Josh Reviews Light and Magic: Season Two
I loved the first season of Light and Magic, which came out in 2022, and it was an unexpected pleasure to get a second season this past year! That first season of Light and Magic was a six-episode series on Disney+ that charted the development of Industrial Light & Magic, the spec
Josh Reviews Eyes of Wakanda
Soon after watching Marvel Zombies, I caught up with another 4-episode Marvel animated series from last year: Eyes of Wakanda! This four-episode anthology series presents us with four stories of Wakandan “War Dogs” on dangerous missions at different points in history: defe
Josh Reviews Marvel Zombies
I wasn’t planning to watch this show. It’s a spin-off from Marvel’s animated What If…? show which, though I liked it, I never felt lived up to its potential. And it’s based on the Marvel Zombies comic book series, which never much interested me (even

Josh Reviews Blue Moon
Ethan Hawke stars in Blue Moon as Lorenz Hart, the real-life lyricist who wrote “The Lady is a Tramp,” “My Funny Valentine,” and many other songs, including “Blue Moon”, from which this movie draws its title. Mr. Hart spent years collaborating wit
Josh Reviews Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!
Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man! is pure joy from start to finish. This two-part documentary on HBO Max runs close to four hours long in total, and I could have happily continued to watch many more hours! The film is directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio. I’ve been a
Josh Reviews Public Speaking
After my third (or fourth?) rewatch of Martin Scorsese’s magnificent 2021 HBO mini-series Pretend It’s a City, spotlighting his friend Fran Lebowitz, I decided the time had finally come to watch Public Speaking, the documentary movie about Ms. Lebowitz that Mr. Scorsese ha
