Josh Reviews Lanterns
Lanterns is an eight-episode HBO Max TV show; it’s the newest installment in the still-burgeoning new DCU overseen by James Gunn and Peter Safran. (So far, this new DCU has consisted of Creature Commandos, Superman, the second season of Peacemaker, and Supergirl.) Lanterns was
Josh Reviews The Center Seat II: 60 Years of Star Trek
Five years ago, in celebration of the fifty-fifth anniversary of Star Trek, Brian Volk Weiss’ Nacelle Company released The Center Seat, a phenomenal eleven-part documentary that explored the history of the Star Trek franchise. I loved every minute! It was thorough, filled with i
Josh Reviews Reacher Season Four
At the start of Reacher season four, the titular lone hero is riding on a subway in Philadelphia when he spots a woman on the train who checks all the boxes of a potential suicide bomber. Reacher steps in to intervene, which starts a chain of events that winds up with him being purs
Josh Reviews X-Men ’97 Season Two
Back in 2024, X-Men ’97 was one of my favorite surprises of the year! I’d watched the original X-Men animated series from the nineties, but I was never all that taken with it. So I wasn’t sure, at first, if I was interested in watching the revival on Disney+. I
Josh Reviews The Bear Season Five
The Bear season five brings the show to a strong, satisfying conclusion. Even today, when it’s more common for shows to end in the time and manner of their creators’ choosing (as opposed to when I was younger, when most shows were either cancelled before their time, or dragged o
Josh Reviews The Punisher: One Last Kill
One of the many things that disappointed me in Daredevil: Born Again season two was the complete absence of Frank Castle, the Punisher. When I heard that Marvel was releasing a special one-shot Punisher special immediately after the end of Born Again season two, I assumed the specia
Josh Reviews Daredevil: Born Again Season Two
Season one of Daredevil: Born Again wasn’t nearly as strong as I’d hoped it would be, but I think I gave it a pass, despite its failings, because of how delighted I was by the idea of fully incorporating the Netflix Daredevil show and characters into the MCU. I also knew
Josh Reviews Rooster Season One
Rooster is the latest series co-created by TV genius Bill Lawrence (Scrubs, Ted Lasso, Shrinking) and Matt Tarses (who was a producer on Scrubs, as well as Sports Night). The show stars Steve Carell as Greg Russo, the author of a series of popular adventure novels about a character
Josh Reviews Star Wars: Maul: Shadow Lord
I really enjoyed The Mandalorian and Grogu, though sneakily I think the best recent Star Wars project was the ten-episode animated series Maul: Shadow Lord! Maul is an interesting character, because fans who have only seen the live-action movies still probably just know him as a minor
Josh Reviews the Scrubs Revival!
I was a fan of Scrubs from the very beginning. I loved it in its prime, I’d say through the first four or five seasons. In the later years I felt its charms started to wane, but I followed and enjoyed it all the way through, including the move from NBC to ABC for the [&helli
