, it’s just used as more file to send the next ten to streaming. Just look at this year. Films starring Jennifer Lopez and josh Duhmael and Ashton Kutcher and Reese Witherspoon have all gone to streaming. Meanwhile, … Continue reading Ghosted
Judy Blume Forever
Where i Watched it: Amazon English Audio Description provided By: The Media access Group Narrated By: Shannon Stokey Well, this is currently my favorite film of the year so far, and I’m not even that big of a Judy Blume fan, but this did such a great job making me feel like I should be. The audio description, however, really could have brought a little more to the table. Judy Blume Forever features a lot of moments with the author in her own words. But it also allows for many voices to talk about either how Blume contributed to their … Continue reading Judy Blume Forever

joining the ranks of cancelled series are The Winchesters (which is being shopped to other networks and streaming services) as well as Kung Fu. Basically, The CW no longer exists. The once groundbreaking network, that started as a combination of The WB and UPN, two networks that launched hits like Dawson’s Creek, Girlfriends, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Moesha, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries, Reba, and of course Supernatural has turned into a barren wasteland. 13) Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune (ABC/hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Presumably Renewed I wanted to watch this weeks episode just because … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/11/23

FOX has given a second season to the comedy Animal Control. Also, Disney is planning on merging Hulu into Disney Plus by the end of the year, and is currently in negotiations to buy out Comcast on their remaining shares. So your kids can watch Encanto and American Horror Story in one place! I have been integrating more and more reruns into my Lineup, a trend I’m personally enjoying. I’d rather continue to expand this way than spend more time stuck in series I’m not enjoying. So, especially on this list, this will likely be the last time for some … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/10/23

Well, CBS picked up the dramas I predicted, Matlock and Elzabeth as well as the Wayans family sitcom. Also, The CW renewed Walker, but cancelled Walker independence. They are really falling apart. 9) 9) Up Here (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed Episode 4 revolves around “keeping it casual”, and I guess the more i spend with these leads, the more I’m starting to care about them? but, like barely. There was a fun song in Episode 4 where a children’s novelist sang a rather interesting musical number. i think I had been comparing this to Zoey’s … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/09/23
Scream 4
Where I Watched it: Paramount Plus English Audio Description?: No Scream 4 is kind of brilliant. It doesn’t have audio description, but I’ve been a fan of this since the beginning. Taking a leap forward in time, and bringing in a fresh cast, Scream 4 played off the rules set forth by a slew of horror remakes that came out in the 2000’s, as well as the rise of the torture porn sub genre started with Saw, and doing it all while feeling very much like a Scream movie. I’ve seen Scream 4 before several times, and since Scream 5 … Continue reading Scream 4

Well, fans of SWAT have had a very confusing past couple of days. After cancelling the hit drama on Friday, and seeing a torrent of backlash for cancelling a show that has risen in ratings every season, CBS has reversed its decision and given SWATT a 7th season renewal. That renewal comes at the expense of Freshman drama East New York, which was looking good for renewal and instead got the boot. I did hear the major contention over ENY was streaming rights, as CBS wanted all seasons available on Paramount Plus, but they only have the rights to the … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/08/23

A couple more interesting WGA Strike tidbits. The Rings Of Power was told to continue filming without it’s showrunners (who are WGA members, and on strike). So if you were concerned about the quality last season, this could either be a good or bad thing. Probably bad though. And Evil, which was finishing filming on its fourth season, ended up wrapping filming early because the strike was too disruptive. I don’t know how you end early in a positive way. I would assume that means scenes are not being shot. I would think that affects the continuity of the show. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/07/23
John Wick
Where I Watched it: peacock English Audio Description?: No hah. Hosting this film without audio description is just so pointless. I mean, the entire franchise is centered around these action sequences, and not dialogue. in fact, much has been made about just how few words Keanu Reeves actually says in the 4th installment. Look, I had the opportunity to watch this when i could see. i loved it. it’s a great revenge thriller, especially when you don’t know that it’s launching a franchise. But there just is so much action featured in this film, in this franchise, that I’m tired … Continue reading John Wick

I read an interesting news story that fans of Netflix shows have noticed that Netflix loves to cancel their product, and are now banding together to try and stop these cancellations. For example, there’s an entire subreddit devoted to Shadow and Bone where over 24K fans keep rewatching the show over and over to keep its numbers up. I wonder if just going to work, and leaving your Netflix running on Shadow and Bone couldn’t at least get you some hours in there. Also, Richard Dreyfuss did an interview where he wanted to know why he can’t play a black … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/06/23

Where I Watched it: Disney plus English Audio Description provided By: Deluxe I decided to take a second trip to Pandora since I’m convinced that The Way Of Water must be coming to Disney plus at some point. it’s already been on VOD and available for home rental and purchase for a while now. Unless they are planning a rerelease this summer (which is totally possible, since Avatar had one), I don’t see why not. I’ve always kinda of made fun of this film for drawing so many comparisons to other films, like Ferngully and Pocahontas, both that used a … Continue reading Avatar
