It's an episode about nothing, and, everything. A little of this, a little of that, and just a bit more random than usual. As the deadline for cancellation/renewal looms for many of their favorite TV shows the guys review which are safe and which are still "on the bubble." In a TV year that generated very few successful new dramas the Regular Joe's pitch a concept that would make the most successful new drama of the season actually interesting to them. All this plus, What's in the Box, and a geek free, more or less, round of Shirt Up. Thanks for listening!

One of the traditional early signs of spring is the blooming of the summer blockbuster season movie trailers.

Other Franchise offerings include War for the Planet of the Apes, Alien: Covenant and the Mummy. Also of interest is the Charlize Theron film Atomic Blonde . . . which you really, really need to see. Find out which films the Regular Joes are most looking forward to, how the concept of trailers has changed in the age of viral marketing, and lastly, we ask, can a trailer reveal to much? Also, on the film theme, last week Dave and Tod give a quick recap of a recent Tribeca Film Festival Director's Series Talk where they spent an hour and a half up close and personal Scarlett Johansson. . . oh, Iron Man director Jon Favreau was there too. All this plus Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

In the the last few weeks Taken and Time after Time and Training Day were added to a 2016/2017 TV schedule that already included, The Exorcist, Frequency, Lethal Weapon and Westworld. While the practice of adapting films into TV series has been common since the earliest days of the medium the last few years have seen an huge escalation of such projects. Is the TV industry running out of new concepts, or is it simply the ease of selling a known property? The Regular Joes weigh in on this phenomenon, assess what works and what doesn't, preview a staggeringly long list of film to TV projects reportedly in development, and offer their own suggestions for Movies to migrate to the living room. All this plus Random Topics and What's In The Box. Thanks for Listening!
