Regular Joes Podcast

Dave Pisani, Barry Kay and Tod Pleasant

Dave Pisani, Barry Kay and Tod Pleasant have teamed up to create the Regular Joes Podcast, a show that will focus on various aspects of the things they love most, movies, toys, sci-fi, tv shows, comics, collecting, and much more. Each episode will feature subjects such as the cool vehicles and props from classic movies and tv show, the movie you would want to have with you if you were stranded on a desert island as well as new or notable items the guys have added to their varied collections.

2020/10/02

It’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

This week the Regular Joes each sample one of the recent, noticeably sparse, Fall TV offerings and give their recommendations to you and each other. 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

2020/09/18

We like Robots. Frankly, who doesn’t. Robots have been a persistent presence in pop culture since Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927). What is the allure of these mechanical/artificial men, and women? Why do we so easily identify with these characters who often have more in common with a home appliance than the human race? What makes a good robot good and a bad robot terrifying? To answer these questions and many more the Regular Joes bring in robot maker Brian Mix and one-time Droid manufacturer Derryl

2020/09/11

One 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

Do you remember how Leonardo da Vinci went back and touched up the Mona Lisa? Or how about when Mozart decided The Magic Flute could be just a bit more magical? Yeah, those things never happened. Nevertheless, Star Wars the ground breaking film by George Lucas, has been periodically tweaked and revised by someone who is, arguably, the same guy who created it. You can no longer see the film that debuted in 1977. Not officially anyway. Fortunately several dedicated (or possibly obsessed) fans have

Episode 350: Irregular Joes

It’s a very special episode. No, not the one where the guys stage an intervention over Barry’s “Stormtrooper problem.” 350 episodes in the hosts sit down with four long time friends who all, to one degree or another, manifest “Collector’s Syndrome.” You may be familiar with these symptoms, when acquiring one of something rapidly leads to having a dozen or more of them, or the empty, hollow feeling that comes from owning an incomplete set of collector cards. While there is no known cure for

Episode 349: Agents of F.I.N.A.L.E.

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been around almost as long as The Regular Joes Podcast. Last week, after seven wildly inconsistent seasons, the serially reanimated Agent Phil Coulson and his stalwart squad of Agents, former Agents, and not quite Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. finally bid adieu. It’s been a bumpy ride. But, for those dedicated, or just stubborn, watchers who stuck it out the 12 episode 7th season provided some of the best moments the series has offered.

It’s a sort of “catch up“ week for the Regular Joe’s. Last week the episode was postponed due to a 5 day long power outage for one of the hosts. On the plus side Dave is now able to personally recommend a 4500 lbs (approx. curb weight) battery charger. And, since packages have been stacking up, they catch up on What’s in the Box, throw in some RJ Picks, and even a round of What’s on my Workbench. Last week CBS All Access streamed the first animated Star Trek episode since 1974. Was Lower Decks

Star 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

2020/07/24

The Old Guard is one of the hottest flix on NetFlix right now. Based on a comic by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernández, it stars Charlize Theron, with Chiwwtel Ejiofor (Mordo in Doctor Strange) and a lot of other people you will only sort of recognize, like the bad guy …. who was Dudley Dursley in the Harry Potter films. Like a bazillion or so other people the Regular Joes checked it out and give you their take. Note while they initially make an effort to steer clear of SPOILERS that kind of falls

This week the Joes acknowledge the 40th Anniversary of Saturn 3, Their second favorite Sci Fi film with Farrah Fawcett in the cast (Note: there were only two.) Conceived in the mind of visionary Star Wars set designer John Barry, Saturn 3, underwent management changes mid stream resulting in a what the late Roger Ebert described as “awesomely stupid, totally implausible,” and “a shameful waste of money.” And yet the Joes committed 1 hour and 36 minutes of their lives to it anyway. Go figure. They

With everything that’s going on and everything that’s not, sometimes it’s nice to just have some time to kick back and hang out with your friends. 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.

You know how the last several weeks episodes have been very focused and thematic, yeah well, this one is not that. With no particular agenda the Regular Joes catch up on Random Topics, bid adieu to Sir Ian Holm and the guy who thought putting nipples on the bat suit was a good idea. Then there’s some Shirt Up, because that’s still apparently a thing, and a round of What’s in The Box. In lieu of any other plan the hosts then catch up on projects they have been working on in their recovered daily

Ok, let’s try this again. This week the Regular hosts, plus adjunct Joe Derryl DePriest take a look at another of Barry’s long-time sentimental favorite films Flash Gordon (1980). In what might seem a set up doomed to repeat “The Willow incident” the gang actually find several things they like about the film ... in addition to the several aspects they did not so much go for. It’s all good. The relative merits of Flash Gordon aside, they all love Sam Jones. As Everyone should. Particularly those who

Auctions can be very dangerous. Back in March The Prop Store held an auction that included screen used items from the JJ Abrams, or Kelvin universe, series of Star Trek films. While we understand these films aren’t universally embraced by Star Trek fans, they are one of the rare things that all three Regular Joe’s agree they like. Which makes an auction like this, yes, very dangerous. For this week’s What’s in the Box our hosts dive into the long-awaited box of Treky goodness they bid on months ago

Did the new shows spark any interest? Will the Joes keep watching or give up after the pilot? And how does the premiere of the final season of Shield hold up to the best and worst of the show?

First up it’s Disney Prop Culture which takes a reverent look at many of the surviving props from several of the memorable films in Disney’s pantheon, including Mary Poppins, The Chronicles of Narnia and Tron.

For 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

In this week’s episode the Regular Joe’s take a look at the wrap ups of two very different premium cable series. After nine years and eight seasons, Showtime’s Homeland takes a bow. At this point fans who have stuck with this show have spent nearly a decade with Clare Dane’s bipolar CIA operative Carrie Mathison. We’ve been with her through highs, and lows, and some even lower lows. Nevertheless, despite gaping plot holes, storylines that strain the very limits of credulity, and lots of
