The long awaited next installment of the Harry Potter as told by a guy that doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. This one was pretty tough particularly without any alcohol. Ashley pretty much carried this one and informed Jordan that several key moments actually take place in other movies. Also there are some Weasley brothers called Bill a…

A great guest this week with Ellie Wallwork! We have covered an episode of Call the Midwife she starred in. She is an actress, a singer, and a Eurovision fan. Also she is blind. She also had a role in the film Imagine which we covered as well as an episode of Doctor Who which we talk about in this episode. This was a ton of fun to record and we hop…

We went to Europe! It's.. Kinda.. We really just watched Eurovision! Which was totally awesome and totally weird. Also when you watch with friends that discuss it becomes surprisingly accessible. This is a pretty good primer for folks that have seen that Will Ferrell movie but don't have any other experience with Eurovision. Also we are super excit…

It's time for Harry potter Again! This time it's the Goblet of Fire. Which is definitely not the Goblin of Fire.

Super special guest episode this week with producer Tony! It's time to ask some questions about accessibility and their experience with movies and games of all kinds.

We finally did it! Scent of a Woman Time! After many requests it's here. Content warning as this film and our episode deal with self harm and suicide. Who the hell knew that Pacino won an Oscar for this? Al Pacino has always looked 100 years old. It's packed full of pretty good confidence advocacy and weird old man aggression. We probably missed so…

Spicy episode for you all this week as we watched an episode of Call the Midwife. It was all about that thing where folks assume the abilities of people with disabilities. I mean what the hell, her own sister tried to get her baby taken away cause she was blind. Gross. Also we are in the middle of the audio description awareness challenge. Use the …

It's Curb time again this week except this time with added artificial blind flavor. We watched a few episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm that featured a blind character. As with most things and us our feelings were mixed.... Some really funny stuff mixed with poor assumptions about what blind folks are capable of. Also don't forget about our interview…

Well it finally happened, we did a whole ass episode on HBO max. Why you ask? Well it's because they got their dicks sued off and were literally forced to give a shit about blind folks. They did a ton of really great things but also completely missed the mark on a few. We had a ton of fun recording this episode but Jordan is being a typical whiny b…

We are all over the place this week! It's a party because the ladies over at HBO actually pulled through with the audio description being added to their service. This excitement carried through the episode, not that it takes much for Jordan to yell into the microphone. We also watched and talked about a movie, Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights.…

Well this episode got a bit more serious than either of us expected, even though the movie was really great. Some great actors from Parks an and Recreation fame are in our movie this week called My Blind Brother. We explore several of the common blind struggles and tropes in this one. Asking for help is difficult, not knowing the motives of folks a…

Alright y'all it's a bit of an anniversary episode this week as guide dog Frisco came into Jordan's life three years ago this month. For this episode, we watched the film Pick of the Litter. The movie covers a litter of pups moving through their process of becoming guide dogs at Guide Dogs for the Blind. We had a ton of fun watching and recording t…

A bit of a weird one this week with a film that most of you probably can't watch. If we find a way for y'all to see it we will definitely share it. Join us at a blind school where we learn a little about sighted folks trying to tell blind folks how to live. You might guess this inspired some yelling from Jordan. We also touch on a guest spot we wil…

I'll bet y'all forgot there was a blind kid in Dumb and Dumber. Well, leave it to us to remind you. While we were both quite familiar with this national treasure already, it was still a super fun episode. Which of us is more Harry and more Lloyd? Also could they have put even one attractive person in this movie? Jordan is not a fan of "90s" hot gir…

It's ya bois, back at it week after week. We have a bit of a shorty for you this week BUT we have a guest in the studio for the first time ever. One of our avid listeners chats with us about In The Dark and her experience dating a blind guy in her younger days. We discuss several talents that blind folks seem to share and maybe some not so good tra…

Well this has been a long time coming, it's time for In The Dark. Stop reading this and go watch the first episode of this show. We've heard so much about it and were absolutely surprised by it. Being rude as a blind person is cool again. We are finally moved in to our new home and trying to minimize the chaos, we hope to be in better social media …

What up, it's ya Bois, the hot blind guy and the funny gal. We back as absolute super heroes. We are both using Jordan's improved hearing and sense of smell to go off on a 40 minute tangent at the beginning of this episode. Strip clubs! Hot insurrectionists! Eventually they talk about Daredevil, the show. The kids are voracious readers, check their…

See! Is the name of this Apple TV show we watched. Like holy heck it's a world full of blind folks. We also talk about using polite words vs angry words when advocating for yourself and Others.

BAM! Season two coming at you. We recorded this episode in international waters so we can't be prosecuted. Also it's Step Brothers in case you didn't catch the references. This episode is mostly about why the hell there is the weird blind guy joke. Or is it a joke? We really aren't sure. Also covered is the importance of caring for vintage Playboys…

"Con" means convict this week with our long haired beauty in Con Air. Jordan was very surprised by the number of huge stars in this one. He fully endorses this one as "star studded". It may or may not be Ashley's favorite Nic Cage ever, don't judge her. We also found some audio description for once, outside of the service we streamed it on. This ep…

Jordan and Ashley are confident men this week with another cage classic flick, Matchstick Men. They learn to scam members of the public and tell you how you can do this too. An episode wouldn't be complete without a side of Nic freaking out in a film. We are also critical of the writing and its adherence to the DSM -5. Blind content this week inclu…

The gang is back at it getting more political than ever before... That is to say hardly political in our Cage film for the week Guarding Tess. In this flick, Nick is a secret service agent and some lady (Shirley MacLaine) as the former first lady. We both spent some time trying to decide if this was a comedy or drama (listen and find out) We also i…

We put on our super suits this week and jumped into Kick Ass. What the hell was our problem not seeing this when it came out? This was actually reasonably easy to follow without audio description.

8mm is the film this week starring your main man Nic Cage. There was no avoiding a penis joke. Trigger warning for extreme violence, self harm, extreme sexual violence.

Coming at you with some bees this week. The much discussed the remake of the 1973 Wicker Man.

Well blind twins actually. We also chat about people fir…

It’s here! We finally experienced the cinematic masterpiece that is G-Force.

Listen along as we run through our most action packed film yet, Face/Off turned out to be even crazier than Ashley could have imagined.

We continue the spooky theme with this week's title, The Frozen Ground, staring Nicolas Cage (of course), John Cusack, Vanessa Hudgens, 50 Cent (with a mullet), and Hank from Breaking Bad.
