News Around the Net!
I was very sad to read that D.C. Fontana has passed away. Ms. Fontana was one of the key creative voices on Star Trek the Original Series, and also in the early days of The Next Generation (she co-wrote “Encounter at Farpoint”). She wrote 10 of the 79 Original Series e
Josh Reviews Jessica Jones Season Three
Back in 2015, the Marvel Netflix shows launched with such promise. Daredevil came first, and I thought that first season was extraordinary: dark and complex and adult. Then came the first season of Jessica Jones, and it was as good if not better. I loved this character from the

Catching up with Legion Season Two
I was blown away by the first season of Legion back in 2017. I thought it was magnificent; hugely creative and weird and unique. It was a gloriously mindbending experience that pushed the boundaries of what a television show could be. I loved it. But by the time season two came

In yet the latest feat of I-can’t-believe-they-did-it, Kevin Feige and the team at Marvel have stuck the landing. Avengers: Endgame is a deeply satisfying, profoundly moving, and incredibly fun culmination to a decade-plus of movie-making. They have woven together threads an
The Best Moments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (So Far…!)

I have watched this most recent trailer for Avengers: Endgame a lot: I love the nostalgia-focused first half of the trailer, with well-used clips and soundbites from previous films. (They really tease fans with that Peggy Carter audio!! That’s from a previous film, but my he
Josh Reviews Daredevil: Season Three
Daredevil season three reminds me of the early days, when Netflix’s Marvel shows were exciting. I was blown away by the first season of Daredevil and the first season of Jessica Jones. These shows were adult, intense, and exciting. They were gorgeously well-made, with grea
