Josh Reviews Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham
Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham is the latest direct-to-blu-ray DC animated film. It’s based on the three-issue mini-series from 2000/2001, written by Mike Mignola (creator of Hellboy) and Richard Pace, penciled by Troy Nixey and inked by Dennis Janke. The story mixes B
Josh Reviews Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3
Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 is a magnificent film, fun and funny and thrilling and heartbreaking. I don’t think I could have asked for a better conclusion to writer/director James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy and his association (at least for now) with Marve
Josh Reviews B’Twixt Now and Sunrise: The Authentic Cut
I never saw Francis Ford Coppola’s 2011 horror film Twixt. I remember being intrigued by the idea that Mr. Coppola had written and directed a horror film with some 3D sequences. And I’d read that he had some wild ideas about taking the film on tour and doing a live re-
Josh Reviews A Man Called Otto
Tom Hanks stars as the titular Otto in A Man Called Otto, a film adapted from the novel A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. Otto is a grumpy old man, who seems to have taken it upon himself to be the enforcer of all rules and regulations on his gated street. He seems to […
Happy First Birthday to José and the Pirate Captain Toledano!

Josh Reviews Star Trek: Picard: Season Three — Part Two!
I enjoyed the first half of Star Trek: Picard season three, and the second half did not disappoint. I am so impressed at how completely they turned around this show. I strongly disliked the first two seasons of Picard, but new show-runner Terry Malalas and his team did an incredible
Josh Reviews The Mandalorian Season Three — Part Two!
On Monday I began my in-depth look back at The Mandalorian season three! Let’s continue with the second half of the season: Episode 05: “The Pirate” For the first chunk of this episode, I thought we were getting another installment without our main characters (Din,
Josh Reviews The Mandalorian Season Three
After a way-too-long two year hiatus, The Mandalorian returned with an eight-episode third season that I thought was a tremendous amount of fun (even though I admit it didn’t quite deliver everything I’d hoped for). This was an unusual season of television, with lots of tw
Star Trek: The Brave and the Bold
The Brave and the Bold is a two-novel duology, written by Keith R.A. DeCandido, back in 2002. Mr. DeCandido is one of my favorite authors of Star Trek novels (I’m sad that he no longer writes Trek books!!), and this story is an incredibly fun cross-over story that spans what at t
