The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/21/23

To the likely shock of no one, HBo MAX cancelled another show. So, if you were a fan of Southside, sorry. It’s dead now. It’s in TV heaven. And considering how they love to purge content, if you haven’t finished Southside yet, I’d binge that shit immediately if you are at all interested. I’m not, but you might be. like, call in sick. Trust me, from the guy who stupidly thought he’d be able to finish Let THe Right One In the day after it was cancelled. These streamers no longer give fucks. No more to give. 7) 7) The … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/21/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/18/23

I technically watched three movies today, though one wasn’t feature length. And 8 episodes. So there ya go. 8) The Watchful eye (Freeform/Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Really, this show was borderline unwatchable without audio description. It opens up in the pilot and for the first few minutes, something is happening, but there is no audio description, and no one is talking. That’s not the only time that tactic is used in this show. Sadly, I got the hint that if this did have audio description I would watch it. So, if you’re one of my sighted readers, I’ll let … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/18/23

Jeepers Creepers Reborn

Where I Watched it: hulu English Audio Description?: no Yeah, i figured since I saw the first and second films in this series, I’d check out Reborn, despite the awful word of mouth. I mean, it couldn’t be any worse than… Fuck me. It is. I don’t even need audio description to know this film is awful. It’s assembled from a laundry list of barely functioning tropes to cause an audience to contemplate walking into traffic. I’m sure, as shitty as this film is without audio description, nothing really changes except knowledge of how silly the gore probably is. We’ve … Continue reading Jeepers Creepers Reborn

The Too Much TV Rounup- 02/17/23

Eight programs. I also watched two films, but I managed eight programs including the feature length final episode of Madoff. So, more like 7 episodes and 3 films. 8) How I Met Your Father? (Hulu) English Audio Description?: Yes “Did you really just dump shrimp into a pool where a woman is about to give birth?” Did i really quit watching this show? Yes. yes I am. Episode Grade: C- 7) Chicago Party Aunt (Netflix) English Audio Description: Yes I’ll just say i wasn’t a fan of the third episode of the new season. And I’ll leave it at that. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Rounup- 02/17/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/16/23

At least one of these was the final episode. but, was that final episode enough to put it on top? Honestly, I have to write something here, so creating fake drama is about as good as this gets. 6) Star Wars: The Bad Batch (Disney Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Damn. That was cold. On top of Cody not wanting to follow orders, the man shouting at him had the most annoying voice, so when that scene played out the way it did, I was a bit surprised. I thought Cody was going to shoot his obnoxious leader. Episode Grade: … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/16/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/15/23

While I did not see last nights Masked Singer, I did hear about that elimination. I know some people think the show is done and over, but it still manages to draw that level of talent, something that Dancing With The Stars hasn’t been able to do for a while. So, for now, it would seem The Masked Singer can stick around. No reality stars got eliminated this week lol. 6) 6) Night Court (NBC/Peacock) English Audio Description?: Yes While it still sits at the bottom of the list, the third episode of the series had a much needed jolt … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/15/23

The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/14/23

Since I’m basically in a long term relationship with my TV, I made sure we got our quality time in. As i saw yet another debate rage on about the lack of audio description on a certain streaming service, and with certain shows mentioned, I feel like there’s always time to mention checking out the audio description project: adp.ACB.org If my lists aren’t enough for you, they have a comprehensive list of what has audio description, and where you can watch it. 7) Wolf Pack (Paramount plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Y’all, this series is not good. I see that … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 02/14/23

Best Of 2022: Top 10 horror Films

Starting off the look back at 2022, and my Best Of lists. I intend to cover both Film and Television, and I’m going to work my way up to the major categories, instead of starting with them. So, today,a list I don’t think will change, the best Horror Films. As i am a blind film critic, I typically review films with audio description, though i have reviewed films without. It is possible something could appear on a list that did not have audio description, but for this list, every title had audio description when I watched it. So, below is … Continue reading Best Of 2022: Top 10 horror Films

Darby and the Dead

Where I Watched it: hulu English Audio Description Provided By: Pixel logic Narrated By: Jackson Colores While I enjoy the fact that I’ve likely seen more films than most print critics, or will have seen, of the 2022 releases, I really do watch some totally useless and forgettable films. The kind of films that don’t get me traffic, either here or on my Youtube. but, there’s a better film in Darby and the Dead, it’s just one that the filmmakers didn’t want to tell. They could have told the story about Darby growing up, and being in a tragic accident … Continue reading Darby and the Dead

It’s A Wonderful Binge

Where I Watched It: hulu English Audio Description Provided By: Pointe 360 Narrated By: Roy Samuelson Many moons ago, Nostradamus predicted that two children of the devil would be born, and unto the world, they would completely miss the boat on how to make parody/spoof films, and thus their reign of terror would result in a series of films that are universally despised. This includes everything from the aptly titled Date movie and Epic Movie to Meet The Spartans and The Hungover Games. If you told me they directed this, i would not be shocked. This film, which shockingly features … Continue reading It’s A Wonderful Binge

God Forbid

Where I Watched it: Hulu English Audio Description Provided By: Point 360 Narrated By: Tanzi Alexander Remember Jerry falwell Jr.? The scandal that brought down the head of Liberty University? Well, this is a documentary about that, but produced by Adam McKay, so it can’t just be a documentary about that. it has to be broad as hell. One of the things that works really well is that God Forbid creates a safe, credible environment for Giancarlo (the third man in that holy sandwich) to come forward and tell his story, in a reinforced and straight forward manner. If anything, … Continue reading God Forbid

Matriarch

Where I Watched It: Hulu English Audio Description Provided By Point 360 Narrated By: Roy Samuelson I laughed basically all the way through my YouTube review version of this. Not because the film is funny, but because it is totally and completely bonkers. Yesterday, in the real world, I was mentioning some of the more recent titles I had seen that felt wholly original as horror titles, and not just retreads, and that’s half the reason I gave Matriarch decent marks. I’m still, a week later, not sure what I watched. I don’t know that I will ever fully understand … Continue reading Matriarch

The Too Much TV Roundup- October 29th

A slow Saturday, but I still managed four shows and a movie. Here’s how those four shows laid out. 4) Little Demon (FXX/Hulu) English Audio Description?: no I think the most frustrating thing about this show isn’t the content, which I’m sure turned away viewers, it’s that because FX slacks on AD, or Hulu refuses to use it (who knows), this show doesn’t have it. So, all of the absolutely crazy stuff that happens, regarding demons or demons using abilities, or even our main girl using her powers, a lot of that visual stuff is 100% lost on me. I’m … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 29th

Grimcuddy

Where I Watched It: hulu Audio Description Provided By: Point 360 Narrated By: Roy Samuelson Hulu continues its barrage of horror titles this October with a horror title about a meme gone wild that stars Shannon Sossamon. Really, that’s all you need to know. Right? Grimcuddy is a meme, a rather well described creepy as hell meme that comes to life and haunts kids that participate supposedly in its challenge. Basically, parents think their kids are cutting themselves to serve this meme, but these kids can actually see Grimcuddy. And after the attack, they are left with cuts, and the … Continue reading Grimcuddy

The Too Much TV Roundup- October 23rd

I managed to squeeze in starting a few new series today. Sadly, not everything had audio description today. 8) Star Trek: Lower Decks (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes The comedy version of Star Trek goes just far enough to be considered comedic, but not too far to be considered mocking the Trek universe. Maybe, it needs a little send up from time to time. I’ve been watching this for a few seasons, and it’s never been at the top of my list. it’s always just kind of sat here. Barely clinging on to my increasingly hard to maintain viewership. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- October 23rd
