Josh Reviews Tales of the Jedi
Somehow I hadn’t yet written about one of the best new Star Wars stories in recent memory: Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi! The series was released last spring. I hope it’s the first of many! This series of six short stories (each about 15 minutes in length) tell two interweaving
Catching up with Creed III
In Creed III, we catch up with Adonis Creed as he’s retiring a champion and settling into a pleasant life being a rich and famous celebrity. He’s enjoying his family life with his wife Bianca and his daughter Amara, and he’s become a successful manager and mentor t
Josh Reviews the Animated Justice League: Warworld
Justice League: Warworld is the latest direct-to-DVD/blu-ray DC animated film. I knew that there was a recent extended storyline in the Superman comics about Superman’s being trapped on Warworld, forced to compete in the gladiatorial games there, in an effort to free the impri
Artemis and Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, Author of The Martian!
I loved Andy Weir’s novel The Martian (and I think the film adaptation, directed by Ridley Scott and written by Drew Goddard, is also excellent!), so I thought it was high time I read the two subsequent novels that Mr. Weir has written. First up was Artemis, from 2017. This novel

Yesterday I began my look back at season two of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Read on for my thoughts on the rest of the season, including the crossover with Lower Decks and the surprisingly fun musical episode! 06 — Lost in Translation After seeing Spock and Chapel kiss at t
Josh Reviews Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season Two
Coming off of the excellent Picard season three, I was curious to see if similar improvements would be in evidence for the second season of Strange New Worlds, the prequel series set on Captain Pike’s Enterprise, several years before TOS. Many critics, as well as my friends who ar
News Around the Net!
This Paramount+ Star Trek ad, saluting the history of the franchise, is pretty spectacular. Ok, there’s a little too much modern Trek in here, but this is surprisingly well-edited, with some lovely deep cuts from the history of the franchise (Captain Sulu! The original animate
Josh Reviews Oppenheimer
A new Christopher Nolan movie is always exciting to me. I’ve been a huge fan ever since Memento. Some of his movies rank among my favorite films ever, such as The Prestige and The Dark Knight. I was surprised that I so disliked his most recent film, Tenet. Yet I remained

In Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his allies Luther (Ving Rhames), Benji (Simon Pegg) and Ilsa (Rebecca Ferguson) find themselves the world’s last hope against an AI system nicknamed “the Entity” that has been spreadi
