Exploring Ridley Scott’s Legend
I’m a huge Ridley Scott fan. Several of his movies are among my favorite movies of all time (Alien, Blade Runner) and he has a long list of other movies that I love a LOT (The Martian, Gladiator, the extended version of Kingdom of Heaven, etc.). And yet, in Mr. Scott’s
Josh Reviews Modern Love Season Two
I enjoyed the first season of Modern Love, the Amazon Prime anthology series based on the New York Times column of the same name. As was the case in the first season, each episode of this eight-episode second season adapts a specific Modern Love column. Each episode tells the s

Josh Reviews Prey
Did I… did I just actually watch a great Predator sequel?? I almost can’t believe it! Predator is one of several sci-fi franchises for which I have a lot of affection, but which has been floundering for decades with one less-than-successful sequel after another. (IR
Josh Reviews Better Call Saul Season Six (Part Two)!
It’s incredibly hard to end a long-running TV show well. The list of truly great final seasons, and season finales, is very short. (About a decade ago, I made a list of some of my favorite series finales. It’s probably time to update that!) Many shows I’ve lo
Josh Reviews Stranger Things Season Four (Part 2)
Netflix released the fourth season of Stranger Things in an unusual manner. The first seven episodes dropped in May (click here for my review), but we had to wait until July to get the final two episodes. But those final two episodes were jam-packed. Episode eight was an hour an

Decades after the events of the original Top Gun, Maverick is working as a test pilot and still brazenly disobeying orders he doesn’t agree with. On the verge of being bounced out of the Navy, his old friend Iceman, now an Admiral, tasks Maverick with returning to Top Gun as a
