So, how about this gorgeous new Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer?? Wowsers! I’ve been waiting for months for another peek at this new film after the terrific first trailer, and this sure delivered. There’s a lot to take in. I cannot wait for this to come out in two s
Josh Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Episode 4: “The Butcher’s Knife Cares Not For the Lamb’s Cry”
In Star Trek: Discovery episode 4, “The Butcher’s Knife Cares Not for the Lamb’s Cry,” an important Federation dilithium mine comes under attack by the Klingons. With no starships in range, everyone in the mine will die and the Federation’s war effort w
Josh Reviews Kingsman: The Golden Circle
I loved Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons comic-book mini-series The Secret Service, a delicious send-up of classic sixties-era James Bond spy capers. I was a little less taken with Matthew Vaughn’s film adaptation, Kingsman: The Secret Service. Mr. Vaughn is a terrific director
Josh Reviews Angie Tribeca Season Three!
Angie Tribeca is this era’s Police Squad, a very funny, very silly show about L.A. detective Angie Tribeca, played by Rashida Jones, and her coterie of fellow homicide investigators on L.A.’s “Really Heinous Crimes Unit.” But Angie Tribeca is not a cop show,
Late to the Party: Josh Reviews The Good Place Season One!
I’m a big fan of Michael Schur. He was involved with the American version of The Office and he created (with Greg Daniels) and ran Parks and Recreation, which is an amazing TV show that I loved dearly, and created (with Daniel Goor) and ran Brooklyn 99, a very funny show that,
Josh Reviews Star Trek: Discovery Episode 3: “Context is for Kings”

Star Trek Returns to Television (Sort Of) With Star Trek: Discovery!
The first time I can remember being aware of and excited about Star Trek was when Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home came out in 1986. I must have been exposed to Star Trek before that, because I was excited to see that movie in theatres. But I don’t think I’d seen the prio
Josh Reviews Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later!
I like David Wain’s 2001 film Wet Hot American Summer, but I absolutely adored the 2015 Netflix miniseries First Day of Camp. The success of that endeavor clearly inspired creators David Wain and Michael Showalter to come back for another go. The new miniseries, Ten Years La
Star Trek Enterprise: Rise of the Federation: Uncertain Logic
Several years ago, author Christopher L. Bennett began a new series of Star Trek novels, subtitled Star Trek: Enterprise: Rise of the Federation. Set a number of years after the events of the prequel show Star Trek: Enterprise, and immediately after the founding of the United Federa
