Star Trek: Discovery returns for Season Two!
After a long drought since the cancellation of Star Trek: Enterprise in 2005, Star Trek returned to TV last year with the launch of Star Trek: Discovery on CBS All Access. I was very excited, and while the new show started off strong, I wound up being quite disappointed by the very

Josh Reviews Black Mirror: Bandersnatch
I adored “Choose Your Own Adventure” books as a kid. I was totally hooked on them, reading them over and over. In this seemingly endless series (many of which were written by R. A. Montgomery), every few pages you, the reader, would be presented with a choice as to wh

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

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
