News Around the Net: June, 2026
Last summer, when I first saw that “one year out” teaser for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, that seemed so far in the future! But now the movie is almost upon us. This phenomenal new trailer has me pumped: This solid new trailer for Lanterns definitely has me i
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 Mandalorian and Grogu
Star Wars returns to the big screens (seven years after the disappointing The Rise of Skywalker) with The Mandalorian and Grogu, which picks up after the three seasons of The Mandalorian on Disney+ and presents a new, stand-alone adventure. The film was directed by Jon Favreau, and

News Around the Net: Ted Lasso Season Four Trailer & More!
Let’s jump right in with the biggest news: a trailer and release date for Ted Lasso season four!!! That’s a great trailer, and I am excited for this show to return. I’m only bummed by some of the absences. I knew that Jamie Tartt probably wouldn’t be in it,
Josh Reviews Mr. Scorsese
Mr. Scorsese is a riveting five-part documentary, directed by Rebecca Miller, that digs deeply into the life and films of master filmmaker Martin Scorsese. In the main titles of each episode, the series is described as “a film portrait”, which I think is a beautiful and
Josh Reviews Shrinking Season Three
Shrinking was great right out of the gate, and it’s only gotten better. This third season was a magnificent season of television, hilarious and sweet and moving, bringing the stories of all of these characters to a deeply satisfying conclusion. (The series has been renewed for a fou
Josh Reviews A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
I fell in love with Game of Thrones right away when I watched season one, and I was a huge fan of the show through to the final season. Yes, there are a lot of weaknesses in those final episodes that went past what George R. R. Martin had written in his books, but there […]
