Josh enjoys writing about relationships between characters, memorable moments from dramatic productions, and clever storytelling. He’s also not afraid to criticize productions that warrant a little tough love.
Josh specializes in covering original content across the major streaming platforms, but he gravitates toward Netflix and Hulu originals (The Haunting of Hill House and Shrill are his favorites on each platform, respectively). He will also talk endlessly about why Apple TV+ is the most underrated streaming service.
A big fan of Broadway and the movie musical, Josh has strong opinions when it comes to casting movies that call for singing and dancing. Chicago, Hairspray, Cabaret, and The Last Five Years are his favorite movie musicals.
