565: The Electric Bill
Regular Joes Podcast
The Electric State is a “flop.” A $275 million failure for Netflix directed by the Russo Brothers who sole talent seems to be directing Marvel films … Unless you a have actually seen it. Because real people place this film a lot higher than its 15% rotten tomatoes critic rating. This week the Regular Joe’s unanimously agree, it’s quite possible to watch The Electric State. enjoy the characters, the story, and yes, the very cool robots, without weighing that against what the film cost to make. Give it a try. No one’s asking you to write a check … other than your monthly Netflix...

564: Daredevil: The Man Without Costume
Regular Joes Podcast
This week Brian Mix joins the regular Regular Joe’s as they look over the list of treasures and curios from the upcoming three day Prop Store Entertainment Memorabilia Auction. There are some truly amazing items for sale, particularly if you’re in the income bracket to drop a half a million on a piece of Star Wars history. Fans of the original Netflix Daredevil series have been waiting six plus years to see the man without fear back in action. And while Daredevil Born Again is clearly building up to a rematch between Wilson Fisk and Matt Murdock’s alter ego, the consensus among the...

563: Avengers Reassemble
Regular Joes Podcast
It’s been nearly 6 years since Avengers Endgame. It’s well past time to get the band … or something like the band, back together. This week the Regular Joe’s each roll out their suggested roster for the next iteration of Marvel’s premiere super team. Think of it like fantasy sports for nerds. As you might expect there’s some common ground, but also some radically divergent ideas, as they forge the respective teams of old guard, new blood, and a few wild cards. As the Russo Brother’s next Avengers film is currently slated for June 2026 we may not have to wait too long to see who...

562: Deep Dives
Regular Joes Podcast
This week the Regular Joe’s take a deep dive into Random Topics. There’s a lot of stuff to talk about, what was Kathleen Kennedy, maybe, possibly leaving Lucas film and James Bond being handed off to a company who can’t figure out what size box to ship tiny items in.

561: Red HULK, White & Blue
Regular Joes Podcast
It’s a New World Order. Scratch that, it’s a Brave New World, as the fourth Captain America film makes its big screen debut. This time around it’s Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) who wields the shield, while still wearing the wings, as if he is not quite sure this gig is gonna last. This delayed, retitled, and much reshot MCU film marks Cap 2.0’s first big screen appearance and the follow up to the 2021 Disney Plus series Falcon and the Winter Soldier. So, is it good? The Regular Joes answer with a resounding, “sort of.” They run down the good points and the bad points as the first of...

560: James Cawley and the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour
Regular Joes Podcast
This week, the Regular Joes, all five of them, make the Trek to Ticonderoga. There are two good reasons to visit this small New York town. Fort Ticonderoga is the site of the first American victory in the Revolutionary War, and the site of the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour. Note: only one of these is accessible in winter. Hint, it’s the one with phasers and not muskets. While there the Joes interview James Cawley, creator of this unique attraction, about his own involvement in the Star Trek franchise, as well as his many other interests. We all have our own respective passions, but few...

559: Dissection 31
Regular Joes Podcast
For 35 years Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) has held the dubious distinction of being the worst Star Trek film ever made, but that inauspicious run is over. With the release of the Paramount+ film Star Trek: Section 31 there’s a new benchmark for bad in the Trek universe. To spare you one hour and 35 minutes of weak, nonsensical plot, thin characters, and cheesy gimmicks, the Regular Joe’s watched Section 31 for you. Note: there will be SPOILERS, but think of it as a “mercy spoiling.” From the far future we move to recent past as the long awaited MCU version of Fantastic...

557: Of Pirates, Ensigns and Vigilantes
Regular Joes Podcast
This week the Regular Joe’s cover the wrap up of two sci-fi series. Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is the first child centric Disney+ offering from that universe. Lower Decks was the first animated Star Trek series since 1975, and was intended for adults. Specifically adults who are REALLY into Star Trek. Likely the only thing these two shows have in common is that they both exceeded expectations, and pushed the boundaries of what you can do within their respective universes. Note: there will be SPOILERS. And, because it’s continually looping in Tod‘s head, they also talk about the just...
