Episodes
471: Random Roulette
March 24, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 24.9 MBThis week’s show is that semi-regular/randomly occurring, episode with no particular theme or plan. Think of it as a bonus length installment of Random Topics, with a check in on The Mandalorian (ok, that was … odd) and Star Trek: Picard (are we tired of saying, better than ever?) They also devote slightly more attention to Shazam Fury of the Gods than actual audiences did. And, in other news, Tod finally gets “roped in” to bingeing a Apple + series he was avoiding simply because everyone tol...
470: The Last of the Last
March 17, 2023 04:00 - 1 hour - 22 MBA weary and jaded loaner is given the task of delivering an orphan to an uncertain fate. Through various trials and ordeals he becomes both a father figure and protector putting the welfare of the child above all else. Yeah … Pedro Pascal is going to have to try harder not to get typecast. This week the Regular Joes take a last look at the last episode of The Last of Us, a show that, despite a decade of human biological apocalypse scenario content, proves it’s still possible to tell a compell...
469: The Stars are Aligned
March 10, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 25.5 MBWe have arrived. The nexus is upon us! We have achieved nerd nirvana! We are at the singular moment in time when we can expect weekly streaming doses of good (no, not yet great) Star Trek and Star Wars episodes. As, for the next several weeks, both Star Trek: Picard, and Star Wars: the Mandalorian will work their way through their respective third seasons. Some people are Star Trek fans, others are Star Wars fans, but the Regular Joe’s happen to be fans of both. So for the next few months any...
468: You Changed Your Hair!
March 03, 2023 14:23 - 1 hour - 33 MBAfter calling out sick last week the Regular Joes are back. In reality they were just giving you lead time to watch Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and the first two episodes of season 3 of Star Trek Picard for which there will be SPOILERS. Depending on your perspective, the third, and reportedly final season of Picard, could either be the third strike for this coda to the much revered Star Trek: The Next Generation, or the perfect example of “third time’s the charm.” As you likely know b...
467: You Kill Me, Gordon
February 17, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 26.6 MBIt’s the Regular Joe’s annual Super Bowl post game show where the hosts run down all the best moments from the commercials vying to come out on top in this highly anticipated annual advertising competition. In between these ads, two groups of grown men also spent hours fighting over a ball. Not sure why. Also this week three, recovering former Walking Dead fans give the Last of Us a Try. From the previews the new series, based on the hugely popular video game, definitely seems to trod on fami...
466: 3 Hot Dog Shaped Thumbs Down
February 10, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 23.8 MBThis week the Regular Joes take a look at Everything and Everywhere All at Once (2022) the heavily Oscar nominated film staring Captain Georgiou from ST: Discovery, Short Round from Temple of Doom, and Jamie Lee Curtis from, well … Jamie Lee Curtis. Opinions vary, but clearly If you are not at all into Marvel or the superhero genre this might be the best multiverse hopping film you saw last year … and coincidentally, the only one. Next up the Joes take a first look a The Recruit a new Netflix...
465: Make it So … or at Least better?
February 03, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 24.1 MBIt’s all Joes on deck as the regular hosts welcome Irregular Joes Derryl DePriest and Brian Mix. As they tend to do when everyone jumps in it’s kind of a free for all with no set topic. Not that that matters, as these guys have no problem filling an hour or so. Hopes are universally high for the final season of Picard. But hopes have been high before. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me three times … ? Fortunately we won’t have to wait long to find out. This week’s round of What’s in the Box f...
464: Bizarro World?
January 27, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 22.6 MBThis week’s episode was recorded in an alternate reality where Tod doesn’t watch the entire season of a TV show before Barry and Dave get through the pilot episode. First up is Paper Girls from Amazon Prime, which is based on a comic by Brian K. Vaughan, that (again alternate reality) Tod has never read. Next is Kaleidoscope, from Netflix, the Giancarlo Esposito led ensemble heist drama that breaks conventions as well as vaults. More of a heads up than spoiler, you want to watch the “White” e...
463: Barry and Dave’s Excellent Adventure
January 20, 2023 05:00 - 1 hour - 28.5 MBThis week, Barry and Dave return from vacation and catch Tod up on everything he missed. Which, based on the rundown of the itinerary from their week in Orlando, was a lot. We all know Dave hits the parks with a plan that makes the D-Day invasion look like an afterthought, and this outing was true to form. Find out what they saw, and, more importantly, bought at Disney, Universal and elsewhere. As well as details of Barry’s long delayed Rise of the Resistance experience(s). Yes, there is fina...
462 - 2022 in Review
January 06, 2023 05:00 - 2 hours - 42.6 MBAs we leave 2022 behind the Regular Joes, along with Irregular Joes Derryl DePriest and Brian Mix, take one last look in the rear view mirror. What TV shows and Films, from a surprisingly full year, did they like best? What were their biggest disappointments? A few of the answers will likely surprise you, like Brian’s woefully misguided dislike for one show . . . just for an example. As listeners know, the Joes are all collectors, and they also cover the things they were most excited about fr...
461: What’s in the Boxes?
December 31, 2022 15:17 - 31 minutes - 12.1 MBAs 2022 came to a close, the Regular Joes convened at a not so secret location (Dave’s House) to break bread and to prove once again that with a little thought you can actually buy gifts for people who literally have everything, it’s the annual Regular Joe’s gift exchange where you listen in as we open presents! We will be back next week with the full crew for our 2022 year in review show. We sincerely thank you all for listening and hope you all have a very safe and happy New Year.
460: Brought to You By the Letter W
December 23, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 24.7 MBThis WEEK WE WATCHED WILLOW and WEDNESDAY. The two shows, released respectively by Disney+ and Netflix couldn’t be more different. Willow is a follow up to the 1988 film of the same name. Wednesday is the most recent offshoot of the Addams Family franchise whose lineage goes back to Charles Addam’s cartoons dating from the late 1930s. While both are legacy properties, one seems to have a bit more life in it than the other. Without getting too deep into spoiler territory, let’s just say the od...
459: It’s Not the Years, It’s the Sequels
December 16, 2022 05:00 - 57 minutes - 21.6 MBAfter a brief hiatus, the Regular Joe’s are back. This week they dig into new trailers for two of the most eagerly awaited films due in spring of 2023. First up is Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. It’s been a long time coming, but in June we will see the final chapter in the Indiana Jones saga. Clearly there’s lots of action, Indy style adventure, and even Nazis to punch. Could this be the “do over” we’ve been waiting for since 2008? Next up it’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is...
458: Bacon Wrapped
December 02, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 26.8 MBIn what is clearly the most eagerly anticipated Holiday Special since 1978, Disney + / Marvel has just dropped The Guardians of The Galaxy Holiday Special. And it’s everything you, or at least the Regular Joes, could have imagined. In addition to doing something no MCU property has ever attempted before, the special proves that time honored rule that, the one thing that makes everything better is, yes, Bacon. While we are on the topic Disney+ Andor, the twelve episode prequel to Rogue One, ju...
457: The Peripheral
November 25, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 28.4 MBThis week, the Regular Joes start off with a tribute to Jason David Frank, best known for portraying the Green Power Ranger. Jason was a staple at conventions all around the world and his loss has been felt across the pop culture community. Next the Joes talk about the premiere episode of the Amazon Prime original series “The Peripheral” and let you know if they think it’s worth a try. There’s also the usual Random Topics and a round of What’s in the Box. Listen all the way to the end for...
456: Black Panther - Runtime Forever
November 18, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 25.5 MBJust when you thought it was safe to go back to the Multiplex there’s yet another superhero film. This week it’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which not only crushed DC’s recent offering Black Adam at the box office but runs more than 35 minutes longer. Because that’s better, right? This week the Regular Joes break down Wakanda Forever (Note: There will be SPOILERS) which seems tasked with giving both closure and, ever so slowly, moving the MCU forward into Phase 5. Is this the film you’ve ...
455: Isn’t that Gigi Edgley?
November 11, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 31.7 MBEach year the Regular Joes record their annual RI Comic-Con podcast episode from a particular Sofa in the lobby of the Omni Providence Hotel. This year the Joes called in a Power Ranger for assistance as Rocky the Red Ranger Steve Cardenas both cleared the sofa and sat down for an interview. Some years the lobby is a gold mine for interviews, other years not so much, but it’s always a good time for the Joe’s to catch up in person and talk about the show. While every RJ episode is recorded liv...
454: Props to Lower Decks
November 04, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 27.2 MBWith a week before the Annual (no one counts 2020 anymore) RI Comic Con/Regular Joes Meet Up the Regular hosts are Joined by Irregular Joe Brian Mix to talk about the the upcoming (happening right now actually) Prop Store Movie Memorabilia Auction. There are some truly amazing offerings, including Roy Batty’s Blade Runner trench coat and the freakin huge “miniature” model drop ship from Aliens, as well as a few obscure things from films only Barry is young enough to fondly recall. Once the co...
453: Autograph, Smell or Pass
October 28, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 32.2 MBThis week the Regular Joes take a deep dive in to Random Topics, covering Star Wars, The Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the soon to be under new Management DCU. Which basically means, there’s plenty of Marvel trailer talk, the inevitable rehashing of how recent Star Wars films may, or may not, have gone wrong, and a degree of cautious optimism for where DC goes from here. Next up it’s a run down of guests for the upcoming Rhode Island Comic Con from the somewhat unique Regular Joes perspectiv...
452: She-Hulk … by Night?
October 21, 2022 04:00 - 55 minutes - 26.5 MBWith dozens of films, and now several streaming series, the Marvel Cinematic Universe always runs the risk of becoming predictable. Yeah, not so much. This week the Regular Joes take a look at Disney+/Marvel’s most recent offerings, She Hulk Attorney at Law, a limited run series, and Werewolf by Night, the first MCU standalone “Special Presentation.” If it were a comic Werewolf by Night would be called a One-Shot. The self contained story, with roots in Marvel’s 1970’s flirtation with the mac...
451: Quantum Leap 2022. Oh Boy!
October 07, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 31.9 MBA while back The Regular Joe’s sifted through this season’s network TV offerings and settled on just a single show to try. This year the network folks tasked with endlessly revisiting decades old air schedules in hopes of breathing new life into an old show or premise have finally gotten around to Quantum Leap. While the original series (1983-1989) was not exactly high art, it did have a unique premise. Which this successor can’t claim. Does it live up to the original? Can it stand on its own...
450: And . . . Or ?
September 30, 2022 14:36 - 1 hour - 30.7 MBThe Regular Joes have been eagerly awaiting the start of the Disney+ Star Wars series Andor. Ok, to be more accurate, Barry has been eagerly awaiting the series, but all three of them did watch the three initial episodes that dropped on day one, and the first weekly update that followed. As regular listeners can probably anticipate, their views vary widely. There will be SPOILERS . . . sort of. Let’s just say that’s less an issue than in previous offerings. The series, from Rogue One: A Star ...
449: All this, and Willow Too!
September 23, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 38.6 MBThis week the Regular Joes catch up on news from the recent Disney D23 Expo. There were numerous updates from the Star Wars and Marvel Cinematic Universes, allaying any fears thar the House of Mouse might be be running out of content anytime soon. While many exciting things loom on the horizon, this year was as much as what they weren’t talking about, Rogue Squadron, X-Men etc, proving even the big D is capable of getting over their skis. There’s also a peek at the Joes current projects with ...
448: Blonder Woman
September 18, 2022 03:46 - 1 hour - 38.7 MBThere have been several attempts to bring Wonder Woman to the screen. And while some were successful, The New Original Wonder Woman series 1975-1979 and the 2017 Wonder Woman film, others have missed the mark like a poorly thrown javelin. This week the Regular Joes, joined by noted bad film aficionado Jim Bush, provide a live commentary analysis of the rarely seen 1974 series pilot which was released as TV movie. Which was, perhaps until this episode, actually much better in Tod’s head. If yo...
447: Randomly Random Randomness
September 09, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 30.5 MBThis week, the Regular Joes are joined by regular guest host Brian Mix for a very random show filled with random topics and random conversations about very random geeky stuff. It’s a no homework required show for everyone, so sit back, relax and randomly enjoy the show! Oh yeah, and theres What’s in the Box too. As always, thanks for listening!
446: Game of Thrones . . . Lite
September 02, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 35.9 MBRemember back in the day, when the arrival of that extra thick TV Guide Fall Preview Edition offered up all sorts of promise for the coming network TV season? Yes, that’s as much a thing of the past as filling your tank for less than a $50 bill. This week the Regular Joe’s give slightly more time than is due to the scant offerings served up for the fall season. Unless of course you’re big into Reality TV, or endless spinoffs of police procedural‘s. There is one new show that all three hosts p...
445: Mission Improbable
August 26, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 32.9 MBThis week the Regular Joes take a look at two very different streaming series. One wrapping up its third season and the other just out of the chute. The Joes have been on board Apple TV+’s alternate history space race drama For All Mankind since launch. As they dig in to the most recent Mars mission focused season it quickly becomes clear that the sci fi aspects of the show aren’t the parts that are the most improbable. We’re not saying you couldn’t strap a pregnant lady to the exterior of a ...
444: Hopelessly Devoted to You
August 12, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 29.1 MBThe passing of our childhood heroes is hard, more so the crushes of our youth. This week the Regular Joes bid farewell to Olivia Newton-John, who may not have been Dave’s first crush, but certainly had a significant impact on his teen years. As well as inspiring an elaborate, and ultimately successful, effort to crash her 1982 Saturday Night Live appearance. Note: at various points people are encouraged to watch the 1980 film, Xanadu. Listeners are encouraged to dismiss these suggestions as, ...
Episode 443: Hailing Frequencies Open
August 05, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 32.9 MBIn 1965 an actress, dancer and singer accepted a small role in a new science fiction TV drama. Her expectations for the show were understandably low. But Lt. Uhura became the defining role her long career. The Regular Joes pay tribute to the life and legacy of Nichelle Nichols who broke barriers, changed minds, inspired countless people, and looked damned fine in a mini skirt. Having given most everyone else time to catch up, the Joes also review two recent teen centric dramas. First up Ms. M...
Episode 442: Con News and MCU’s
July 29, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 36.3 MBThe San Diego Comic Con (SDCC), while no longer the largest comic con, remains the harbinger of all things nerdy. This year announcements were split between long awaited projects such as, The Sandman and the Game of Thrones prequel House of Dragons, and many others we will likewise be waiting a long time to see. The Regular Joes dive into the litany of announcements, teasers and trailers. Most notably from MARVEL, which unveiled a dizzying (if incomplete) plan for the next few years, or Phase...
Episode 441: Regular Joes Unplugged
July 22, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 34.3 MBIt’s been a while since we have had the whole crew together, and now that Brian has made his way to the east coast it’s time to catch up with him and Derryl. The far reaching swath of this week’s topics incudes, but is not limited to: the sudden, seeming collapse of Eaglemoss / Hero Collector, the unlikely circumstance of Dave being further into Ms Marvel than anyone else, one of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull’s writers tries to claim it wasn’t his fault, Brian beams down to an old school Star ...
Episode 440: Boldly Going!
July 15, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 40.8 MBThor Love and Thunder marks the first time a MCU hero has gotten four stand alone films. So, that’s something anyway. We knew Thor Ragnarok 2017 was going to be hard to top, and, SPOILER this film does not. There is Thor, two of them actually, Valkyrie, Korg, and a handful of other familiar faces but somehow Taika Waititi’s second outing as director seems less than the sum of its parts. The Regular Joes break it down for you like a shattered Norse hammer. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has wra...
Episode 439: Hello There!
July 08, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 39 MBSince Disney took over the helm of the Star Wars Galaxy fan response has been, well … mixed. And while you can’t please everyone, Obi-Wan Kenobi’s six episode run proved the House of Mouse can do right by a legacy character. While not a perfect series, Obi-Wan aptly demonstrated that even a story you think you know can be improved in the telling. Note: there will be SPOILERS, but since you probably saw a film called Star Wars at some point you likely knew where things were going. This past we...
Episode 438: Holy Grails!
June 24, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 33.5 MBBy the time you listen to this episode the dust will have settled on the Prop Store's Entertainment Memorabilia Auction. If you are now the proud owner of a screen used Star Wars X-Wing model congratulations! In their traditional pre-auction show the Regular Joes review their personal wish lists and cinematic holy grails, including a Holy Grail, from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, along with a Grail diary, the Grail knight’s sword and items from most any Sci Fi / fantasy film or franchis...
Episode 437: Space Race
June 17, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 33.4 MBThe firehose of streaming series content continues as the Regular Joes breakdown, digest and process what they have seen so far. Star Trek Strange New Worlds continues to be everything it promised to be. Likewise Kenobi moves towards its rapidly approaching conclusion proving there are still stories to tell In that curiously small universe. Lastly For All Mankind is back on AppleTV+ with another decade jump moving the awesome NASA alternate history drama into the realm of science-fiction. So ...
Episode 436: Maverick is His Name
June 10, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 36.2 MBTop Gun Maverick Is the sequel everyone has been waiting 35 years for. Ok, so maybe more accurately it is the sequel Dave has been waiting 35 years for. Tom Cruse”s long delayed fighter pilot action flick is finally in theaters and it is breaking box office records. Was it worth the wait? There will be SPOILERS. They knew this month was coming, but you can never really be prepared for the stream-apalooza. When every major content provider piles on, dropping crazy amounts of long awaited serie...
Episode 435: Obi-Wan Celebration
June 03, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 39.2 MBThe wait for Obi-Wan Kenobi, the six episode Disney+ series has seemed interminably long. It has been five years since it was first announced as a prequel-sequel film, and 17 years since Ewan McGregor last donned the hooded robe - which for some reason everyone in the galaxy seems to forgotten was a Jedi trademark. This week the Regular Joe’s are joined by Droid expert Brian Mix as they break down the first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi like a giant animal carcass in the desert. Note: There ...
Episode 434: Back on the Lunch Box
May 20, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 36.1 MBOk, so they gave you a week to catch up, now it’s time to talk Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness. For the second time in six months Stephen Strange aka Doctor Strange aka the wizard formerly known as the Sorcerer Supreme follows a teenager down a path that warps, folds and spindles reality. Expectations were high for this film, which has been doing great at the box office. But even more, many people were expecting the story to go a very different way. Really trying not to SPOIL thin...
Episode 433 Too Much and Not Enough
May 13, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 32.9 MBThis week, while the Joes are not talking about Doctor Strange in The Multiverse of Madness, they review the just wrapped seasons of Picard and Moon Knight. In its sophomore season on Paramount+, Star Trek Picard, the only Trek series headlined by a nonagenarian protagonist, slowly goes where any number of shows have gone before. There are some good moments, which the Joe’s point out, but as the show closes out year two of its three season run, we are again left wondering, is nostalgia really...
Episode 432: May the Federation Be With You
May 06, 2022 20:27 - 1 hour - 45.5 MBThis week the Regular Joes find the stars in perfect alignment as the newest offerings from both the Star Wars and Star Trek universes seem poised to deliver on all the potential they can muster. First up is a trailer for the impending Obi-Wan series from Disney plus. This first peek pulls back the curtain on Obi-Wan Kenobi’s undocumented middle years, between Jedi Knight and eccentric hermit. And damn, there is a lot to pull apart. Next we have our first slice of Star Trek: Strange New World...
Episode 431: Streamapalooza 2022
April 29, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 31.2 MBIf you had previously given any thought to getting off your sofa at any point in the next two months this week’s episode may convince you otherwise. The powers that be at Amazon Prime, AppleTV+, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, and Paramount+ have decided to convince you that May and June is clearly not the time to prune any of the the streaming services you have considered dropping. We will be going to Mars with the NASA that never was, traveling to Strange New Worlds with the crew of the En...
Episode 430: Strange Love
April 21, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 33.9 MBThe Marvel movie machine is back in full on production mode and this week they served up two new trailers, one for Thor: Love and Thunder and another for Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness, respectively. After whatever the Eternals was or was not, and Spider-Man: No Way Home (which is in, but not totally of the MCU) these two films carry much of the burden of getting the Marvel Cinematic Universe back on track. And not surprisingly, there’s a lot to unpack. Because this week is the now mon...

Episode 429: Star Trek: The Emotion Picture
April 15, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 33.2 MBLast Week Paramount debuted its third release of 1979 film Star Trek: the Motion Picture. Does this remastered version of the earlier director’s cut solve all of the issues with the original film? Not quite. Overall opinions vary on the sum total of the endeavor. On one end of the spectrum it can be seen as a sweeping visual spectacle that heralds the original Enterprise crew’s transition to the big screen. On the other it remains a monochromatic, epically slow, big budget remake of the seaso...
Episode 428: Strange New Optimism
April 08, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 34.8 MBOne month out from the debut of their newest Star Trek series Paramount+ has rolled out several bits of promotional video, which give every indication that someone at the company may actually understand what makes Star Trek, Star Trek. Lots of space ships, aliens, phasers and yes, Strange New Worlds to explore. Can this level of expectation be met? Hit it! Inevitably, the Joes talk about the inaugural Episode of Disney + Marvel series Moon Knight. Warning, there will be SPOILERS as early sign...
Episode 427: Halo Effect
April 01, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 34.7 MBJust when you thought Disney had cornered the market on flawed dudes in armor Paramount + serves up Halo, the first live action adaptation of the long running video game franchise. There’s action, there’s aliens, there’s serious body count, but is there enough here to build an audience beyond the gamer purists, many of whom are already finding reasons to not like it? As Dave has recently rejoined the commuter crowd he finally got around to reading Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary. The hosts give...
Episode 426: USS Self Discovery
March 25, 2022 04:00 - 1 hour - 38.8 MBYou know that show, the one where people talk endlessly about their lives, relationships, childhood traumas, work stresses, and pretty much everything else? In the recent past you would assume we were discussing This is Us or something like that. Sadly, we are talking about season four of Star Trek: Discovery. Where everyone, including the ship’s AI, either needs therapy, or get it whether they want it or not. This week the Regular Joes tell you how they really feel about it. In contrast Star...
Episode 425: THE Batman
March 11, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 31.3 MBThe Batman is in theaters, which, if you are keeping score is the Gotham Knight’s fifth big screen appearance, in three incarnations, in the span of ten years. Damn, they don’t give this guy a rest. Anyway, before you really has a chance to miss him Batman is back. This time he’s broody, moody, and . . . to use an already over-used adjective, DARK. Honestly, he kind of needs to be. This version of Gotham is a scary place with some seriously scary people. Perhaps because of this the film dives...
Episode 424: Disco Fever Lunchbox
March 04, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 33.3 MBThis week the other Regular Joes put their faith in Tod (always a questionable proposition) who promised to come up with a theme and tell them as they record. To make things more interesting he called up the full bench, Barry, Dave, Derryl and Brian. This week the theme is “Themes.” how do movie and television songs and scores factor into our attachment to them? Can you have a great film without great music? Conversely, can a mediocre film be more memorable simply for having great tunes? Whic...
Episode 423: Free Range Hosts
February 25, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 31.6 MBSpared the burden of planning, theme, or actual forethought, the Regular Joes catch up on a number of things they weren’t covering while talking about a certain Disney + series that, somewhat miraculously, is never even mentioned this time around. They catch up on various other things they have been watching, or in the case of Peacemaker, rapidly binging. They also dive into the currently wrapping Heritage Auction of Star Trek props and uniforms they probably can’t afford. There’s Random Topi...
