Josh Reviews Master of None Season Two
The wonderful and dearly-missed Parks and Rec made me a big fan of Aziz Ansari, and so I eagerly followed him to Master of None, a show he created (along with Alan Yang) and ran (ditto) and also starred in. I thought the first season was marvelous, funny and heartfelt. It felt adv

Josh Reviews Wonder Woman
Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman is a delight, a thrilling spectacle whose heart is 100% in the right place, focusing on a hero who is fierce and brave, a skilled warrior, who nevertheless prizes loyalty and love above all else. It’s hard to believe it’s taken so long f
Josh Reviews King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
I’m not sure why Hollywood keeps insisting on making King Arthur movies. Is it the allure of a known name, in the way that studios chase after franchises and keep remaking and rebooting series with a recognizable title? Personally, I have never been all that interested in th
