“The Worst Ones Always Live” — Josh Reviews Game of Thrones Season Two
I have never read any of George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels. But I was hooked relatively quickly into HBO’s first season of Game of Thrones, and the masterfully crafted second-season, which just concluded, was equally enthralling. (I am a bit torn, now
From the DVD Shelf: Bored to Death Season 2
After tearing through the first season of HBO’s Bored to Death on DVD (click here for my review), my wife and I couldn’t wait to jump into season 2. I’m pleased to say the second season was just as much fun as the first! Picking up just a few months after the end o
“Winter is Coming” — Josh Reviews Game of Thrones: Season One
I’ve made various comments, here and there over the past several months, about how much I dug the first season of Game of Thrones, but I realized I’d never really written about it in-depth here on the site. After recently tearing through the blu-ray release of the first
From the DVD Shelf: Bored to Death Season 1!
What a terrific show! I feel like I’ve been discovering a wealth of TV show genius on DVD recently: Party Down (click here for my review of season 1, and here for my review of season 2), Louie (click here for my review of season 1), Boardwalk Empire (I am making my way through s
From the DVD Shelf: Louie Season One
I discovered the comedian Louis C.K. when he appeared in a recurring role during the second season of Parks and Recreation, and I fell in love with his work after watching his concert film, Hilarious. I’ve subsequently devoured all of his stand-up comedy CDs that I could get my

From the DVD Shelf: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (1979)
I’m very excited for the new film adaptation, starring Gary Oldman, of John le Carré’s 1974 spy novel, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. (I haven’t seen the film yet, but really hope to get to it soon.) But the release of this new film adaptation spurred me to at last
From the DVD Shelf: Party Down Season Two!
Last month I wrote about the terrific first season of Party Down. I wasted little time in devouring the show’s second season, as well. Sadly, these two short seasons represent the entire run of the show, but I can’t recommend them highly enough to you. To re-cap, Party D
Josh Reviews Party Down (Season One)!
Wow! Add this series to the list of brilliant, cancelled-before-their-time TV shows! I don’t think I even heard of Party Down during the two seasons it was on the air, on Starz, in 2009-10. But every now and then, since it’s cancellation, I’d hear or read a menti
From the DVD Shelf: The Larry Sanders Show: Season Two
Last month I wrote about season one of Garry Shandling’s magnificent HBO series from the ’90s, The Larry Sanders Show. Season one had been previously released on DVD, so I’d seen all of those episodes many times. But NONE of the subsequent seasons had ever before
