Jackass 4.5

John Stark

Starring: Jackasses. Directed By: Jeff Tremaine Where I Watched it: Netflix English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: Deleted stunts from Jackass Forever are mixed with interviews with the cast. What Works: So, like i said with Jackass Forever,n this is either your thing or it isn’t. Critics should not matter. I’m just giving my opinion, but really, this is not something that warrants critical praise. What’s the point? What do I Analyze? how good each stunt is? The originality/ The shock factor? How goofy the cast is? What are the metrics? There aren’t any. And that’s the point. This … Continue reading Jackass 4.5

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 29th

John Stark

Surprisingly very little television shows were had. You know, i do other things, right? Here’s a quick rundown of what I thought was the tops. I think that’s an old timey phrase. 1) The Offer (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Yes I finally started this limited series about the creation of The Godfather film, and I’m a sucker for movies about movies. That’s probably why I was so surprised when Mank didn’t work for me, because this is a pretty solid sub-genre to throw at me. There is a rather excellent Robert Evans impersonation in here, but really most … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 29th

Directed By: Sergei Borgov Where I Watched it: Netflix English Audio Description Available?: Yes Description Provided By: Media Access Group Narrated By: Claudia Dunn The Plot: I have no idea.

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 27th

John Stark

Yesterday was a big day for TV shows. I only had one final Star Wars film to knock off the list, so i could finally dive into the long waited Obi Wan kenobi and Stranger Things debuts. But where did they end up on the list? 1) Stranger Things (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes In the Season 4 premiere, the long awaited return was very much worth the wait.

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 26th

John Stark

Somehow, in and around the movies, I’m still managing to knock out series. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. Lol. 1) Better Call Saul (Netflix/AMC) English Audio Description available?: Yes in the 7th episode of Season 5, jimmy and Kim worked toward a closure on their Green Table (aka Mesa Verde) plot, which led to not only a whopper of a gimmick from Saul Goodman, but in the episode’s B-Plot, mike worked to remove Lallo from the equation without personally linking himself to the events. So many actors deserve Emmy’s from this series. Episode Grade: A 2) … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 26th
