582: Strange New Episodes

This week, the Regular Joes take a 1st look at 2 episodes from the 3rd season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. While very different in tone the two episodes are both deeply rooted and original series Trek lore. This prompts some next level nerding as the three take a deep dive down the Jeffries tube.

The most recent Heritage Hollywood entertainment auction just wrapped up. Barry and Dave give their thoughts on some of the items they were able to see in person at the recent auction preview. The bottom line is, prices aren’t going down. Particularly if you’re interested in an old sled, someone once threw away, or 60’s era knickknack that doubles as housing for a genie. There’s also the usual rounds of Random Topics and What’s in the Box!

Thanks for listening!

Superman, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s comic book creation, has seen numerous incarnations over the last eight decades. The last son of Krypton has been heard on radio, and seen in animation, serials, films, and several TV series. While each is a product of its time, some are clearly hits while others are misses. At long last James Gunn, best known for Guardians of the Galaxy, has his turn at bat. And, in the view of critics, movie goers, and all three Regular Joes, he has hit it out of the ballpark. The Film both reclaims Superman‘s position as the cornerstone of the DC universe and heralds an exciting new era under Gunn’s stewardship. Note: there will be SPOILERS. So, if you have had any hesitation, just see the movie. There’s also the usual round of Random Topics and yet more What’s in the Box! Thanks for listening!

Few TV series have taken hits as hard as Ironheart on Disney+. Review bombed even before the first episode aired, raged about online by comment bros angered by the notion of (dead) MCU Tony Stark being replaced by a black girl, it hardly stood a chance. The question is, did it deserve one? On the plus side they got it over mercifully quick, six episodes released in just two weeks at least minimized the suffering. The Joes, who have all watched it to some degree give their perspectives on what they’ve done right, and what they’ve done wrong. There’s also the usual Random Topics a rare round of Shirt Up, and the inevitable What’s in The Box. Thanks for listening!
