Josh Reviews Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season Three
I fell very quickly in love with Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt in its first season. While the show shared a certain comedic rhythm with Tina Fey’s previous show 30 Rock, I loved Kimmy Schmidt for its unique premise, wonderful characters, and, most of all, for Kimmy herself, a wond
Josh Reviews Baby Driver!
I have enormous love for all of writer/director Edgar Wright’s collaborations with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, from their fantastic TV show Spaced to their trilogy of films Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and The World’s End. Though actually, I have to admit that my absolute
Josh Reviews Angie Tribeca Season Two!
Last spring I devoured the first ten-episode season of Rashida Jones’ Angie Tribeca, a wonderfully clever, gloriously silly show. In my review of season one I compared Angie Tribeca to a modern-day version of Police Squad. The show follows a team of homicide detectives but i
Josh Reviews Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season Two!
I adored the first season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and so of course I was hugely excited for the second season. Thankfully it does not disappoint! The series was originally developed by Tina Fey for NBC, as a follow-up to her recently-completed show 30 Rock. NBC however, demon
Josh Reviews Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season One
Tina Fey and Robert Carlock have followed up the magnificent 30 Rock with another wonderfully unique, funny, sweet creation: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. The show was developed for NBC who, for some unfathomable-to-me decision, passed on the show after the entire thirteen-episode firs
Josh Reviews Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp
David Wain and Michael Showalter’s cult classic film Wet Hot American Summer is not a film for which I ever expected to see a sequel made. The film did not succeed upon its theatrical release back in 2001. But then a strange thing happened, which sometimes occurs with films wh
“Bravo.” Josh Bids Farewell to Mad Men!
Mad Men season one was, I am pretty sure, the first TV show set I ever owned on blu-ray. It was a gift, given to me soon after I bought my first blu-ray player. At the time, I’d heard about but had never seen this new cable show, and also I wasn’t sure if I […]
Josh Reviews Mad Men Season 7.1
It’s a very rare thing when a TV series is able to end at a time and place of its creators’ choosing. There are many things that are problematic with today’s TV landscape, but I must say the recent trend of more TV series having this sort of opportunity is extremel
Josh Reviews Larry David’s Clear History
I don’t know why I didn’t watch Larry David’s HBO film Clear History the second it first aired on HBO. Maybe the generic ads, or the even more generic title, neither of which gave me any idea of what the film was actually about? But I knew I couldn’t resist
“Not Great, Bob!” Josh Reviews Mad Men Season 6
Yes, I know the sixth season of Mad Men wrapped up a few months ago already, but it’s taken me a little while to catch up with this, the penultimate season of the show. What a fantastic season of television. I have written before that I enjoyed Mad Men from the beginning, and
