This week, the Regular Joe's play Monday evening quarterback, providing color commentary on the big sports-ball matchup from this past weekend. Who won and who lost. Did Pepsi score by co-opting polar bears from their competitor Coca-Cola? Did callbacks to 90's hits Jurassic Park and Good Will Hunting work for Xfinity and Dunkin' Donuts? There were a whole lot of AI ads for companies whose names you've already forgotten, more big names than you can count, and more money spent than seems even remotely reasonable. Does it matter? One expert says no. There's also round of What's in the Box, and What's on my Workbench for some project updates and tool tips. Thanks for watching and listening!

This week the Regular Joes talk TV. Which may not seem all that unusual, but it has been a while since they did a rundown of all the new and returning series in the pipeline for the coming months. And there is a lot of them. From returning favorites like The Boys, For All Mankind and Daredevil: Born Again, to intriguing new offerings like Lanterns, Young Sherlock, and Wonder Man. Speaking of Wonder Man, there is also a brief, mostly spoiler free, discussion of this unconventional new Marvel/Disney+ series which Dave somehow only managed to watch two episodes of. What's with that? The man can knock out three Disney parks in a day, and he can't commit to four hours of a TV series? There's also the usual Random Topics at a round of What's in the Box.

Model Maker and Concept Artist John Eaves has made a huge mark on the Star Trek franchise, as well as many other universes including The MCU. This week John sits down with the Regular Joes Barry, Dave and Tod, plus Irregular Joe Brian Mix, to discuss how he got started, his long career, and the stuff he collects himself. It's a great peek behind the curtain at all the things we love with the man who designed one USS Enterprise, and reimagined two others. How cool is that! Thanks for watching and listening!

Starfleet Academy is a concept that's been kicking around for decades, but has never quite gotten off the launchpad. At long last it's here. But is this the show Trek fans want? Set in the far-future, or is it the future of the future? Starfleet Academy picks up the post Discovery timeline to go WHEN no one has gone before. The Regular Joe's sum up their thoughts two episodes in. Along with Random Topics, Barry, Dave and Tod also reflect on the end of an era for Star Wars as the door closes behind Kathleen Kennedy.

It's time once again for the Regular Joe's holiday gift exchange. Basically three of the hardest people on the planet to buy for swap gifts. What could go wrong? But first, Derryl and Brian join Barry, Dave and Tod to share their thoughts on nearly 10 years and five seasons of Netflix supernatural phenomenon Stranger Things. Who would've believed back when the first season aired that the most improbable thing in the final episodes would be that these actors are still supposed to be in high school. Some will nitpick, some will second guess, but the Duffer brothers took us on a hell of a ride. Thanks for watching, and listening!

583: Fantastic Five: First Thoughts This week all five Regular Joe’s, Barry, Brian, Dave, Derryl and Tod, sit down to talk about the newest entry in Marvel’s ever expanding MCU, Fantastic Four: First Steps. Is the fourth attempt to adapt the Fantastic Four the movie we have been waiting for? Will this film be able to turn around Marvel’s lackluster box office record of late? Can five guys, with differing degrees of exposure to the Fantastic Four comics, see eye-to-eye on the latest bid to bring Marvel‘s first family from the page to the screen? And, lastly, can they talk about FF without comparing it to Superman? SPOILER, they can not. There’s also the usual Random Topics, a round of What’s in the Box, and a brief tribute to the late, great Ozzy Osbourne. Thanks for listening!

582: Strange New Episodes This week, the Regular Joes take a 1st look at 2 episodes from the 3rd season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. While very different in tone the two episodes are both deeply rooted and original series Trek lore. This prompts some next level nerding as the three take a deep dive down the Jeffries tube. The most recent Heritage Hollywood entertainment auction just wrapped up. Barry and Dave give their thoughts on some of the items they were able to see in person at the recent auction preview. The bottom line is, prices aren’t going down. Particularly if you’re interested in an old sled, someone once threw away, or 60’s era knickknack that doubles as housing for a genie. There’s also the usual rounds of Random Topics and What’s in the Box! Thanks for listening!

Superman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s comic book creation, has seen numerous incarnations over the last eight decades. The last son of Krypton has been heard on radio, and seen in animation, serials, films, and several TV series. While each is a product of its time, some are clearly hits while others are misses. At long last James Gunn, best known for Guardians of the Galaxy, has his turn at bat. And, in the view of critics, movie goers, and all three Regular Joes, he has hit it out of the ballpark. The Film both reclaims Superman‘s position as the cornerstone of the DC universe and heralds an exciting new era under Gunn’s stewardship. Note: there will be SPOILERS. So, if you have had any hesitation, just see the movie. There’s also the usual round of Random Topics and yet more What’s in the Box! Thanks for listening!

Few TV series have taken hits as hard as Ironheart on Disney+. Review bombed even before the first episode aired, raged about online by comment bros angered by the notion of (dead) MCU Tony Stark being replaced by a black girl, it hardly stood a chance. The question is, did it deserve one? On the plus side they got it over mercifully quick, six episodes released in just two weeks at least minimized the suffering. The Joes, who have all watched it to some degree give their perspectives on what they’ve done right, and what they’ve done wrong. There’s also the usual Random Topics a rare round of Shirt Up, and the inevitable What’s in The Box. Thanks for listening!
