Josh Reviews Stranger Things Season Five
It’s always hard to end a TV show. The audience has years of expectations and anticipation that they put onto a series finale, which is hard under any circumstances for the reality of one episode of TV to match. But it can be done. One of my earliest blogs for this website

Josh Basks in the Glory of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair!
I’ve always loved the two-part theatrical versions of Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill, released in 2003 & 2004. I think Volume 1 in particular is one of Mr. Tarantino’s best films! And yet (or maybe because of that fact), I’ve always longed to someday see
Josh Reviews Another Simple Favor
Paul Feig’s 2018 film A Simple Favor was a joyously pleasant surprise to me. I wasn’t sure I’d be interested in seeing Mr. Feig directing a twisty murder mystery — as opposed to his wonderful comedies such as Bridesmaids, The Heat, and Spy — and for th
