Josh Reviews Revolver
I’m a huge fan of Guy Ritchie’s first two films: Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels (1998) and Snatch (2000). Mr. Ritchie followed that up with Swept Away in 2o02, which remains the only film Mr. Ritchie has directed that I haven’t seen. It was brutally panned
Josh Reviews The Last Blockbuster
The Last Blockbuster is a documentary film, directed by Taylor Morden and written & produced by Zeke Kamm, that chronicles the rise and fall of the once-ubiquitous video rental company Blockbuster Video. It also shines a light on the very last Blockbuster that is still open and

Josh Reviews Obi-Wan Kenobi
Ewan McGregor’s performance as Obi-Wan Kenobi was one of my favorite aspects of the Star Wars prequel films (films that I otherwise tmostly disliked). But I loved Mr. McGregor’s depiction of a young Obi-Wan, particularly in Episode III, when Obi-Wan was at the height of
Josh Reviews Hacks Season Two
I quite enjoyed the first season of Hacks, which was created by Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky. The show centered on the unlikely, oil-and-water pairing of Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), a Las Vegas stand-up comic who had been a star for decades, and Ava (Hannah Einbin
Josh Reviews Tucker: The Man and his Dream
I’ve been having fun watching several of the films that Francis Ford Coppola directed in the eighties that I’d never before seen! (Please click here for my review of The Outsiders, click here for my review of Rumble Fish, and click here for my review of The Cotton Club:
Josh Reviews Severance Season One
In Severance, Adam Scott (Party Down, Parks and Recreation) stars as Mark, a man who has chosen to undergo the “severance” procedure for his mysterious job at Lumon Industries. The severance procedure splits his brain, so that the Mark who works for the company from nine
