Josh’s Favorite Episodes of TV of 2017 — Part One!
I am super-late putting together my Best of 2017 lists — sorry about that! I’ve been so busy that I wanted a chance to see a few more 2017 shows and movies, and indeed in the past few weeks I have been able to catch up with some terrific entertainment that wound up maki
Josh Reviews Angie Tribeca Season Three!
Angie Tribeca is this era’s Police Squad, a very funny, very silly show about L.A. detective Angie Tribeca, played by Rashida Jones, and her coterie of fellow homicide investigators on L.A.’s “Really Heinous Crimes Unit.” But Angie Tribeca is not a cop show,

Last week Parks and Recreation signed off after seven pretty fantastic seasons. I can’t believe how sad I am that the show is over. It has hugely grown on me over the years, to the point that it is now one of my very favorite TV comedies of all time. I barely made it through
Josh Reviews Celeste and Jesse Forever
What a fantastically enjoyable surprise this little movie was! A romantic (but not really romantic) drama that is very funny (but which I wouldn’t really call a comedy), Celeste and Jesse Forever is a wonderful little film for adults. It’s somewhat raunchy and juvenil
Catching Up on 2011: Our Idiot Brother
In the film Our Idiot Brother, Paul Rudd plays the titular idiot, Ned Rochlin. Ned is an extremely sweet, well-meaning goofball, but he has an uncanny knack for wreaking unintentional havoc on the lives of everyone he encounters — along with his own! When we first meet him,
