The Too Much TV Roundup- May 16th

John Stark

Despite actually having to work at my job yesterday (Yes, i still have one of those), I still managed to knock out a fair amount of programming. Who earned the top spot from this random assortment? 1) Bridgerton (Netflix) English Audio Description Available?: Yes You know, i never quite commend Bridgerton for all the great audio description, but this is top notch. Lots of comments about heaving bosoms, which when you think about how many watch this program for the escapist romantic entanglements, makes a certain kind of description really appropriate. Plus, with such a wide ensemble, I somehow never … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 16th

The Lost City

John Stark

Starring: Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Daniel Radcliffe, Brad Pitt, Divine Joy Randolph, and Oscar Nunez. Directed By: Aaron and Adam May Where I Watched It: Paramount Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes Narrated By: Darren Polis The Plot: Did you see Romancing The Stone? Well… Sandra Bullock is an author who would much rather be writing books about history, but no one would read those, so she incorporates her knowledge into trashy romance novels that are a huge hit, due in part to her cover model (Tatum), who she assumes is an idiot. But when her newest book starts talking … Continue reading The Lost City

It may have swapped streaming services. The Plot: Top Gun is actually a school where they take the most elite pilots and train them to be the best. … Continue reading Top Gun

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 13th

John Stark

Actually, I’m trying to make sure I actually remember everything I actually watched yesterday. it was a lot, and I didn’t write anything down, because I thought my memory could sustain a 24 hour period. I think this is it. I think. 1) Better Call Saul (AMC/Netflix) English Audio Description: On Netflix I’m actually catching up still on Season 5, since Netflix and AMC in their infinite wisdom waited until right before Season 6 dropped to release Season 5 on Netflix. Frustrating, I know, but this show doesn’t run with audio description on AMC, so perhaps, I’ll just wait for … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 13th

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 12th

John Stark

I did squeez in a movie in and around all of these TV shows. On a side note, yesterday was a brutal red wedding for TV shows (and decisions still need to be made by ABC and fOX). CBS has said goodbye to Magnum PI, The United States Of Al, Be Positive, How We Roll, and Good Sam. (If I could save one of those five, it would be The United States of Al, though CBS is cutting back on comedies altogether, ordering no new sitcoms, and returning next year with just the four returnees). NBC cancelled The Endgame, Mr … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 12th

The Too Much TV Roundup: Tuesday May 10th

John Stark

Trying a new thing with my TV Roundups, so i can talk about more shows. It’s becoming harder to do just a top 10, and this is a broader look at everything I watch. This will slowly become what I want it to be. i did watch a movie yesterday (review not yet published), so that won’t be listed, but may have brought down the amount of TV shows. 1) New Amsterdam (NBC/Peacock/Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: Depends on the platform. So, I watched the first of the two new episodes this week, and I’m really hating that this season … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup: Tuesday May 10th

The Too Much TV- Monday May 9th

John Stark

Because it’s becoming a bit insane to try and track all of the television I watch, and come up with a list of 10 shows, here’s everything I watched yesterday, ranked in order of best to worst, or favorite to least favorite. You now get the whole picture. 1) Severance (Apple Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Yes So, I had mentioned the last time I listed this show, I was one episode from the finale. Now it’s done, it’s behind me, and my mind in blown. I can’t wait for Season 2. This show is highly addictive, and gets better … Continue reading The Too Much TV- Monday May 9th

Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins

John Stark

Starring: Henry Goulding. Directed By: Robert Schwentke Where I Watched It: Paramount Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: Someone at Hasbro thinks they can start a cinematic universe, and we now have our third GI JOE movie with a brand new set of characters and actors, only most of these actors you’ve never heard of, and this plot takes the one member of GI Joe most known for never talking, and has him talk the entire film as he tries to avenge his father’s death, while training to be a ninja, fighting Anacondas, and having brief encounters with … Continue reading Snake Eyes: GI Joe Origins

the Too Much TV Roundup

John Stark

You know the deal. It’s time for another top 10 shows from last week from me. I started watching a few new shows, but will they make it onto the top 10? 1) Black-ish (ABC/Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: On most episodes (from my experience). The Johnson’s bid us farewell last week, closing their door on a seven season Emmy nominated run, that launched two spinoffs. As we saw in the pilot, Dre came full circle in realizing that the strongest move he could make wasn’t to lift only his family up into an all white community, but rather to … Continue reading the Too Much TV Roundup

The Too Muchn TV Roundup

John Stark

Here’s a roundup of everything I had an opportunity to watch last week, and the top ten shows I want to talk about, or recommend the most. As a reminder, there’s far too much TV for me to watch, so I’m perpetually behind, so some newer series I haven’t even started yet because I’m still trying to clear my list. you may be further behind or ahead of me. But I promise I consume a ton of media. 1) Moon knight (Disney Plus) Audio Description Available?: Yes Once again, moon Knight tops my list of shows I feel the immediate … Continue reading The Too Muchn TV Roundup

Directed By: Jeff Fowler Where I Watched It: Paramount Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes Narrated By: Darren Polish The Plot: Banished to earth for his own safety, Sonic (Schwartz) lives a rather mundane life for ten years in a very sleepy town, with a police officer (Marsden) who dreams of being a big city cop and one day actually getting to do something substantial.

The Too Much TV Round Up

John Stark

It’s that time of week when I rundown the top 10 shows I watched last week I feel compelled to talk about. New development, is that… midweek… Peacock pushed an update to their application that actually allowed me to navigate and turn on audio description. Mind blowing. So, strap in, because even more titles on this list are now likely to have audio description. 1) Moon Knight (Disney Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Yes I cannot state how much I loved the pilot episode of this series. And it has very little to do with my excitement for the character … Continue reading The Too Much TV Round Up

Halo (Pilot)

John Stark

Starring: Pablo Schrieber, Yarin Ha, Natasha McEllhonne, Bokeem Woodbine, and Ryan McPartlin. Where I Watched It: Paramount Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes Description Provided By: Descriptive Video Works The Plot: It’s Halo. I know that doesn’t mean much for people unfamiliar with the franchise, but for those who are, it’s Halo. For those who aren’t, this takes place way in the future, and we are introduced to a group of colonists who start dropping some exposition about Marines, Spartans, and some more Halo mythology before an alien race drops in and starts massacring people. Then, we finally get to … Continue reading Halo (Pilot)
