Star Trek the Next Generation came into its own in it’s third season. The Third season of original Star Trek gave us Turnabout Intruder and Spock’s Brain. As Star Trek Discovery wraps up its third season the regular Regular Joes, plus adjunct Joe Brian Mix, assess how the series fared. What worked, what didn’t? Did it serve it characters well? As this was the third major redirection in three years are we getting close to what we expect from in the flagship series from a streaming service that leaned heavily into this franchise? Lastly how does it hold up against the other two Trek series that aired this calendar year? We also have some Random Topics and a round of What’s in the Box. Because, well … the economy is not gonna bounce back on its own. Thanks for listening!

The Regular Joes are back from their holiday hiatus and it’s time to catch up. First up they toss out a few random topics.

With the pre-Christmas self purchase pact (mostly) off, it’s time for the first round of What’s in the Box for the new year. Lastly, the Joes give their take on the the eagerly anticipated Wonder Woman 1984. Note: there will be SPOILERS. As well as disappointment, a brief effort at rationalization, and a good amount of sheer bafflement. Thanks for listening!

Don’t get us wrong, season one of the Mandalorian was good ... ok very good. But, by any objective standard season two was mind blowing. If you have not yet watched the season finale, you will want to go do that now. Really. There will be SPOILERS ... lots and lots of SPOILERS. The regular hosts are once again joined by Derryl DePriest and Brian Mix as they process what they just saw. And, even though folks really should stop buying stuff for themselves at this time of year, there’s a round of Show and Tell. Thanks for Listening!

If you are a Star Wars fan, or a Marvel fan, or a fan of anything else that comes from the entertainment juggernaut that is Disney last week Christmas came early.  Disney’s investors Day 2020 detailed, more or less, plans for dozens of Disney + TV series, including at least 10 Marvel and 10 Star Wars offerings, coming in the next three years.  Oh, and films, you want films, Marvel, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and a whole lot of kid stuff the Joes didn’t really care about. This giant sized info dump gave the Regular Joes much to talk about, ponder, and speculate on as they get ready for the streaming onslaught in 2021. It’s a Tsunami of nerdy goodness heading our way.  Ride the wave baby!  There’s also the usual Random  Topics and a round of What’s in The Box.  Oh, and  they never even get around to talking Mandalorian. Go figure. Thanks for Listening!

For those of you who never expected to see the words “Star Wars” and “Holiday Special” used together again in any authorized way, Disney+ offers up an animated Lego revisitation of the Life Day holiday celebration. Does it improve upon the original? That’s kind of a low bar. Without question, it’s the best Star Wars Holiday Special constructed of Legos we have seen … so far. Ok, so just in case you are the one person in the galaxy who doesn’t think the Mandalorian is the Star Wars flavored awesomeness we have been craving for well … decades, you are going to have to suck it up and sit through the Joes talking about Mando yet again. Look, people its the Bantha in the room, you can’t not talk about it. There’s also Random topics, a round of Whats in the Box, all part of the Joe’s selfless effort to jumpstart our economic recovery. Thanks for listening!

This week the Prop Store held another auction of rare and one of a kind items from film and television. While it is true most of us can’t afford to swim among the big fish who will gobble up these goodies it’s also fun to play the home game, and peruse the catalog for the props we would most want. This most recent auction offers up quite a selection and the Regular Joes have whittled down their lists to those items they most covet ranging from the Star Wars universe, to Bruce Lee films, to the inevitable Tom Cruise artifact. Ok, yes last week they talked Mandalorian, but that was before Dave Filoni brought one of Barry and Tod’s favorite Clone Wars characters into the live action Star Wars universe. Oh, also The Child (aka Baby Yoda) gets a name, and the stage is set for one of the most well known characters in the no longer canon Star Wars Expanded Universe. If any of this last paragraph make sense to you just listen!  There’s also What’s in the Box. Thanks for listening!

The Regular Joes are joined by Tom Spina, the man behind Regal Robot and Tom Spina Designs to discuss the reason we all subscribe to Disney +, The Mandalorian…specifically, the first half of season 2.  They also talk about all the cool things going on in Tom Spina’s shop, the new items available from Regal Robot and the Black Friday sales.  There’s also a round of Whats in the Box and more.  As always, thanks for listening!

It doesn’t take much effort to rewatch a film like Goldfinger. It shows no commitment to cue up The Rock. What takes true dedication is committing 102 extremely long minutes to a film that you know Is going to be excruciatingly bad. This week the Regular Joes pay tribute to the late Sean Connery by watching the the 1974 John Boorman sci-fi/Fantasy film Zardoz for the latest installment of Disaster-Piece Theater. And, because misery loves company, they bring long-time friends Jim Bush and Derryl DePriest along for the ride. Please Note: the Regular Joes Podcast accepts no responsibility for any lasting psychological effects suffered by listeners who choose to watch this film. There’s also the usual Random Topics and an extra large helping of What’s in The Box. Thanks for listening!
