Josh Reviews The Martian
What a refreshing joy it is to get to see an intelligent, original science-fiction story that is also gorgeous to behold and ferociously entertaining. The Martian, directed by Ridley Scott and written by Drew Goddard, adapting the book by Andy Weir, is a triumph, a gripping story abou
Josh Reviews Tim Russ and Walter Koenig’s Return to the Star Trek Universe — Star Trek: Renegades
Though this is a slow period for new “official” Star Trek, there’s a lot of exciting, professional fan-made efforts happening. I’ve written a lot about the two groups working on creating their own new episodes of the Original Series, new adventures of Kirk an

Josh Reviews Orange is the New Black: Season 3
The first season of Orange is the New Black was a delight, a show that felt hugely original and stuffed full of wonderful, complex characters. The main hook of that first season was the journey of Piper, a relatively ordinary upper middle-class white woman who suddenly found herself
