In Tosh.0 season 9 episode 3, titled "Blind Film Critic," Daniel Tosh welcomes Tommy Edison, the blind film critic, onto his show. Edison, who has been blind since birth, provides a unique perspective on the world of cinema, and Tosh is excited to hear his take on some of the latest flicks.

As they sit down to chat, Tosh asks Edison about his process for reviewing movies. Edison explains that he relies heavily on the dialogue and sound effects to follow the plot, and he pays close attention to the emotions conveyed by the actors' voices. He also uses the descriptions provided by audio descriptions services to fill in any gaps in the visuals.

Tosh then introduces a segment where he shows Edison various movie trailers and asks him to give his opinion based solely on the audio. Edison gamely plays along, offering witty and insightful comments on movies ranging from superhero blockbusters to indie dramas.

Next, Tosh presents Edison with a challenge: he plays a scene from a movie and asks Edison to guess what's happening on screen based on the sound alone. The catch? It's a scene from a silent film. This leads to some hilarious (and surprisingly accurate) guesses on Edison's part, and Tosh can't resist throwing in a few curveballs to keep him on his toes.

Throughout the episode, Tosh and Edison share a playful and respectful rapport. Tosh is clearly impressed by Edison's insights and humor, and Edison praises Tosh's willingness to showcase a diverse range of voices and perspectives on his show.

But the episode isn't all fun and games. Edison also talks about the challenges he's faced as a blind person in the entertainment industry, including the lack of accessible content and the negative stereotypes perpetuated in some movies and TV shows. He discusses his advocacy work and encourages Hollywood to do better.

As the episode comes to a close, Tosh and Edison reflect on their time together and make plans to grab lunch. The audience is left with a newfound appreciation for the power of sound and the importance of inclusivity in entertainment.

Overall, "Blind Film Critic" is a heartwarming and insightful episode that showcases both Daniel Tosh's comedic prowess and Tommy Edison's unique perspective on the world of movies. Fans of Tosh.0 and anyone interested in the intersection of disability and media will find plenty to enjoy.
