2025/05/23

In 2018 when Disney announced a Star Wars TV series based on the Cassian Andor character from Rogue One (2016) the news was met with a resounding … Really? In 24 episodes, three years of our time, covering five years of his time, we’ve come to know Cassian Andor better than any other character in the Star Wars cinematic universe. We’ve seen his triumphs, his failures, and the sometimes meandering path that led him to his demise in Rogue One. It’s the tale of how a thief became a spy, who became a

aka - A long time to watch in a galaxy far, far away … Star Wars (1977) has a runtime of 121 minutes. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), considered by right minded people to be the best of the Star Wars prequels, has a runtime of 136 minutes. Andor the prequel, or perhaps prelude, to Rogue One clocks in at 1212 minutes, or just over 20 hours. This week, with three of four, three episode Andor arcs released the Regular Joe’s devote even more time to examining how those minutes were spent. There’s

This week, the Regular Joe’s take on Marvel’s Thunderbolts* or is it the New Avengers? The film which proves 36 installments into a franchise you can still come up with something new and different to do with an odd collective of 2nd tier characters. As Brian Mix is on board, they give him a brief opportunity to express his dissenting opinion about the Last of Us, before the others explain why he is totally wrong. Somewhat inevitably, some discussion of Andor creeps in as well. There’s also the

2025/05/02

This week, the Regular Joe’s tackle the first trio of episodes from two shows returning for long awaited sophomore seasons. The Last of Us was the surprise hit of 2023. It is the rare video game property that found a life of its own, and proved that zombies weren’t actually done to death. The show returns with a gut punch of a second episode, delivering tandem assaults viewers are unlikely to forget. Meanwhile, in a galaxy, not all that far away, Andor, the 2022 prequel to Star Wars prequel Rogue

As the Regular Joes await the long anticipated return of Andor they take a look at some of the many other things the House of Mouse has been pursuing on the Marvel, Star Wars and other fronts. Daredevil: Born Again, the continuation, more or less, of Netflix Daredevil series, has wrapped delivering much of what we were looking for, while still leaving us wanting for more.

This week it’s the episode no one has been waiting for, as the Regular Joes share their thoughts on Kraven: The Hunter the most recent Spider-Man adjacent film from Sony pictures. The film, which underperformed even Morbius (2022) has left some people thinking, maybe Madame Webb (2024) wasn’t as bad as we thought. Actually, It was. On the plus side, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who has suited up as both Quicksilver and Kick Ass will likely be back in tights as soon as this film is forgotten. Which could be

This week, in tribute to the recently departed Val Kilmer, the Regular Joes are rereleasing episode 332: recorded nearly five years ago, in which all five Regular Joes take a look at three Kilmer Klassics. His first starring role Top Secret (1984), fan favorite Willow (1988) and western epic Tombstone (1993). Be advised. Not everything holds up over time. We speak of course of episode 332. Val Kilmer is immortal. Thank you Val!

This week the Regular Joes, eventually, talk through the recent epic length cast announcement for Avengers Doomsday. Which includes (at a minimum) everyone from the upcoming Thunderbolts and Fantastic Four: First Steps films. Which begs the question, is it possible for a cast announcement to be a spoiler? Hey, we only have to wait fourteen months to find out. Right? Fingers crossed. They also discuss the highs, lows and surprises of the just completed Prop Store Auction. Including the marquee item

2025/03/28

The Electric State is a “flop.” A $275 million failure for Netflix directed by the Russo Brothers who sole talent seems to be directing Marvel films … Unless you a have actually seen it. Because real people place this film a lot higher than its 15% rotten tomatoes critic rating. This week the Regular Joe’s unanimously agree, it’s quite possible to watch The Electric State. enjoy the characters, the story, and yes, the very cool robots, without weighing that against what the film cost to make.

This week Brian Mix joins the regular Regular Joe’s as they look over the list of treasures and curios from the upcoming three day Prop Store Entertainment Memorabilia Auction. There are some truly amazing items for sale, particularly if you’re in the income bracket to drop a half a million on a piece of Star Wars history. Fans of the original Netflix Daredevil series have been waiting six plus years to see the man without fear back in action. And while Daredevil Born Again is clearly building up

It’s been nearly 6 years since Avengers Endgame. It’s well past time to get the band … or something like the band, back together. This week the Regular Joe’s each roll out their suggested roster for the next iteration of Marvel’s premiere super team. Think of it like fantasy sports for nerds. As you might expect there’s some common ground, but also some radically divergent ideas, as they forge the respective teams of old guard, new blood, and a few wild cards. As the Russo Brother’s next Avengers

There’s a lot of stuff to talk about, what was Kathleen Kennedy, maybe, possibly leaving Lucas film and James Bond being handed off to a company who can’t figure out what size box to ship tiny items in. They also take a Spoiler free look at The Gorge, The Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller action, suspense, horror, romance that recently debuted on Apple+.

This time around it’s Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) who wields the shield, while still wearing the wings, as if he is not quite sure this gig is gonna last. This delayed, retitled, and much reshot MCU film marks Cap 2.0’s first big screen appearance and the follow up to the 2021 Disney Plus series Falcon and the Winter Soldier. So, is it good?

This week, the Regular Joes, all five of them, make the Trek to Ticonderoga. There are two good reasons to visit this small New York town. Fort Ticonderoga is the site of the first American victory in the Revolutionary War, and the site of the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour. Note: only one of these is accessible in winter. Hint, it’s the one with phasers and not muskets. While there the Joes interview James Cawley, creator of this unique attraction, about his own involvement in the Star Trek

2025/02/07

For 35 years Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) has held the dubious distinction of being the worst Star Trek film ever made, but that inauspicious run is over. With the release of the Paramount+ film Star Trek: Section 31 there’s a new benchmark for bad in the Trek universe. To spare you one hour and 35 minutes of weak, nonsensical plot, thin characters, and cheesy gimmicks, the Regular Joe’s watched Section 31 for you.

This week the Regular Joe’s cover the wrap up of two sci-fi series. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is the first child centric Disney+ offering from that universe. Lower Decks was the first animated Star Trek series since 1975, and was intended for adults. Specifically adults who are REALLY into Star Trek. Likely the only thing these two shows have in common is that they both exceeded expectations, and pushed the boundaries of what you can do within their respective universes. Note: there will be

It’s the second half of our rundown of the gang of 5’s personal lists of 55 most important films released prior to 2000. The first round covered a lot of ground but four decades remain. And this time almost all in color! There’s the swinging sixties, the sleazy seventies, the epic eighties, and the nineties …. when most every good film is set in another time period. These are the films you could have, or should, have rented back when the phrase “Be kind, please rewind” was a thing. Thanks for

For the much anticipated 555th episode of the Regular Joes Podcast, Barry, Dave, Tod, Derryl and Brian (yes, FIVE of them) each offer up FIFTY FIVE significant films each of them think everyone should see. Sort of. The two caveats are, the films must be prior to 2000, and only a single film from a franchise. Think of it as a twentieth century bucket list for cinephiles. Or, as is often noted, what films Captain America needs to see after being thawed out from the ice. One last thing. Unlike films

This 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!
