The Too Much TV Rounup- October 5th
Holy crap. Five days into the month so far? FIVE? This month has flown by. i even missed the day Aaron Samuels asked Cady what day it was. 1) What We Do In The Shadows (FX/Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Sometimes, every once in a while, I allow a non-audio described title to rise to the top of the list. And S4E9 of What We Do in The Shadows was worthy. A delightful episode called Freddie, where you know that something will be up with this titular character. But I never could have predicted this plot. Guillermo has secretly been … Continue reading The Too Much TV Rounup- October 5th
The Conjuring
Where I Watched It: HBO MAX English Audio Description?: Yes When i set out to start some Halloween reviews, I landed on The Conjuring. Not only had the franchise become wildly successful, putting out two sequels (so far), but it spun off Annabelle (which also has two sequels), and The nun (which has a sequel on the way). I figured this would be a good start, especially considering its influence, and how many films have tried to recreate this magic since. Originally, I stayed away because I presumed the film was nothing but jump scares. James Wan (Saw) has never … Continue reading The Conjuring
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 4th
Finally allowed back to work after the hurricane, so the days of having a ton of shows on this list on weekdays is now back to normal. 1) The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes I love the dynamic this season. One question I did have from how our audio description was structured, was that Luke ultimately was successful in these code violations, which led me to believe that maybe the property was a dump. There really wasn’t enough description of Serena’s property to be able to tell if the code violations were just little things, or big things. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 4th
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 3rd
It’s like Woody’s Roundup, but full of disappointment instead. 1) Paper Girls (Amazon) English Audio description?: Yes The only show that earned an A grade today. And it’s the only show (so far) that’s been cancelled on this list. Go figure. Thanks Amazon, this is why we can’t have nice things. Episode Grade: A 2) The Great North (FOX/Hulu) English Audio Description?: No I’m always hesitant to put a show that does not have audio description on top, but technically this was pretty typical Great North humor. nothing wrong, jsut not a standout episode like the premiere was. Episode Grade: … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 3rd
Hocus Pocus 2
Where I Watched It: Disney Plus Audio Description Provided By: (If you managed to understand that, you should be a code breaker for the CIA) Written By: Lindsay West Narrated By: Laura Post This is one of those things that magically happens when fans will something into existence. It’s like Zack Snyder’s Justice League, but the Disney equivalent. People have loved the Sanderson sisters for the better part of almost 30 years, despite the box office failure of that film. It has thrived, and fans even got a Hocus Pocus themed addition to Mickey’s not So Scary Halloween a few … Continue reading Hocus Pocus 2
10 Scary Titles On HBO MAX Right Now With Audio Description
It’s that time of year, and while you’ll be seeing some more reviews from me of the spooky type, both here and on my Youtube channel (YouTube.com/macthemovieguy) I know not everyone has every service. So here’s a quick look at 10 titles available on HBO MAX with audio description. Note: If it’s on this list, I’ve seen it. However, I may not have seen the title with audio description, but rather am recommending the title based on my thoughts when I could see the films. 1) Antlers Now, here is one i did watch with audio description, and a review … Continue reading 10 Scary Titles On HBO MAX Right Now With Audio Description
Hocus Pocus
Where I Watched It: Disney Plus Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Laura Post We’ve got another winner here, a laura Post audio description on a Disney classic. I’ve really come to appreciate her voice on what seems like largely Disney fare, but certainly family friendly. I think if I were a parent watching films with my kids, or a sighted parent watching a film with a blind child, I would favor Laura Post as my narrator. She’s always delightful, charming, and has a quality that works very well for these films, and I can see why Disney keeps … Continue reading Hocus Pocus
The Munsters
Where I Watched it: Netflix English Audio Description?: Yes I always had some kind of pride in the fact that i had never seen a Rob Zombie film. I like my horror movies to have plots, and his largely seem to just be gore for the sake of gore. I’ve come close to watching his Halloween, and i probably will if i ever find it streaming around October with audio description. This was a film that on paper, a lot of people were excited for, most of them being Zombie fans, I assume. Then, that trailer was released, the internet … Continue reading The Munsters
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 2nd
One of these shows had a trigger warning. Find out which one below! It’ll be a fun mystery until you get there. 1) The Sandman (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes We are getting into the meat of the show. Rose has some real power, as shown in this episode. Dream is becoming a problematic protagonist as you don’t always root for him, because his life choices are largely out of touch. So, Rose has taken over, and she’s going to get her brother back. But that seems to be a challenge, as the Corinthian has taken him to a serial … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 2nd
Blonde
Where I Watched It: Netflix Audio description Provided By: Post Haste Digital Written By William McDonaugh Narrated By: Kaitlyn Elizabeth You are going to read a lot of viewpoints out there on the internet from a dozen sources about Blonde. It will be remembered as one of the most divisive film of the year. My review might contain some spoilers, but only to refer to specific content within the film. Since Blonde was released, until my writing of this review, I’ve marinated a lot. I’ve seen reactions, and most of them have been incredibly negative, but everyone has a point. … Continue reading Blonde
I Used To Be Famous
Where I watched It: Netflix English Audio Description?: Yes Narrated By: Neville Watchhurst (?) If you ran into me on the street and i had five seconds to tell you whether or not you might like this, I would say… did you like About A Boy? Of all the films I had seen, that was the one that rang most true. I Used To Be Famous features a fallen, one time rock star trying to regain his footing, when he meets a boy on the spectrum, who is a phenomenal drummer. It’s a chance encounter, he knows nothing about the … Continue reading I Used To Be Famous
The Too Much TV Roundup- October 1st
Today I say goodbye to a show I’m certain would make my 100 list of my favorite shows of all time. We had quite a run. only three seasons, but those three were magnificent. So, of course, right on top… 1) Locke and key (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes I’m sad now. Not just because the show emotionally manipulated me with that time shift key one more time, but because this is it. The final episode. The Lockes defeated Gideon, and the only losses were a character we knew next to nothing about (RIP Gordy) and one who needed … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 1st
On The Come Up
Where I Watched it: Paramout Plus Audio Description provided By: international Digital Center Written By: Liz gutman Narrated By: Tate Keller (?) Until I posted about this film on my social media, I didn’t know it was a book. I was pretty impressed with the story as is, and somehow became less impressed when I realized it was an adaptation and not an original work. That didn’t stop me from loving this film, and going out on a limb for it here. on The Come up features a complex story about a young girl who dreams of following in her … Continue reading On The Come Up
A Jazz Man’s Blues
Where I Watched it: Netflix Audio Description Provided By: International Digital Center Written By: Liz Gutman Narrated By: Sri Gordon It’s a Tyler Perry film. For those of you who have stumbled onto this review, this website, and are hoping for me to expound upon this project in any sort of way, please remember that I am a white blind film critic. While i believe that there are themes that are universal in every film, and we should always strive to expand our horizons, and I have no problem watching films full of people who are not me (that would … Continue reading A Jazz Man’s Blues
The Too Much TV Roundup- September 30th
Heading into Halloween season, I leave September behind with a few thoughts, and some new additions to the rotation. 1) The Patient (hulu) English Audio Description Available?: Yes See how easy that was Hulu? All you needed to do to stop getting shitty scores on this show was actually add audio description so I could follow the show. in Episode 4, the tension continues to mount, as the trapped doctor tries to communicate with the next likely victim, knowing that if he can’t get a breakthrough with his serial killer patient, the guy across the hall is dead. Not only … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- September 30th
