Star Trek: Typhon Pact: The Struggle Within
I enjoyed this summer’s solid-though-not-spectacular Star Trek Beyond, but for me, for the past decade-plus most of the best Star Trek has been of the unofficial kind. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed many of the Star Trek fan films that are being made (fan films that sadly remai
Josh Reviews HBO’s Confirmation
HBO’s movie Confirmation brings to life the story of Clarence Thomas’ 1991 confirmation hearings to replace Thurgood Marshall on the U.S. Supreme Court, and Anita Hill’s allegations that Judge Thomas had sexually harassed her when they worked together at the departme
The Winds of Winter: Josh Reviews Season Six of Game of Thrones!
I am hideously late in posting this review, but I had a lot to say about season six of Game of Thrones. First and foremost, while I have read a lot of criticism of this season online, I found season six to be thrilling, with the show as good as it has ever been if […]
Josh Reviews Suicide Squad
Following the disappointment of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, a movie that I found to be overly dour and grim and dull (and, even more problematically, filled with almost nonsensical plotting and paper-thin characters), I thought Suicide Squad looked like a breath of fresh air f

Josh Reviews Paul Feig’s Rebooted Ghostbusters!
Let’s cut right to the chase: the original Ghostbusters is one of the all time great movies, definitely in my top ten. Paul Feig’s rebooted Ghostbusters can’t hold a candle to the original. But this new film is still a ton of fun, very funny and very enjoyable fr
Josh Reviews Independence Day: Resurgence
I distinctly remember the experience of seeing Independence Day in a movie theatre, twenty years ago. That film was a triumph of marketing, and I was super-pumped to see what had been hyped as a big-budget sci-fi epic. I was somewhat disappointed by the finished product, particula
