Josh Reviews Unfrosted
Jerry Seinfeld produced, directed, co-wrote (along with Spike Feresten, Barry Marder, and Andy Robin), and stars in Unfrosted, a very silly movie telling an insane, very much NOT a true story of the creation of the Pop Tart. I’m a huge Jerry Seinfeld fan, so I was of course inte
Revisiting Fletch and the Original Fletch Novel!
As a kid I loved the 1985 Fletch film starring Chevy Chase. There was a period in my life in which I didn’t think anything was funnier than that movie!! Recently I decided it was high time that I read the original Fletch novel, from 1974, written by Gregory Mcdonald. Mr. Mcd
Josh Reviews Confess, Fletch
For something like three decades they’ve been trying to make a Fletch sequel. Lo and behold, Greg Mottola (director of Superbad, Adventureland, and Paul) and Jon Hamm have cracked the code. And yet, weirdly… I feel like very few people know this movie even exists. It

Josh Reviews the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Interactive Special!
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt was one of very my favorite shows for the four seasons it was on Netflix. The series was hilarious and joyous and pretty much wonderful in every way. I was happy with the manner in which the fourth and final season wrapped up the series — but I am

Josh Reviews Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 10
We had to wait a long time between the eighth and ninth seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm (over five years), and when that ninth season of Curb finally arrived, I felt the show had lost its way somewhat. It was still extremely funny, and jam-packed with wonderful and crazy ideas. Bu
Josh Reviews Amazon’s Adaptation of Good Omens
This past summer, Amazon released a six-episode adaptation of Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, the wonderful novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I love the novel. It’s a deliriously funny, clever romp that reminds me very much of t
Josh Bids Farewell to Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt!
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Tina Fey’s 30 Rock nearly as much as I did. (That first season, it was Aaron Sorkin’s Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip that was the “behind-the-scenes at an SNL-like show” that I was most interested in. But Studio 60 was gone
