Josh Reviews Star Wars Rebels Season One
The first twelve episodes of the first season of Star Wars Rebels were entertaining, good-not-great pieces of all-ages fun. The thirteenth and final episode of the first season was terrific and really made me sit up and take notice, and I started to get excited for the potential of
Josh Reviews Agent Carter: Season One
I had high hopes for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. when it launched last year. The idea of a Marvel TV show was of course of interest to me, but what really excited me was that, as opposed to the various DC Comics superhero shows over the years, this new Marvel TV show would be set in [&he
Josh Bids Farewell to Parks and Recreation
Last week Parks and Recreation signed off after seven pretty fantastic seasons. I can’t believe how sad I am that the show is over. It has hugely grown on me over the years, to the point that it is now one of my very favorite TV comedies of all time. I barely made it through
“Of my friend, I can only say this…”
After reading of Leonard Nimoy’s passing, I knew I needed to watch some Star Trek. Star Trek II was too painful to consider. I thought about watching Trek III or Trek IV, both of which were so marvelously directed by Mr. Nimoy. I thought about Trek VI, which is probably my

Josh Reviews Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
I had read that DC was planning on creating a new continuity amongst some of their animated films (while still continuing to release some one-shot, stand-on-their-own films like Assault on Arkham) that would parallel the newly-relaunched “New 52” DC Universe in the comics.
Josh Reviews Selma
Selma, directed by Ava DuVernay, tells the story of several critical months in the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, leading up to the voting rights marches from Montgomery to Selma that took place March 7-25, 1965. This is a powerhouse of a film, absolutely riveting. The film wisely
Josh Reviews Inherent Vice
Inherent Vice is a wonderful film, funny and engaging, a gloriously bizarre journey through a world of drugs and crime and real estate (and dentistry) in 1970’s Los Angeles. Adapted from a novel by Thomas Pynchon (which I now desperately want to read), the film was written and d
The Great Hellboy Re-Reading Project Part IV: The Conquerer Worm
I have recently begun an epic project: re-reading Mike Mignola’s complete Hellboy saga from the very beginning! What began as a series of sporadic mini-series and short-stories featuring the big red occult investigator has deepened over the past twenty years into what is, for
News Around the Net
This is a great article revisiting Stephen King’s final three Dark Tower novels. I absolutely adore these books, and I am not at all in the camp of Dark Tower fans unsatisfied with the ending of Mr. King’s magnum opus. I spent quite a while reading and writing about th
