613: Firefly and Starfleet Academy
This week, The Regular Joe’s take a last look at the first season of the newest Star Trek spinoff series, Starfleet Academy. Dismissed by many as part of NU Trek “(aka not my Star Trek) Academy presents a starting point for new viewers as well as new cadets. Is it perfect? No, it is not. But there’s enough good there to be hopeful for the future. And isn’t that what Star Trek is supposed to be about? Firefly, another canceled before it peaked sci-fi series, hopes to return in animated form. While this is not exactly the news everyone was hoping for, any chance to get this particular band back together is welcome. There’s also the usual random topics in a Round of What’s in the box. Thanks for listening, or watching … no pressure.

612: Propstore March 2026 Auction
This week Barry, Dave, and Tod check out the catalog for the upcoming Prop Store Entertainment Memorabilia Auction. There are a lot of familiar offerings, but also several new things worth taking out a second mortgage for, like C-3PO‘s head, a legendary broken sword, or maybe fishing gear from the worst fishing trip ever. Even if you’re not laying down big money, it’s fun to play. What if … There’s also the usual random topics, including speculation on the Firefly announcement we will be hearing about very soon. And as they continue to acknowledge the 60th anniversary of Star Trek, one host seems to be weakening on his life long The Motion Picture position. Thanks for watching, and listening!

611: Knights, Aliens and Monsters - TV Recap
This week, the Regular Joes talk about three very different TV series. Pluribus is a surprise hit for Apple, though it really shouldn’t be. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan knows how to tell a compelling story. This time he takes the alien body snatcher trope and goes places you would never expect. Just when you thought another trip to Westeros would be more of the same HBO serves up a Knight of Seven Kingdoms. Much more about impalement, then backstabbing, Knight gives us a character piece that does not require a chart or spreadsheet to follow. While the first two shows are unexpected surprises Monarch: Legacy of the Monsters back for a second season on Apple is not. With one episode to date it’s everything we loved … plus Kong. There’s also a round of What’s in the Box and the usual random topics. Thanks for watching and listening!

609: Galileo Restoration with Adam Schneider
This week Brian Mix joins Barry, Dave, and Tod to formally announce the Kickstarter effort to provide a home for the Shuttlecraft Galileo at the Official Star Trek Set Tour in Ticonderoga, New York. The Galileo has endured a long, and often perilous, journey in the decades since The Original Series ended its three year run. There is no one better equipped to tell that story than Adam Schneider, who purchased the largest surviving original Star Trek series prop in 2012 and painstakingly restored it to its former glory. Adam‘s personal fleet of Star Trek production models includes some of the most iconic starships from the series … oh, and he has the Genesis Device. It’s an interview Trek fans won’t want to miss.

608: Super Bowl Winners and Losers
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?

607: TV Guide 2026 Edition
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.

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.

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.

603: Stranger Things and Holiday Gifts
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!

602: Is it a Christmas Movie?
This week Barry Dave and Tod explore the question, what is a Christmas Movie? While all right minded folks agree Die hard is every bit as much a holiday staple as say, It's a Wonderful Life, or Elf, some go to extreme lengths to squeeze any film with a Christmas tree into the mix. Seriously, who lights the fireplace, pours an eggnog and cues up Eyes Wide Shut? The hosts define their personal guidelines, and delve into their favorite “real” Christmas movies, and ultimately, songs. They also work in a round of Whats in the Box, and acknowledge the passing, and legacies, of Gil Girard and Bob Burns. Thanks for listening and Happy holidays!

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.

597: Predatory Behavior
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 measure of significance? Answers to all these questions and more, as the Regular Joe’s take a deep dive into the Predator saga. There’s also the usual Random Topics and, a round of What’s in the Box!

592: Display Space, the Finite Frontier
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 you’re a collector, an accumulator, or a hoarder you have dealt with similar realities. OK, maybe not so much if you’re a hoarder, but that would be a different episode. Anyways, there’s some good advice to be had, or at least a bit of commiseration with kindred souls.

591: What The . . . Flag?
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 drives home how little we understood what is actually happening in James Gunn’s Peacemaker season two. Are they good? Let’s just say these two creators excel at getting new life out of existing properties. There’s also the usual Random Topics and around of What’s in the Box. Thanks for listening!

Months ago, Tod saw, and recommended Companion (2025), the Jack Quaid, Sophie Thatcher dark comedy that Google lists as as a “Horror, Thriller, Science Fiction, Romance.” On Rotten Tomatoes it comes in at 93%. On IMDB. It’s a 6.9. Recently, Dave stumbled upon it and suggested Barry watch as well. To say “opinions vary” on this one is kind of an understatement. Apparently a lot of it comes down to the expectations you go in with … like if you’ve never read the introductory blurb, or seen the trailer, you might be surprised by something other than what the studio intended. Maybe you should also just watch. There’s also the usual round of Random Topics and the debut of a new segment called Back in Time. Thanks for listening!

588: PEACEmaker ON alien EARTH
At first glance, there seem to be no similarities between the sci-fi series, Alien Earth (FX/Hulu), and the second season of Peacemaker (HBO). But both are offshoots of existing franchises, shepherded by creators with unique, and often, visceral styles. To date Noah Hawley‘s Alien Earth has proven anything but predictable, while redefining the nature of “Alien” threats. Who knew a sheep could be that creepy. Over in the DC universe, or in at least two of them, James Gunn is actively disproving the idea that the multiverse concept is played out. As he takes his flawed protagonist even further down by showing him the flipside of his own bad life choices. There’s also a round of What’s in the Box and the usual random topics.

587: SNW . . . WTF?
In its third season Strange New Worlds has gone a long way towards living up to the first word in its title. From its inception, the pre-Kirk (somewhat) Enterprise series promised to avoid the long drawn out arcs that bogged down its predecessor Star Trek: Discovery. No one anticipated the bizarre, random, series of non sequiturs we’ve been served up this season. While there have been some funny bits, and a few noteworthy bits, most of the seven episodes to date have left viewers scratching their heads. This week, Barry, Brian, Dave and Tod break down the season so far and ask, can the series be saved? Opinions vary, mostly About "Four and a Half Vulcans."

There are many who argue that the Alien film series lost its mojo way back on LV-476. The horror / thriller /sci-fi franchise created by Ridley Scott, and given a pulse rifle shot-in-the-arm by James Cameron, seemed like it would never regain its former glory or so we thought until last year’s Alien Romulus made us rethink that equation. Now, Noah Hawley (Legion, Fargo) brings the saga back home. This week, the Regular Joe’s take a first look at Alien Earth, a very different approach to the Alien(s) universe.

In last week’s episode, you heard Barry Dave and Tod‘s sit down with Titus Welliver, this time they update you on the other things they did while at TerrificCon in Connecticut. Out on the final frontier, Brian Mix did double duty hitting Star Trek Las Vegas, before making his way back east to his second home in upstate New York, for Trekonderoga. To be certain Star Wars got equal time, Derryl checked in at the second annual Rebel Scum Con in Dallas Texas. This was after visiting the 10th FarleyCon in East Ridge, Tennessee, which covers all range of pop culture, and not simply, as one might suspect, the work of Chris Farley. There was also the Usual Random topics and a round of What’s in the Box. Thanks for listening!

584: Titus Welliver, Collector / Actor
You may know him as Detective Harry Bosch from Amazon‘s Bosch and Bosch Legacy series, or maybe from Star Trek Voyager, Deadwood, Lost, The Mandalorian, Titans, or any of dozens other roles Titus Welliver has had in TV, Films, Animation, and Audiobooks. This week Barry, Dave and Tod sit down with Titus at Terrificon in Connecticut to talk a little bit about his career as an actor, and a whole lot about his varied, and quite familiar, collecting interests. They cover 1960’s to 1980’s toys, Aurora Models, firearms, and pretty much any thing that else that comes to mind. It’s a great interview with a fascinating guest. Enjoy!
