It's time to talk TV.

As we try to avoid thinking, learning or predicting, anything more about Avengers: Infinity War, it's time to check off a few stray topics that have been crowded out of some of our recent episodes. Superman at 80 - the Man, The Myth and the Movies. The guys each pick a favorite from Superman's many incarnations, and take a stab at what they would do to make the Man of Tomorrow, relevant today. Dav...

This week the Regular Joes each watched The Director and the Jedi, the behind the scenes documentary/propaganda film/rationalization exercise included with the Star War: The Last Jedi Blu-Ray. The discussion on this historically volatile topic proves interesting as everyone's previous position shifts a bit…and not in expected ways. Also, the hosts react to a new trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story...

Since it's 2011 publication readers of Ernest Cline's Ready Player One have questioned whether the 80's pop culture centric bestseller could, or should, be adapted to the screen. Fast forward to 2018 and Steven Spielberg has done it. Now the questions are, did he do the book justice, and how does the film play for someone who loves the original novel? Find out what the Regular Joes think. Also, th...

After some Random Topics, Barry fills us in on one of his recent projects (or is it long standing obsession?) in What's on My Workbench. Next Dave gives his impressions of the recently released Rick Deckard gun from Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049. This prop has been something of a Holy Grail for Sci-Fi fans for decades, and this first-ever licensed version from Tomenosuke is both very expensiv...

Starting with genre defining X-Men in 2000 there have been 45 films based on Marvel Comics characters. Picking ten favorites among these is not an easy task. Particularly when our three hosts can't come to anything like consensus on how the lists should be ranked/stacked/defined or rated. Nevertheless we did. While there are few surprises at the top end of the lists midway through things diverge w...

Dave is on vacation this week but still manages to check in as the Regular Joes talk about Black Panther.

After a controversial, and by most accounts uneven freshmen season, Star Trek Discovery wraps up with a wow moment few expected. Hear what the Regular Joes thought about the show and what they hope to see in year two. It seems there's a surplus of Sci Fi offerings these days. This week we check out Netflix's cyberpunk noir offering Altered Carbon. Also included, a few choice Random Topics, and rou...

Last week Tod expressed doubt about the existence of Solo: A Star Wars Story. In response Disney stepped up, releasing first a teaser, then a trailer proving conclusively that they really do have just under 2 minutes of usable film in the can. Find out what the Regular Joes think about Solo (both the trailer and the casting) as well as the prospect of yet another slate of Star Wars films, and upda...

In the words of the late, great Tom Petty, "the waaaaaaaiting is the hardest part." This week the Regular Joes add three long awaited 1/6 scale items to their collections and take time out to tell you about them. First up, from 2016's Avengers: Age of Ultron it's Iron Man's HulkBuster Armor. More than two years in development the "figure" is biggest, heaviest and most ambitious Hot Toys has produc...

Star Trek Discovery is Back, a new batch of Black Mirror has dropped, and the first season of Seth McFarlane's The Orville has wrapped. Simply put, there's a whole lot of Trekin goin on. Black Mirror's U.S.S. Callister episode infuses social commentary into a familiar sixties sci-fi setting, The Orville (in a full reverse from our first impression) has boldly gone where no series has gone before,...

After a holiday week hiatus the Regular Joe's are back to take one last look at 2017 in the rearview mirror. With the caveat, more or less, that each can only pick three, Barry, Dave and Tod offer up their favorite films, TV shows, collectibles, projects, and a few other fairly random things from the year that was. Also, although we did not actually produce a show last week we did record our live,...

The wait is over. The last Jedi is here and with it comes no small amount of controversy. Who could have imagined a Star Wars film that cleaned up at the box office, drew unprecedented critical praise, but still seemed to alienate a large share of the hardcore faithful, earning a current 54% score on Rotten Tomatoes? The Regular Joes get together and debrief, breaking down what went right, what we...

We have been hitting TV and movies pretty hard of late so for a change of pace this week is the semi-annual episode where three dudes who buy way too much stuff recommend even more stuff you could buy for yourself, or. . . potentially, others.

This week's Random Topics include, Tarantino does Trek and Warner/DC w...
