This is it! It's the episode you've been waiting months for. After much anticipation, Barry, Dave and Tod discuss the trailer for the new Lost in Space series. Oh . . . and we also announce the winners of the annual JoeCademy awards. Our viewer's poll to recognize the overlooked films from the past year that we loved . . . or at least hoped we would love. Also, Barry and Tod discuss (in a mostly spoiler free way) Robert Kirkman's Invincible comic which just finished it's 15 year, 144 issue, run. As always, thanks for Listening!

On this weeks show, the guys sit down with Tom Spina from Regal Robot and Tom Spina Designs to talk Star Wars, screen used movie prop and costume collecting and much more. Plus, Tom spills the beans on all the amazing new licensed Star Wars themed products that Regal Robot just made available this week and even offers Regular Joes listeners a 20% off code!

Dave is on vacation this week but still manages to check in as the Regular Joes talk about Black Panther. Marvel Studios first film of its second decade is breaking box office records and wowing both fans and critics. Not surprisingly reactions from the home team run the gamut from "really liked it" to "loved it." Find out exactly why, and how Marvel elevated another second string property from semi-obscurity to a national sensation. Also: Tod bottoms out his DVR, and finally catches up on Walking Dead…though he's still not quite sure. Thanks for Listening!

After a controversial, and by most accounts uneven freshmen season, Star Trek Discovery wraps up with a wow moment few expected. Hear what the Regular Joes thought about the show and what they hope to see in year two. It seems there's a surplus of Sci Fi offerings these days. This week we check out Netflix's cyberpunk noir offering Altered Carbon. Also included, a few choice Random Topics, and round of What's in The Box. Thanks for Listening!

Last week Tod expressed doubt about the existence of Solo: A Star Wars Story. In response Disney stepped up, releasing first a teaser, then a trailer proving conclusively that they really do have just under 2 minutes of usable film in the can. Find out what the Regular Joes think about Solo (both the trailer and the casting) as well as the prospect of yet another slate of Star Wars films, and updated teasing about a live action SW TV series. Also included, a round of Show And Tell where Barry and Tod share a few treasured items from their childhoods, and Dave Demonstrates that he, in fact, still possesses everything from his childhood. Oddly, at no time did anyone mention Star Trek Discovery during this episode . . . that's coming next week, along with a first look at Nextflix's Altered Carbon. Remember to vote for the 4th annual JoeCademy Awards at Regularjoes.com. Thanks for listening!

First up we talk about the newly released trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp, next we cover the, as of yet MIA, trailer for Solo: A Star Wars Story. Then on to a Discovery recap as the newest Star Trek iteration continues to go where no one has gone before. And, somewhere along the line, we work in a round of What's in the Box. Finally, in our annual effort to recognize those films we love (or dislike) which get little or no recognition from the so-called Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, we present the 2018 nominations for the Joe-Cademy awards. As you might guess if you have listened to our shows since late December this year's selections are not without controversy. And, because we are not like those other stodgy award shows without actual rules and guidelines, we even work in a few categories beyond the realm of film. Now it's your turn to weigh in and cast your ballot. Vote at Regularjoes.com. Thanks for listening!

This week, with the debut of our "What's on My Workbench" segment; listeners get an unprecedented look at the projects current under development in the respective Regular Joes secret laboratories. You will want to check out the accompanying images on Instagram. Also on tap are the usual Random Topics…with another segue into what has proven to be the most divisive subject we have hit upon, Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Shifting to the less controversial "Star" franchise, another week of Discovery has brought with it more disclosures than we were likely ready for. Lastly we have What's on the Box. Thanks for Listening!

In the words of the late, great Tom Petty, "the waaaaaaaiting is the hardest part." This week the Regular Joes add three long awaited 1/6 scale items to their collections and take time out to tell you about them. First up, from 2016's Avengers: Age of Ultron it's Iron Man's HulkBuster Armor. More than two years in development the "figure" is biggest, heaviest and most ambitious Hot Toys has produced to date. Next, the QMx Star Trek figures have been a hit with The Regular Joes, this week they each add the iconic Captain's chair from the bridge of the NCC-1701 to their respective shelves. And lastly, from 1989, and the far flung future of 2015, it's Marty McFly from Back to the Future 2 Hover-board and all. Find out what is noticeably missing from this figure and what Barry does about it. All this, plus the usual regular Random Topics and weekly recap of Star Trek Discovery. Thanks for listening!

Star Trek Discovery is Back, a new batch of Black Mirror has dropped, and the first season of Seth McFarlane's The Orville has wrapped. Simply put, there's a whole lot of Trekin goin on. Black Mirror's U.S.S. Callister episode infuses social commentary into a familiar sixties sci-fi setting, The Orville (in a full reverse from our first impression) has boldly gone where no series has gone before, and Discovery goes deep on Star Trek canon. Find out where the Regular Joes come down on all this, plus a handful of Random Topics, and a round of What's in the Box. Warning: this episode contains hypothetical postulations on spacial and temporal phenomena as applied to totally make-believe astrophysics. Thanks for Listening!
