Josh Reviews the Director’s Cut of The X-Files: I Want to Believe
Sigh, The X-Files! I started watching The X-Files towards the end of its first season, back in early 1994. I fell in love with the show immediately, and for a number of years I thought it was the best show on television, getting better and better every year as the show’s mytho
Josh Checks out the Extra Scenes in Avengers Endgame: Encore!
I love revival screenings and the opportunity to see classic older movies back on the big screen. That said, I wasn’t originally planning to go see Avengers Endgame: Encore, Marvel’s re-release of Endgame as part of the lead-up to Doomsday. While I had a blast seeing E
Josh Reviews Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender
I’d spent years hearing from friends about how wonderful the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender was. During Covid, my kids and I watched the show together, and we thought it was great!! I loved the characters and the world-building in this delightfully rich fantasy w

Josh Reviews Spider-Man: Brand New Day
A lot of online ink has been spilled in recent years over the decline of the MCU, but then here comes Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is not only a terrifically entertaining new installment, but also one that is crushing it at the box office, posting Endgame-like numbers. Both of w
Josh Reviews The Odyssey
The Odyssey is yet another triumph by Christopher Nolan, who is without question one of our greatest masters of cinema. Mr. Nolan makes it look so easy! With the exception of Tenet (which I found to be incomprehensible), I have loved all of his films, and I consider several of the
Josh Reviews Toy Story 5
One could be forgiven for assuming that Toy Story 5 might not be worth your time. It’s the FIFTH sequel to a film that was made almost thirty years ago (back in 1995). And yet, I am here to tell you that Toy Story 5 is another stone cold masterpiece from the fine folks at [&he
