Jackass Forever

John Stark

Starring: Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Wee Man, and the rest of the Jackass family, featuring several cameos from non-Jackass alumni ranging from Eric Andre to Machine Gun Kelly. Directed By: Jeff Tremaine Where I Watched It: Paramount Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes Unfortunately, Paramount Plus decided I did not need to even finish the outtakes for this film, let alone view any of the credits, and made the choice to rip me out of Jackass Forever during the end outtakes, so i do not know which company provided the audio description or the narrator. I also didn’t finish the outtakes. … Continue reading Jackass Forever

The Too Much TV Roundup

John Stark

Once again, I’m running down the list of the 10 shows I most want to talk about from the past week. Not all may have audio description available, but it will be noted. Not all of these are recommendations, and i don’t binge watch, so I might be in a different place than you in a streaming series. 1) The Shining Veil (STARZ) English Audio Description?: No Definitely a show I would love to have audio description for, because I thought the pilot was clever as hell. It’s obviously not made to be taken too seriously, but there’s a hint … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup

The too Much TV Roundup

John Stark

A day late and a dollar short. Changing up the format a bit. Previously, I just ran down the streaming services and picked a show. Now, I’ll just be doing the top 10 programs that hit me one way or the other in the last 7 days. Remember, I don’t binge watch. So, some of these might be a bit old, and you might already be done, or even behind where I’m at. Thanks to peak tV. 1) The Walking Dead (AMC/AMC Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Frustratingly, no. It’s always bothered me that this show doesn’t feature audio description … Continue reading The too Much TV Roundup

The Too Much TV Roundup

John Stark

You know the drill. There are a ton of streaming services, not to mention actual cable still exists, and it’s hard for one person to cover all my feelings about every single series I’m watching in their own individual post. So here’s a glance at what I watch (slowly, while not binge watching) when I’m not watching movies. Netflix: One of these days I’d like to write about All Of us Are Dead. I’ve heard good things, but I heard good things about Squid Game too back in the day, and tried to start watching that without audio description and … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup

Ascension

John Stark

Documentary Directed By Jessica Kingdon Where I Watched it: Paramount Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: There is no plot.Ascension is a documentary largely centered around life in China, from an observatory standpoint, across many different paths and walks of life. What Works: If you were to visit Epcot at Disney World, you would be able to visit the world showcase, where several of the countries featured have short documentary films representing life in their country. This could (except probably for the sex toy assembly sequence) be one of those films, specifically and obviously for the China pavilion. … Continue reading Ascension

The Too Much TV Roundup

John Stark

Once again, a massive post giving you a glimpse of what I’m watching on TV, because one man doesn’t have the time to watch and review all the content I consume. Netflix: Starting off with a non-recommendation. After three episodes, I gave up on Stay Close. I was really excited for another Netflix adaptation from this author, as I enjoyed The Stranger from two years ago. But, even with the presence of Richard Armitage (who was also in The Stranger), Stay Close has done nothing but push me further away. It’s three and done. I don’t care how this limited … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup

The In Between

John Stark

Starring: Joey King, Kyle Allen, Celeste O’Connor, John Ortiz, and Kim Dickens. Directed By: Arie Posion Where I Watched It: Paramount Plus English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: A teenager (King) wakes up in a hospital room to find out that she survived and her boyfriend (Allen) did not. Soon after, she believes he is trying to contact her from the afterlife, and we get to explore their relationship through a heavy use of flashbacks. What Works: I do want Joey King to be offered the kind of roles befitting her talent. She was so good in Hulu’s limited … Continue reading The In Between

The Too Much TV Roundup

John Stark

With all of the many platforms we have to watch television programs, from regular networks, to cable and premium channels, and a wide array of streaming channels, there has never been this much TV created for our own enjoyment. Starting this week, I plan to offer a glimpse into some of the shows I’m checking out, good or bad. I do not binge shows, so I might not be fully through a show whose entire season dropped at one point, and thanks to the tons of programs I do watch, I might “be behind”. I am watching a lot of … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup

Good Sam (Pilot)

John Stark

Starring: Sophia Bush and Jason Issacs. Where I Watched It: Paramount plus (though it airs on CBS) English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: The Good Sam in this question is a doctor (Bush) who works at the same hospital as her father (Issacs), who is the Chief of Surgery, and the two have a contentious relationship. He’s a brilliant doctor, but she believes she is as well, and he just doesn’t see that. She’s about to leave when (this is not a spoiler) her dad is shot and lands in a coma. While he’s in a coma, she becomes … Continue reading Good Sam (Pilot)
