Regular Joes Podcast

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...

A while back The Regular Joe's sifted through this season's network TV offerings and settled on just a single show to try. This year the network folks tasked with endlessly revisiting decades old air schedules in hopes of breathing new life into an old show or premise have finally gotten around to Quantum Leap. While the original series (1983-1989) was not exactly high art, it did have a unique pr...

The Regular Joes have been eagerly awaiting the start of the Disney+ Star Wars series Andor. Ok, to be more accurate, Barry has been eagerly awaiting the series, but all three of them did watch the three initial episodes that dropped on day one, and the first weekly update that followed. As regular listeners can probably anticipate, their views vary widely. There will be SPOILERS . . . sort of. Le...

This week the Regular Joes catch up on news from the recent Disney D23 Expo. There were numerous updates from the Star Wars and Marvel Cinematic Universes, allaying any fears thar the House of Mouse might be be running out of content anytime soon. While many exciting things loom on the horizon, this year was as much as what they weren't talking about, Rogue Squadron, X-Men etc, proving even the bi...

There have been several attempts to bring Wonder Woman to the screen. And while some were successful, The New Original Wonder Woman series 1975-1979 and the 2017 Wonder Woman film, others have missed the mark like a poorly thrown javelin. This week the Regular Joes, joined by noted bad film aficionado Jim Bush, provide a live commentary analysis of the rarely seen 1974 series pilot which was relea...

This week, the Regular Joes are joined by regular guest host Brian Mix for a very random show filled with random topics and random conversations about very random geeky stuff. It's a no homework required show for everyone, so sit back, relax and randomly enjoy the show! Oh yeah, and theres What's in the Box too. As always, thanks for listening!

Remember back in the day, when the arrival of that extra thick TV Guide Fall Preview Edition offered up all sorts of promise for the coming network TV season? Yes, that's as much a thing of the past as filling your tank for less than a $50 bill. This week the Regular Joe's give slightly more time than is due to the scant offerings served up for the fall season. Unless of course you're big into Rea...

This week the Regular Joes take a look at two very different streaming series. One wrapping up its third season and the other just out of the chute. The Joes have been on board Apple TV+'s alternate history space race drama For All Mankind since launch. As they dig in to the most recent Mars mission focused season it quickly becomes clear that the sci fi aspects of the show aren't the parts that a...

The passing of our childhood heroes is hard, more so the crushes of our youth. This week the Regular Joes bid farewell to Olivia Newton-John, who may not have been Dave's first crush, but certainly had a significant impact on his teen years. As well as inspiring an elaborate, and ultimately successful, effort to crash her 1982 Saturday Night Live appearance. Note: at various points people are enco...

In 1965 an actress, dancer and singer accepted a small role in a new science fiction TV drama. Her expectations for the show were understandably low. But Lt. Uhura became the defining role her long career. The Regular Joes pay tribute to the life and legacy of Nichelle Nichols who broke barriers, changed minds, inspired countless people, and looked damned fine in a mini skirt. Having given most ev...

The San Diego Comic Con (SDCC), while no longer the largest comic con, remains the harbinger of all things nerdy. This year announcements were split between long awaited projects such as, The Sandman and the Game of Thrones prequel House of Dragons, and many others we will likewise be waiting a long time to see. The Regular Joes dive into the litany of announcements, teasers and trailers. Most not...

It's been a while since we have had the whole crew together, and now that Brian has made his way to the east coast it's time to catch up with him and Derryl. The far reaching swath of this week's topics incudes, but is not limited to: the sudden, seeming collapse of Eaglemoss / Hero Collector, the unlikely circumstance of Dave being further into Ms Marvel than anyone else, one of Kingdom of the Cr...

Thor Love and Thunder marks the first time a MCU hero has gotten four stand alone films. So, that's something anyway. We knew Thor Ragnarok 2017 was going to be hard to top, and, SPOILER this film does not. There is Thor, two of them actually, Valkyrie, Korg, and a handful of other familiar faces but somehow Taika Waititi's second outing as director seems less than the sum of its parts. The Regula...

Since Disney took over the helm of the Star Wars Galaxy fan response has been, well … mixed. And while you can't please everyone, Obi-Wan Kenobi's six episode run proved the House of Mouse can do right by a legacy character. While not a perfect series, Obi-Wan aptly demonstrated that even a story you think you know can be improved in the telling. Note: there will be SPOILERS, but since you probabl...

By the time you listen to this episode the dust will have settled on the Prop Store's Entertainment Memorabilia Auction. If you are now the proud owner of a screen used Star Wars X-Wing model congratulations!

The firehose of streaming series content continues as the Regular Joes breakdown, digest and process what they have seen so far. Star Trek Strange New Worlds continues to be everything it promised to be. Likewise Kenobi moves towards its rapidly approaching conclusion proving there are still stories to tell In that curiously small universe. Lastly For All Mankind is back on AppleTV+ with another d...
