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!

This week, the full complement of Regular Joes, Barry, Brian, Dave, Derryl, and Tod take a moment to recognize two summer blockbusters that have reached milestone anniversaries. Steven Spielberg‘s Jaws (1975) which is looking pretty good at the half century mark. And Robert Zemeckis’ Back to the Future (1985) the film that earned Marty McFly, Doc Brown and the DeLorean (the cyber truck of its era) permanent positions, in pop culture. What made them stand out back in the day? What about the parade of sequels that followed each of these films? And, what’s more frightening, a twenty-five-foot great white, or parking with your horny 17 year old mom? There’s also the usual topics and Round of What’s in the Box. Thanks for listening!

For some reason, known only to network and streaming service executives, late spring often seems like a wasteland in the TV landscape, leaving even Tod struggling to find something to watch. In this episode the Regular Joe’s catch up on what they’ve been viewing in recent weeks. As we ease into summer there is hope, along with a pair of high stakes superhero films, on the horizon and they run down the high points for the coming weeks. Also, with Barry finally caught up, they close the door on The controversial second season of The Last of Us. And, in case you were wondering, what was on their respective minds this past Monday there’s the usual Random Topics. Thanks for listening!
