Regular Joes Podcast

For this week's Episode, Barry, Dave and Tod traveled to the ultra-secret undisclosed location of the Regal Robot / Tom Spina Designs studios (which Tod could not find even with a GPS) to see some amazingly cool stuff they can't talk about and spend quality time hanging out with maker / props-smiths Tom Spina, Gordon Tarpley and David Woodruff. Inevitably, there is lots of Star Wars talk, which is...

On this week's show, the Regular Joes discus how their favorite shows have wrapped up their seasons…which ones stuck the landing, which stumbled and which missed their mark worse than an imperial Stormtrooper with a faulty blaster. They also take a look at the summer series they are most looking forward to, but first they lay down their usual batch or Random Topics and they wrap up with a round of...

For the last time ... maybe ever, we travel back to Westeros to visit the smoldering ruins of a once great city, and HBO series. If anything can be said about The Game of Thrones finale, it has people talking. After one last pass at GOT the Joes move on to the topic of Prequels. Why do they exist, what's the appeal, and are there any that live up to or surpass their predecessors…or is it post-eces...

This week the Regular Joe's catch up on a few segments that have gotten squeezed out of recent episodes. There's a random topic round up, and Endgame centric Hot Hoys Minute, a quick peek at What's on My Workbench and the, inevitable as Thanos, round of What's in the Box. The Joes also take time out to reflect on the current national obsession, the shockingly divisive penultimate episode of Game o...

It's a season like no other on a show like none other and it all ends so very soon. But first we take a look at Disney's pre...

The wait is over. Avengers: Endgame has made it to the theaters, and the record books. As you might guess it is impossible to talk about this movie without SPOILERS.

Three guys get together and talk about whatever comes to mind. Sounds like the formula for every episode of the Regular Joes Podcast, right? Believe it or not there is usually some sort of plan. In this ep there is no plan, no theme, not even any segments. We just turn the mics and record. Did it work? That's really up to you to decide. Warning: there may be spoilers about two-year-old episodes of...

So here's the pitch, eccentric rich dude searches the world for super powered misfits then brings them back to his mansion to train as a superhero team. Sounds like the X-Men, right? Wrong.

This time around, when it came time to nominate the actors, creators, and films on this year's ballot, we tried something different. For the first time ever, we pull back the curtain, open the (thankfully metaphoric) kimono, and let you see (...

We live in the age of "Nerd Nirvana." There is more geek content than people can consume. Or at least people who ever leave their mom's basement. There is a DC channel (2 if you count the CW), a Star Trek channel and soon a Marvel/Star Wars Channel. Most every big-name superhero has appeared on the big screen. One is even up for an Academy Award. Nearly every Sci Fi property worth mentioning is un...

Discovery is back. So yeah, we talk a lot about that. Not everyone loved the first season, and the Joes get into the ways season 2 dials into what some may have thought was missing. Tod it seems has a man crush on the new Capt. Pike (Anson Mount), but this is made less awkward by Dave once again extolling the many virtues of Tom Cruise. We add a new segment, my Favorite Things where the Joes, and...
