Ironheart is a six-episode Disney+ series centering on the character of Riri Williams, who appeared in 2022’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. As the series opens, Riri gets kicked out of M.I.T. and returns home to Chicago. Although it’s clear that Riri has a community
Josh Reviews The Fantastic Four: First Steps
I could hardly dare to dream that this summer we might get a great Superman movie AND a great Fantastic Four movie, and yet… here we are! After the never-formally-released Roger Corman Fantastic Four movie from 1994 (click here for my review of the fun documentary Doomed! The Un
Josh Reviews Thunderbolts*!
I’ve been (and continue to be) a defender of the post-Endgame MCU projects, even as public opinion has somewhat soured on the once undefeatable Marvel. But even I can admit that The Marvels and Captain America: Brave New World were both wobbly. (I did thoroughly enjoy Deadpo
Josh Reviews Daredevil: Born Again
I was delighted when the MCU started incorporating aspects of the Marvel Netflix shows, by bringing back Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home and then again in an excellent episode of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law… and by bringing back Vincent D’Onofrio as Wi
Josh Reviews Captain America: Brave New World
Captain America: Brave New World opens with Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) inhabiting the mantle of Captain America, adventuring with his new sidekick Joaquin Torres (Danny Ramirez), the new Falcon. They retrieve a “package” stolen by terrorists, earning them appreciation from the

Josh Reviews Deadpool & Wolverine
After Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, many Marvel fans, like I was, were thrilled that so many of the Marvel characters were finally back under one roof. I was over the moon excited (and I still am!) to see the Fantastic Four and the X-Men brought into the MCU. But fans had ques
Josh Reviews Echo
I was a fan of the character of Echo immediately after reading her first appearance in Daredevil #9 back in 1999. (She was created by David Mack and Joe Quesada.) I was thrilled when she appeared in Hawkeye (a spectacular and underrated show for which I desperately want to see a s
Josh Reviews Secret Invasion
Secret Invasion is the latest Marvel show on Disney+. In this six-episode series, a grizzled Nick Fury returns to the field in an attempt to stop a civil war between the shape-shifting Skrull aliens on Earth. At the end of Captain Marvel, set in 1995, Fury had discovered and befri
Josh Reviews Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3
Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3 is a magnificent film, fun and funny and thrilling and heartbreaking. I don’t think I could have asked for a better conclusion to writer/director James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy and his association (at least for now) with Marve
