Josh Reviews Shrinking Season Three
Shrinking was great right out of the gate, and it’s only gotten better. This third season was a magnificent season of television, hilarious and sweet and moving, bringing the stories of all of these characters to a deeply satisfying conclusion. (The series has been renewed for a fou
Josh Reviews Shrinking Season Two
I loved the first season of Shrinking, and it’s been a long year-and-a-half wait for the second season! I was a little nervous that they wouldn’t be able to recapture the magic of the first season, but I’m delighted to report that my fears were groundless. This s
Josh Reviews Shrinking Season One
On the Apple TV+ show Shrinking, Jason Segel stars as Jimmy, a therapist whose wife died a year ago. Jimmy has been in a tailspin ever since. In an attempt to pull himself out of his rut, he decides to break the cardinal rule of a therapist and start getting more involved in his p
Josh Reviews Dispatches From Elsewhere
Jason Segel created and stars in Dispatches from Elsewhere, a bizarre, twisty tale of four oddballs who become friends and deeply affect one another while participating in an elaborate social experiment/game that may or may not actually involve the true-life disappearance of a young,
Catching Up on 2015: Josh Reviews The End of the Tour
I missed The End of the Tour when it was first released last summer, but it was a top priority for me to check out when it was released on DVD/blu-ray. I usually watch a ton of films in December, trying to catch up on as many films from the previous year as I can, […]
The Top Twenty Movies of 2015 — Part One!
Overall, I think that 2015 has been a pretty terrific year for movies. Perhaps not as spectacular as originally predicted, though. In the months leading up to 2015, there were a flurry of articles about how 2015 was going to be insanely, unprecedentedly over-stuffed with exciting ne
Catching Up on 2012: Jeff, Who Lives at Home
In Jeff, Who Lives at Home, Jason Segel plays Jeff, a young man searching for himself. Jeff seems like an intelligent and affable fellow, but when we meet him we also see that he’s something of a lazy bum, and he still lives in his mother’s basement. Ed Helms (The Daily S
The Top 15 Movies of 2012 — Part One!
Back in 2010, I had a hard time coming up with ten movies I liked enough to put on my Top 10 Movies of the year list. Last, year, in 2011, I thought there were so many great movies that I had a Top 15 list (and I even squeezed in a few extra movies […]
Josh Reviews The Five-Year Engagement
In the opening scenes of The Five-Year Engagement, Tom (Jason Segel) and Violet (Emily Blunt) get engaged after having been dating for exactly a year. They seem perfect for one another, and the engagement is quickly followed by a movie-perfect sweet/off-color engagement party. Bri
Josh Reviews The Muppets!
The beginning of The Muppets, the new film starring Jim Hensen’s creations, presents us with a world much like our own: one in which the Muppets have been pretty much forgotten, passed over in favor of more modern sources of entertainment. Beseeched to get the gang back togeth
