Josh’s Thoughts on Star Wars: The Story in Music

Josh Reviews Score: A Film Music Documentary
I love movies, and I love movie scores. I’m not sure when I first started to realize that a part of what I loved about movies was their score; and that, beyond that, it was in fact the score that was a critical element of those movies I loved. It probably began with the Star
50 Years of Star Trek: Josh’s Favorite Star Trek Music!
OK fellow nerds, buckle up for a deep dive into geekiness here. Two weeks ago, I reviewed the wonderful Star Trek: The Ultimate Voyage CD, a recording of the concert series celebrating 50 years of amazing Star Trek music. That two-disc CD contained 30 tracks (15 on each CD) of Trek

Following last year’s release of the terrific collection of music from Star Trek: The Next Generation, I was flabbergasted to hear of the release of a similar collection of music from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. DS9 is my very favorite of the Trek TV shows, but it also feels l

Josh Reviews the Newly-Released Complete Soundtrack of Star Trek: Generations
Star Trek: Generations is a film that has really grown on me over the years, to the point where I might argue today that it’s the best of the four Next Generation movies. Despite the film’s Kirk/Picard crossover aspect (which makes the film an epilogue to the Classic Trek advent
