Josh Reviews the Snyder Cut of Justice League!
Let’s start here: I’m a Zack Snyder fan. I was blown away by his adaptation of 300 when it was released in 2006, and I’m a staunch defender of his adaptation of Watchmen (especially the super-long “Ultimate Cut”) which, while flawed, is still a heck of

I vividly remember discovering The Ren & Stimpy Show, back when it first started airing on Nickelodeon in 1991. I was already a huge animation fan, but this hilarious, disgusting, absolutely bonkers cartoon blew my mind. I loved it immediately. I watched those initial six ep
Josh Reviews Tenet
I’ve been a huge Christopher Nolan film ever since watching Memento back in 2000. I think that Tenet is the first Nolan film since 2002’s Insomnia that I didn’t see on the big screen. I desperately wanted to, of course, but I didn’t think it wise to go to a
