Where I Watched It: iTunes English Audio Description?: Yes Edited To Add: Written and Narrated By: Veronica Hicks Look, I review movies. Yes, I have opinions on things that are not movies, and i realize at this time simply posting a review of a film released this year could spawn unfortunate backlash.

Fast X

John Stark

Where I Watched It: In The Family Room on Peacock English Audio Description?: Yes, Family May Enjoy Audio Description Family.

John Stark

Where I Watched it: MAX English Audio Description provided By: Deluxe Narrated By: Jedidiah Barton I will die on the hill that even if DC is trying to torpedo Shazam’s own franchise, Zachary Levi needs to stay. The smartest decision James Gunn could make would be to figure out an alternative way of using Levi. Sadly, this sequel doesn’t hold up to the original.

Luckily, Zachary Levi is effortless in this role. he’s so good, so perfectly cast. he’s a giant man … Continue reading Shazam: Fury Of The Gods

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.

But seriously, for the ninth entry in this franchise, Vin Diesel expertly gaslights you through an insanely improbable storyline, using a ton of flashbacks, to tie in a story and make it seem like it was always inevitable, and you just weren’t paying attention. Explaining the plot is a spoiler in itself, … Continue reading F9: The Fast Saga
