The Too Much TV Roundup- 06/03/23

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

John Stark

I did not plan this today. But i watched a new episode of Citadel the same day Amazon greenlit a second season. So that is my big TV news story to rock your world this morning. 12) All In The Family (FreeVee) English audio Description?: No Status: Ended Other than remembering Rob Reiner yelling about his Polish heritage at one point, my sleep last night completely erased what this episode was about. Occasionally that’s a problem with a show when i watch this much stuff in one day. Episode Grade: ? 11) Futurama (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Revived … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/25/23

Paramount Plus and i are about to butt heads. I found out that they finally uploaded audio description for Everything Everywhere All At Once, which is a Showtime title. They still have not uploaded audio description for actual Showtime series that have known audio description. Winter is coming, you Paramount bitches. You can bother to do the work to get audio description for an A24 title, but not one of your own shows? That makes no sense. 15) TransAtlantic (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited Series I was on the fence after the first episode, but the second episode … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/19/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/04/23

John Stark

I celebrated Star Wars Day by not watching any Star Wars. Listen. i watched and reviewed all the titles last year before obi Wan dropped. I’m good to go for this year. Also, production on some shows continue to shut down due to the writers strike. The most recent shows affected are hacks, American Horror Story, and billions. 12) The power (Amazon) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not yet Renewed Amazon’s drama, which I love the concept, but not the execution, continues to be kind of a mess. It’s characters are spread out. Generally, the lead is the big name, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 05/04/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 04/01/23

John Stark

We are already a quarter of the way through the year. Based on how fast I review films thus far, I’ll see 80 films this year. Of course, I know I’ll see more, but it’s crazy how slow accumulating that at the beginning of the year really is. 7) History Of The World Part 2 (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes There were times in the first episode that the comedy did feel in the style of Mel Brooks, but most of this doesn’t feel like him at all. I did laugh at the Lincoln segment in the first part. Making … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 04/01/23

John Stark

Big TV News? Knock At The Cabin is coming to Peacock next week. Maybe that counts? Saturdays are not known for being big news days. 8) The Bad batch (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes I think, I’m not really into this series anymore. i feel like I’m trying to force myself through this season, but truthfully, The mandalorian is making me realize what it is I actually want out of a Star Wars show. Running these two on top of each other is a mistake. I don’t know that I’ll finish the season. Episode Grade: C+ 7) 1923 (Paramount … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 03/18/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 03/14/23

John Stark

I’m not sure I have a profound revelation about television today other than that I did finally check out one of those very few licensed films Apple Plus hosts for a short term, only to find out it did not have audio description. For shame. 6) 1923 (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes This show is a bit all over the place sometimes, proving that perhaps Taylor Sheridan has too many fires in the oven. The focus was back on the Duttons, and the strongest part of this episode was Jake (Harrison Ford) actually having something to do other than … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 03/14/23

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

Directed By: George Lucas Where I Watched It: Disney Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes Description Provided By: Media Access Group Narrated By: Miles Neff I’ve seen A new Hope so many times, definitely the most of the Star Wars films. However, I’m not of the generation that experienced this upon release. My first official encounter was the Special Edition rerelease in theatres in the 90’s, as was my introduction to the entire original trilogy. I could have seen … Continue reading Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
