Josh Reviews Shazam!
I missed Shazam! when it was released to theatres last year. I’d been burned out on one bad DC/Warner Brothers live-action movie after another, and while this one looked interesting, I didn’t rush out to see it. I recently watched the film on blu-ray, and I enjoyed it!

Josh Reviews Barry Seasons One and Two
Early on during our social isolation, my wife and I caught up with the HBO series Barry. Bill Hader stars as the titular Barry, a former marine turned hitman who attempts to recreate himself after accidentally walking into an acting class and being mistaken as a prospective studen
