The Too Much TV Roundup- October 9th
A lot of shows fighting for the top. only one can have it. It was a though fight this week. 1) The Sandman (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Sandman wraps officially its 1st season (Yes, I’m still putting positive energy out into the world), and with a finale that wrapped everything up in fine form, I can see where we’ve been and the ride I enjoyed, but also see the groundwork laid for next season.Hopefully Netflix steps up and gives this a shot. Episode Grade: A, Season 1 (without the bonus episode): A- 2) The Good Fight (Paramount … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 9th
10 Titles With Audio Description On Peacock To Make Your Halloween Spooky
I’ve already covered HBo MAX and hulu. Time to see if i can muster up ten titles worth watching that are on Peacock and have audio description. As before, every film on this list I recommend on some level, but I may not have seen the film with audio description, and my recommendation comes from having seen the film years ago. As usual, my list was pulled from The Audio Description Project, which you can always access: (Http:\\adp.acb.org) 1) Beast Soon, I’ll be posting a full review, but this film which dropped on the service two days ago was in … Continue reading 10 Titles With Audio Description On Peacock To Make Your Halloween Spooky
The Conjuring: the Devil Made Me Do it
Where I Watched It: HBo MAX English Audio Description?: Yes Narrated By: Tanzi Alexander Well, this series takes a sharp decline fast. This one does not care about building any kind of suspense. I’m not even sure it sets up a potential spin-off character like the Nun or Annabelle. it just kind of prolongs the franchise, and makes a cash grab. True, the second and third entries have better audio description, because this actually understands it’s a horror film and tries to translate what is scary about something into the description. It’s just, i didn’t find this film Scary. We … Continue reading The Conjuring: the Devil Made Me Do it
DC League Of Superpets
Where I Watched It: HBo MAX Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: KG Tang Considering the fact that DC’s universe is best represented on the work they put on streaming services and even Arrowverse, it seemed rather sketchy that something about Krypto and some shelter pets fighting crime would work. Are we at a point where Krypto warrants a theatrical release? I mean, this is the same studio that bothered to shoot a Batgirl movie just to keep it locked away at Area 51. I always try to enter every single movie open minded, and this one exceeded my … Continue reading DC League Of Superpets
Blair Witch
Where I Watched It: Netflix Audio Description Provided by: Deluxe Narrated By: William michael Redmond Despite my film degree coming from the same school that the fellas who made The Blair Witch project hail from, I haven’t liked a single film in this franchise. This remake/sequel didn’t do anything to change that. The original, which caused motion sickness and a wave of found footage films, was all the rage back in the day. but there’s only just so much you can do with piles of rocks and some sticks to make this actually scary. The sequel was a mess, which … Continue reading Blair Witch
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 8th
It’s Saturday, which usually means I got a lot knocked off. 1) Solar Opposites (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes When pupa starts misbehaving and turns into a bratty teenager, the opposites had to figure out what the cause of all this was. But really, the inspired choice of a real life game of Hungry Hungry Hippos was the top of this. episode Grade: A 2) The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes The Ducks continue to work out at this summer training camp in episodes released in October, which seems weird timing, but whatever. We find … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 8th
Minions: The Rise Of GRU
Where I Watched It: Peacock English Audio Description?: Yes Sadly, Peacock doesn’t want you to watch credits. I was really hopeful that I would get to the audio description info since the Minions were dancing through part of the credits, but as soon as that was over, I got ripped into something else. My rankings, not including this, are: Despicable Me, Despicable me 2, Minions, Despicable Me 3. in many ways, this film is more of a Despicable Me film, a prequel of sorts, than a true Minions spinoff. While it does feature the minions in their antics, they are … Continue reading Minions: The Rise Of GRU
Let Me in
Where I Watched It: Netflix Audio Description Provided By: Zoo Digital Written By: John Gray Narrated By: Roy Samuelson Admittedly, I could have seen this film visually. I remember critics enjoyed it, and Matt Reeves is a very talented director who has given us several amazing films, including The Batman earlier this year. But, I passed on this, not because I passed on gore, but because the original, the foreign language Let The Right One in, is perfect, and actually my favorite foreign language title of all time. I didn’t need a remake. If Martin Scorsese remade The Godfather, I’m … Continue reading Let Me in
Hot Take: The johnny Depp/Amber Heard Trial
Where I Watched This: Tubi English Audio Description?: No. Tubi doesn’t love us. When i saw this listed casually among new releases, like it wanted to be considered against things like hocus Pocus 2, I figured Tubi knew what they were doing, and jumped on this train to try and… No. That’s bullshit. I clicked on this film figuring it would be trashy garbage. There isn’t a single person on the cast list I’m even remotely familiar with, and all of them could use acting lessons. The most painful aspect wasn’t the lack of audio description, it was this guy … Continue reading Hot Take: The johnny Depp/Amber Heard Trial
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 7th
Just another day sliding through episodes of TV shows. 1) The Rings Of power (Amazon) English Audio Description?: Yes in the 6th episode, we focused primarily on one topic, which meant we didn’t even visit certain storylines. The refugees were about to go into battle with the orcs, who are being led by an Elf that has felt the dark side. It’s a pretty action packed hour of television, that eventually results in the merging of two groups, meaning less hopping around in the future. Hopefully. Episode Grade: A 2) Five Days At Memorial (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 7th
My Best Friend’s Exorcism
Where I Watched it: Amazon English Audio Description Available?: Yes I had no idea this was an adaptation until I watched a review from another critic I subscribe to, and he addressed a lot about how faithful it was and all that. look, i didn’t read the book. I didn’t even know there was one, so if you’ve come here for that level of enlightenment, I can’t give that to you. Not that it really matters, because if this was a faithful adaptation, then your book sucks. This film, directed by Damon Thomas, quite frankly has no identity. It has … Continue reading My Best Friend’s Exorcism
The Conjuring 2
Where I Watched It: HBo MAX Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Tanzi Alexander Well, I’m making my way through this franchise. Finally. Halloween gives me the opportunity to catch up on horror titles i either avoided or missed. After being pleasantly surprised with the direction James Wan went with the first Conjuring film, I figured I was in store for more of the same. Not really. The first film worked so well because no one really knew what to be ready for, or what was ahead. He held the audiences anticipation, making you wait almost uncomfortably long for … Continue reading The Conjuring 2
10 Titles With Audio Description On hulu To Make Your Halloween Spooky
Just like the HBo MAX list I made last week, this list is pulled from the current list on the audio description project (ADp.acb.org), and are titles I have seen. I may not have seen all of these titles yet with audio description, but I am not recommending anything I haven’t seen. I figured since Hellraiser drops today, hulu seems like a logical choice. It is not on this list, because I have not watched it yet. 1) Fresh Sebastian Stan gives a rather delicious performance in this film that revolves around a topic that sometimes we don’t like to … Continue reading 10 Titles With Audio Description On hulu To Make Your Halloween Spooky
The Greatest Beer Run Ever
Where I Watched It: Apple Plus Audio Description Provided by: PixelLogic Narrated By: laura Post Peter Farrelly is experiencing this moment where he can split from being a Farrelly Brother and show his range at dramatic interpretations of real life stories. Of course, he successfully landed in the history books when he directed Best Picture winner Green Book. Although that film faced a lot of backlash for it’s white savior story arc, I’m proudly reporting that we once again have a white savior.. he’s just not specifically trapped in a story about race. Zac Efron is that savior, a New … Continue reading The Greatest Beer Run Ever
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 6th
I hard a really great day overall full of solid television, and I’m here to sing some universal praises. 1) Trying (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes The third season finale of Trying did everything it needed to do. It melted cold hearts everywhere. Seeing this family on their journey over the last three seasons has been great, and on the offside chance we never hear from them again, this season finale could satisfy as a series finale. it was so cute, so adorable, it made you root for characters you loved already even more than you thought could be … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 6th
