Josh Reviews Silicon Valley Season Four
I was late to the party on Silicon Valley. But once I watched season one earlier this year, I quickly fell in love and zoomed through season two (click here for my review) and season three (click here for my review). This show is such a wonderful skewering of this very specific su
Josh Reviews Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols’ Star Trek Swan Song in Renegades: The Requiem
Tim Russ played the Vulcan Tuvok on Star Trek: Voyager, and I always felt his performance was one of the best things about that show. Back in 2007, he was one of the early pioneers in the world of Star Trek fan films, directing the feature-length fan film project Star Trek: Of Gods

Josh Reviews Blade Runner: 2049
Let me get right to it: Blade Runner: 2049 is a masterpiece, a worthy sequel to Ridley Scott’s iconic original film. I would not have imagined it possible, but here it is. Blade Runner: 2049 is as mysterious and thoughtful and enigmatic as the original, asking deep questions
