The Little Mermaid (2023)

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Disney Plus English Audio Description Provided By Deluxe Narrated By Michelle Deco When i was a little boy, I knew that you don’t reprimand your daughters. After all, that is Ariel’s big wish, among wanting to be part of a world that is foreign to her, and kids often look at worlds foreign to them and dream of one day being an astronaut, a superhero, a princess, or simply old enough to stay up past 8PM. The animated classic is often credited for saving Disney animation, and bringing the Disney musical into a whole new world. … Continue reading The Little Mermaid (2023)

Not a huge list of titles, but I did spend a bulk of the day at a theatre watching Oppenheimer (review coming soon). It has only fueled me even more to talk about audio description, so lets go! 9) Desperate Housewives (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended I feel like this is probably a much better show, but it is quite tough to navigate without audio description. Making an investment in a series with over 100 episodes would be nice for Hulu, and would make what is somewhat a classic TV show available to all. It’s hard for me … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 08/01/23

Well, after intense pressure, Jeopardy pushed back the Tournament Of Champions they were planning to do without their writing staff, who are currently on strike.So, good for them. I also happened to look ahead at August, which broke my heart. Why are all the best shows ending this year? Breeders, Reservation Dogs, and Archer all return for their final seasons in August. 8) American Born Chinese (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed The scene between Michelle Yeoh and Stephanie Szu was the best moment, but this show still feels so disconnected with these different storylines, and … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/25/23

We have some news finally out of comic con. In The Walking Dead Universe, The Walking Dead: Dead City and Daryl Dixon both have gotten second season pickups. Meanwhile, Amazon was able to run a promo for the upcoming second season of Invincible, and Peacock showed off the upcoming John Wick spinoff The Continental, which was originally being developed at Starz. Sadly, that last project is only 3 episodes. 11) The Full Monty (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited The thing is, this show is just one of the growing trend of baffling revivals where people are brought back … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/21/23

Your fall TV lineup from the networks looks really different. Lots of game shows, reality shows, and non-scripted programming, plus content from the international market. 9) Dinosaurs (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended I’m into the second season now. Junior ends up at his dad’s worksite. Will his dad’s boss eat him? These are the deep questions. Episode Grade: B- 8) Dave (FX) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet renewed Also forever known as the Brad Pitt episode, this episode was so bizarre, but Brad Pitt’s level of commitment to this episode made it something else. Hearing … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/15/23

Remember, we are just a few days away from SAG-AFTRA going on strike. There are people currently still working, and those people would stop. I can’t think of that many things that wouldn’t be in reruns. Take The View for example. Whoopi is definitely a SAG member. They’ve dodged the WGAA strike, but they wouldn’t be able to dodge this one. And I highly doubt she’s the only member with a SAG card, as Sarah Haynes hosts The Chase. 13) Dinosaurs (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended The only thing worse than a clip show, is a season … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 07/08/23

i did pick up some wind on the internet that hulu was dropping Alaska Daily and The Company You Keep from the service. i haven’t checked. i watched all of Alaska Daily, so it disappeared from my queue, and since i removed The Company you Keep from my watch history when I stopped watching it, it stopped being suggested to me. Like I said, unconfirmed reports. 12) The idol (MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Rumored To Be Cancelled I went into this divisive show with a clear mind. I was ready to accept whatever I’d heard people thought this … Continue reading The Too much TV Roundup- 07/02/23

Renfield

John Stark

Where I Watched It?: Peacock English Audio Description?: Yes Nicolas Cage is having the time of his life right now. After playing himself last year in the surprisingly well done The unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent, he’s getting things off his bucket list. I know I can’t talk about that other one just yet, but he’s been wanting to play Dracula forever, and he might have wanted a dramatic turn, but he wouldn’t have had something fitting of his talent. Nicolas Cage has fans because no matter how shitty the film, he is always 100% committed to the role. He’s … Continue reading Renfield

I happened to stumble on a show I’ve been checking semi-frequently on audio description, and I found out that Yellowjackets (Season 1) now has AD. this was a show I had started, but didn’t finish. I’m starting over on it. See where it landed in the rankings below. 13) The Family Stallone (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Renewed If Sly wasn’t in this, I wouldn’t watch it. There was one with some of the members of Clint Eastwood’s family a while back, and i didn’t care, because the main reason wasn’t in it. Here, this is supposedly a … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/25/23

The Bad Guys

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Peacock English Audio description Available?: Yes Provided By: Media Access Group Narrated By: Ms. Page Dreamworks Animation has been around for quite a while since entering the market as a legitimate competitor to Disney back in the 90’s. Since that time, they’ve been responsible for launching several major franchises that have delighted fans, and have sold a ton of merchandise. But the studio that Shrek built is no longer operating under Dreamworks as a distributor, but under the larger banner of the Comcast/NBC/Universal brand, where they share the same breath and airspace as illumination. Why am … Continue reading The Bad Guys
