Regular Joes Podcast

It's all Joes on deck as the regular hosts welcome Irregular Joes Derryl DePriest and Brian Mix. As they tend to do when everyone jumps in it's kind of a free for all with no set topic. Not that that matters, as these guys have no problem filling an hour or so. Hopes are universally high for the final season of Picard. But hopes have been high before. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me three times … ? Fortunately we won't have to wait long to find out. This week's round of What's in the Box features several long awaited items including Hasbro's very large and very impressive Ghostbusters Proton Pack. Thanks for listening!

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 Willow the series and Dave references his favorite Tim Burton film. They also cover the New trailer for The Mandalorian Season 3, which may well be the best thing there is in a certain galaxy far, far, away. And then there's What's in the Box, where the three hosts talk about the, EXO-6 Star Trek the Motion Picture: Kolinahr Spock figure. Which is equally awesome and scarce. Thanks for listening!

This 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 up on what is worth watching as we wile away the winter months in typically less hospitable place than Florida. Thanks for listening!

As we leave 2022 behind the Regular Joes, along with Irregular Joes Derryl DePriest and Brian Mix, take one last look in the rear view mirror. What TV shows and Films, from a surprisingly full year, did they like best? What were their biggest disappointments? A few of the answers will likely surprise you, like Brian's woefully misguided dislike for one show . . . just for an example. As listeners know, the Joes are all collectors, and they also cover the things they were most excited about from the past year, as well as the things they are looking forward to in the year to come. There's also a recap of last year's resolutions (never good to scrutinize those) and some likely equally well intentioned plans for 2023. Finally, the hosts bid farewell to those who left us this past year. As is tradition, this was a drinking show. So mix up your favorite Tiki drink, kick back, and take one last look at the year that was. DISCLAIMER: If you listen while commuting Regular Joes Entertainment LLC. does not condone consumption of Tiki drinks while driving. Those little umbrellas can block your view. Thanks for listening! And Happy 2023

As 2022 came to a close, the Regular Joes convened at a not so secret location (Dave's House) to break bread and to prove once again that with a little thought you can actually buy gifts for people who literally have everything, it's the annual Regular Joe's gift exchange where you listen in as we open presents! We will be back next week with the full crew for our 2022 year in review show. We sincerely thank you all for listening and hope you all have a very safe and happy New Year.

This 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 has loved Willow since seeing it as a child/young adult. Dave, who has referred to Willow as "the worst film ever," also harbors an endless pit of bile for director Tim Burton who is deeply involved with Wednesday. Tod doesn't really have a dog in the hunt, but watched all available episodes because, well, he's Tod. If you're curious how all this plays out you should listen. You may be surprised. There's also the usual Random Topics and a round of WHAT'S in the Box. Thanks for listening!

After a brief hiatus, the Regular Joe's are back. This week they dig into new trailers for two of the most eagerly awaited films due in spring of 2023. First up is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It's been a long time coming, but in June we will see the final chapter in the Indiana Jones saga. Clearly there's lots of action, Indy style adventure, and even Nazis to punch. Could this be the "do over" we've been waiting for since 2008? Next up it's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is reputed to be James Gunn's final take on the merry band of misfits he introduced to the Marvel Universe just eight years ago. If the trailer is any indication of what we can expect, things are about to get ugly for the crew of the Bowie. There's also the usual Random Topics and a round of What's in the Box featuring some long-awaited items. Because pre-orders don't really count as buying stuff for yourself just a few weeks before Christmas, right? Thanks for listening!

In what is clearly the most eagerly anticipated Holiday Special since 1978, Disney + / Marvel has just dropped The Guardians of The Galaxy Holiday Special. And it's everything you, or at least the Regular Joes, could have imagined. In addition to doing something no MCU property has ever attempted before, the special proves that time honored rule that, the one thing that makes everything better is, yes, Bacon. While we are on the topic Disney+ Andor, the twelve episode prequel to Rogue One, just wrapped. In many ways this was a Star War series like no other and opinions widely vary. See where the Regular Joes come down on the first of two planned seasons. There's also the usual Random Topics and a round of What's in the Box.

This week, the Regular Joes start off with a tribute to Jason David Frank, best known for portraying the Green Power Ranger. Jason was a staple at conventions all around the world and his loss has been felt across the pop culture community. Next the Joes talk about the premiere episode of the Amazon Prime original series "The Peripheral" and let you know if they think it's worth a try. There's also the usual Random Topics and a round of What's in the Box. Listen all the way to the end for an encore presentation of our 2017 interview with Jason David Frank, and as always, Thanks for listening!

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the Multiplex there's yet another superhero film. This week it's Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which not only crushed DC's recent offering Black Adam at the box office but runs more than 35 minutes longer. Because that's better, right? This week the Regular Joes break down Wakanda Forever (Note: There will be SPOILERS) which seems tasked with giving both closure and, ever so slowly, moving the MCU forward into Phase 5. Is this the film you've been hoping for? Well, if you are the guy who has been waiting to see Namor, aka The Submariner, make his big screen debut since 1939...well, some stuff has changed. Wakanda Forever! This week the Joes take a further step toward being cranky old men as they inaugurate a new segment, The Airing of Grievances, as Barry tries to give someone you have never heard of money...and they want more. There's also the usual Random topics and a round of what's in the box. Thanks for listening!
