The Too Much TV Roundup- December 23rd
6 shows and two movies. it’s like an overachieving Community fan goal. 6) Rami (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes First, it was nice to see Rami in his own show. My favorite scene was when they were with the guy who had four wives, and you think it’s going to be this completely different thing, but we meet this strong woman who is this guy’s first wife, and her limited screentime was awesome. Talk about not holding back on giving out advice. Oddly enough, probably either my favorite or second favorite of the season, and it still landed in last … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 23rd
Marcel The Shell With Shoes On
Where I Watched it: iTunes English Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated by: laura Post Before you read a review of me gushing over this film, you need to know that i did not understand this Marcel The Shell stuff before. Then, when it got a feature film, I rolled my eyes. I thought it was the equivalent of giving Grumpy Cat his own film. I am pleasantly wrong. What Jenny Slate created with Marcel is almost the purest form of a being, someone who seeks rather simple means of happiness, and for a shell, is about as relatable a … Continue reading Marcel The Shell With Shoes On
Snow Day (2022)
Where I Watched it: Paramount Plus English Audio Description?: Yes The fact that i hve to specify which version of Snow Day this is makes me sad. The fact this film exists, that someone thought Snow Day was iconic enough to remake make me sad. I remember Snow Day, starring a young Mark Webber, and whatever the hell nickelodeon thinks this is… is not that. That film at least tried to pretend adults might be or could be interested, by roping in Chevy Chase, but this one just ignores adults, and really teenagers. on top of that, it tries to … Continue reading Snow Day (2022)
The Too Much TV Roundup- December 22nd
This one is getting a bit closer. no total duds. 6) The Mysterious Benedict Society (Disney plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Hilarious that Rainey can just speak another language like that, Tony Hale is obviously living his best life, and I think Ryan hurst’s character was stronger when he wasn’t talking. Not that Ryan isn’t a great actor, but it’s weird that he talks now. Episode Grade: B 5) Unsolved Mysteries (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Now, this one really highlights why certain departments out there should be defunded. Like, in this case, it’s not even the polices response or … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 22nd
Nanny
Where I Watched It: Amazon English Audio Description provided By: Media Access Group Narrated By: Brianna Lyonne I swear, marketing teams are the worst. I’m sure the director of nanny was super excited to be picked up by Blumhouse, but the fact that this is being marketed as a horror is so unfortunate. it sets people up for a film thinking there are some jump scares waiting, or some gore, or ghosts, or something freaky, and that’s not what this is. This is something totally different. But, to really discuss what that is, to a point, also might ruin the … Continue reading Nanny
The Too Much TV Roundup- December 21st
I always like to point out how many films I watched in addition, and today I knocked out 3 movies along with these episodes. 7) The Devil’s Hour (Amazon) English Audio Description?: Yes I just don’t feel like this show entirely knows what it wants to be. Like, some of it is unintentionally funny. To me, there’s something very odd about a dude sitting around listening to One Fine Day while vaping. Then i think about how the show is supposed to be about these unexplainable things happening to this boy, but it veers off from that often, not just … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 21st
It’s A Wonderful Binge
Where I Watched It: hulu English Audio Description Provided By: Pointe 360 Narrated By: Roy Samuelson Many moons ago, Nostradamus predicted that two children of the devil would be born, and unto the world, they would completely miss the boat on how to make parody/spoof films, and thus their reign of terror would result in a series of films that are universally despised. This includes everything from the aptly titled Date movie and Epic Movie to Meet The Spartans and The Hungover Games. If you told me they directed this, i would not be shocked. This film, which shockingly features … Continue reading It’s A Wonderful Binge
Black Adam
Where I Watched It: HBo MAX English Audio Description provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: William Michael Redmond I could use this entire time to just talk about whatever the heck is going on at the DC branch of Warner Bros. Discovery. But, that’s like choosing a graduate thesis at this point, and having to break down how Everytime the company is supposed to turn right, they turn and run away. Truthfully, i wish the best for james Gunn, but I think it will go about as well as it did for Zack Snyder. When everything in the DC Universe resembled … Continue reading Black Adam
The Too Much TV Roundup- December 20th
Seven shows, two movies. a solid day. I’m using this Christmas break productively, obviously. 7) Tell Me Lies (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes It looks like lucy has had just enough oh of being a booty call, just like I’ve had enough of this series taking forever to get back to the initial mystery of the pilot. I’ve spent far too long watching college kids fucking at this point, in a pointless show. When i hear audio description about a guy, who is already in a standing position, removing his condom… I wonder… how was that shot? Did we see … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 20th
Something From Tiffany’s
Where I Watched It: Amazon English Audio Description Provided By: The Media Access Group Narrated By: Sylvia Zamora Not to be outdone by rival streamers, Amazon is very much all about creating its own Christmas romcoms. Honestly, with the way that Hallmark and Lifetime have been doing this for years, these streamers are really going to need to step up their game if they want to beat those two in this business. But, this film also reminds me of movies that actually used to make theatrical runs in this genre, and i wonder if they ever will again. People look … Continue reading Something From Tiffany’s
The Too Much TV Roundup- December 19th
no major news to talk about yesterday. It was just like, nothing happened on TV. So weird. Very quiet, no news sort of day. Oh… there was that one thing…. Anyway, here’s the list of my indictments, I mean, the shows I watched yesterday. 7) Wedding Season (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No I keep randomly checking in on this show, because it’s so representative of the zero fucks hulu gives about audio description. this show debuted in September. It is actually billed as a hulu original. not FX on hulu. Just a straight up hulu original, for which they are … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 19th
Bodies, Bodies, Bodies
Where I Watched It: iTunes (VOD) English Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: William michael Redmond I admit that I’m late to a party about a film about a party, but I have gotten to see how divisive this film is, at least among the movies fans with internet connections. It seems to be a love or hate movie, and for various reasons. Some people feel betrayed, some people wanted something else, some people thought it was something else. I never saw a preview for this film, so I’m not really sure what was marketed, and why people felt … Continue reading Bodies, Bodies, Bodies
Christmas With The Campbells
Where i Watched It: AMC Plus English Audio Description?: No What’s the point of me having an AMC Plus subscription if I don’t occasionally review their content with the reminder of how nice it would be to have audio description. I will admit, this is not some revolutionary film with tons of visual work, so a lot of the jokes were easy to follow. Honestly, the concept about being dumped right before Christmas and then still spending the holiday with your ex-boyfriend’s family, because he’s too self involved to care, is a winning concept. It certainly set up Brittany Snow … Continue reading Christmas With The Campbells
The Too Much TV Roundup- December 18th
I watched four movies today. So, naturally, if this list seems small, that could be why. 5) unsolved Mysteries (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes The third episode from the new season was just a missing child episode, focusing on the frequency that kids are taken by a parent during a divorce and never seen or heard from again. The main case we start with explores a woman whose husband essentially moved to a country where kidnapping doesn’t exist, and the father would have the right to custody anyway. So, not much can be done, and she hasn’t heard from her … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- December 18th
Bullet Train
Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description Available?: yes i remember the unknown I had going into Snowpiercer. it was this film that wasn’t billed as a wide release, from a well-respected foreign director, and it felt like i was part of the beginning of something amazing. i still think Snowpiercer is a terrific film, easily one of my favorites, with an absolute bonkers performance from Tilda Swinton. TNT had to go and ruin the concept by spreading it over a TV show which is fine, but very much not the same quality. When I heard Bullet Train announced, … Continue reading Bullet Train
