Regular Joes Podcast595: RICC Ramp UpIt'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 interview. There also the usual Random Topics, a run down of what road warriors Brian and Derryl have been up to, and...

Regular Joes Podcast594: Tom Spina ReturnsThis 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 hints a items still to come later this year and into 2026. There's some Halloween talk, and some insight into the balancing act...

Regular Joes Podcast593: Tron Ares - Back on the GridThis 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 surprising rundown of who liked what. There's also a tribute to the late, great artist Drew Struzan, whose iconic imagery, including posters for Back to the...

Regular Joes Podcast585: Five Joes, Five ShowsAs 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 Mix did double duty hitting Star Trek Las Vegas, before making his way back east to his second home in upstate New York, for Trekonderoga. ...

Regular Joes Podcast584: Titus Welliver, Collector / ActorYou may know him as Detective Harry Bosch from Amazon's Bosch and Bosch Legacy series, or maybe from Star Trek Voyager, Deadwood, Lost, The Mandalorian, Titans, or any of dozens other roles Titus Welliver has had in TV, Films, Animation, and Audiobooks. This week Barry, Dave and Tod sit down with Titus at Terrificon in Connecticut to talk a little bit about his career as an actor, and a whole lot about his varied, and quite familiar, collecting interests. They cover 1960's to 1980's toys, Aurora Models, firearms, and pretty much any thing that else that comes to mind...

Regular Joes Podcast558: Ventures and AdventuresThis week, the Regular Joe's catch up each other on what they've been doing the last few weeks. Inspired by the recent 55 films episodes Tod has decided to rewatch classic films in their original unadulterated format to kick this off he recently went to see King Kong (1933) on the big screen in a theater where it originally played when released. Dave, long the master of custom-made displays and plaques has started a business … wait for it, making and selling custom-made displays and plaques. Did you recently pick up a pair of old ruby slippers that you really want to sho...

Regular Joes Podcast554: A Regular Joes Christmas 2024This week, Barry, Dave and Tod, reputedly the three hardest people in the known universe to buy for, exchange Christmas gifts. This may seem like an exercise in futility, but it has become tradition. On the whole this was a good year. Barry didn't buy himself anything a week before the gift exchange, Dave didn't already have everything, and Tod grudgingly accepted that he has gone up a tee shirt size. Thanks for listening, and have a Happy New Year!

Regular Joes PodcastEp 516: Walking BackMore than five years ago Barry, Dave and Tod walked away from onetime favorite, The Walking Dead. After enduring eight grueling years, from episode 1 to episode 5 of season 9, they vowed to never return. This week the fifth Walking Dead series, Walking Dead: Those who Live, debuted with the premise of reunite Rick and Michonne after five + years in real time, and who knows how long in nearly unreconcilable Walking Dead time. Can the Joes pick up at this point? Will they want to? Queue up this week's ep to find out. Also, prompted by their recent pondering on which...

Regular Joes PodcastEp 513: Barry & Tom's Excellent AdventureThis week the Regular Joes are again joined by Tom Spina of Regal Robot and Tom Spina Designs. Barry and Tom recently traveled to Skywalker Ranch to complete research for Regal Robot's newest limited run offering, a faithful reproduction of the Wampa puppet from The Empire Strikes Back. They dive deep into the painstaking level of effort and detail that goes into reproducing an item like this. Seriously, have you ever tried counting Wampa teeth? They also talk about what's it's like to visit the Lucas archive which is pretty much a complex filled with holy grails … including the Ho...

Regular Joes PodcastEp 505: What's in the GIFT BoxWith the holidays fast approaching the Regular Joes pause to reflect upon the difficulty of finding gifts for people who are hard to buy for. You know, the folks who have everything, or those people who don't hesitate to buy themselves things … even two weeks before Christmas (see also, Barry Kay). They cover electronics, services, gadgets and several things people don't yet know they need. All just in time to make those last minute purchases. There's also Random topics and 2/3 of a round of What's in the Box because at least one of the Joes is exercising restraint. Thanks for...

Regular Joes PodcastEp 501: Original Fit PodcastThis week, Barry, Dave and Tod settle back into their normal routine. There's no celebrity interviews or overly complicated recording set ups. It's just the three of them catching up on random topics, debating the merits of the recently concluded Disney+ series Loki, and taking a last pass at the just wrapped Star Trek Lower Decks season four. Note: there is agreement on only one of these topics. There's also a round of What's in the box. Really, it's just a plain ol' regular episode. Pretty much exactly what you would expect. Just like putting on a comfortable pair...

Regular Joes PodcastEp 499: The Sniff TestIt's that time again when the Regular Joe's thoughts turn to the Rhode Island Comicon. Making the trek to Providence has been a RJ tradition for 10 years, pretty much as long as the podcast has been running. This year as they prepare, they take a second round (apparently this is now tradition as well) at rating the huge list of convention guests, based on autograph, appeal, visual appeal, and …. wait for it, aromatic appeal. This stems from an entirely reasonable comment Tod once made about Karen Gillan, and as things do, it just spiraled from there. There's also a rou...

Regular Joes PodcastEp 494: Nascent NerdsPrompted by photos Brian recently shared, which revealed the depth and dedication of his own early nerdiness, Barry, Dave and Tod delve into their own, not quite, secret origins. At what point did all of us cross over from simply liking a given thing, like Star Trek, or Batman, to engaging with it on an interactive, creative or otherwise expansive level? Buying the books, tracking down the merchandise, costuming, DYI, and seeking out like minded souls are all early manifestations of Nerddom. Unfortunately, there is no cure for this all to common affliction. Perhaps we could start a telethon? W...

Regular Joes PodcastEp 490: Hit or MissThe teeming juggernaut that is Disney has a whole lot of projects in the hopper right now. If recent history has demonstrated anything not everything they announce actually comes to pass. Anyone still waiting for Patty Jenkin's Rogue Squadron? With a couple of recent big budget commercial failures to reflect on rumor has it Disney honcho Bob Iger is having some second thoughts. Always helpful, the Regular Joes weigh in giving Bob some feedback on where he might trim the fat. As we ease into the dog days of Summer the Joes offer some advice on how you might u...

Regular Joes PodcastEp 480 Spy vs. SpyOK, so here's the elevator pitch. We cast two really attractive people, one man, one woman. We establish a little chemistry, then we send them on a nonstop cycle of high-speed chases and near death experiences. There's a certain amount of spy stuff. Lots of people shooting at them. Various bad guys with vague foreign accents. They should be after something? Let's make it a high tech briefcase thingie. We could be talking about Amazon's streaming series, Citadel, or Apple+ made for streaming film Ghosted. One approaches things humorously, the other try to play it straight. This week the R...

Regular Joes Podcast464: Bizarro World?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 breaks conventions as well as vaults. More of a heads up than spoiler, you want to watch the "White" episode last. In other weirdness, Barry gives a thumbs down on...

Regular Joes Podcast463: Barry and Dave's Excellent AdventureThis 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 well as details of Barry's long delayed Rise of the Resistance experience(s). Yes, there is finally balance in the force. After that they catch...

Regular Joes Podcast460: Brought to You By the Letter WThis 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 life in it than the other. Without getting too deep into spoiler territory, let's just say the odds against the Regular Joe's achieving consensus on these series was pretty high. Barry...

Regular Joes Podcast450: And . . . Or ?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. Let's just say that's less an issue than in previous offerings. The series, from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, writer (or is it, savior?) Tony Gilroy chronicles the previous five years...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 441: Regular Joes UnpluggedIt'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 Crystal Skull's writers tries to claim it wasn't his fault, Brian beams down to an old school Star Trek con, the wondrous and perplexing persistence of...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 436: Maverick is His NameTop Gun Maverick Is the sequel everyone has been waiting 35 years for. Ok, so maybe more accurately it is the sequel Dave has been waiting 35 years for. Tom Cruse"s long delayed fighter pilot action flick is finally in theaters and it is breaking box office records. Was it worth the wait? There will be SPOILERS. They knew this month was coming, but you can never really be prepared for the stream-apalooza. When every major content provider piles on, dropping crazy amounts of long awaited series all in this overstuffed month. The Joes (except for Barry who is...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 430: Strange LoveThe Marvel movie machine is back in full on production mode and this week they served up two new trailers, one for Thor: Love and Thunder and another for Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness, respectively. After whatever the Eternals was or was not, and Spider-Man: No Way Home (which is in, but not totally of the MCU) these two films carry much of the burden of getting the Marvel Cinematic Universe back on track. And not surprisingly, there's a lot to unpack. Because this week is the now monthly "No Theme / No Plan" episode, the Joes go on to...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 429: Star Trek: The Emotion PictureLast Week Paramount debuted its third release of 1979 film Star Trek: the Motion Picture. Does this remastered version of the earlier director's cut solve all of the issues with the original film? Not quite. Overall opinions vary on the sum total of the endeavor. On one end of the spectrum it can be seen as a sweeping visual spectacle that heralds the original Enterprise crew's transition to the big screen. On the other it remains a monochromatic, epically slow, big budget remake of the season two episode The Changeling. Barry, Dave and Tod are joined by Brian Mix, who...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 424: Disco Fever LunchboxThis week the other Regular Joes put their faith in Tod (always a questionable proposition) who promised to come up with a theme and tell them as they record. To make things more interesting he called up the full bench, Barry, Dave, Derryl and Brian. This week the theme is "Themes." how do movie and television songs and scores factor into our attachment to them? Can you have a great film without great music? Conversely, can a mediocre film be more memorable simply for having great tunes? Which songs, themes, and even riffs have become touchstones that Immediately transport...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 419: ExtempormaniaDo you know those episodes where the Regular Joe's make lists and spreadsheets and plan the heck out of everything they do? This is not one of those episodes. As Barry, Dave and Tod like to do from time to time (when they don't really have another plan) this week they just turned on the microphones and recorded whatever came to mind. At times it's like one long Random Topics segment. At others they go down rabbit holes such as trying to convince Tod that Iron Man II really isn't all that bad. Note. Tod and Dave were once...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 417: Hindsight is 2021While Tod is sometimes wrong in his speculations he is seldom as off the mark as when he predicted the Regular Joes 2021 Year End Review would "go quickly." Thus, with the regular hosts and Irregular Joes Derryl DePriest and Brian Mix joining in, the whole team takes a look back at the highs and lows of the year that was. They all like a lot of the same stuff, right? This should be easy, right? Well in this bonus length outing we find out what Derryl really thinks, that Barry will make most any argument to shoehorn something...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 412: Eternal DamnationOnce you've done something twenty-five times getting it right should be pretty much a walk in the park. The Eternals, the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe offering may indicate otherwise. Over the last dozen years Marvel has gone back to the well several times to pull relatively obscure characters such as Ant-Man and The Guardians of the Galaxy to elevate them to high profile hits. As one of the later creations of the legendary Jack Kirby (Captain America, The Fantastic Four etc, etc.) The Eternals certainly have the DNA to be a hit. But why does this adaptation seem so...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 411: RICC 2021 - Apollo GreedWhile there are very few certainties in life, it's pretty darn likely that if there's a Rhode Island Comic Con the Regular Joes will be there. It's also a given that as long as there's a sofa in the Omni Providence lobby the Joes will be making yet another run at their traditional guerrilla talk show. Some years they find many guests, in others it just ends up being a small group of good friends talking about the stuff that inspires, excites and unites them. This year Barry, Dave and Tod are again joined by Brian and Derryl as...

Are they welcomed additions to the fall TV line up or destined to be forgotten at the bottom of a California tourist attraction / tar pit? Dave, Barry and Tod let you know what they think, you can let us know what you think. The boys also run down the lengthy list of movies and shows hitting between now and the end of the year to see what they are most excited about. All...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 404: Fall TV, TV FallsRemember when we would eagerly review the new fall TV offerings, excited for a glimpse of what might be a new favorite show. Those years seem far behind us now ... at least two years behind us. This week the Regular Joe's rundown the decidedly thin offerings for fall TV. There are a few hopefuls including Apple's Foundation adaptation, Hulu's Y the Last Man, La Brea on NBC, and Ghosts from CBS. There are also some returning favorites. Dave is excited for Nancy Drew, Barry can't wait for season 411 of Survivor, and Tod has endured the shortest hiatus ever between...

Regular Joes PodcastAugust AdventuresAfter 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 Galaxy far, far, away … in Orlando. In yet another instance of consumer codependency they all each received the long awaited Hot Toys Endgame Captain America figure which pr...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 400: The More Things Change...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 first swipe at Maggie Gyllenhaal, Tod's first recorded takedown of Star Trek The Motionless Picture (which he still claims ruined his childhood despite it being released when he was 16) and Barry's initial attempt to convince his...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 399: He Who Dies With the Most Toys Wins!"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 add to the collection or do you upgrade? There has never been a time like this for 1/6 scale collectors. Hot Toys and other companies are putting out amazing stuff, then upping their game. Between the three...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 397: "Your a Total Poser"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 you pony up extra cash, in your living rooms via Disney +. This week the Regular Joes weigh in with their thoughts on Black Widow and what it means...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 396: Summer of StreamingAs 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 update on the Bad Batch on Disney Plus. They also discuss (mostly spoiler free) a pair of films that two of them have recently...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 395: Bring Me the Heads of Statler and WaldorfAfter 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. Once the obscure province of nerdy collectors of entertainment ephemera, the prop marketplace has changed to include Friday the 13th Jason masks that...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 393: Fedora DreamsAs 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 television history. This time around it's the upcoming Prop Store Auction that triggers the internal rationalizing process which so often does not end well. For this episode Barry Dave and Tod are joined by p...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 390: 8 Years, 100 MoviesThis 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 delicious, and possibly elaborate, beverage, and learn in real time along with the Regular Joes (expect for Tabulator in Chief Derryl) just which films make the cut.

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 389: What's in the Boxes?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, baby Grogos how can you go wrong. Really you can't. After that there was a lot of talking, and then, just like for the previous 8 years and 388 episodes pretty soon...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 388: You Should Read the ComicWhenever 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 properties shepherded by Dave Filoni (Clone Wars, The Mandalorian etc.). When you put "Bad" in the title you kind of set yourself up to a standard. Is The Bad Batch "great" no, not really. Is it "ba...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 384: First Contact DayApril 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 a lot to talk about. Because frankly, there's a hell of a lot of Star Trek shows in the hopper. Star Trek Discovery Returns with new and exciting ... uniforms. And...

While it is true most of us can't afford to swim among the big fish who will gobble up these goodies it's also fun to play the home game, and peruse the catalog for the props we would most want. This most recent auction offers up quite a selection and the Regular Joes have whittled down their lists to those items they most covet ranging from the Star Wars universe, to Bruce Lee films, to the inevitable Tom Cruise...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 355: TV GuidesIt's pretty clear the fall TV season is not. And it seems this is just one more aspect of the new normal. Kind of like kids going to school in their living rooms, protests in the streets, and presidential debates that look like an episode of Jerry Springer. If all of this makes you long for a simpler time you are not alone. This week the Regular Joes set the Wayback Machine to September 1973 and take a look at TV Guide's (once) eagerly anticipated Fall Preview Issue. That Fall saw the debut of an amazing number of series that...

First up Barry drinks the Kool Aid with HBO's The Vow, a nine part documentary series that looks into the NXIVM cult that drew in many including several familiar actors. Next Dave heads to Mars with Hilary Swank in the Netflix series Away. If there's a target demographic for this most recent space program drama it really should include Dave ... but does it? Lastly Tod goes even further into the cosmos with a pair...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 352: The Boys are Back in Town ... AgainOne of the Joes favorite shows from last year, Amazon Prime's The Boys, the dark, and often just wrong, adaptation of the Garth Ennis comic about Superhero's as corporate created and controlled celebrities is back for its sophomore season. For this week's podcast Tod forced Barry and Dave to watch THREE ENTIRE EPISODES. Curiously, Amazon's decision to drop the first three episodes at launch and then serve up the remaining shows weekly has generated more buzz than the series. Which is amazing given that one episode depicts the killing of an endangered species as a sight gag. Go figure...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 347: The Trouble with TrimblesStar Trek has been around long enough to be a legitimate topic of historical study. While names Like Roddenberry, Shatner, and Nimoy immediately come to mind, the show's unique position within the cultural zeitgeist would not have been possible without less often cited contributions from names like Fontana, Jefferies and yes, Trimble. On this weeks' episode Barry, Dave and Tod, joined by Brian Mix, sit down with Bjo and John Trimble, commonly recognized as "the couple who saved Star Trek." The Joes get the Trimble's personal perspective on how they came to know Gene Roddenberry, how they went on to...

This was one of those weeks. Joined by Derryl DePriest, and Brian Mix, Barry, Dave and Tod cover a wide range of topics from the genius of the late Carl Reiner, the glacial pace vs. the conceptual brilliance of 2001 a Space Odyssey, and why Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. picked now to finally get so damned good. On the Final Frontier ... er, front, Dave makes the trek to the just...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 338: Magnificent SevenFor seven years Barry, Dave and Tod have been getting together, more or less, each week to record the Regular Joes Podcast. This week is whole lot like the other 337. They start with a plan, and then get somewhat sidetracked during random topics. Next they get caught up on current projects with What's on My Workbench. Then, on Barry's recommendation everyone checked out Amazon Prime's Upload. Ok, so if you have been paying attention you know Barry tends to grade things on a curve. So how does this particular suggestion hold up? Lastly there a round of What's in...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 326: Make it ... SlowAfter a brief hiatus the Regular Joe's are back in the saddle. At the mid-season point in the long anticipated Star Trek: Picard, the Joe's check in on what they think of the series so far. Clearly much has changed in the decades since ST: The Next Generation ended it seven year syndicated mission. Both the Star Trek universe and how television shows are created and presented have evolved in that time. Will Picard bold go, and find success, in this new and uncertain storytelling frontier, or will it be forever linked to the past? Also, a few months...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 325: Sunday Morning TalkDave is taking to the road and Barry's house is in the throughs of reconstruction so the Regular Joes recorded this week's episode earlier on Sunday morning then Tod usually gets up. What ends up coming together is a pretty free flowing discussion about the nature of films today. Which seems appropriate given that it's recorded on the day the Academy Awards are handed out. What does winning an Oscar really mean for an actor or filmmaker? And, in an era where seemingly every property with the slightest hint of nostalgia has been revisited or reimagined is there actually...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 321: At Some Point ... in a Galaxy Far Far AwayAs the dust settles on The Rise of Skywalker (1 billion dollars worth of dust that is) Barry, Dave and Tod are joined by Regular Joe Derryl DePriest to ponder the question, where does the Star Wars cinematic universe go from here. With the last three films either under preforming, or garnering mixed receptions among critics and and an increasing fractured fan base - what is the path forward? Or is it backward? Should Disney, "let the past die"? and start from a clean slate? Opinions vary. But it makes for a lively discussion. In this bonus length episode we...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 312: I Have SpokenThis week the year's most eagerly awaited Star Wars offering premiered. Or at least the most eagerly awaited . . . until next month. The Mandalorian is both the highest profile original content on Disney's shiny new streaming service and the first live action Star Wars created for the small screen since the infamous 1978 Christmas special. SPOILER, it is MUCH better than the Christmas special. While the Regular Joes have been critical, to various degrees, of the Star Wars efforts since the Empire (the Disney Empire) took over that particular universe this could be the one thing that they all agree upon...

Regular Joes PodcastEpisode 308: Not Your Mother's Nancy DrewThere is an informative, in depth and well made documentary on the making of Alien (1979) it just doesn't happen to be Memory: The Origins of Alien which they all watched this week. If you can find a copy of The Beast Within: The Making of Alien you should watch that one. While they're on a roll they take on two new CW fall series, Batwoman and Nancy Drew. Since Tod is reputed to automatically like anything based on a comic book, and Dave is predisposed to like pretty much anything with an attractive female lead, logic would dictate they...

We do some random topics, discuss the pitfalls of wearing a black tee shirt to a Comic Con, but never quite resolve an alternative. We reflect on the merits of ABC's Stumptown, give passing mention to Evil on CBS and Prodigal Son on Fox. Also, without specifically mentioning the 8th film in the Skywalker saga, agree collectively (that almost never happens) on who should be overseeing the Star Wars franchise for Disney. Somewhere along the way Barry expresses...

Inevitably, there is lots of Star Wars talk, which is impossible to avoid when you're sitting in a room with a life-size, and disturbingly hairless, Chewbacca mannequin, but also Batman and even the odd Star Trek reference.
