Love Again

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description By Media Solutions Written By Andrea Breton Were you a big fan of you’ve Got Mail, or perhaps even The Shop Around The Corner? Did you ever sit around and say to yourself “this is too happy, I wish it were depressing.” Congrats, cause you won. They figured it out. It’s You’ve Got Mail, but sad. Priyanka Chopra Jonas plays a lovely children’s book illustrator who is enjoying lunch with her fiancé, when he walks outside and is Meet Joe Black’d in front of her. She takes some time for herself, while … Continue reading Love Again

I apparently need to binge Virgin River, because the internet can’t stop spoiling it for me. it’s been out for 3 days and has ten episodes. Everyone calm down. I know far too much about a season I haven’t watched yet. 11) Hey Dude (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended I’m just surprised this is available, but it could use audio description. They do head out onto paths. I’m not sure if this was on location or on set, but I’ll guess on location just to allow the horses the freedom to go somewhere. But, Buddy hates living … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/09/23

Hypnotic

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Peacock English Audio Description?: Yes I think Robert Rodriguez has spent the last 13 years working toward trying to make his own inception. The once iconic director has lost a lot of luster recently, which is made very clear by the middling attention Hypnotic received, and the fact that he’s now remaking his own franchise with a new Spy Kids movie at Netflix later this month. We open on a detective (Affleck), who is in the middle of a therapy session. It seems to go well, and he leaves and meets up with his partner (JD … Continue reading Hypnotic

A Good Person

John Stark

Where I Watched It: MGM Plus English Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated by: Leslie S. There’s a good film buried in A Good Person, which is the latest effort from Zach Braff. I was able to see that thanks to MGM Plus starting to offer a limited amount of titles with audio description. It’s always nice to see another streaming service move into the audio description community. A Good Person revolves around a young woman (Florence Pugh), whose life is thrown into total hell after a car accident that kills her best friend and her best friend’s fiancé. A … Continue reading A Good Person

Big George Foreman

John Stark

Where i Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description?: Yes Narrated By: Elaine Joseph 2023 already had one solid boxing film with Creed 3. Having something like that in mind, fresh, going into Big George Foreman does not help this poorly directed biopic at all. George Tillman Jr has managed some interesting films in the past, like The Hate You Give, but I really don’t know how this film is this bad. George Foreman once again is beaten by Ali, who had a much more successful and higher quality biopic starring Will Smith, who went on to earn an Oscar nomination. … Continue reading Big George Foreman

I bet it just got a little more awkward for those of you rewatching That 70’s Show. Just a little bit? 10) Outlander (Starz) English Audio Description?: No Status: Final Season I’ve caught up with Season 7. Mistress Fraser is currently in jail for her supposed murder that I couldn’t tell had happened in Season 6, because there’s no audio description. There’s more context given here, and when the more likely murderer confesses, I understood more of it. But there were still lots of questions. Was she on a boat? Is that boat just not moving? Was that another time … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/07/23

Warner TV suspended it’s TV deals with a lot of the major showrunners they had deals with. This strike is just one big power play for the studios. I’m surprised they aren’t just going around cancelling a ton of shows. 11) Family Matters (MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Ended Continuing his reign of terror, Urkel is given the right to direct a video for the family he’s not a part of. This is still season 1, and a character who wasn’t even in the first couple episodes has already taken over the series. Episode Grade: C+ 10) Designing Women … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/06/23

NCIS has an Australian spinoff that is now slated to air in Primetime this fall. So, get ready for NCIS Sydney. No, I’m not joking. 10) 10) Justified (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Revival Just Ended This time it wasn’t just the shootouts that rendered this episode unwatchable, but also a car explosion. Did it kill anyone? It sounded like Neal McDonaugh was in a car, got out, and then it exploded. I would think he would be standing too close. But I don’t know, because this show is inaccessible. I’m just here to pick up as much of … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/05/23

The strike has been going on for a lot longer than the studios thought they would. That’s for sure. I haven’t seen another movie abandon ship from 2023 yet. Only movies that cost a lot of money are likely to do so. 14) Desperate Housewives (Hulu) English Audio Description: No Status: Ended I’m finally ten episodes in. And while there were moments I understood, there were plenty I did not. Lots of quiet scenes, or a scene like Felicity Huffman’s mom taking a break to watch her nanny try to get her kids to eat Brussel Sprouts. It sounded like … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/04/23

I forgot Spectrum was Charter, so watching the people in my Facebook feed complaining about not being able to watch their games yesterday was fun. Hilariously, they all blamed Spectrum, and not ESPN. It’s sort of like the studios don’t realize how many people in this country are against them in the strike. They try to make it seem like an A-list actor wants more money, but most people know not to trust the CEO with the mega yacht. 11) Justified (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Revival Just Finished I’m close to finishing Season 3. This is a really … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/03/23

Vacation Friends 2

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Hulu English Audio Description?: Yes I know when I watched the first Vacation Friends i should have assumed they would make a sequel. After all, there are three hangover movies, but then again, only one Girls Trip. Sometimes, restraint is practiced, and a sequel does not occur. I didn’t hate the first Vacation Friends. I’d put it about on par with the Hangover sequels. It had its moments. This sequel? It’s terrible. The film almost works. It promises to put our two odd couples back together for a vacation, but then it introduces Steve Buscemi, and … Continue reading Vacation Friends 2

I saw the upcoming list of shows starting next week, and Virgin River is likely the one most worth mentioning. Though, I am really happy that I Am Groot got a second season. 14) The Lincoln Lawyer (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Renewed Good news for fans, the show got renewed. I actually enjoyed everything I saw yesterday, and this is on the bottom really for two reasons. The first being that this series is still not describing the Spanish dialogue. I’m working on my DuoLingo, and I’m not adept at this, other than picking up a few words … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/02/23

You Are So not Invited To My Bat mitzvah

John Stark

where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description Provided By International Digital center Written and Narrated By Kathlyn Finn Girls just wanna have great movies. In a year where women have successfully been represented boldly and perfectly in movies like Are you There God? It’s Me Margaret and the current reigning box office champ Barbie, it would be nice if Netflix rounded the circle with their own contribution. They didn’t completely miss the boat, but I can’t say this didn’t fall short. The film is based on a YA book of the same name that features two Jewish girls both … Continue reading You Are So not Invited To My Bat mitzvah

Hulu is on a cancellation spree. After axing The Great, the drop came for How I Met Your Father which has been cancelled after two seasons. 12) Designing Women (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended In Anthony Jr., Anthony is told he has a son. Oddly enough, until now, I thought his character was gay. Or, at least the equivalent of the time period when having gay characters on TV meant they never really talked about it. Also, what actually happened to Delta Burke’s career? I feel like she should have had more sitcoms after this, and all I … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/02/23

Flashdance

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Paramount Plus English Audio Description?: Yes Admittedly, this is my first time feeling like a maniac on the dance floor. I suppose in the grand scheme, had I known my blindness was coming, I might have tried to knock some of these “classics” out. I say classics, because I think this is remembered for something other than being a great cinematic work of art. I just am not the right age to have been able to see this theatrically, and the culture in the film just flew over my head. I literally had to take to … Continue reading Flashdance
