Regular Joes Podcast

After ten weeks of Star Trek: Picard and eight of Star Wars: The Mandolorian you might think the Regular Joes would have run out of things to say. Actually, if you've been listening for any length of time, you wouldn't suspect that in the least. This week, the Joes close the book on these two series as Picard delivers its finale and the Mandalorian wraps its third season. Because the regular hosts...

It seems like the view from a parallel universe. This season actually saw a few episodes of Star Wars: The Mandalorian that were panned by critics and fans. Has some of the shine come off the Beskar armor that previously made Mando the only blaster proof property in the Star Wars universe? Has Mando jumped the Krayt Dragon? And perhaps most importantly, will the bottom fall out of the market for G...

474: Coming Distractions In last week's episode the Joe's caught up on trailers for upcoming films and shows. In the week since Star Wars Celebration 2023 happened and there is a whole lot more news on upcoming stuff. In recent years there have been a lot of soft announcements on who's going to direct a Star Wars Film … maybe … someday. But it now seems like there actually are three Star Wars film...

This week the Regular Joes dive into a recent batch of trailers, including Secret Invasion on Disney+ … promising, Blue Beatle from DC … interesting, Citadel … on Amazon Prime … intriguing, as well as a new Guardians Volume lll spot … more Rocket anxiety inducing. Along the way they make an extended trip down a Kevin Costner themed Rabbit hole. Bet you didn't see that coming. There's also What's i...

Just in case you were getting tired of the Regular Joe's weekly updates of back to back Mandalorian and Star Trek: Picard episodes they decided to switch things up a bit. This Week they bring in remote correspondence Derryl DePriest and Sean Huxter who report on last weekend's Toylanta … toy show … in Atlanta, giving the lowdown from their respective roles as vendor, presenter, and of course, coll...

This week's show is that semi-regular/randomly occurring, episode with no particular theme or plan. Think of it as a bonus length installment of Random Topics, with a check in on The Mandalorian (ok, that was … odd) and Star Trek: Picard (are we tired of saying, better than ever?) They also devote slightly more attention to Shazam Fury of the Gods than actual audiences did. And, in other news, Tod...

A weary and jaded loaner is given the task of delivering an orphan to an uncertain fate. Through various trials and ordeals he becomes both a father figure and protector putting the welfare of the child above all else. Yeah … Pedro Pascal is going to have to try harder not to get typecast. This week the Regular Joes take a last look at the last episode of The Last of Us, a show that, despite a dec...

We have arrived. The nexus is upon us! We have achieved nerd nirvana! We are at the singular moment in time when we can expect weekly streaming doses of good (no, not yet great) Star Trek and Star Wars episodes. As, for the next several weeks, both Star Trek: Picard, and Star Wars: the Mandalorian will work their way through their respective third seasons. Some people are Star Trek fans, others ar...

After calling out sick last week the Regular Joes are back. In reality they were just giving you lead time to watch Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and the first two episodes of season 3 of Star Trek Picard for which there will be SPOILERS. Depending on your perspective, the third, and reportedly final season of Picard, could either be the third strike for this coda to the much revered Star Tre...

It's the Regular Joe's annual Super Bowl post game show where the hosts run down all the best moments from the commercials vying to come out on top in this highly anticipated annual advertising competition. In between these ads, two groups of grown men also spent hours fighting over a ball. Not sure why. Also this week three, recovering former Walking Dead fans give the Last of Us a Try. From the...

This week the Regular Joes take a look at Everything and Everywhere All at Once (2022) the heavily Oscar nominated film staring Captain Georgiou from ST: Discovery, Short Round from Temple of Doom, and Jamie Lee Curtis from, well … Jamie Lee Curtis. Opinions vary, but clearly If you are not at all into Marvel or the superhero genre this might be the best multiverse hopping film you saw last year …...

It's all Joes on deck as the regular hosts welcome Irregular Joes Derryl DePriest and Brian Mix. As they tend to do when everyone jumps in it's kind of a free for all with no set topic. Not that that matters, as these guys have no problem filling an hour or so. Hopes are universally high for the final season of Picard. But hopes have been high before. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me three times...

This week's episode was recorded in an alternate reality where Tod doesn't watch the entire season of a TV show before Barry and Dave get through the pilot episode. First up is Paper Girls from Amazon Prime, which is based on a comic by Brian K. Vaughan, that (again alternate reality) Tod has never read. Next is Kaleidoscope, from Netflix, the Giancarlo Esposito led ensemble heist drama that break...

This week, Barry and Dave return from vacation and catch Tod up on everything he missed. Which, based on the rundown of the itinerary from their week in Orlando, was a lot. We all know Dave hits the parks with a plan that makes the D-Day invasion look like an afterthought, and this outing was true to form. Find out what they saw, and, more importantly, bought at Disney, Universal and elsewhere. As...

As we leave 2022 behind the Regular Joes, along with Irregular Joes Derryl DePriest and Brian Mix, take one last look in the rear view mirror. What TV shows and Films, from a surprisingly full year, did they like best? What were their biggest disappointments? A few of the answers will likely surprise you, like Brian's woefully misguided dislike for one show . . . just for an example. As listeners...

As 2022 came to a close, the Regular Joes convened at a not so secret location (Dave's House) to break bread and to prove once again that with a little thought you can actually buy gifts for people who literally have everything, it's the annual Regular Joe's gift exchange where you listen in as we open presents! We will be back next week with the full crew for our 2022 year in review show. We sinc...

This WEEK WE WATCHED WILLOW and WEDNESDAY. The two shows, released respectively by Disney+ and Netflix couldn't be more different. Willow is a follow up to the 1988 film of the same name. Wednesday is the most recent offshoot of the Addams Family franchise whose lineage goes back to Charles Addam's cartoons dating from the late 1930s. While both are legacy properties, one seems to have a bit more...

After a brief hiatus, the Regular Joe's are back. This week they dig into new trailers for two of the most eagerly awaited films due in spring of 2023. First up is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It's been a long time coming, but in June we will see the final chapter in the Indiana Jones saga. Clearly there's lots of action, Indy style adventure, and even Nazis to punch. Could this be the "...

In what is clearly the most eagerly anticipated Holiday Special since 1978, Disney + / Marvel has just dropped The Guardians of The Galaxy Holiday Special. And it's everything you, or at least the Regular Joes, could have imagined. In addition to doing something no MCU property has ever attempted before, the special proves that time honored rule that, the one thing that makes everything better is,...

This week, the Regular Joes start off with a tribute to Jason David Frank, best known for portraying the Green Power Ranger. Jason was a staple at conventions all around the world and his loss has been felt across the pop culture community. Next the Joes talk about the premiere episode of the Amazon Prime original series "The Peripheral" and let you know if they think it's worth a try. There's als...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the Multiplex there's yet another superhero film. This week it's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which not only crushed DC's recent offering Black Adam at the box office but runs more than 35 minutes longer. Because that's better, right? This week the Regular Joes break down Wakanda Forever (Note: There will be SPOILERS) which seems tasked with givin...

Each year the Regular Joes record their annual RI Comic-Con podcast episode from a particular Sofa in the lobby of the Omni Providence Hotel. This year the Joes called in a Power Ranger for assistance as Rocky the Red Ranger Steve Cardenas both cleared the sofa and sat down for an interview. Some years the lobby is a gold mine for interviews, other years not so much, but it's always a good time fo...

With a week before the Annual (no one counts 2020 anymore) RI Comic Con/Regular Joes Meet Up the Regular hosts are Joined by Irregular Joe Brian Mix to talk about the the upcoming (happening right now actually) Prop Store Movie Memorabilia Auction. There are some truly amazing offerings, including Roy Batty's Blade Runner trench coat and the freakin huge "miniature" model drop ship from Aliens, as...

This week the Regular Joes take a deep dive in to Random Topics, covering Star Wars, The Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the soon to be under new Management DCU. Which basically means, there's plenty of Marvel trailer talk, the inevitable rehashing of how recent Star Wars films may, or may not, have gone wrong, and a degree of cautious optimism for where DC goes from here. Next up it's a run down o...

With dozens of films, and now several streaming series, the Marvel Cinematic Universe always runs the risk of becoming predictable. Yeah, not so much. This week the Regular Joes take a look at Disney+/Marvel's most recent offerings, She Hulk Attorney at Law, a limited run series, and Werewolf by Night, the first MCU standalone "Special Presentation." If it were a comic Werewolf by Night would be c...
