598: It’s "the Holiday" Auction Season
Regular Joes Podcast
As the holiday season kicks into full swing , interestingly, it is now apparently the auction season. As, in the coming weeks, a large collection of offerings from Jim Henson Studios are on the block at Julian’s. And both the Prop Store and Heritage Auctions have large entertainment memorabilia auctions, kicking off within days of each other. So if you’re looking for that last-minute gift, particularly for one of the show hosts, this is your chance to pick up a Blade Runner blaster, Rocketeer helmet or Boba Fett’s Gun. Granted, they won’t arrive in time to be under the tree, but Barry,...

597: Predatory Behavior
Regular Joes Podcast
Predator Badlands is the eighth, or ninth film if you count the animated feature, in the long running franchise. Nearly three decades after Arnold Schwarzenegger said, “Get to the chopah!” these ugly dudes just keep coming back for more. This week, Dave, who sees more merit in the Predator films than most, talked Tod, who has skipped the entire franchise since 1997, into seeing Predator Badlands. The results are somewhat surprising. So, is this series, as Tod claims, a cash grab? Trying to squeeze another dollar out of a tired property? Does the overlap with the Alien universe give it some...

As per their annual ritual, this week the Regular Joe’s, Barry, Brian, Dave, Derryl and Tod traveled from near, and not as near, to attend the Rhode Island Comic Con., AKA The biggest con in the littlest State.

593: Tron Ares - Back on the Grid
Regular Joes Podcast
This week the Regular Joes go all in on Tron. Maybe you, like the most of rest of the movie going public did not see Tron: Aries last weekend, but Barry, Dave and Tod did. And, lest you doubt their commitment, they all re-watched Tron (1982) and Tron Legacy (2010). At this point, they pretty much bleed neon. The results are three different perspectives on the three films, and a sometimes surprising rundown of who liked what. There’s also a tribute to the late, great artist Drew Struzan, whose iconic imagery, including posters for Back to the Future and Blade Runner, span generations....

592: Display Space, the Finite Frontier
Regular Joes Podcast
Let’s face it, this really is a first world problem. I bought too much stuff and now I’m not sure what to do with it. This week the Regular Joe’s address, the third phase of collecting. First comes coveting, then comes acquisition, then, like the peripheral dog that caught the car, you have the thing and now you have to find a place to put it. This all seemed simpler decades ago, when there was seemingly less stuff. In reality, there are far more display options available now than ever before. Some very reasonably priced, If you have the space . . . it all comes down to space. If...

591: What The . . . Flag?
Regular Joes Podcast
You can live in a fascist utopia where everything seems ideal, as long as you don’t look too closely at the uncomfortable details. Or, you can live in a techno-oligarchy, where a handful of mega corporations make all of the decisions for you with little regard beyond their bottom line. Fortunately, you don’t have to choose, because Peacemaker on HBO Max (I think that’s what it is called this week) and Alien Earth on FX/Hulu let you stick a toe in each universe. This week, the Regular Joes wrap up the first season of Noah Hawley’s Alien Earth, and discuss the episode six reveal that...

This week the full slate of Regular Joes list their favorite Redford films, ranging from the epic to the obscure. And whether you favor the Sundance kid, Jeremiah Johnson, Jay Gatsby, Bob Woodward, or Roy Hobbs, Redford brought an endearing charisma and charm to every role in every era.
