This week the Regular Joes gathered for their annual summer barbecue. It’s rare that the hosts are in one place at one time, and it’s even less often that their spouses are all together as well. This time around, in an exercise that at least one of the hosts thought might “end badly,” the Joe’s asked questions of their wives. Some of the answers ar…

An Aliens franchise film is not typically the sort of thing the goes unnoticed. Nevertheless Aliens: Romulus snuck up on the Joes like a Xenomorph in a tight crawl space. Unless you have been living on a distant mining colony you have likely heard Romulus is both doing well at the box office and has found favor with viewers and critics alike. Somet…

This week Brian Mix stops by to catch up on his recent barnstorming tour across the country. The who, what, where and when of the events and conventions he hit leave the other Joes seriously jealous of Brian’s “retirement.” Barry and Dave also attended a con , yes just one. But, based on their report, TerrificCon sounds … well, terrific. If you dou…

This week the Regular Joes let Tod talk about Batman the Caped Crusader, the animated series he has been waiting for since 1995 (when Fox dumbed down Batman the Animated series). Does this simultaneously updated and retro take on The Dark Knight hold up to Paul Dini’s original series? Could Anything? You will likely need to watch more than one epis…

There are people who say the era of Summer blockbusters is behind us. There are also people who say audiences are done with superhero films, and that Marvel Studios has lost its way. Then Deadpool & Wolverine happened, and the three-quel for Marvel’s most annoying, talkative and violent (yes, this includes the Punisher) character, breaks all the ru…

The last few weeks have been rough on Barry. Few people have as deep and abiding love for Star Wars as he does. But, sometimes love hurts. While other, so-called Star Wars fans, wanted nothing more than to tear down The Acolyte, Barry did his best to remain optimistic. And with the courage and valor of a Jedi (at least what we used to expect from a…

Do you have an empty wall or perhaps shelf in your home or office that needs just the right object to help tie the room together? Might we suggest the original art from the Key Largo movie poster?

This week the Regular Joes , plus the Irregular Joes got together to hang out for Tod’s birthday. They had a vague idea of a few topics they were going to talk about, but in true RJ style never actually got there.

This week the Regular Joes wrap up Dark Matter on Apple TV+. Covering the, at times perplexing, conclusion. Come on people, this is Quantum Physics. How much do you really want us to dumb it down for you? They also catch up on The Acolyte, The Disney+ Star Wars series which has garnered mostly good critic reviews, while fan reviews remain in the ba…

If recent episodes have left you thinking the Regular Joe’s are now just grumpy old men who don’t like anything, this week they mix things up a bit. It has taken six months, but now everyone has watched Godzilla Minus One. The story of a giant monster that attacks Japan. Sorry, if that was a SPOILER. Here’s another one, it’s freaking awesome! Just …

After some well needed vacation, and some business travel, the Regular Joe’s are all back. This week they talk about the new Disney+ Star Wars series The Acolyte. Unless you’ve been really tuned out (if you have, good for you) It’s likely you’ve heard this show has set all time records with Star Wars fans … but not in the good way. The Joe’s talk a…

From early images of redesigned Klingons to a showrunner who departed before the first episode aired, Star Trek Discovery has had its challenges. As the first series of the “Nu-Trek” era Discovery was tasked with bringing in a new generation of viewers and appeasing existing Trek fans. While it did not always succeed with the later goal, in five se…

This week, the Regular Joes pay tribute to the late great Roger Corman (1926-2024) very likely the most prolific B movie Producer/Director ever. Whether you saw a bootleg copy of the never released first Fantastic Four (1994) film, rocked out with the Ramones and Riff Randall in Rock ‘n’ Roll High School (1979) or savored the 1960’s Vincent Price E…

This week the Joes address the side effects of a lifetime of collecting. At some point you need to go through the accumulated detritus to find that overlooked box containing the Ark of the Covenant, and decide whether or not to keep that old sled marked “Rosebud.” In May the Fourth news, there also another Trailer for the Star Wars: The Acolyte, wh…

Zack Snyder, the guy who gave us Rebel Moon Part 1: A Child of Fire late last year is back with the second installment in his would be original franchise. Normally we would write something here intended to make you curious as to what the Regular Joes thought of this film. SPOILER, they did not like Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver any more than any…

While not every Star Trek fan knows the name Trimble, every true Star Trek fan should. This past week we lost John Trimble, husband of BJo (Betty JoAnn) Trimble, two SciFi fans who stepped up in big way in the 1960’s and had a galaxy sized impact on the things we love. As a tribute we replay our 2020 interview with John and Bjo, from episode 347: T…

This week, the Regular Joe’s wrap up their brief return to the crowded (by walkers and spin offs) landscape of The Walking Dead to discuss the now completed six episode run of Walking Dead: Those Who Live.

In 1979 Ridley Scott combined, sci-fi, suspense, and a the nightmares of H. R. Giger to create the groundbreaking film Alien.

This week the Regular Joes, plus subject expert Brian Mix, address the topic of Star Trek uniforms. Note: please don’t call them “costumes.” That’s like calling an action figure a “doll.” With nearly sixty years of Star Trek, eleven series, and thirteen films, which of the dozens of uniforms would make the most sense for doing your day job in space…

This week the Regular Joes finally get around to looking at The Marvels, the 33rd and worst performing of all the Marvel Cinematic Universe offerings. Did it require too much homework upfront? Are Marvel bro’s just not into women? Or is it another harbinger of doom for an overworked franchise? Apple TV+ just keeps cranking out ambitious series. Thi…

Barry is back from his most recent big adventure (more on that soon) and the Regular Joes sit down to talk about the wrap-up of two shows.

As 2023 fades into memory the Regular Joes, along with Irregular Joes Derryl DePriest and Brian Mix, take a look back to the year that was.

Zack Snyder has made some good films. Rebel Moon: Part I. A Child of Fire is not one of them. Described as both the start of a new sci-fi franchise, and the byproduct of a failed Star Wars pitch, what Rebel Moon most resembles is amalgamation of scenes and themes from a long list of other familiar films. You haven’t seen it? Here’s a recap, Gamora,…

With the holidays fast approaching the Regular Joes pause to reflect upon the difficulty of finding gifts for people who are hard to buy for.

Prompted by Dave’s recent observation about the scarcity of good sci-fi / fantasy / action / adventure genre films from the 1990’s the Regular Joes dive into the last decade of the last millennium. And while the 1990’s does not holdup to the decade immediately prior, there are a good many films from a wide range of genres that are worth a second lo…

It’s that time again when the Regular Joe’s thoughts turn to the Rhode Island Comicon. Making the trek to Providence has been a RJ tradition for 10 years, pretty much as long as the podcast has been running.

While recent shows have been somewhat narrowly focused, this week’s is decidedly not. One might even walk away with the impression that there was no discernible plan at all.

Prompted by photos Brian recently shared, which revealed the depth and dedication of his own early nerdiness, Barry, Dave and Tod delve into their own, not quite, secret origins.

It’s another one of those weeks, when fortune, or scheduling executives at Disney+ and Paramount+, favors us with new episodes of both a Star Trek and Star Wars series.
