Catching Up With Mike Mignola’s Hellboy!
For over twenty years now, Mike Mignola’s Hellboy comics have been one of my very favorite comic book series. This series has expanded from an occasionally-published series of mini-series and short stories to a vast universe of stories, with multiple interconnected stories chr
Josh Reviews Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond
Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond – Featuring a Very Special, Contractually Obligated Mention of Tony Clifton is a new documentary by Chris Smith that documents Jim Carrey’s process of remaining entirely in-character as Andy Kaufman (as well as Kaufman’s abusive alter-eg
Josh Reviews Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season Three
I fell very quickly in love with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt in its first season. While the show shared a certain comedic rhythm with Tina Fey’s previous show 30 Rock, I loved Kimmy Schmidt for its unique premise, wonderful characters, and, most of all, for Kimmy herself, a wond
Josh Reviews Amazon’s The Tick
I read and loved The Tick way back when the first black and white issues of Ben Edlund’s super-hero parody masterpiece were published in the eighties, and I have followed the big blue goofball’s adventures through both of his two previous TV incarnations, an animated series in the

Wow, I can’t believe Orange is the New Black is already five years old! While I have found the series to be somewhat inconsistent, I have enjoyed the ride, and season five was no exception. The new season picks up seconds after the cliffhanger ending of season four, with Dia
Josh Reviews Vice Principals: Season Two
I quite enjoyed the first season of Danny McBride & Jody Hill’s latest collaboration, Vice Principals. (Mr. McBride starred in Mr. Hill’s first film, The Foot First Way, and the two co-created Eastbound and Down.) That first season chronicled the messed-up partner
Josh Reviews Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season Nine!
I thought for sure that we’d seen the end of Curb Your Enthusiasm, but after a hiatus of six years, the longest break in the series’ history (and the longest break I can think of in between series of a show that was not officially cancelled), lo and behold, we got a ninth season o
Josh Reviews The Disaster Artist
James Franco’s The Disaster Artist chronicles the making of The Room, the 2003 film that is widely regarded as one of the worst movies ever made. The Disaster Artist is based on Greg Sestero and Tom Bissell’s book of the same name, which depicts the unlikely friendsh
Josh Reviews Score: A Film Music Documentary
I love movies, and I love movie scores. I’m not sure when I first started to realize that a part of what I loved about movies was their score; and that, beyond that, it was in fact the score that was a critical element of those movies I loved. It probably began with the Star
