Josh Reviews the Amazing Documentary About Star Trek Deep Space Nine: “What We Left Behind”
On Monday night I had the pleasure to see, on the big screen, the extraordinary documentary What We Left Behind, looking back at my favorite of the Star Trek shows, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The documentary was directed by Ira Steven Behr, who was the show-runner of DS9 for most
Josh Reviews Game of Thrones: “The Bells”
Game of Thrones’ penultimate episode came close to greatness, which makes the places where it fell short all the more painful. Let’s dig in. Obviously, SPOILERS below, so for the love of the old gods and the new, don’t read if you haven’t seen the episode!
Josh Reviews the Two-Part Finale of Star Trek: Discovery Season Two: “Such Sweet Sorrow”
Well, I’ll give them some credit, the folks behind Star Trek: Discovery did their best to pull out all the stops for this two-part season finale. There were huge spaceship battles and hand-to-hand combat sequences, there were big emotional moments, and attempts made to not only an

Mike Mignola’s Hellboy is one of my very favorite comic book characters. Over the past 25 years, the comic book universe surrounding this big red paranormal investigator has grown and deepened into a fantastically fun and complex epic-scale saga. The various Hellboy-universe
