Josh Reviews Shrinking Season Two
I loved the first season of Shrinking, and it’s been a long year-and-a-half wait for the second season! I was a little nervous that they wouldn’t be able to recapture the magic of the first season, but I’m delighted to report that my fears were groundless. This s
Josh Reviews Goodrich
In the opening scene of Goodrich, Andy Goodrich (Michael Keaton) is woken up in the middle of the night to a call from his younger wife, Naomi. She’s booking herself into rehab for 90 days to deal with the prescription drug problem that Andy was too self-absorbed to know she h
Josh Reviews Jim Henson Idea Man
Jim Henson Idea Man is a documentary directed by Ron Howard (Willow, Parenthood, Apollo 13, Frost/Nixon, Solo: A Star Wars Story), exploring the life and work of Jim Henson. This is a beautiful film that shines a well-deserved light on the genius Jim Henson. It’s incredible to
Josh Reviews the Final Season of Star Trek: Lower Decks
When it first launched, I wasn’t sure about Star Trek: Lower Decks. A half-hour animated Star Trek comedy wasn’t exactly what I wanted to see, and while I enjoyed the show from the beginning, I often found myself feeling that the story ideas were so good (such as the bri

Josh Reviews The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season Two
I was somewhat lukewarm on the first season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. I was excited to return to the world of Tolkien, and I was impressed by the production values of the TV series. It looked amazing, with gorgeous props, costumes, and sets, bringing to life an
Josh reviews Gladiator II
It’s hard to make a sequel in the best of circumstances, and when we’re talking about a “legacy” sequel made decades later, it’s especially challenging. All sequels have to find a way to walk the line between recapturing what we loved about the original film and being diff
Josh Reviews Music by John Williams
John Williams is, in my opinion, unquestionably the greatest film composer of all time. Mr. Williams’ music has been a constant companion throughout my life. He has written music that almost everyone on this planet knows: scores for Star Wars and Indiana Jones and Superman a
Josh Reviews Nobody Wants This
Nobody Wants This tells the story of the burgeoning relationship between a rabbi and a non-Jewish woman. The show stars Kristen Bell as Joanne, a smart, funny, independent young woman who co-hosts a podcast all about sex and dating. She is very much not Jewish. The show co-stars
Josh Reviews Conclave
I did not originally think I’d have any interest in a film about a bunch of old men in a room choosing the next Pope. But Conclave, written by Peter Straughan (based on the novel by Robert Harris), directed by Edward Berger, and starring Ralph Fiennes, John Lithgow, Stanley Tu
