The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/06/23

John Stark

Well, HBo cancelled Perry Mason after two seasons.What a shame. Honestly, they were trying to elevate it, but Perry Mason would be a lot better off as just a regular procedural on CBS. 12) Family Matters (MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Ended That opening urkel joke was a groaner. Then, walking outside to tell your whole family not to drive this car, was like begging them to do so. Obviously, shenanigans were bound to happen. Episode Grade: C+ 11) Dinosaurs (Disney plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended Robbie doesn’t know if he wants to be a carnivore or … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/06/23

John Stark

I’m not sure there’s a ton of TV news, aside from the fact that the DGA signed a new contract, leaving the WGA and SAG as being the two still left. But, I did watch a ton of pilot episodes yesterday. 16) Clone high (MAX) English Audio Description?: No Status: Revived Still trying to get through the original Clone High. I think I finally am hearing Will forte’s voice. This episode dealt with getting a diagnoses of ADD. Maybe this would be funnier with audio description. Episode Grade: B- 15) 8 Simple Rules (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/04/23

A Thousand And One

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Peaecock English Audio Description?: Yes I knew nothing going in. I know that sounds like a rarity, but frequently I have very little information, as I don’t watch that many previews (since most don’t have audio description). With this title, I had a friend see it in theatres and recommend it to me, but I wasn’t engaged enough to track it down theatrically. A few weeks later, it’s on Peacock. This film is best served cold. I say that knowing that it was slow starting, and I wasn’t fully invested in the film for a while. … Continue reading A Thousand And One

John Stark

Sometimes I wonder… will we ever get to see the second season of Chad? I know it was cancelled by TBS, but it completed shooting. It was actually cancelled the day it was supposed to have its second season premiere. Did anyone buy the completed second season? Tubi? Roku? Anyone? 14) Clarissa Explains it All (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended Fergus breaks something in the house, and blames it on ghosts, which leads them to doing a seance for some character we’ve never met before with a ridiculous name. It swings for the fences, but strikes out. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/03/23

White Men Can’t Jump (2023)

John Stark

Where I Watched It: In A Multiverse, Clearly. This Can’t Be Real. But, hulu. English Audio Description Provided By: PixelLogic Narrated By: Laura Post What do we have here? Oh look, the same guy who thought a remake of House Party was what 2023 needed was also hired to remake White men Can’t jump. Perhaps, if we’re really fucking lucky, he’ll put Tyga in a remake of Friday. Street ball rules apply. First to eleven, win by two. Me versus this film. The film checks the ball, and immediately introduces me to people who are not Woody Harrelson and Wesley … Continue reading White Men Can’t Jump (2023)

Ant Man and the Wasp: QuantumMania

John Stark

where I Watched it: Disney Plus English Audio description? Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Jedidiah Barton Marvel has been getting a little raked over the coals ever since we snapped back to reality. if you don’t move too far, you can find someone complaining about the state of Marvel films. is it a fair comparison? Debatable. I think two of my least favorite films have been released in the last few years, with Black Widow and Eternals being very underwhelming. The latter took an interesting villain in Taskmaster and somehow made them boring, but thought gender flipping them would make … Continue reading Ant Man and the Wasp: QuantumMania

The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/02/2023

John Stark

Well, the word came down the pike that The Winchesters is now officially dead, and no one wanted to save it. Probably a little too soon for a Supernatural reboot. 13) Dinosaurs (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended This episode was dumb, as Earl focuses a lot on wanting to watch more TV, and win a big TV, and be on TV. The point of this episode was lost. Episode Grade: C- 12) Family Matters (HBo MAX) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Ended Man, urkel sounds really young. But, I finally got to the first episode of the … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/02/2023

Dungeons And Dragons: honor Among Thieves

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Paramount Plus English Audio Description?: Yes I think we should wait for Jonathan. Well, I hope we can all agree this is better than the last big screen attempt at a Dungeons and Dragons movie. I say this with the knowledge that I’m not a D&D fan, so I’m not sure how those dice rollers feel about this comic take on their game. but, it reminds me of the last cinematic attempt at power Rangers. Way better than anyone thought it would be, yet still somehow never got a sequel. The whole cast is entertaining, but … Continue reading Dungeons And Dragons: honor Among Thieves

The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/01/23

John Stark

I watched something on the same day it got picked up for another season. This proves that shows can still be picked up during the writers strike, so I’d love it if ABC could go ahead and pick up Home Economics (and make Casey Wilson a series regular), and NBC can pick up American Auto. That’s really all I need. 14) Clone High Original (MAX) English Audio Description?: No Status: Revived Still going back through the original episodes, and the second one revives around running for class president, and Abe versus JFK. I get that there’s this Afterschool Special vibe … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/01/23

Crater

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Disney plus English Audio Description?: Yes Last year,I stumbled upon a random straight-to-video Disney Plus release with Better Nate Than Never that wound up being one of the best of almost 300 films I saw in 2022. There is a chance that Crater, which really took me by surprise, will be that film this year. I’ve already participated in spirited online debates defending this film, which hails from the director of The Stanford Prison Experiment (shocking, I know). Apparently, the trailers (which I don’t really ever watch anymore), showed a happy movie. Crater is not happy. … Continue reading Crater

Still: A Michael j Fox Story

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Apple Plus English Audio Description?: Yes This has been a pretty solid year for documentaries about individuals in the business, especially those still alive, who are getting to contribute to their own stories. Pamela Anderson, Judy Blume, and Wynonna Judd. Now, Michael j Fox brings his life story to the big screen. I’m a big Fox fan. I do not care that The Secret of My Success wasn’t a critical darling. i love it. I love Greedy. of course, it goes without saying that Back To the Future is iconic, and his performance in The American … Continue reading Still: A Michael j Fox Story

John Stark

Lots of interesting TV news. Danny Masterson clearly will not be appearing on That 90’s Show ever. Kim Cattral will be returning to And Just Like That next season. Oh, and it’s technically June 1st, so Happy Pride Month! 12) Fatal Attraction (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed I think this just fell on bottom due to several things. First, I’m not a big fan of the monotone narration. Not that there’s the best way to describe when a man enters a woman and starts thrusting, but there’s something just so lifeless about how those scenes … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/31/23

The Mother

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description Provided By: international Digial center Written by: Steven Christopher Narrated By: Jamie Lemcheck I enjoy Jenny from the block, and I do wish the best for her career. It’s mostly vapid and forgettable romcoms, but her career has spanned quite a broad period of time. Sandwiched into that spectrum of time are these little glimmers that she’s capable of so much more, and just needs to choose her projects better. Whether your choose to point out her almost Oscar nominated turn in Hustlers or her fan favorite turn as Karen Sisco in … Continue reading The Mother

I watched way too much TV yesterday. i know a lot of these are half hours, but even for me. My God. Wow. 16) Saint X (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed You know, this was one of the first things I watched, and I can’t remember anything about it. It’s the second episode, and I remember there’s a mystery around a murdered girl, and the show is on an island. I got very little beyond that. It wasn’t bad enough for me to remember hating it, it’s just mediocre enough for me to not care. Episode … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/29/23

Air

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Amazon English Audio Description Provided By: Media Access Group Narrated by: Inger Tudor Generally by the time I get around to the print versions of my reviews, I’m always a little bit behind my YouTube channel. It’s just so much easier to record and upload, than to construct my thoughts while fighting aggressive auto-correct, and a screen reader that often reads a word that sounds so much like the word I meant to use. But, even with the few more 2023 films I’ve seen since Air, it’s still at number one for me for the year. … Continue reading Air
