579: We’re Gonna Need a Bigger DeLorean
Jul 4, 202501:28:07Tap to summarizeThis week, the full complement of Regular Joes, Barry, Brian, Dave, Derryl, and Tod take a moment to recognize two summer blockbusters that have reached milestone anniversaries. Steven Spielberg‘s Jaws (1975) which is looking pretty good at the half century mark. And Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future (1985) the film that earned Marty McFly, Doc Brown and the DeLorean (the cyber truck of its era) permanent positions, in pop culture. What made them stand out back in the day? What about the parade of sequels that followed each of these films? And, what’s more frightening, a twenty-five-foot great white, or parking with your horny 17 year old mom? There’s also the usual topics and Round of What’s in the Box. Thanks for listening!

578: Coming Distractions: Summer ‘25
Jun 27, 202501:26:36Tap to summarizeFor some reason, known only to network and streaming service executives, late spring often seems like a wasteland in the TV landscape, leaving even Tod struggling to find something to watch. In this episode the Regular Joe’s catch up on what they’ve been viewing in recent weeks. As we ease into summer there is hope, along with a pair of high stakes superhero films, on the horizon and they run down the high points for the coming weeks. Also, with Barry finally caught up, they close the door on The controversial second season of The Last of Us. And, in case you were wondering, what was on their respective minds this past Monday there’s the usual Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

577: Dancing with Flamethrowers
Jun 20, 202501:03:54Tap to summarizeThis week Dave and Tod went to the ballet. What, you’re not buying that? Then let’s go with, this week the two of them went to see Ballerina the John Wick spin-off starring Ana de Armas. Which, perhaps not surprisingly, is less a cultural experience and more like watching a John Wick film with a much more attractive, protagonist. If hot women and flamethrowers don’t do it for you, they also discuss the awesome, but eclectic, EXO6 1/6 Star Trek figure line. And then, tariffs be damned, there’s a Round of What’s in the Box. And, of course, there’s the usual Random topics. Thanks for listening!

575: WonderFest 2025 ... and here's to you Miss Robinson
Jun 6, 202501:50:34Tap to summarizeThis week the regular Regular Joe’s, along with Brian “I know a guy“ Mix, travel to Louisville, Kentucky for Wonderfest, the long, running convention for modelers, both amateur and professional. The 35th annual show hosted an amazing range of entries from the basic to the extreme, including more renderings of the Creature from the Black Lagoon than you could count. There was also a broad selection of dealers, assuring that even the non-modelers had to fly home with something. They were joined there by many longtime friends, including. Steve Smith who talks about how he transitioned from attendee to vendor with his own custom offerings. Along the way they also sit down with Marta Kristen, Judy Robinson in the original Lost in Space 1965-1968. She shared memories of working on that series and, because Barry had to ask, playing Lorelei the mermaid in Beach Blanket Bingo (1965). A good time was had by all. Thanks for listening!

574: Final Mission?
May 30, 202501:14:09Tap to summarizeAfter three decades and seven previous cinematic outings, super agent Ethan Hunt clocks in for, what is said be, his final mission. This week the Joes pass on Lilo and Stitch and instead check out Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. Does this newest entry in the venerable action thriller franchise break out of the time tested mold of, a world threatening McGuffin, death-defying stunts, and lots of Tom Cruise running? SPOILER. No, not so much. Does it do an exceptional job of staying in its lane, even while raising the stakes, and looking amazingly good doing it? Again SPOILER, yes, yes it does. While no one who has ever seen a Mission Impossible film will be surprised by what they see, they won’t be disappointed either. There’s also the usual Random Topics, including some superfluous, Star Wars themed, dead horse beating, and a round of What’s in the Box. Thanks for listening!

Episode 439: Hello There!
Jul 8, 2022Tap to summarizeSince Disney took over the helm of the Star Wars Galaxy fan response has been, well … mixed. And while you can’t please everyone, Obi-Wan Kenobi’s six episode run proved the House of Mouse can do right by a legacy character. While not a perfect series, Obi-Wan aptly demonstrated that even a story you think you know can be improved in the telling. Note: there will be SPOILERS, but since you probably saw a film called Star Wars at some point you likely knew where things were going. This past weekend Barry and Dave visited EternalCon mostly to see 1970’s TV icons Lee Majors and Lyndsey Wagner AKA the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman. Because, really, who wouldn’t want to if you could? There’s also an extra large, bonus sized Random Topics because they skipped a week. Thanks for listening!
Transcribe →Episode 037: Th-th-th-That's (Not) All Folks!
Feb 14, 2014Tap to summarizeGet yourself a bowl of Quisp or Count Choclula and join The Regular Joes for a look back at the Saturday morning cartoons of the seventies and early eighties. What holds up today, and what seems inexorably tied to its era. Is it just nostalgia or were the cartoons of our youth somehow better than what we have today? And, for that matter, how many of the cartoons we associate with our childhoods are actually the product of an earlier time. All this plus Show and Tell and another round of Who Would Win in a Fight.
