Want to loose an hour of your life? Spend some time reading through the comments section of this article that poses the question: what is the single best episode of any genre TV show ever? I don’t agree with all the responses, of course, but I agree with a LOT of ’em&#
Josh Reviews the Newly-Released Complete Soundtrack of Star Trek: Insurrection
With the recent release of the complete score for Star Trek: Insurrection, we are very close to having available the complete scores of every single Star Trek film. I have been gobbling up these CD releases! As happened with the releases of the scores for Star Trek: Generations an
From the DVD Shelf: Drive (2011)
I missed Drive when it was released in 2011, but I was intrigued by everything I read about it and it’s a film that I’ve been hoping for some time to catch up to. Ryan Gosling plays the enigmatic driver at the center of the film. (His character is never named in the movi
Josh’s Thoughts on the Pilot Episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.!
Well, this past week the much-hyped premiere episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. finally arrived! (That is a lengthy title, and I think for simplicity’s sake I will just be referring to the show as Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. from here on in.) I am excited and intrig

Josh Reviews The Newsroom Season Two
The two-hour finale of The Newsroom season two, “Election Night” Parts I & II, were in my opinion probably as good as the show has ever been in its two short seasons on HBO (ten episodes in season one, only nine in season two). This is good news and bad, as on the on
Josh Reviews Elysium
I was blown away by District 9, Neill Blomkamp’s directorial debut (which he also wrote). (Click here for my original review.) That film — and Mr. Blomkamp himself — felt to me like it came out of nowhere. I was dazzled by its combination of visual effects spec
Josh Reviews Larry David’s Clear History
I don’t know why I didn’t watch Larry David’s HBO film Clear History the second it first aired on HBO. Maybe the generic ads, or the even more generic title, neither of which gave me any idea of what the film was actually about? But I knew I couldn’t resist
Star Trek Enterprise: Rise of the Federation
I thought the post-finale series of Star Trek: Enterprise books was finished. Written exclusively by Andy Mangels & Michael A. Martin (and, in the later books, by Mr. Martin solo), this post-finale Enterprise series had gotten off to a great start. They cleverly undid the stupid

This is an old clip (it’s from 2012), but I just saw it for the first time and loved it: a revival of “Who’s on First” with Jimmy Fallon, Billy Crystal, and Jerry Seinfeld! This made me laugh a LOT. Ladies and gentlemen: Good Will Batman. This is an interes
