The Office’s Rainn Wilson Shines in the Final “Short Trek” Short Film!
Although I was very lukewarm on the first season of Star Trek: Discovery, I have been extremely impressed with all four of the “Short Trek” short films that have been released over the last few months, as a lead-up to Discovery season two. They stuck the landing with 
Josh Reviews The Deuce: Season Two
Because (or perhaps despite) The Wire ruining television for me forever (because nothing will ever be as good), I am a forever fan of writer and showrunner David Simon, and I will follow him to whatever projects he undertakes. I have never once regretted it. The Deuce, which Mr. S
Josh Reviews the Third New Star Trek Short: “The Brightest Star”
The third of four new Star Trek short films, dubbed Short Treks, has arrived: “The Brightest Star.” This short story presents a concise version of the origin of Saru, the Discovery’s Kelpian science officer played by the phenomenally-talented Doug Jones. The stor
Late to the Party: Josh Reviews Veep Seasons One and Two!
Julia Louis Dreyfus’s show Veep always interested me. I was, of course, an enormous fan of Ms. Dreyfus from Seinfeld. The cast looked great (Arrested Development alum Tony Hale’s involvement got my attention), and the political setting really interested me. But somehow, I ne
From the DVD Shelf: Josh Reviews Smiley’s People (1982)
A few years ago, before the American film adaptation of John le Carré’s Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was released, I watched the 1979 BBC miniseries adaptation, which starred Sir Alec Guinness. I loved that miniseries, and quickly looked to track down the BBC’s follow-
Josh Reviews the Star Trek Short Film “Calypso,” Written by Michael Chabon!
Michael Chabon, author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, has written a Star Trek short film! It’s called “Calypso,” and I loved it. “Calypso” is the second of four Star Trek shorts, called Short Treks, being released in the lead-up to St
Josh Reviews Disenchantment Season One!
Disenchantment is the new Netflix animated series created by Matt Groening. Mr. Groening, of course, created The Simpsons, as well as Futurama (a criminally undrappreciated sci-fi comedy that is one of my all time favorite shows). Disenchantment is set in a medieval fantasy kingdom
Josh Reviews Orange is the New Black Season Six
I mostly enjoyed the season-long prison-riot storyline in Orange is the New Black season five. But as I was watching it, as I noted in my review, I found myself repeatedly wondering how the show could ever return to any sort of normalcy following those events. Season six presented
Josh Reviews Star Wars: Resistance
Star Wars: Resistance is the latest Star Wars animated TV show. Coming on the heels of Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels, this new show is, intriguingly, set in the time between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. The show takes place on the Colossus, an aircraft
Josh Reviews Better Call Saul Season Four
They made us wait over a year after the end of Better Call Saul season three for the start of season four, but boy was the wait worth it. Season four was another home run from this show, one of the rare spinoffs to be as good if not better than its fantastic, much-loved predecessor.
