Josh Reviews War For the Planet of the Apes!
It is a major cinematic miracle that the rebooted Planet of the Apes series is as great as it is. It would be oh so easy to get this series completely wrong. (See: Tim Burton’s Ape Lincoln.) I remain staggered that someone ever had the idea to basically use the fourth film
Catching Up on 2016: Josh Reviews The Lobster
In Yorgos Lanthimos’ film The Lobster, Colin Farrell stars as David. Upon discovering that his wife has left him for another man, David checks into a hotel where single people have 45 days to find a life partner, or else they will be transformed into an animal of their own ch
News Around the Net!
How great is this first trailer for Black Panther? This looks like a fun new direction for a Marvel film to take. I hope they really go crazy in exploring this new corner of the Marvel universe. I loved Creed and I can’t wait to see what director Ryan Coogler has cooked up h
Josh Reviews Silicon Valley Season Two!
I am way behind on Silicon Valley (which is currently airing its fourth season), but after watching season one last month, I quickly plowed ahead into season two. I’m pleased at how smoothly the show entered its second season, maintaining an impressive consistency with the gre

Josh Reviews Master of None Season Two
The wonderful and dearly-missed Parks and Rec made me a big fan of Aziz Ansari, and so I eagerly followed him to Master of None, a show he created (along with Alan Yang) and ran (ditto) and also starred in. I thought the first season was marvelous, funny and heartfelt. It felt adv
Josh Reviews The Revolution Was Televised

Josh Reviews Teen Titans: The Judas Contract
Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is the latest DC Animated direct-to-DVD/blu-ray film. It adapts the famous Judas Contract story-line by Marv Wolfman and George Perez from The New Teen Titans in 1984. In the early eighties, Wolfman and Perez’s Teen Titans was an enormous smas
Josh Reviews Seinfeldia
My love for Seinfeld is deep and vast. I started watching around the time of the show’s fourth season, back in 1992/93. I remember being told that I absolutely had to watch “The Contest.” I liked it, and by the end of that season I was watching regularly. I t
