Catching Up on 2015: Josh Reviews Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
Back in December, before finalizing my Best of 2015 lists, I watched a ton of movies, trying to catch up on 2015 films I’d missed. I’ve been writing about them in this “Catching up on 2015” series of blogs, and I believe I have now finally arrived at the last
Catching Up With DC Animation: Bad Blood and Justice League vs Teen Titans
OK, quick summary: I fell in love with Batman: The Animated Series when it first premiered back in the nineties. Bruce Timm and Paul Dini forever defined Batman and so many of his supporting characters for me. I believe that Kevin Conroy is the best actor to ever portray Batman on
Josh Reviews The Spoils of Babylon
How did I miss this?? The Spoils of Babylon is a brilliant, hilarious six-episode IFC mini-series from 2014 that parodies televised “event” mini-series, featuring an extraordinary cast that includes Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, Tobey Maguire, Tom Robbins, Haley Joel Osmen
The Great Hellboy Re-Reading Project Part XIII: The Return of the Master and Hellboy in Hell!
My epic project to re-read Mike Mignola’s complete Hellboy saga from the very beginning rolls on! What began as a series of sporadic mini-series and short-stories featuring the big red occult investigator has deepened over the past twenty years into what is, for my money, the
The Star Trek Saga Continues with Star Trek: Sacraments of Fire
We’re in the midst of one of the longest dry spells of new “official” Star Trek content since the decade between the cancellation of The Original Series in 1969 and the release of Star Trek: The Motion Picture in 1979. In the decade since the cancellation of Star T
Josh Reviews 10 Cloverfield Lane
I feel like 2008’s Cloverfield has been somewhat forgotten and/or dismissed in recent years, but I loved that film when it came out. Back in 2008 I wasn’t yet fed up with J.J. Abrams’ “mystery box” schtick and it was fun going into seeing that movie wit
Josh Reviews Angie Tribeca Season One
Considering that TBS decided to air all ten episodes of the first season of Angie Tribeca on one single day back in January, I suspect the network doesn’t have great confidence in this show. That’s a huge mistake, because Angie Tribeca is a delight, a relentlessly silly
Rogue One and News Around the Net! UPDATED with Doctor Strange Trailer!
I suspect by now you’ve all watched the first teaser trailer for Rogue One, perhaps (like me!) several times: That’s a pretty terrific trailer. Not as instantly iconic as any of the magnificent trailers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but still pretty great. It’
Josh Reviews the BBC Adaptation of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
Over the winter I read Susannah Clarke’s magnificent novel, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. I loved it, and highly recommend reading it. The book tells the story of two magicians attempting to bring magic back to England in the late 1800s. The novel is one of the best ex
The Great Hellboy Re-Reading Project Part XII: Hell on Earth!
My epic project to re-read Mike Mignola’s complete Hellboy saga from the very beginning rolls on! What began as a series of sporadic mini-series and short-stories featuring the big red occult investigator has deepened over the past twenty years into what is, for my money, the
