Josh Reviews Show Me A Hero
Is there a greater master of television working today than David Simon? Had he never done anything else of consequence after the triumph that was The Wire (and seriously, if anyone reading these words has never watched that show, you really need to drop everything and remedy that im
Josh Reviews Justice League: Gods and Monsters
For many years, Bruce Timm was the mastermind behind Warner Brothers’ Animation’s wonderful DC Universe superhero shows. But in the past few years he has stepped away from the currently-running line of direct-to-DVD/blu-ray movies, to what I feel is the detriment of the
Josh Reviews Kevin Pollak’s Misery Loves Comedy
As I have written about multiple times, I am a huge fan of Kevin Pollak’s amazing podcast Kevin Pollak’s Chat Show, in which Mr. Pollak sits down for extended (and I mean extended — most of the interviews are about two hours long) conversations with comedians and act
Star Trek Continues: “Divided We Stand”
I must confess that I don’t have high hopes for the third rebooted Star Trek film that is currently in production. But thankfully the Star Trek spirit is being kept alive on-line by groups of committed Trek fans. The fan-made series Star Trek Continues is back with their fif

Josh Reviews Orange is the New Black: Season 3
The first season of Orange is the New Black was a delight, a show that felt hugely original and stuffed full of wonderful, complex characters. The main hook of that first season was the journey of Piper, a relatively ordinary upper middle-class white woman who suddenly found herself
Late to the Party: Josh Reviews Breaking Bad Season Four
I started watching Breaking Bad a few weeks after its series finale aired, and I’ve been slowly catching up ever since. Click here for my review of season one, here for my review of season two, and here for my review of season three. I found season four to be very strong, buil
Josh Reviews Black Mass
Black Mass tells the story of Jimmy “Whitey” Bulger, the Boston crime boss who, for twenty years, was allowed to operate and consolidate power in Boston by the local branch of the FBI because of Bulger’s secret role as an FBI informant, helping the FBI work against t
Josh Reviews Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp
David Wain and Michael Showalter’s cult classic film Wet Hot American Summer is not a film for which I ever expected to see a sequel made. The film did not succeed upon its theatrical release back in 2001. But then a strange thing happened, which sometimes occurs with films wh
