Regular Joes Podcast

This week Brian Mix joins Barry, Dave, and Tod to formally announce the Kickstarter effort to provide a home for the Shuttlecraft Galileo at the Official Star Trek Set Tour in Ticonderoga, New York. The Galileo has endured a long, and often perilous, journey in the decades since The Original Series ended its three year run. There is no one better equipped to tell that story than Adam Schneider, wh...

This week, the Regular Joe's play Monday evening quarterback, providing color commentary on the big sports-ball matchup from this past weekend. Who won and who lost. Did Pepsi score by co-opting polar bears from their competitor Coca-Cola? Did callbacks to 90's hits Jurassic Park and Good Will Hunting work for Xfinity and Dunkin' Donuts? There were a whole lot of AI ads for companies whose names y...

This week the Regular Joes talk TV. Which may not seem all that unusual, but it has been a while since they did a rundown of all the new and returning series in the pipeline for the coming months. And there is a lot of them. From returning favorites like The Boys, For All Mankind and Daredevil: Born Again, to intriguing new offerings like Lanterns, Young Sherlock, and Wonder Man. Speaking of Wonde...

Model Maker and Concept Artist John Eaves has made a huge mark on the Star Trek franchise, as well as many other universes including The MCU. This week John sits down with the Regular Joes Barry, Dave and Tod, plus Irregular Joe Brian Mix, to discuss how he got started, his long career, and the stuff he collects himself. It's a great peek behind the curtain at all the things we love with the man w...

Starfleet Academy is a concept that's been kicking around for decades, but has never quite gotten off the launchpad. At long last it's here. But is this the show Trek fans want? Set in the far-future, or is it the future of the future? Starfleet Academy picks up the post Discovery timeline to go WHEN no one has gone before. The Regular Joe's sum up their thoughts two episodes in. Along with Random...

On this episode the Regular Joe's Dave, Barry and Tod are joined by the irregular Joes, Brian Mix and Derryl DePriest for their annual year in review show. With cocktails in hand, the gang of Joes cover the greatest hits and the biggest misses from the past year. There are surprises, and some familiar favorites, as they review the movies TV, series, events, acquisitions and happenings that punctua...

It's time once again for the Regular Joe's holiday gift exchange. Basically three of the hardest people on the planet to buy for swap gifts. What could go wrong? But first, Derryl and Brian join Barry, Dave and Tod to share their thoughts on nearly 10 years and five seasons of Netflix supernatural phenomenon Stranger Things. Who would've believed back when the first season aired that the most impr...

This week Barry Dave and Tod explore the question, what is a Christmas Movie? While all right minded folks agree Die hard is every bit as much a holiday staple as say, It's a Wonderful Life, or Elf, some go to extreme lengths to squeeze any film with a Christmas tree into the mix. Seriously, who lights the fireplace, pours an eggnog and cues up Eyes Wide Shut? The hosts define their personal guide...

This week, the Regular Joes share their initial reactions to the first teaser trailer for next years Supergirl movie, the follow up to DC and James Gunn's summer blockbuster, Superman.

This week marks a major milestone for the Regular Joes Podcast as they celebrate their 600th episode! Dave, Barry, and Tod welcome back a very special guest...actor, collector, and all-around great guy Titus Welliver. Titus, who is best known for his starring roles in television hits like Bosch and his memorable appearances in films and series such as Lost and Deadwood, co-hosts this weeks show, w...

This week Brian Mix sits down with Barry, Dave and Tod to talk about a big new project in Ticonderoga. We all love the Original Star Trek Set Tour, also known as "Mecca" to Trek fans, and very soon the forever home to a huge piece of Star Trek original series history. Brian gives the details on what to expect, how you can help, and how one of Barry's own creations was involved in the announcement....

As the holiday season kicks into full swing , interestingly, it is now apparently the auction season. As, in the coming weeks, a large collection of offerings from Jim Henson Studios are on the block at Julian's. And both the Prop Store and Heritage Auctions have large entertainment memorabilia auctions, kicking off within days of each other. So if you're looking for that last-minute gift, particu...

Predator Badlands is the eighth, or ninth film if you count the animated feature, in the long running franchise. Nearly three decades after Arnold Schwarzenegger said, "Get to the chopah!" these ugly dudes just keep coming back for more. This week, Dave, who sees more merit in the Predator films than most, talked Tod, who has skipped the entire franchise since 1997, into seeing Predator Badlands....

As per their annual ritual, this week the Regular Joe's, Barry, Brian, Dave, Derryl and Tod traveled from near, and not as near, to attend the Rhode Island Comic Con., AKA The biggest con in the littlest State. And, as usual, they claimed their traditional sofa in the lobby of the lovely Omni Providence, and recorded live. They recap the show, who they saw, what they bought, and have a terrific si...

It's a first! This week all five of the hosts, Barry, Brian, Dave, Derryl and Tod are on camera, if not quite ready for primetime, as the Regular Joes continue their video experiment. The Rhode Island Comic Con is just one week away, so it's time to gather the team and work out a plan of attack. Begining with, who among the insane list of guests are they most excited to see, and maybe even intervi...

This week Barry, Dave and Tod are joined by Tom Spina from Regal Robot and Tom Spina Designs to catch up on some of the cool things coming out of his studio. If you are are a Star Wars or Indiana Jones's fan tom and crew likely have a prop replica, or decoration you can't live without. They have some new items up for presale like their new line of bronze style busts called Regal Icons, and some hi...

This week the Regular Joes go all in on Tron. Maybe you, like the most of rest of the movie going public did not see Tron: Aries last weekend, but Barry, Dave and Tod did. And, lest you doubt their commitment, they all re-watched Tron (1982) and Tron Legacy (2010). At this point, they pretty much bleed neon. The results are three different perspectives on the three films, and a sometimes surprisin...

Let's face it, this really is a first world problem. I bought too much stuff and now I'm not sure what to do with it. This week the Regular Joe's address, the third phase of collecting. First comes coveting, then comes acquisition, then, like the peripheral dog that caught the car, you have the thing and now you have to find a place to put it. This all seemed simpler decades ago, when there was se...

You can live in a fascist utopia where everything seems ideal, as long as you don't look too closely at the uncomfortable details. Or, you can live in a techno-oligarchy, where a handful of mega corporations make all of the decisions for you with little regard beyond their bottom line. Fortunately, you don't have to choose, because Peacemaker on HBO Max (I think that's what it is called this week)...

In the old Hollywood tradition Robert Redford may well be "the last movie star." His film career spanned six decades, and included numerous iconic roles. This week the full slate of Regular Joes list their favorite Redford films, ranging from the epic to the obscure. And whether you favor the Sundance kid, Jeremiah Johnson, Jay Gatsby, Bob Woodward, or Roy Hobbs, Redford brought an endearing chari...

Months ago, Tod saw, and recommended Companion (2025), the Jack Quaid, Sophie Thatcher dark comedy that Google lists as as a "Horror, Thriller, Science Fiction, Romance." On Rotten Tomatoes it comes in at 93%. On IMDB. It's a 6.9. Recently, Dave stumbled upon it and suggested Barry watch as well. To say "opinions vary" on this one is kind of an understatement. Apparently a lot of it comes down to...

At first glance, there seem to be no similarities between the sci-fi series, Alien Earth (FX/Hulu), and the second season of Peacemaker (HBO). But both are offshoots of existing franchises, shepherded by creators with unique, and often, visceral styles. To date Noah Hawley's Alien Earth has proven anything but predictable, while redefining the nature of "Alien" threats. Who knew a sheep could be t...

In its third season Strange New Worlds has gone a long way towards living up to the first word in its title. From its inception, the pre-Kirk (somewhat) Enterprise series promised to avoid the long drawn out arcs that bogged down its predecessor Star Trek: Discovery. No one anticipated the bizarre, random, series of non sequiturs we've been served up this season. While there have been some funny b...

There are many who argue that the Alien film series lost its mojo way back on LV-476. The horror / thriller /sci-fi franchise created by Ridley Scott, and given a pulse rifle shot-in-the-arm by James Cameron, seemed like it would never regain its former glory or so we thought until last year's Alien Romulus made us rethink that equation. Now, Noah Hawley (Legion, Fargo) brings the saga back home....

As we hit the hottest stretch of the summer, the full slate of Joes have skipped the beach and instead migrated to cavernous, over air-conditioned, convention halls all across the country. In last week's episode, you heard Barry Dave and Tod's sit down with Titus Welliver, this time they update you on the other things they did while at TerrificCon in Connecticut. Out on the final frontier, Brian M...
