Chinatown

John Stark

Where i Watched it: HBo MAX English Audio Description Available?: Not On HBo MAX So, yes, this was an experience. Sometimes, I find a film that I have to track audio description down for, but for Chinatown, this time I basically rigged an experience similar to that of what Spectrum Access provides. I watched this with someone who could see, and I had headphones on playing the audio track at the same time. Timing was nuts, but I got it eventually. It is my first time through Chinatown, and I think my interest peaked because of the Offer. That led … Continue reading Chinatown

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 31st

John Stark

Toward the end of the week, once I’ve watched an episode from all the current shows I’m moving through is when I start to introduce other shows that were on my list to catch up with. I did not make good choices. Some were great, but some may not be around next week. 1) For All Mankind (Apple Plus) English Audio Description?: Yes I know you all don’t know me well enough to know I’ve been a fan since the very beginning, trying to convince people from the start to jump on board. I’m so glad that For All Mankind … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 31st

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 24th

John Stark

I finally got around to starting a few new shows, as well as getting back into Evil (so I’m a little behind this season). But with the new shows, which one managed to top the list? 1) The Orville (Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: Yes Well, I rarely head with a spoiler warning, but we need to talk about this Season premiere. First, it’s been a minute since we’ve had the pleasure of the crew from The Orville after it moved to hulu. Covid delays and such. I’m actually surprised at the amount of people I know watching this. I … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 24th

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 17th

John Stark

It seems like a lot of TV until you realize how many of these are actually half hour shows. 1) Girls5Eva (Peacock) English Audio Description Available?: Yes It takes a lot to dethrone my pick for Best Comedy, something that manages to elude Emmy voters (probably because it’s on Peacock). In the 7th episode, Wiki fell for a Lunch lord who she thought would be her basic whisperer and teach her the ways common folk think. Add to that an always a welcome appearance by Andrew Rannells, and a song that was basically just the girls asking each other if … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 17th

The Too Much TV Roundup- July 3rd

John Stark

Do you ever feel like yesterday was so far away and you’re struggling to remember what you did? One of those mornings, I guess. I started a few shows yesterday. How did they stack up? 1) Only Murders In The Building (Hulu) English Audio Description Available?: Yes The season premiere really set out to remind us that this show is very aware of itself, becoming quite meta. How does one continue into a second season of a podcast like this show? What if Amy Schumer wanted to adapt your story in an 8-10 episode limited series? What if you became … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- July 3rd

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 26th

John Stark

A near perfect day of TV show watching. If only The Offer could nail those impressions. 1) Girls5Eva (Peacock) English Audio description Available?: Yes The Girls take on different challenges, but what gets served up most is now that Summer is single again, her parents are rolling back into town to protect her purity. But, when she learns her parents haven’t always been so… pure, will she keep her pledge? Episode Grade: A 2) Undone (Amazon) English Audio Description Available?: Yes I really enjoyed Season 1, and I just assumed I’d never see it again. Then Amazon stuck with this … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 26th

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 19th

John Stark

Today, I put myself in the position of having to choose between some heavy hitters for the top spot. Let’s just accept that this was a great day for television, for me at least. 1) Hacks (HBO MAX) English Audio Description Available?: Yes In the 4th episode of season,Deborah finds out she’s been booked on a lesbian cruise, which causes her to need to examine her material as she is very aware that lesbians do not like her. After making the effort to have fun, Deborah starts to believe that this might be her community after all, but she still … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 19th

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 12th

John Stark

Admittedly, I’m still catching up on TV shows. Very much so. 1) Girls5Eva (Peacock) English Audio Description: Yes Peacock is on thin ice with me right now. They don’t actually have enough returning shows to get hyped over, as they have a rather small roster. the fact that Girls5Eva hasn’t been already renewed in a multi-season deal is insane. This is the funniest show on any platform. I know Emmy voters aren’t watching, but you should be. The second episode of Season 2 featured Wiki trying to hide one of her feet, because only one of them is perfect apparently. … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 12th

The Too Much TV Roundup- June 5th

John Stark

Always keeping it interesting by throwing a different mixture of shows against each other. Who is on top? 1) Girls5Eva (Peacock) English Audio Description Available?: Probably. look, I tried to activate the audio description, but the app was buggy as hell. This show has AD, but because I didn’t personally listen to it, i can’t outright say Yes. But, every time I watch this show, I become more and more convinced that based on laughs per episode, this is the funniest show on television. Any platform. You have to like the nonsensical humor, but if this show is your thing, … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- June 5th

The Too Much TV Roundup- May 29th

John Stark

Surprisingly very little television shows were had. You know, i do other things, right? Here’s a quick rundown of what I thought was the tops. I think that’s an old timey phrase. 1) The Offer (Paramount Plus) English Audio Description Available?: Yes I finally started this limited series about the creation of The Godfather film, and I’m a sucker for movies about movies. That’s probably why I was so surprised when Mank didn’t work for me, because this is a pretty solid sub-genre to throw at me. There is a rather excellent Robert Evans impersonation in here, but really most … Continue reading The Too Much TV Roundup- May 29th
