Going In Blind: Trans In Trumpland
Director: Tony Zosherafatain Release Year: 2025 There Is no Known Audio Description For This Title What Is It? That’s a great question. What is this? It first came to my attention while perusing upcoming VOD titles on the Apple Store. I like to add things to my watchlist I intend on watching. I don’t get around to all, but this seemed up my alley. when it was made available, my watchlist listed it as being on Amazon Prime video with my subscription. Great. I went to Prime video, which also had the film billed as a movie, not broken into … Continue reading Going In Blind: Trans In Trumpland

I’ve never seen such a spoiler laden thing in my life. It’s ridiculous. it is one of those “this season on The runarounds”, but everything they showed had a far different tone than the … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/02/25

The Best Of 2025 So Far: September Edition
I’m hoping the lull coming from the studios has to do with the fall festivals, because I really haven’t gotten much. And when I do email a studio rep, i just get ignored. I was sent a collection from IFC, which would have been an excellent opportunity for me to try and get existing audio description for some titles where I initially didn’t, but instead I got flat out ghosted. I’ve tried preemptively reaching out to reps for some studios about accessibility, ahead of eventual screeners, and crickets. Still, I’ve seen over 250 films so far, so here’s what I’ve … Continue reading The Best Of 2025 So Far: September Edition

Fall For Me
I’m sure there’s some minimum word count I should be giving to each review, but even a week later, and I can’t stop thinking about this random soft core Skinemax knockoff that Netflix just quietly slipped onto their service. I knew it wasn’t Shakespeare. The audio description isn’t great, as it fails to translate any subtitles, but there’s a sex scene that starts almost immediately with dripping a blood orange’s juice onto the stomach of the female participant. this character, specific enough to indulge in blood oranges, has a closet full of only black t-shirts and white t-shirts. It is … Continue reading Fall For Me
