Star Trek: The Weight of Worlds
I have been catching up with a number of stand-alone Star Trek novels telling stories from Captain Kirk’s era that had been sitting unread — for far too long! — on my bookshelf! After reading Greg Cox’s novel The Rings of Time, I moved on to Mr. Cox’s nex
Catching Up On 2018: Josh Reviews Lez Bomb
Jenna Laurenzo wrote, directed, and stars in the film Lez Bomb. She plays a young woman, Lauren, who is planning on coming out to her parents when she is home with them for Thanksgiving. But as the various family members arrive for the Thanksgiving meal, one event after another k
Josh Bids Farewell to Catastrophe!
Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s brilliant, brutally funny series Catastrophe gripped me from the very first episode. And now, after four short but nearly perfect seasons, it’s gone, way too soon to suit me. I miss it already!! The series was created and is overseen by
Josh Reviews Star Trek: Discovery “Project Daedalus” and “The Red Angel”
Here are my thoughts on the most recent two episodes of Star Trek: Discovery season two. Episode 9: “Project Daedalus” — The set-up of this episode is just terrible and had me repeatedly rolling my eyes. But then, out of nowhere, the last fifteen-to-twenty minutes
Josh Reviews William Goldman’s Which Lie Did I Tell? More Adventures in the Screen Trade
I thoroughly enjoyed William Goldman’s 1982 memoir Adventures in the Screen Trade (click here for my review), and so as soon as I’d finished it I dove into Mr. Goldman’s 2000 follow-up: Which Lie Did I Tell? More Adventures in the Screen Trade. This sequel is every
Late to the Party: Josh Reviews Atlanta Season One!
I’ve read a lot about how great Donald Glover’s show Atlanta was, but I never found the time to check it out. But it’s stayed on my to-watch list, and I am delighted to have finally gotten a chance to watch the first season. It’s as fantastic as I’d
News Around the Net!
I have watched this most recent trailer for Avengers: Endgame a lot: I love the nostalgia-focused first half of the trailer, with well-used clips and soundbites from previous films. (They really tease fans with that Peggy Carter audio!! That’s from a previous film, but my he
Catching up with the Marvel Cinematic Universe After Captain Marvel!
I have had three different people come to me in the past few days with the exact same question. They’d seen Captain Marvel and loved it, but they’d never seen a single other Marvel movie. Excited by Captain Marvel (and the Avengers: Endgame tease at the end of the fi
Josh Bids Farewell to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt!
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Tina Fey’s 30 Rock nearly as much as I did. (That first season, it was Aaron Sorkin’s Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip that was the “behind-the-scenes at an SNL-like show” that I was most interested in. But Studio 60 was gone
Josh Reviews Star Trek: Discovery “Light and Shadows” and “If Memory Serves”
We’re at the midpoint of season two of Star Trek: Discovery. I’ve been enjoying these episodes a lot more than I did season one, so that’s encouraging. (Though the episodes are still burdened by a stunning disregard for Star Trek continuity and frequently lazy st
