Josh Reviews Tales of the Empire
There’s an enormously enjoyable animated corner of the Star Wars universe that many Star Wars fans know little about, but which has given me tremendous enjoyment over the years. The animated Clone Wars show started off wobbly but turned into a wonderful show whose final four e
Josh Reviews Invincible Season Two Part Two!
Invincible is a terrific animated series on Amazon Prime Video, adapting the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and illustrated by Cory Walker & Ryan Ottley. The series has what seems like a classic comic-book super-hero premise: Mark Grayson is a college freshman who
Josh Reviews Netflix’s Live-Action Avatar: The Last Airbender
I have never quite understood the instinct to create a live-action version of a beloved animated property. Disney has made this a core of their moviemaking business in recent years, and even when I’ve enjoyed the live-action versions, I’ve never felt they had much reason
Josh Reviews Girls5Eva Season Three!
Girls5Eva centers on the four women who were, briefly, part of a one-hit-wonder girls’ group in 2000. Unfortunately, their song “Quit Flying Planes at My Heart” was released on September 10th, 2001, and that was that. Two decades later, the women decide to reunite and ma
Josh Reviews For All Mankind Season Four
For All Mankind continues to be one of my very favorite current TV shows. I’m overjoyed that it’s made it to four seasons, and I hope we get many more. The series presents an alternate future in which the Soviet Union won the “space race” and landed on the
Josh Reviews Opposable Thumbs: How Siskel & Ebert Changed Movies Forever
I thoroughly enjoyed Matt Singer’s book Opposable Thumbs: How Siskel & Ebert Changed Movies Forever. Siskel & Ebert loom large for me, as they do for so many other movie-loving people of my generation. (And clearly for author Matt Singer, too!) Their show, in its various
Josh Reviews How To with John Wilson Season Three
I was thrilled that the delightfully weird How To with John Wilson returned for a third season of six new episodes, though it was also bittersweet, because it was announced that the show would be ending after this season. While the show might not feel like it has quite that same blast
Josh Reviews What If…? Season Two
I loved reading Marvel’s What If comics as a kid, and I thought it was a super-cool idea that Marvel was creating an animated MCU What If…? show. I thought the first season was solid and very enjoyable to watch, though it didn’t blow me away as much as I’d ho
Josh Reviews Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is a TV show spin-off of Legacy’s interconnected “Monsterverse” movies. The show tells two parallel stories: in the 1950s, we follow scientists Bill Randa and Keiko Miura, along with Colonel Leland Shaw, as they investigate monsters across the globe,
Josh Reviews Reacher Season Two
I enjoyed the first season of Reacher, and I found myself eagerly looking forward to the show’s return. The second season adapted the eleventh Reacher novel by Lee Child, Bad Luck and Trouble. In that story, Reacher gets an S.O.S. from Frances Neagley, a member of his old Ar
