Josh Reviews Jay and Silent Bob Reboot
In Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, the two “hetero life-mates” get out of an arrest for selling pot, but while in court they discover that they’ve lost the rights to use their names “Jay and Silent Bob.” It turns out that the “Bluntman and Chronic̶
Josh Reviews the Animated Wonder Woman: Bloodlines
Wonder Woman: Bloodlines is the latest direct-to-DVD/blu-ray DC animated film. Set in the “New 52”-style continuity begun with 2014’s Justice League: War, this film is a welcome focus on Wonder Woman. We begin with a retelling of her origin, and her departure fro
Josh Reviews Luke Cage Season Two
For quite a while, I’d wished that the Marvel Netflix shows would come out at a faster pace. We had to wait almost three years, for example, between the first two seasons of Jessica Jones. (Though the character did appear in The Defenders in between.) But weirdly, since th
Josh Reviews The Death of Superman Animated Film
Back in 2007, when DC/Warner Brothers began their series of direct-to-DVD animated films, the first project they tackled was an adaptation of the 1992-93 “Death of Superman” storyline from the comics. That animated film, Superman: Doomsday, was very entertaining and stil
Josh Reviews Netflix’s The Defenders!
Way back in October, 2013, Marvel and Netflix announced that they would be collaborating on four TV shows — Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist — whose characters would then cross over into a combined series The Defenders. This would be a TV version of the

Netflix’s Marvel shows came out strong from the gate, with the one-two punch of Daredevil and Jessica Jones. Both of those first two seasons were extraordinary, with adult, sophisticated story-telling brought to life by a phenomenal cast of actors. Both shows looked gorgeous
Josh Reviews Netflix’s Luke Cage!
Season one of Netflix’s Daredevil was a revelation. I was blown away by that gritty, intense, adult take on Marvel’s blind super-hero. Season one of Jessica Jones was just as good if not better: a riveting take on a character whose life was torn apart by a trauma and a
Josh Reviews Season 2 of Netflix’s Daredevil!
I thought that the first season of Netflix’s Daredevil was spectacular, dark and complex and very adult, a triumphant declaration of intent for Netflix’s Marvel shows. Jessica Jones, the second Marvel show, was every bit as good, telling a wrenching story of a young woma
Josh Reviews Jessica Jones
I was excited when Netflix announced that Daredevil would be the first of their Marvel universe TV shows. But I was even more excited when Netflix announced that Jessica Jones would be their second. I was also somewhat concerned, since as an enormous fan of the character I was wor
Josh Reviews Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
I had read that DC was planning on creating a new continuity amongst some of their animated films (while still continuing to release some one-shot, stand-on-their-own films like Assault on Arkham) that would parallel the newly-relaunched “New 52” DC Universe in the comics.
