Josh Reviews Stranger Things Season Four (Part 2)
Netflix released the fourth season of Stranger Things in an unusual manner. The first seven episodes dropped in May (click here for my review), but we had to wait until July to get the final two episodes. But those final two episodes were jam-packed. Episode eight was an hour an
Josh Reviews Top Gun: Maverick
Decades after the events of the original Top Gun, Maverick is working as a test pilot and still brazenly disobeying orders he doesn’t agree with. On the verge of being bounced out of the Navy, his old friend Iceman, now an Admiral, tasks Maverick with returning to Top Gun as a
Star Trek: The Next Generation: Reunion
Back in 1991, one of the very first Star Trek: The Next Generation hardcover novels published by Pocket Books was Michael Jan Friedman’s Reunion. I remember this being an exciting event at the time, because the novel fleshed out the backstory of Captain Picard’s time on the Sta

Josh Reviews All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records
Colin Hanks’ 2015 documentary All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records is a loving look back at the history and impact of the record store franchise. I’ve been interested in watching this film for years. I have fond memories of the iconic Tower Records
Josh Reviews Better Call Saul Season Six (Part One)!
It’s been a long, pandemic-extended wait for the final season of Better Call Saul! The first seven episodes aired in April-May, and thankfully they aren’t making us wait too long for the final six episodes (the first of which is airing the day this blog post goes live)!
