2020/05/01

Ok, so whether you have watched a single episode, or seen all 787 installments in the Star Trek franchise, it will come as no surprise that everyone has an opinion about the quintessential American Sci Fi series. This week the Regular Joes wade in to the nerdiest of nerd exercises and run down their individual top ten lists of favorite characters from the eight TV shows and three film series. As you would expect, there is some agreement, some disagreement and a few surprises at who leaves who out of

2020/04/24

Taking some time out from simply talking about what they are watching on TV, the Regular Joes sit down with Bill Nedrow who recently published The Joy of JoeCon, a collection of essays reflecting on the history and resonance of the long running International G.I. Joe Collectors Club Convention or JoeCon. After that they talk about stuff they bought (What’s in the Box) and reviving their very first recurring segment (Desert Island DVD) ignore the reality that you can now stream most anything, and

Episode 333: 3 Guys Sit Down and Hit Record

Yes, It’s our landmark 333rd episode, we are half way to the rather ominous episode 666 and a third of the way to being one episode from 1000. For this week’s episode we do what we have done most weeks over the last six years. Just three friends sitting down and talking. We cover some random topics, catch up on our most recent projects in What’s on My Workbench, and because we have taken it upon ourselves to single handedly prop up the U.S. economy, we throw in a round of What’s in the Box.

Val Kilmer films are like ice cream, everyone has a favorite flavor. And, as some might say, there’s no accounting for taste. This week our five hosts, yes that’s five, as Brian Mix is back and Derryl DePriest drops in to discuss three of Val Kilmer’s very different films. Note: Mr. Kilmer was invited but was unable to attend due to a prior engagement, and ... likely his dignity. First on deck is Kilmer’s first film role, Top Secret (not to be confused with Top Gun) Zucker and Abraham’s spoof/mash

The first season of CBS All Access’ Star Trek Picard has wrapped and the Regular Joe’s call in their west coast correspondent (and positronics expert) Brian Mix to help assess the series. This is Trek unlike anything we have ever seen, but is it good Trek? Opinions vary. You will be surprised at who rates it the lowest. They also take a post series look at Apple TV’s For all Mankind, the alternate history take on NASA’s Apollo Space Program era. They also toss in a few Random Topics, and work in a

This week the Regular Joes take a look at the first episodes of three very different series airing right now. First up is season Eight of Showtime’s Homeland. Is it worth returning “home” if you, like so many, dropped the long running spy thriller after, or during the abysmal 6th season? Then we move on to the oddly close to home reality of Epix War of The Worlds (not to be confused with (The War of The Worlds.) does this British/French updating of H.G.

With not much else to do but watch TV, the Regular Joes share some of their recommendations for a good Binge Watch, while practicing the art of social distancing of course. As usual, they don’t entirely agree with each other, but what fun would it be if they did! All this, plus the usual round of Random Topics and What’s in the Box. As always, thanks for listening, and stay safe out there!

Episode 328: Trolling Stone

2020/03/13

The Rolling Stone just released a list of the top 50 films of the 1970’s. Does it make our hosts grumpy old men to say people who were not even born in the 1970s probably shouldn’t be picking out the best films from that era? Needless to say the Regular Joe’s disagree. Truthfully, they don’t entirely agree with each other, but at least they didn’t try to shoehorn a bunch of pretentious crap in their list the way the Rolling Stone writers did. They also take time out to discuss the final Black Widow

In his five plus decades of existence G.l. Joe action figures have stood as tall as 12 inches, and measured as little as 3 3/4”. In his newest incarnation, depending on your frame of reference, he has either grown, or shrunk, to 6 inches. This week the Regular Joes, all of whom remain 1.1 scale, take a look at these new Joes as well as several other offerings announced at the 2020 Toy Fair.

After 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

Dave 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

The wait is over. 18 years after he last took the captain’s chair Jean Luc Picard is back as Patrick Stewart reprises his most iconic role. Clearly, with a 90 something protagonist, Star Trek: Picard, on CBS All Access, is a very different kind of Trek. As the Regular Joes assess this newest entry in Gene Roddenberry’s universe they touch on the most recent Short Trek Children off Mars, take look at the IDW comic Picard: Countdown, and rundown which episodes and films from the 5 decades of Star

As 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

As the Regular Joes get ready to close the book on 2019 they take a last pass at several of their favorite things from the year that was. Among these are Films, TV Shows, Books, Tools, Gadgets, Prop Replicas, and yes Action Figures. So, pretty much what they have spent the last year, and the last 320 episodes, talking about. Also, as it is likewise the end of the decade, they each pick one film from the 2010’s that merits recognition for it significance to the era. There’s also Random Topics and a

So you have three guys, say for example podcast hosts, who pretty much incessantly buy things for themselves. The only way Christmas gift giving works with people like that is if, at a certain point, for instance December 1st, they stop buying stuff for themselves. Is that really so hard? Yes, it’s the annual episode where the Regular Joes, three guys who buy a lot of stuff for themselves try to buy something for each other ... that they do not actually have. Yeah.
