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 One, is back, depicting the title character’s evolution from, dude out for himself, to rebel hero. While not everyone agrees on how Tony Gilroy chose to use screen time, the first of  four three episode arcs reminds us how good Star Wars really can be. There’s also a round of What’s in the Box and the usual Random Topics.

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. Star Wars Celebration 2025 yielded lots of upcoming Star Wars news, including films that we actually believe are going to happen. But, we’ve been fooled before. Lastly there’s updated trailers for Tron: Aries (October 10), Fantastic Four: First Steps (July 25), and the soon to drop Thunderbolts*. Note: Excitement levels vary widely for these projects. There’s also a round of What’s in the Box and the usual Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

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 by the time you hear this episode. There’s also the usual Random Topics, and a round of What’s in the box. Thanks for listening!

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 which did not reach minimum bid. Note: any discussions of a kidnap related felony are included solely for entertainment purposes and do reflect actual plans. And before all that there’s a more random than usual cacophony of Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

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. Give it a try. No one’s asking you to write a check … other than your monthly Netflix subscription. They also take a look at two recently dropped trailers. Ballerina is a John Wick adjacent action film, starring Ana de Armas. And if that hasn’t already sold you, what will? And coming soon to a galaxy far, far away, Andor, Disney’s Rogue One prequel series is finally back for a second season, and it looks like we’re getting to the good part. Or at least the K2 SO part. There’s also a round of What’s in the Box and the usual Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

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 to a rematch between Wilson Fisk and Matt Murdock’s alter ego, the consensus among the Regular Joe’s is, it’s taking its own time getting there. Tod remains endlessly optimistic, while the others are really hoping for a flash of crimson soon. There’s also a round of What’s in the Box and the usual Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

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 film is currently slated for June 2026 we may not have to wait too long to see who comes closest to the next line up. There’s also the usual round of Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

This week the Regular Joe’s take a deep dive into Random Topics. 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+. And, if that’s not your kind of thing, they catch up on what they are watching in the final week before Daredevil: Born Again airs and all other TV watching pales in comparison. Or so Tod insists. Thanks for Listening!

It’s a New World Order. Scratch that, it’s a Brave New World, as the fourth Captain America film makes its big screen debut. 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? The Regular Joes answer with a resounding, “sort of.” They run down the good points and the bad points as the first of three 2025 Marvel films falls short of it’s box office hopes. Did we mention Harrison Ford is now Thunderbolt Ross … and a Hulk? There’s also the usual Random Topics and a round of What’s in the Box. Thanks for listening!
