Josh Reviews the Powers Novel: The Secret History of Deena Pilgrim
Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming’s terrific comic book series, Powers, follows homicide detectives Walker and Pilgrim in a world of superheroes. After rereading the series last year, I realized that there was one additional piece of Powers material that I hadn̵
Game of Thrones Returns with “Winterfell”
After an almost two years’ wait, Game of Thrones’ six-episode final season has, at long last, begun! I thought this first episode, “Winterfell,” was a fantastic beginning to this final run of episodes. Let’s begin by discussing the gorgeous new openin
Examining the First Star Wars: Episode IX Trailer!
On Friday we got our first peek at footage from Star Wars: Episode IX! It’s a great trailer but a terrible title. Let’s take a look: Wow! I love the trailer but hate the title. “Rise of” anything is just a terrible way to start a title. It’s way overplayed (Ter
News Around the Net
Let’s begin with the upcoming movie that I am most excited to see (OK, after Endgame, I guess): I am so excited to finally see What We Left Behind, a documentary looking back at my favorite of all the Star Trek series: Deep Space Nine! I backed the kickstarter that funded this

Josh Bids Farewell to Catastrophe!
Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s brilliant, brutally funny series Catastrophe gripped me from the very first episode. And now, after four short but nearly perfect seasons, it’s gone, way too soon to suit me. I miss it already!! The series was created and is overseen by
Josh Reviews Star Trek: Discovery “Project Daedalus” and “The Red Angel”
Here are my thoughts on the most recent two episodes of Star Trek: Discovery season two. Episode 9: “Project Daedalus” — The set-up of this episode is just terrible and had me repeatedly rolling my eyes. But then, out of nowhere, the last fifteen-to-twenty minutes
