Josh Reviews the Animated Justice League: Warworld
Justice League: Warworld is the latest direct-to-DVD/blu-ray DC animated film. I knew that there was a recent extended storyline in the Superman comics about Superman’s being trapped on Warworld, forced to compete in the gladiatorial games there, in an effort to free the impri
Artemis and Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, Author of The Martian!
I loved Andy Weir’s novel The Martian (and I think the film adaptation, directed by Ridley Scott and written by Drew Goddard, is also excellent!), so I thought it was high time I read the two subsequent novels that Mr. Weir has written. First up was Artemis, from 2017. This novel
Josh Reviews Babylon 5: The Road Home
I’m a big fan of Babylon 5! While I always was more of a Star Trek fan, and I preferred Deep Space Nine over B5 in the battle of the nineties sci-fi shows set on space stations, I have tremendous respect and affection for what J. Michael Straczynski created with Babylon 5. His “

Josh Reviews Oppenheimer
A new Christopher Nolan movie is always exciting to me. I’ve been a huge fan ever since Memento. Some of his movies rank among my favorite films ever, such as The Prestige and The Dark Knight. I was surprised that I so disliked his most recent film, Tenet. Yet I remained

In Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his allies Luther (Ving Rhames), Benji (Simon Pegg) and Ilsa (Rebecca Ferguson) find themselves the world’s last hope against an AI system nicknamed “the Entity” that has been spreadi
Josh Reviews Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
Quick run-down of my feelings on the Indiana Jones series: the original Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of my all-time favorite movies, and I also have enormous love for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I have a lot of fondness for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, though I
