Regular Joes Podcast

After their two week break the Regular Joe's are back and we catch up on what they have been doing. Tod seemingly squandered his time getting ready to start his 24th year of school ... and not buying a vintage 240z, while his cohosts took off on their own late summer adventures. Barry opted to make a return Trek to the final frontier, now located in Ticonderoga New York, while Dave visited a Galax...

For this week's episode we threw together a band of troublesome lone operators and tasked them with watching and reporting back on The Suicide Squad, an apparent sequel that tries desperately not to be a sequel. Not surprisingly, the usual bad actors, joined by the notorious Derryl DePriest, ultimately completed the mission but failed to achieve overall consensus. Dissenting opinions aside, James...

For their 400th episode (more or less) the Regular Joe's dug into the vault and pulled out "episode zero." Although periodically mentioned, this episode has never been released. There's some good reasons for that. Which the Regular Joe's of 2021 point out as they listen to their 2013 selves take a first stab at recording a podcast. This episode contains several notable firsts. Including Dave's fir...

"Everyone is excited about the new Ghostbusters film," Which, frankly, is a phrase we haven't been able to say since 1989. The trailer for Ghostbusters: Afterlife looks incredible. As we creep closer to the film's November release trepidation over the franchise's next incarnation is rapidly being replaced by eager anticipation. Who you gonna call? Next up the Regular Joes ask the question, do you...

Ok, so if there is one thing for certain about the Marvel Cinematic Universe based shows streaming on Disney+ we never quite know what we are getting. WandaVision kept people guessing. Falcon and the Winter Soldier was the can't miss vehicle that somehow never quite got out of Captain America's giant shadow. And then there's Loki. What could be better than a series about the charismatic, and occas...

Remember way back like 10 years ago when we would wait years or even a decade to see the next film in a franchise released? Marvel changed that giving us as many as four MCU films in a single year . . . until they didn't. The unbearable 2 year gap between Spider-Man Far From Home (2019) and the long delayed Black Widow is over. The First (female) Avenger's solo film is finally in theaters, or if y...

As we move in into a summer that seems to alternate between extremes of very hot and very wet, the Regular Joes catch up on their recommendations for what to watch if you are stuck inside. To the surprise of no one who listens, Tod recommends Evil, formerly on CBS now "the best reason to have Paramount Plus." Dave makes a pitch for Bosch in it seventh season on Amazon Prime. And Barry gives un upd...

After the five Regular Joe's spent much of the afternoon engrossed in day one of the Prop Store auction Barry, Dave, Tod and Brian got together to decompress, recover from a brutal case of price shock, and mourn the ones that got away. There are a lot of things that have changed in the last year. Who could have imagined that one of the them would have been the price of Film and TV production props...

Following up on last episode's prop auction discussion, and in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Raiders of the Lost Ark, this week the Regular Joes plus Irregular Joe Derryl DePriest talk Indy. First up is a review of the surprising number of Indiana Joes items that can still be sourced from their original suppliers. Next they delve into the amazing 2008 Indy toy line Derryl was instrumental...

As the world slowly inches toward normalcy one by one the displaced priorities of our recently paused lives begin to reassert themselves. For the Regular Joes nothing says normal quite like pouring over several hundred pages of props up for auction. Most are unobtainable, many others are impractical, but that doesn't really curb the deeply rooted desire to possess a tangible piece of cinematic or...

With their Anniversary odyssey of cinematic enumeration behind them the Regular Joes are back in the saddle. This week they waited to record until they had all seen the first episode of Disney+/Marvel Studios Loki. So, if WandaVision was weird and intriguing, and Falcon and the Winter Soldier fell somewhat shy of expectations, the third time should be the charm . . . like a magic charm? Work with...

To the total surprise of no one who listened to last week's episode, this week the Regular Joes complete their top 100 favorite films of all time counting down from 50 to the highly contentious number one. Seriously people, Loki doesn't start on Disney+ for another few days so what else do you have to do. To follow along with the Joes you can see the 50 to 01 slide show at RegularJoes.com To check...

This week the regular Joes Barry Dave and Tod , and the Irregular Joes, Derryl and Brian get together to nominate, aggregate and calculate the definitive list of their top 100 favorite films. On any given day it's hard getting all five of these guys to agree. But this isn't just any day, or any episode, it also marks the eighth anniversary of the Regular Joes Podcast. So sit back, pour yourself a...

With all the stuff the Regular Joe's buy you would probably expect a lot of duplication (or is it triplication) between their respective collections. It doesn't really happen all that often. This week everyone got a long awaited package and everyone was extremely happy with what they got. Honestly when you take a superb figure like Hot Toys Star Wars Mandalorian then you throw in, not one, but two...

Whenever Tod sets his hopes really, really, high, they are usually crushed. Ok, except for maybe The Martian, Daredevil, and almost every Marvel movie after Iron Man 2. Anyway, it seems like a prerequisite for actually enjoying Netflix's superhero family drama Jupiter's Legacy is having no familiarity with the source material. Next up it's the newest entry in the pantheon of Disney/Star Wars prope...

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...
