Edward Scissorhands

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Disney Plus Description Provided by: Deluxe Narrated By: Laura Post So why Edward Scissorhands? Well, a commentator in a group I’m in not too long ago made a comment about how for whatever reason, the Edward Scissorhands audio description track on Disney Plus was cut off, only partially there. This reminded me that I had never seen this, it seems to be something people liked, and it might even be a classic, so it gives me the chance to kill two birds with one stone. I’m sure when this film came out, and I was still … Continue reading Edward Scissorhands

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 5th

John Stark

Five shows. Really only two were in contention for the top spot. 1) Undone (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Well, I think that’s a series wrap. I hadn’t heard anything official about Undone being a two season show, but that felt like a series finale and not a season finale. Considering the entire series was wrapped up in a nice bow, I don’t know what a third season would conceptually even be. But, this final half hour really took everything it had ever built to, threw it in your face, and demanded that you love it. It was great. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 5th

Lightyear

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Disney Plus Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Katie Lynn Snyder So, I think the question on everyone’s mind is, did Pixar take Buzz Lightyear to infinity and beyond? Sort of. They made a valiant effort. But, I’m not sure anyone at Pixar ever stopped to ask why they were making a Lightyear movie in the first place, and if they had, they might have actually thought about that strange space man who crash landed on the bed in Andy’s room. That guy helped to launch not just one of the most adored franchises of … Continue reading Lightyear

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 4th

John Stark

Well, I squeezed some shows in today for your viewing pleasure. At least one is a limited series that now is totally done. But did it top the list? 1) Loot (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes This was actually a pretty close race with not really a clear front runner, but of the seven programs I watched, Loot’s third episode, which featured Maya Rudolph at her absolute finest doing a “Hot Ones” interview, nudges out the rest of the shows. there were some contenders, for sure, but the singular funniest moment had to be that. Episode Grade: A 2) … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 4th

Apocalypse Now Redux

John Stark

Where I Watched it: Netflix English Audio Description Available?: Yes Narrated By: Tanzi Alexander Francis Ford Coppola’s other extremely long classic epic finally got checked off my list. I didn’t put much thought into the “Redux” version, as it was the first time I was watching either version, and I just needed audio description. I figured this was a little different, but I had no idea this was almost an hour longer than the original. Good lord. And this thing is so dark and depressing, I can’t see myself wanting to jump back in to see the original cut even … Continue reading Apocalypse Now Redux

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 3rd

John Stark

Well, I had to squeeze Lightyear in here as well, so, 5 shows is it for this day. 1) Shining Girls (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes I cannot stress my love for this show. I was actually having moments in this 7th episode where I was so personally invested in fictitious characters that I was doing that whole “talking to them through the TV”. I really wanted Kirby to slap the shit out of Marcus. I mean, she went out on a limb and trusted this guy, who basically thinks she’s nuts and got her fired, and then tried … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 3rd

The Too Much TV Roundup- August 2nd

John Stark

Yesterday… I watched Night Sky… and it didn’t try to send me into another episode, and it was no longer in my continue watching. Today, it’s in my continue watching. I’m so confused. Did I finish that the other day? I guess, I’ll find out next week… when I try to finish it again? Anyway, pretty sure I did finish another show, but I’m going to not say which one because my world is upside down. 1) the Marvelous Ms maisel (Amazon) English Audio Description? Yes I do believe, and I don’t want to jinx it, that I’m all caught … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- August 2nd

Not OK

John Stark

Where I Watched It: Hulu Audio Description Provided By: Descriptive Video Works As I sit here and write something for my blog, after having recorded a video for my YouTube, I realize this film that is trying to say something about the presence of social media in our lives has effected the way many of us interact and make choices in our regular lives. So, while I’m fairly certain this film will not be for everyone, I think it is actually trying to say something. What that something is, will be based largely around how Zoey Deutch’s performance resonates with … Continue reading Not OK

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 30th

John Stark

One of my shorter lists, but I did manage a few movies instead of a long list of shows. It’s a trade off. Makes ranking a bit easier. 1) The Orville (Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: Yes This show doesn’t have the right to be this good. Seriously. The fact that it might end on Season 3 is bonkers to me, after watching them hit consecutive home runs on the first two episodes of the season. This one reminded me a bit of Event Horizon, with this ship in the middle of nowhere with no crew on board and just … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 30th

Splash

John Stark

Where I watched It: Disney Plus English Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Laura Post The last time Splash was made relevant to me was when film nerds who caught the opening of Disney Plus looked at all the offerings and said “Splash. That will be my first watch.” And then they noticed that Disney blurred out the nudity, and there was some minor internet outrage. I’m anti-censorship, but I’m also anti-watching a movie for the nudity. So, if you pervs cued up Splash only to see Daryl Hannah’s brief nudity, that’s what Pornhub is for. Not an actual … Continue reading Splash

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 27th

John Stark

A pretty stacked day of TV shows. At least one show that has topped the list every time out. Did it manage to retain its top spot again? 1) Shining Girls (Apple Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Yes. yes it did. Even though when i realized what was happening, and that I was learning the backstory to the Thin Man (as well as his name), I wasn’t 100% sure I wanted this to happen. There’s a mystery and intrigue I love about the show, and I know that it has to all be explained somehow, but a full episode … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 27th

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 26th

John Stark

What are the chances I watched something awesome? 1) The Marvelous Ms maisel (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes It’s taken me a long road to get to the 7th episode of the season, so if you’ll excuse the spoiler here, but this episode nailed my top spot when all of Joel’s fears are realized when he tells his father about his new lady, and he appears to actually die from shock. Of course, it’s the last thing that happens at the end of the episode for a cliffhanger, but it made me slot it at the top. Also, Midge … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 26th

The Too Much tV Roundup- July 25th

John Stark

Normally, on a Monday, i would be praising Outer Range yet again. I finished that last week, so who made it to the top of this Monday’s chart? 1) Night Sky (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Something interesting is finally happening to the secondary storyline, as it becomes more clear that for some reason our Latinx family is here to hunt down Jude. But what really made this show work had nothing to do with the science fiction,and everything to do with the quiet work JK Simmons has been building on all season. Some absolutely heartbreaking work from him … Continue reading The Too Much tV Roundup- July 25th

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 24th

John Stark

I finally got around to starting a few new shows, as well as getting back into Evil (so I’m a little behind this season). But with the new shows, which one managed to top the list? 1) The Orville (Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Well, I rarely head with a spoiler warning, but we need to talk about this Season premiere. First, it’s been a minute since we’ve had the pleasure of the crew from The Orville after it moved to hulu. Covid delays and such. I’m actually surprised at the amount of people I know watching this. I … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 24th

Blacklight

John Stark

Well, sometimes I watch so many damn movies, I don’t always review them in the moments after. Truth be told, I have no information on who made this audio description. That could very well mean there wasn’t any announced at the end. After all, Blacklight is one of those films that just dies when released upon the world. I don’t even think it was given the same theatrical push as some of Neeson’s past recent works like Honest thief. I really believe people saw this, they knew it was terrible, and just dropped it onto VOD. no one even bothered … Continue reading Blacklight
