John Stark

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Kicking off the Small Screen Diaries is the acknowledgment that, yes, I am aware Apple is currently pursuing negotiations for a third season of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. However, what they’re apparently looking at is essentially a soft reboot, with a new showrunner and a new cast. It seems Apple wants to take the series in a different direction without abandoning its connection to the Godzilla and Kong franchise, which inherently comes with an audience. They just have to figure out how to attract that audience with different characters and a different approach. I kind of agree. I … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 10/30/26

John Stark

On Sundays, I like to kick off the Small Screen Diaries with a look ahead at the week in television, highlighting some shows that might be of interest to you. These aren’t necessarily shows I’m going to tackle all at once, because, my God, am I watching a lot of random television programs. But there’s plenty coming this week, including ABC bringing back its Thursday night lineup of 9-1-1, 9-1-1: Nashville, and Grey’s Anatomy. FX has the second season of Ethan Hawke’s The Lowdown arriving Wednesday, while the fourth season of Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head lands on Comedy Central, … Continue reading The Small Screen diaries: 10/10/26

Theatre Camp

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Hulu English Audio Description?: No Sadly, Hulu (majority owned Disney), was unable to prioritize securing the audio description track for Theatre Camp, a Fox Searchlight release (also, Disney). If the red tape is so thick internally, what hope do the rest of us have? We might as well just give up now. if it’s too complicated for Disney to transfer audio description to Disney, then we’re all fucked. The majority of critics ignore their own bias, but I’m pretty up front about mine all the time. Going into this, I realized the movie was about music … Continue reading Theatre Camp
