The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/09/23

John Stark

It’s not TV news, but I’m pretty excited that michael Mann’s next movie is Heat 2. I’m less excited that he’s expressing interest in Adam Driver. part of what made the first film so great was that it put Pacino against DeNiro, and there just really isn’t anyone for Driver to go up against. While I’m unfamiliar with the screenplay, I think you have to go with some kind of pairing that is relative to that experience. The only one I can think of currently is Matt Damon vs Ben Affleck, but I’m sure there’s one out there that is … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 10/09/23

Today is the day Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem hits Paramount Plus. I, of course, am wondering where mission Impossible Dead Reckoning and Indiana Jones are, but sure, let’s put an August movie up. 8) 8) Seaquest DSV (Peacock) English Audio Description?: No Status: Ended The writing was all over the place, so it was harder to follow than usual without audio description. This one character kept telling the same story about knowing he was going to die as he saw a giant fish. The thing that made this episode unintentionally hilarious and awesome, is this exchange between a … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/18/23

Disney and Charter have kinda sorta figured their stuff out. So, Football fans probably enjoyed last nights game. 11) The Masked Singer (Hulu) English Audio Description?: No Status: Presumably Renewed I really wish that this show had audio description. I’ve never really gotten an idea of these elaborate costumes. It would also help with the visual cues in the clue packages the judges don’t immediately say out loud.That being said, while my ears didn’t direct me to the person, the second clue package they gave was so obvious. This was such a disappointing episode, because their idea of best performances … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/11/23

The strike has been going on for a lot longer than the studios thought they would. That’s for sure. I haven’t seen another movie abandon ship from 2023 yet. Only movies that cost a lot of money are likely to do so. 14) Desperate Housewives (Hulu) English Audio Description: No Status: Ended I’m finally ten episodes in. And while there were moments I understood, there were plenty I did not. Lots of quiet scenes, or a scene like Felicity Huffman’s mom taking a break to watch her nanny try to get her kids to eat Brussel Sprouts. It sounded like … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 09/04/23

The Too Much TV Lineup- 08/13/23

Zachary Levi made a comment about the studios pushing out crappy product. Look inside yourself Zachary, and you too will find the solution. Perhaps, the guy starring in the Spy Kids reboot shouldn’t maybe complain too much. Just a thought. 8) Foundation (Apple plus) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Not Yet Renewed The only show that makes me feel stupid. The audio description is great, and the show poses a lot of really interesting questions, but holy hell is this a bitch to follow. I went back a season and rewatched The Witcher and outlander for better context, and the … Continue reading The Too Much TV Lineup- 08/13/23

For those of you who pay attention to relese dates, this is your heads up. Tomorrow, Season 3 of only Murders in The Building starts. 11) Dark Winds (AMC Plus) English Audio Description?: Red on, young man Status: Not Yet Renewed I had to start Dark Winds at the beginning. Of course, I looked for an alternative audio track, and instead of audio description, I got this “dialogue boost” offered. It’s certainly not the same thing, but I figured I’d at least try it out. It didn’t really seem to do much. Then, we got serious about the lack of … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 08/06/23
