That is excellent. That is fairly new. When I bought the Martian, which I'll have to go find the exact date, but that was not the case. However, I had talked with a senior advisor at the time about something else and mentioned that when reading the description, The Martian did not say that it was audio described, and at that time, there were only 5 movies that came up when searching for any of those terms, he said he had been hearing about that from quite a few people. So, Apple must have finally done something about it. That is great! Thanks, Richard
