Halloween Ends
Where I Watched It: Peacock Audio Description Available?: Yes It’s been a week since this thing came out. For my YouTube channel (which you can always subscribe to at YouTube.com/macthemovieguy) I recorded a spoiler and non-spoiler version of the review. This will contain spoilers, so I’ll do what I never do, and give you the grade now. Then you can read the why. Final Grade: D- Now that’s out of the way, and you’ve been warned about spoilers. I have not seen every single Halloween film, and some of them I’ve seen the edited for cable versions (this would be … Continue reading Halloween Ends
Incarnate
Where i Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description?: Yes Incarnate was one of those films critics didn’t even remotely care to address when it released in wide release a few years back. Star Aaron Eckhart couldn’t pull in people to even review his film.Basically, this film was released as an attempt to clone The Conjuring, with Eckhart’s character merging both the ability to exorcise with the ability to walk into someone’s mind. It sounds stupid, it is. The beginning of the film shows us a mother and son returning home, and some homeless lady acting sketchy. Then, suddenly, moments later … Continue reading Incarnate
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 21st
My shortest list of the week so far, but I did manage a movie, and a live theatre event. So, that’s where my time went. 5) Maggie (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes I really thought Hulu was going 10 episodes on this like they usually do, so I was surprised to see we are plowing past episode 10. It’s been a few months, and I don’t know if Hulu will stick with Maggie. They have a habit of cancelling sitcoms, or killing them on their second season (Dollface/Woke). So an episode about loss might be preparing us for inevitable cancellation. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 21st
10 Movies On Netflix With Audio Description To Scare you Silly This Halloween
If you have been following these lists, as Halloween approaches, I’ve already covered 10 Titles With Audio Description on HBo MAX, Paramount Plus, Disney Plus, Hulu, and Peacock. Now it’s time to tackle the behemoth of them all. Netflix. Per the usual rules, if it is on this list, it is a recommendation by me. I may have seen the film before losing my vision, and not have seen it with audio description yet, but all titles are listed as having audio description on our trusted Audio Description Project (ADP.ACB.org). 1) Birdbox Back just a few years ago, this Sandra … Continue reading 10 Movies On Netflix With Audio Description To Scare you Silly This Halloween
Luckiest Girl Alive
Where i Watched it: Netflix Audio Description provided By: International Digital Center Written By: Liz Gutman Narrated By: Amanda Bhutan i didn’t even realize there was a book for this, or that it was some kind of best seller. i just assumed, based on the title, and Mila Kunis, that this was the obligatory “send a girl to Europe” movie that Netflix has regurgitated several times this year. I was wrong. That ends up being a limited series instead for the month of October starring Zoe Saldana. Apparently, they’re sending girls to Europ in all forms now. Instead, this is … Continue reading Luckiest Girl Alive
Scary Stories To Tell in The Dark
Where i Watched It: Netflix Audio Description provided By: Zoo Digital Written By: Julie Winter Narrated By: Heather Foster This book, as my generation can tell you, was fucking terrifying. The book. The movie is not. I still remember some of the stories today, and I haven’t read the damn thing in probably 30 years. The girl with the ribbon around her neck, the thing on top of the dresser and the sound it made, there were some stories in here that were not meant for elementary school kids, yet that’s exactly who was reading it. At the same time, … Continue reading Scary Stories To Tell in The Dark
Father Stu
Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description?: Yes Narrated By: Andrea Breton I definitely wanted to like whatever the heck Mark Wahlberg was trying to do here, but it’s so hard to figure out what he wanted to actually do. First, much like Redeeming Love that opened in January of this year, this is a perplexingly vulgar Christian movie. And let’s be honest. That’s what this is. It’s a mainstream film about a guy who does not live the best of lives, or take religion seriously, until deep into the film he is involved in an accident that should … Continue reading Father Stu
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 20th
Six shows enter. one will make the top. This is The Round Up. 6) The Masked Singer (FOX/Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Does anyone else find it incredibly reductive for an artist like the one eliminated last night, who is a legendary singer in her own right, to be eliminated immediately? This show has always had a problem with legends, as their older voice isn’t as popping as it once was. But throw her from her prime into this competition, and she would not have gone home. In some ways, The Masked Singer can’t figure out how to keep these … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 20th
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 19th
Once again, seven shows enter the Rounup… sort of. One gets a rather interesting grade. 7) The Magpie Murders (PBS) English Audio Description?: Not for me. As I mentioned, I do occasionally check out PBS fare, and even though I’ve heard rumors that these programs have audio description, it never exists for me. That being said, aside from a lack of audio description, I can’t actually grade this show. It put me right to sleep. I maybe watched five minutes, and I was out like a light. No idea what this show is about, or who murdered the magpie, but … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 19th
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 18th
Another day, 7 shows, only 5 had audio description. Find out how far a show can go on this list without audio description. 7) Miss Scarlett and the Duke (PBS) English Audio Description?: I Did Not Have It I’ve heard rumors that PBS has audio description for some lucky people who live where I don’t, but I’ve never watched a PBS show without AD, which is why you don’t see me ranking many of them. However, this mystery series centered around a woman doing a man’s job is subversive enough that I’m interested enough to watch this with my mom, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 18th
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 17th
Seven shows entered the fray. only one gets to reach the top. Many deserve it. Who will get it? It’s probably the obvious choice. 7) The Great North (FOX/Hulu) English Audio Description: No It’s actually a pretty good sign that television was good when one of my consistent stalwarts ends up on the bottom. While this weeks episode about the family slowly losing their minds during an ice storm paid heavy homage to A Few Good Men, while also putting a heavy focus on a film I love as well, Enough Said, it was just an average episode of The … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 17th
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 16th
One show enters and leaves in the same day. I’m so backlogged on content, that it didn’t make a big enough impression to stay in my life. 9) Everything I Know About love (Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes This show centers around a group of Brits who live together and talk about their love life’s or lack thereof. The only reason I’m passing is just because this ensemble didn’t do it for me. I’ve seen this concept done, with some variety, many times over the years. Most recently, HBo MAX had The Sex lives Of College Girls, which while not … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 16th
10 Movies On Disney Plus With Audio Description To Make Your Halloween Not-So Scary
Let’s be honest. It’s Disney Plus, which is not necessarily synonymous with scary. however, the service has a surprising amount of family friendly titles to get you in the mood. However, like my previous lists, I must have seen the film for it to make the list. So titles like Zombies 3 and Don’t look under The bed sound promising, but I missed those. The ones on my list are films I’ve seen and recommend, although I might not have seen the film yet with audio description. Based on the list of titles I hadn’t seen, I’m hoping this will … Continue reading 10 Movies On Disney Plus With Audio Description To Make Your Halloween Not-So Scary
Escape The Field
Where I Watched It: Peacock English Audio Description Available?: Yes Kitchen sink. It’s not just a thing in your house. It’s a phenomenon. It’s something that Escape The Field is guilty of, but not necessarily in a bad way. This obscure horror title, depending on your life choices whose biggest star is either Shane West or Theo Rossi, decides it wants to be as many horror films as possible. So, it first starts off with six total strangers who wake up (of course, in a field). Right away, we have comparisons to past horror films where teams of strangers must … Continue reading Escape The Field
Brian and Charles
Where I Watched It: Peacock English Audio Description?: Yes Here’s a film you likely haven’t watched, and have no idea what it is. Believe it or not, but earlier this year, this was a theatrical release. This is not a straight-to-Peacock film, something that seems to be happening more and more with less content headed to theatres. This off kilter comedy features a cast of people I’m totally unfamiliar with in a unique premise. Brian is a man living by himself out in the countryside somewhere in the UK, and he likes to build things. One day, he builds Charles, … Continue reading Brian and Charles
