It’s a shame the Shadow died, because they know what evil lurks in the hearts of men. Nice audio description, not a … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/07/26

John Stark

TV Shows Watched:The Agency: S2 E1-5 (Paramount) with audio description, Shelved: S1E3 (Peacock) no audio description, and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire: S5E3 (Disney Plus) with audio description The Agency- Yup. Tried to knock out another show, but this one is another 10 episode behemoth, and I couldn’t pull it off, so I’ll tackle 6-10 likely on Saturday. I don’t remember much of Season 1, but this has so many different beats to it than a typical Taylor Sheridan production. The cast is stellar, and John Megarro has a lot to do in the first five episodes, where I … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/06/26

Avatar: Fire And Ash

John Stark

I suppose I should start this by admitting that I didn’t experience Avatar: Fire and Ash the way James Cameron probably intended. I didn’t see it on the biggest screen imaginable. I waited until it arrived on Disney+, and then I watched it on my phone. Well, “watched” is a strong word for a blind film critic. I can’t see the screen anyway, so the size of it doesn’t really matter to me. What did matter was finally getting to experience it with the absolutely tremendous audio description track produced by Deluxe and narrated by William Michael Redman. This is … Continue reading Avatar: Fire And Ash

The Wonderfully Weird World Of Gumball: Season 1

John Stark

When I first sat down to see what Hulu and Disney+ were doing with The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, I honestly didn’t expect to watch all 20 episodes of the first season. But I did. Every single one of them. I can’t say I remember every episode perfectly because I watched them over a stretch of time instead of binging the whole thing in one sitting, but next season I’ll probably do exactly that. At only about 11 minutes per episode, you’re really looking at around three and a half to four hours for the entire season, which makes … Continue reading The Wonderfully Weird World Of Gumball: Season 1

Release year: 1940 Studio: Disney Runtime: 124 minutes Audio Description Provided By: Deluxe Written by: Narrated By: What is it?: A classic. Walt Disney originally intended for Fantasia to be a living project, and continue to evolve more over the years. Despite feature length animation being relatively new still in 1940, it didn’t attract the same attention as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and didn’t get a second wind until fantasia 2000. The movie takes mostly silent animated shorts and sets them to classic compositions. Each segment is accompanied by a live orchestra, slightly visible on screen, with a … Continue reading Fantasia: 85th Anniversary
