This week, the Regular Joes pay tribute to the late great Roger Corman (1926-2024) very likely the most prolific B movie Producer/Director ever. Whether you saw a bootleg copy of the never released first Fantastic Four (1994) film, rocked out with the Ramones and Riff Randall in Rock ‘n’ Roll High School (1979) or savored the 1960’s Vincent Price Edgar Allan Poe adaptations that made the afternoon movie circuit in the 70s. It’s almost impossible to have not been exposed to his work. Few creators have left such a large footprint … just as few creators have made as many films about gigantic human beings trampling things. The Joe’s also take a look at the first episode of Dark Matter on Apple plus. Which is based on a book by Blake Crouch that Tod really likes. Even if you are thinking you are over the idea of a multiverse you should give this one a try. Wait … was that a SPOILER? There also What’s in the Box and the usual Random Topics. Thanks for Listening!

This week the Joes address the side effects of a lifetime of collecting. At some point you need to go through the accumulated detritus to find that overlooked box containing the Ark of the Covenant, and decide whether or not to keep that old sled marked “Rosebud.” In May the Fourth news, there also another Trailer for the Star Wars: The Acolyte, which may represent a bold new direction for the Star Wars franchise … or possibly not. Barry and Tod address the series ending of clone era saga, The Bad Batch, which leaves a big animated hole in the Star Wars universe. And, in passing, they talk about this week’s Discovery Episode (SPOILER: Burnham takes yet another bonding field trip) which might otherwise have been completely forgotten by now. And of course, there’s also the usual Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

Zack Snyder, the guy who gave us Rebel Moon Part 1: A Child of Fire late last year is back with the second installment in his would be original franchise. Normally we would write something here intended to make you curious as to what the Regular Joes thought of this film. SPOILER, they did not like Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver any more than anyone else. But you still get to hear why.
They also take a look at Fallout, Amazon’s most recent video game inspired offering. Between Resident Evil, The Witcher (sort of), Halo, The Last of Us etc. the idea of adapting a video game universe for TV is not new. Some just work better than others. See what the non-gamer dude Regular Joes think about this retro, futuristic, post apocalyptic, action/comedy series. The slow march to the end of Star Trek: Discovery continues with an episode that at least uses sets from the show they would rather be watching. There’s also the usual Random Topics and around of What’s in the Box. Thanks for listening!
