Enter Galactic
Where I Watched it: Netflix Audio Description Provided By: International Digital Center Written By: Dakota Green I’d be lying if I don’t still find myself coming in contact with films that even with solid audio description end up in the “Oh, I would have loved to see that” category. Kid Cudi’s animated adult romantic trip is one of those. It’s a rare adult story told from a unique perspective, and one we rarely get. Not only is it very much not for children, as the characters have sex, do drugs, and drop a lot of profanity, but it’s a hip … Continue reading Enter Galactic

Where i Watched It: Peacock Audio Description Provided By: Media Access Group Narrated By: Ingrid Tudor Can you make a film about idris Elba and two girls trapped in a car and being stalked by an insane lion scary? Well, not really, but you can make it feature length and violent. honestly, I stopped taking the film seriously when idris catches a snake lunging at him in mid air. He’s not a skilled fighter, but he snatches that shit because it looks cool. We don’t do things because they look cool, we make sure they serve the plot. Also, there … Continue reading Beast
Grimcuddy
Where I Watched It: hulu Audio Description Provided By: Point 360 Narrated By: Roy Samuelson Hulu continues its barrage of horror titles this October with a horror title about a meme gone wild that stars Shannon Sossamon. Really, that’s all you need to know. Right? Grimcuddy is a meme, a rather well described creepy as hell meme that comes to life and haunts kids that participate supposedly in its challenge. Basically, parents think their kids are cutting themselves to serve this meme, but these kids can actually see Grimcuddy. And after the attack, they are left with cuts, and the … Continue reading Grimcuddy
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 27th
After taking a day off to stand on a soap box (by the way, Paramount Plus never returned my call), we are back. With some shows. It’s what the RoundUp is for. 7) Maggie (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Damn, Episode 12 and going? Did Maggie get a full season order? Well, the last few minutes of this episode were the best, where a secret was accidentally revealed to the wrong person. The next episode should be fun. Episode Grade: B 6) The Masked Singer (FOX/Hulu) English Audio Description? no? I’ve heard that this show has audio description, but whether … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 27th
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 26th
I spent a great deal of time arguing with Paramount Plus over their audio description for their imported Showtime content. It’s something that I’ve been fighting with them over since the integration. You may not know that Showtime has made more of a commitment super recently to audio describing its shows, which means a lot of recent shows have audio description. Yellowjackets, Dexter New Blood, First Ladies, and The Man Who Fell To Earth among them. However, despite multiple phone calls, and being told that Paramount Plus values me, and they are working on a solution, I have been ignored … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 26th
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 26th
A few more shows today. Unfortunately, you won’t like my rankings. 8) Miss Scarlett and the Duke (PBS) English Audio Description?: No? It’s probably just me, but this show never has audio description, nor does anything on PBS. I’d love to know where all their audio description ends up, but that’s life. I’m starting to get to a point where my tolerance for non-described content is starting to be affected. Sure, a few shows remain at the top, and some I keep watching because they’ve been on so long that I was watching them pre-blindness, but that’s not the case … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 26th
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 24th
Only five shows today, I’m afraid. Spent the night watching a political debate. 5) The Great North (FOX) English Audio Description?: No Fortunately, even with five shows, this was a great day for TV. This is my lowest ranked episode, and it was actually quite perfect. The town wants to win a boat race, and they figure out that the hottest guy wins every year, so they carve a hot guy out of wood because no one in their town is hot enough. When this show is on point, it is on fire. Nice reference to Enough Said, as well … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 24th
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 23rd
I managed to squeeze in starting a few new series today. Sadly, not everything had audio description today. 8) Star Trek: Lower Decks (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes The comedy version of Star Trek goes just far enough to be considered comedic, but not too far to be considered mocking the Trek universe. Maybe, it needs a little send up from time to time. I’ve been watching this for a few seasons, and it’s never been at the top of my list. it’s always just kind of sat here. Barely clinging on to my increasingly hard to maintain viewership. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 23rd
10 Titles On Amazon With Audio Description To Frighten Prime Subscribers
The final streamer. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Amazon’s list at The Audio Description project (ADp.ACB.org) was included slightly under 600 titles free to prime subscribers. Since the master Amazon list has over 3,000 (we need to have a talk about that disparity, Amazon) I’m glad I didn’t have to search through over 3,000 titles. however, Amazon does have multiple genres which shortened the list, they have films I have seen and can’t recommend without having seen, and they have films I have seen but wouldn’t recommend. They’ve also prioritized a lot of D-list titles, which doesn’t help … Continue reading 10 Titles On Amazon With Audio Description To Frighten Prime Subscribers
The Night House
Where I Watched It: HBo MAX English Audio Description Provided By Deluxe Narrated By: Tanzi Alexander Among the A24 communities online where fans of the distributor talk about cinema, but mostly just back and forth about A24 films, there’s a term used for films that could be mistaken for A24. it’s debatable what this means, but the term “It’s got A24 vibes” means that, basically, it’s artistic as fuck. What worked most against this film was that a lot of people had hyped this up. I saw some critics I respect on YouTube refer to this film as terrifying, and … Continue reading The Night House

Where I Watched It: hulu English Audio Description Provided By: Descriptive Video Works I literally just click on new films released by streamers that have audio description for the sheer purpose of coming here and giving you even a passing note as to whether or not the description was good, or if the movie is even worth your precious time. I had no idea what this film was about, and I used IMDB a little bit into the film because i heard what I thought was Bradley Whitford’s voice, and that’s where I finally saw the cast list. i totally … Continue reading Rosalyn
Stillwater
Where I Watched It: Paramount Plus English Audio Description?: Yes Matt Damon stars in this odd little film about a father from Oklahoma who basically upends his life and moves to France where his daughter (Abigail Breslin) is in jail for murder. However, their system is totally different, and she’s pretty close to being able to get out. Meanwhile, she insists she’s innocent, and there’s a guy that she believes killed the victim, if only Matt Damon can find him. In the meantime, he uses his Oklahoma dialect to entrance the French population, and make a friend, even fall in … Continue reading Stillwater
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 22nd
Good golly Miss molly. I finally reached the breaking point of audio description on one of these shows. But which one? And how high did it go? Last week, with audio description it managed a first place finish. Can it do that against seven shows that all had audio description? 8) Fire Country (CBS/Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes I’m glad that CBS seems to be sticking with audio description for now with their new big hit drama. My concern now is that the show is going to do exactly what I was afraid of in the pilot, and have … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 22nd
Oscars: Top 20 Contenders For Best Supporting Actress
So, the year is shaping up. Pretty much everyone has seen every major release minus a few like Babylon, Black Panther Wakanda Forever, and Avatar: The Way Of Water. But taht’s not stopping the Oscar talk, and the 20 actresses most likely to be one of five nominations announced. If I haven’t listed them, lets just be honest and say 15 of these actresses already won’t be nominated, and these aren’t my personal choices based on who I would vote for. This is pure buzz and industry talk. 1) Michelle Williams (The Fablemans) Despite the baffling decision to run a … Continue reading Oscars: Top 20 Contenders For Best Supporting Actress
The Curse Of Bridge hollow
Where I Watched it: Netflix English Audio Description?: Yes to be honest, I’m not sure why Netflix hasn’t made more films like this, expanding its own library of Halloween themed content, and potential franchises. There are a silly amount of horror titles for adults, but less content for the whole family. So, for Netflix to set out with Marlon Wayans and make their own hocus Pocus, I’m not surprised. And it wasn’t awful. I also have to admit, I don’t know how this ends. I did fall asleep, having made this the second movie in a marathon behind a first … Continue reading The Curse Of Bridge hollow
