Regular Joes Podcast

As the Regular Joes, joined by Semi- Regular Joe Brian Mix, record this episode it is May the Fourth, a day Sci Fi fans have long awaited, as Andy (The Martian) Weir's new novel, Project Hail Mary, is released. In other news May the fourth coincidentally also happens to be "Star Wars day" the most legit of the made up sci-fi franchise holidays, and the Joes acknowledge some of the ways (mostly com...

In this week's episode the Regular Joes finally take up the topic listeners have been waiting for. Barry's long delayed decision to purchase a new grill. SPOILER warning the discussion may delve into BTUs and smokers. Next up the Joe's perform an autopsy on the the Disney+ series Falcon and the Winter Soldier. This one seemed like a no brainer. Just what was it that did it in? Poor writing, predic...

No Actual theme, no pre-show discussion, no prep, and no segments The Regular Joes just sort of dive in this week. They catch up on a wide range of topics including the penultimate episodes of Marvel's Falcon and the winter Soldier and Apple's For All Mankind. Curiously, while both delivered exactly what was anticipated, one was more satisfying than the other. There's a brief glimpse into the proc...

April 5th is known as "First Contact Day" to Star Trek fans, unless you are Barry, who dismisses it as a "made-up holiday." Note: Barry observes May the 4th (apparently not a made up Holiday) by getting up early to buy Star Wars products. No judgments. Just a curious anthropological observation. Anyway, First Contact Day has become the annual info dump on all things Star Trek. This year there was...

When Disney+ announced the first round of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) based series, WandaVision seemed like a bizarre, niche sort of venture, whereas Falcon and the Winter Soldier seemed like the no brainer. Perhaps we forgot about Iron Man II, Thor the Dark World, Age of Ultron and Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2. In the MCU sometimes the follow up efforts don't land quite as well as their pred...

This week the Regular hosts plus semi-Regular Brian Mix head back into space. First they take a look at For All Mankind, the show almost no one is talking about on the Apple streaming service that almost no one remembers is a thing. For All Mankind explores an alternate timeline where interest in the space program dd not wane following the Apollo missions and the space race continued to be a flash...

It's finally here! The single most hyped entertainment experience of the last year has arrived. FOUR FREAKING HOURS of a film you probably never wanted to sit through again. Zach Snyder's Justice League (not to be confused with Justice League 2017) is so long they needed to call in an additional Joe to cover it. With Brian Mix on deck, the team break down Snyder's epic, expensive, and unprecedente...

With the "Snyder Cut" aka Zack Snyder's Justice League, the long awaited, fan demanded, true to its original director's vision (or is it revision?) version just days from release the Regular Joes decided four hours of Justice League was not enough. At Barry's suggestion they all rewatched the original 2017 film. WARNING: rewatching this film may cause nausea, headaches, general malaise, and or tri...

So if you have not been watching WandaVision along with the Regular Joes the good news is this will be the last week you have to listen to them talk about it ... for a while at least. If you have been watching you also know that 95% of their theories proved to be as far off the mark as, well, pretty much everyone else's. Seriously how much fun would if been if they'd actually had it figured out. T...

This week, like most, the Regular Joe's got together and talked. At some point they got around to hitting the record button and that part, for better or worse, is preserved for posterity, and for you. Unless this is your first episode you'll be unsurprised to hear they talked about stuff they've been watching, and stuff they look forward to seeing. There were also various references to Tom Cruise...

Its always a good time when Brian "I've got one of those" Mix drops by to catch up. This week Brian and the Regular hosts talk about props and prop replicas. Stuff they have, stuff they want, and the deep void in Dave's existence that stems from not owning a truly significant screen used prop. Prediction, this will not end well. They also cover the usual random topics, work in a round of Whats in...

Three years ago Jeff Bezos saved The Expanse from a premature death in the cold depths of space. As the fifth season (the second on Amazon Prime) wraps up the Regular Joes comment on this, in many ways, unique Sci Fi (no longer SyFi) show. The political thriller, action adventure, human drama, continues to deliver, while deviating slightly, from the novel series by James S. A. Corey ... which Tod...

This past weekend roughly 92 million people sat through a bizarre event, involving several millionaires beating up each other to control an oblong ball, just to get a look at the new trailer for Marvel's next Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Was it worth all that pain and suffering? Hell yes! After an interminable wait the MCU is back in all its shield throwing, Falcon flying, evi...

This week's episode has a theme ... if you look really closely. In its fourth week (of nine) the decidedly odd puzzle pieces of Disney+'s first Marvel series WandaVision are coming together. What these clues reveal is still very much an open question. The only thing certain at this point is the Regular Joes are hooked and will be speculating along with everyone else. Stay tuned. Over the last seve...

On this episode, the Regular Joes each discuss one of their favorite Science Fiction properties. Yeah, so you're thinking, how is that different from the previous 372 episodes right? Well, there was one rule...it couldn't be related to Star Trek or Star Wars in any way...so that added a level of complexity! What movies or shows did each host choose? Listen in to find out. Plus the usual helping of...

Each year the Regular Joes gather to exchange gifts. And, like everything else in 2020, that did not quite happen as planned. Thus, nearly a month after the holiday, the Joes get together (safely distanced by several miles) and open presents they bought or made for each other. Yes, that is kinda odd. . .but it fits this week's theme. After several long months of eager anticipation Disney+ just lau...

Star Trek the Next Generation came into its own in it's third season. The Third season of original Star Trek gave us Turnabout Intruder and Spock's Brain. As Star Trek Discovery wraps up its third season the regular Regular Joes, plus adjunct Joe Brian Mix, assess how the series fared. What worked, what didn't? Did it serve it characters well? As this was the third major redirection in three years...

The Regular Joes are back from their holiday hiatus and it's time to catch up. First up they toss out a few random topics. Next it's a round of Show and Tell, where the hosts share a few of their favorite Christmas gifts. The week between Christmas and New Year's is prime binge time and the Joes took good advantage of the opportunity. Find out which shows finished up their 2020 watch lists. With t...

As the Regular Joes take a little time off for the Holidays, they thought it would be fun to revisit some of their favorite moments from their favorite convention, the annual Rhode Island Comic Con. Among the Joes memorable guests are Billy Zabka, Martin Kove, C. Thomas Howell, Daniel Logan, Katrina Law, Michael Rooker, Seth Gilliam, Sam Jones, Melody Anderson, Beverly D'Angelo, Jason Isaacs, Mike...

Don't get us wrong, season one of the Mandalorian was good ... ok very good. But, by any objective standard season two was mind blowing. If you have not yet watched the season finale, you will want to go do that now. Really. There will be SPOILERS ... lots and lots of SPOILERS. The regular hosts are once again joined by Derryl DePriest and Brian Mix as they process what they just saw. And, even th...

If you are a Star Wars fan, or a Marvel fan, or a fan of anything else that comes from the entertainment juggernaut that is Disney last week Christmas came early. Disney's investors Day 2020 detailed, more or less, plans for dozens of Disney + TV series, including at least 10 Marvel and 10 Star Wars offerings, coming in the next three years. Oh, and films, you want films, Marvel, Star Wars, Indian...

For those of you who never expected to see the words "Star Wars" and "Holiday Special" used together again in any authorized way, Disney+ offers up an animated Lego revisitation of the Life Day holiday celebration. Does it improve upon the original? That's kind of a low bar. Without question, it's the best Star Wars Holiday Special constructed of Legos we have seen … so far. Ok, so just in case yo...

This week the Prop Store held another auction of rare and one of a kind items from film and television. While it is true most of us can't afford to swim among the big fish who will gobble up these goodies it's also fun to play the home game, and peruse the catalog for the props we would most want. This most recent auction offers up quite a selection and the Regular Joes have whittled down their li...

The Regular Joes are joined by Tom Spina, the man behind Regal Robot and Tom Spina Designs to discuss the reason we all subscribe to Disney +, The Mandalorian…specifically, the first half of season 2. They also talk about all the cool things going on in Tom Spina's shop, the new items available from Regal Robot and the Black Friday sales. There's also a round of Whats in the Box and more. As alway...
