Regular Joes Podcast

This week the Regular Joe's do a deep dive into Star Trek Discovery. Which is not unlike Discovery's own recent plunge into the distant reaches of Trek lore, referencing, and even using footage from, the original series original pilot episode. How do the new updated versions of Captain Pike and Spock measure up? Fans were mixed on season one. Is this season more "Trek" like? Tune and find out as t...

Captain Marvel is the 21st Marvel film since 2008, and the first to be fronted by a female hero. Or as the Kree say ... A noble warrior hero. It's pretty much a given that Tod will loveI this, find out what Barry and Dave thought, if it met their expectations, and where they think Marvel's newest character will go from here. There's also the inevitable rundown of their personal top five Marvel fil...

Now that the Oscars and all those overproduced, overhyped award shows are done with it's time for the one that really matters. In this episode we reveal the winners of the 2018 Joecademy awards. Where, you the listener get to pick the winners. SPOILER: Get used to hearing "Infinity War" a lot. We also take peek at the pilot episode of "Whiskey Cavalier" the show Lauren Cohen fled the Walking Dead...

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 week two very similar themed comic-based shows debuted. Doom Patrol on DC's streaming service and Umbrella Academy on Netflix. To help compare and contrast these shows the Regular Joes bring in Derryl DePr...

This week the Regular Joes take a look at The Prop Store's Vintage Toys and Collectables Live Auction, running February 28th to March 2nd. If you love vintage Star Wars Toys much more than you love large piles of cash, this is the auction for you. The Toys look awesome, the estimates are steep. But, If you are looking for a vintage Remco Hulk Utility Belt, this will be a don't miss event. First up...

Each year we painstakingly evaluate, consider, advise, consent, and ultimately decide who and what should be on the annual Joe-cademy Awards listener Ballot. 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...

Now that it's clear 2019 isn't going away anytime soon the Joes finally get around to highlighting the things they are looking forward to in the year ahead. The TV series, new and returning, the films (even a few not from Disney/Marvel/Star Wars blockbuster machine) and the shows and events on their radar. Before that the guys take a first look at the History Channel's Project Blue Book and Fox's...

On this week's episode the Regular Joes take a look back (or is it forward?) at the year 2019 as predicted in three Sci Fi films, Blade Runner (1982), The Running Man (1987) and The Island (2005.) What do these three very different films get right, what did they get wrong ... and why do we still not have flying cars? All this as well as the usual Random Topics and What's in the Box. Thanks for Lis...

For the first episode of the new year the Regular Joe's take a last look at 2018 in the rearview mirror. From a unusually positive perspective the Joes focus on the things they liked from the past year. Along with traditional favorites are several things which have not come up previously. Also, an update on "Barry's Dilemma" as he decides, and to some degree rationalizes, just how much he wants to...

This week, Barry and Tod met up at Dave's house to discuss Movies, Toys, TV Shows and more, and to exchange holiday gifts! They started with a discussion about the Timeless series finale, was it was worthy ending to an underrated series? Next Dave and Tod tell Barry what they thought of Aquman…was it a another in a series of DC disasters or did it rise to the level of Wonder Woman? Lastly, the guy...

The CW just aired their annual crossover event, this year encompassing Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl (sorry Legends). Elseworlds gives us a first look at Batwoman, soon to have her own series, and rolled out an impressive array of Easter eggs. Find out what the Regular Joes picked up on and what they liked best. You might think we've covered Star Wars The Last Jedi from every angle, we certainly con...

These guys have zero impulse control. Which puts them in a unique position to suggest some holiday gifts for that special person in your life… or, let's face it, maybe yourself. As such, we present the 2018 edit...

For years the Regular Joes have been talking about prop auctions. This week all three of them finally stepped up and bid on a piece of Star Trek history. Find out what they bought and what Dave should have bought. Long before Game of Thrones George R. R. Martin wrote the Science fiction Novella Nightflyers. First adapted as film in 1987, Nightflyers is back as limited series on SYFY. Does it live...

The Walking Dead has slowly shuffled its way to the season nine mid-season finale. Does anyone still care? Viewership is way down, Tod just quit . . . again, and Dave never went back. What happened to this once must-see show? But first we catch up on Random Topics including, inevitably, another pass at The Last Jedi which, Barry now concedes has flaws (which he is willing to overlook), and Adam Sa...

After taking a week off, the Regular Joes are back just in time for Thanksgiving and Black Friday…on this weeks show, Dave, Barry and Tod start off with their usual round of random topics and then they discuss the passing of comic legend and pop-culture icon Stan Lee.

It's time again to join the Regular Joes as they make their annual visit to Providence Rhode Island for the RI Comic Con, the biggest Con in the smallest state.

Sabrina has been a "Teenage" Witch since 1962 ... and you thought your teen years were rough. This week the Regular Joes check out Netflix The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, the most recent, and creepy, adaptation of Archie's spell slinging classmate. Despite Dave thinking Melissa Joan Hart is cuter, the crew are unusually in sync. Barry has a dilemma and Tod and Dave weigh in on, of course, diam...

In a dark alley a stick wielding masked vigilante brutally dispatches a handful of violent criminals. This could be a scene from Daredevil, but it's not (we will talk about that later.) This is how we are introduced to Robin of DC's streaming service TITANS in the premiere episode. It's a decidedly darker take on what was once a junior sidekicks club. In a split decision we are intrigued. Despite...

Just a few weeks after House of Mouse CEO Bob Iger conceded they may be pushing out Star Wars content "too much to fast" Disney XD's newest animated offering Star Wars: Resistance has landed. As is their new tradition, the Regular Joe's review the pilot episode and weigh in with their thoughts. Is it a worthy successor to Clone Wars and Rebels? Is it even intended to be? As one might guess, opinio...
