Late to the Party: Josh Reviews Veep Seasons 5 and 6!
Earlier this year, I had a great deal of fun catching up with Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ fantastic show, Veep! (Click here for my review of seasons 1 & 2, and click here for my review of seasons 3 & 4.) After the conclusion of season four, the show’s creator and sho
Josh Reviews Modern Love
Amazon’s series, Modern Love, is based on the New York Times column of the same name. Each episode of this eight-episode anthology series adapts a specific Modern Love column. Each episode tells the story of a romance; though the episodes feature different types of love st
Josh Reviews Avengers: Endgame!
In yet the latest feat of I-can’t-believe-they-did-it, Kevin Feige and the team at Marvel have stuck the landing. Avengers: Endgame is a deeply satisfying, profoundly moving, and incredibly fun culmination to a decade-plus of movie-making. They have woven together threads an
Marvel Triumphs Again with Captain America: Civil War!
Marvel Studios is on a winning streak the likes of which I am hard-pressed to recall (the last decade of Pixar movies is the only thing I can think of that comes close) and Captain America: Civil War is even better than I had dared hope, an extraordinarily HUGE movie with astounding a
Josh Reviews Spotlight
Tom McCarthy’s new film Spotlight tells the story of the Boston Globe’s “Spotlight” team’s investigations, begun in 2001, into the sexual abuse of children by Boston Roman Catholic priests, and by the efforts of the Boston Archdiocese to cover up those in
Josh Reviews Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp
David Wain and Michael Showalter’s cult classic film Wet Hot American Summer is not a film for which I ever expected to see a sequel made. The film did not succeed upon its theatrical release back in 2001. But then a strange thing happened, which sometimes occurs with films wh
Arrested Development Lives! Josh Reviews Season Four
“I think movies are dead. Maybe it’s a TV Show.” For three wonderful, beautiful shortened seasons on FOX that aired from 2003-2006, Mitchell Hurwitz and an extraordinary team of writers and performers spun comedic gold out of the misadventures of the spoiled, selfi
Josh Reviews The Adjustment Bureau!
I’m always intrigued, but a bit worried, when I hear that another Philip K. Dick story is being turned into a movie. Many adaptations of Mr. Dick’s work have been pretty horrid, and even the ones that are great (such as Total Recall and Blade Runner) tend to diverge pret
Josh Reviews Season One of Mad Men!
I was excited, last month, to finally sample one of the best-reviewed new shows of the past several years: Mad Men. No surprise, Steph and I made pretty short work of the 13-episode first season on DVD. Mad Men depicts the lives of the men and women who work at Sterling Cooper, a Ma
