So, I caught up with the Season Premiere of High Potential, which I was disappointed to find out was using the same AD team as last year.

That’s the big question driving the second episode of Task. This remains an ensemble piece, despite the presence of Mark Ruffalo in the lead role, and is slowly building out this crime drama. we learn more about the thieves from the last episode, as well as the “community” they stole from. Solid audio description … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/15/25

I should have had access to this on Sunday, as part of my AMC Plus subscription through my Prime channel add on, like every other Walking Dead spinoff. Instead, it wasn’t there. Going back and forth with AMC and Amazon, … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/11/25

Mind you, … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/05/25

The Runarounds- I’m glad I got to this quickly. So, if you are interested in The Runarounds, DO NOT stay for the preview of the season that runs at the end. I’ve never seen such a spoiler laden thing in my life. It’s ridiculous. it is one of those “this season on The runarounds”, but everything they showed had a far different tone than the … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 09/02/25

So, this is Death Takes A holiday, but in the way Neil Gaiman would do it. It was cute. Inconsequential, but cute. The audio … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/28/25

First, we seem to have completely written off Xavier, which is random, but they do give a reason. In his place, Pugsley is now being given WAY more screentime, and I really wish … Continue reading The Small Screen Diaries: 08/06/25

Sausage Party: A Second Look

Yes, I’ve reviewed this film before. The great thing about maintaining a website this long is that someone can look back and see what I initially wrote about Sausage Party. with the release of the new Amazon series Sausage Party: Foodtopia, I took the advantage of Sausage party being on Netflix, with audio description, to watch and see how the audio description holds up and compares. Also, is this film still funny? I do want to type this part out. It’s important. This film stars the vocal talents of: Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Edward Norton, Salma … Continue reading Sausage Party: A Second Look

Dumb Money

Where I Watched It: Apple VOD (iTunes) English Audio Description Provided By The Media Access Group Narrated By: Ingir Tudor Cast: Paul Dañó, Seth Rogen, America Ferrera, Shailene Woodley, Anthony Ramos, Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio, Sebastian Stan, Dane DeHaan, and Olivia Thirlby. Written By: Lauren Shukart-Blum Directed By: Craig Gillespie The immediate and obvious comparison that I’m sure comes to everyone’s mind is The Big Short. Take the housing collapse of 2008, expose it, and explain it so anyone in the audience can understand the ins and outs. It’s one of the reasons The big Short did so well with … Continue reading Dumb Money

The Too Much TV Roundup- 12/06/23

Not a ton of new TV news, but I did see that MAX is slating Season 3 of And Just Like That for 2025. So, all you SATC fanatics have to find something else to do in 2024. 1) Bodies (Netflix) English Audio Description?: Yes Status: Limited Still a very complex series. I realized one of the timelines is in the future, and that wasn’t even the weirdest part. They think they might know whose body it is, so one of the detectives in one of the timelines drops a cool end to the episode. Honestly, it’s just a ton … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- 12/06/23
