The ADNA Presents: The Movie Lover Who Doesn't Give Up: John Stark, part 1 2025
Manage episode 501258455 series 2813244
Studios hate him. A blind film critic dropped one review on Rotten Tomatoes and suddenly producers are begging him to reconsider… and he might, if they add audio description in film.
That's power. That's disruption. That's John Stark.
He launched the Blind Film Critic Society with Alex & Lee (because if the Razzies can start in a living room, why can't blind critics start a movement?)
He's now a legit Rotten Tomatoes blind critic. And when he posts? Studios listen. Or panic. Sometimes both.
He's exposing how credits for audio description accessibility are erased. Writers invisible. Narrators uncredited. Audiences cheated. He's calling BS.
And here's the kicker: he's proving exactly how audio description helps blind audiences experience films fully, while showing the industry why ignoring it costs them money, loyalty, and credibility.
This episode slaps. It's not just film reviews with audio description; it's a playbook for shaking an entire industry awake.
