With Brian Mix and Derryl DePriest singing back up, the Joe’s cover the greatest hits and the biggest misses from the past year. There are surprises, and some familiar favorites, as they review the movies TV, series, events, acquisitions and happenings that punctuate 2024 as it fades in the rearview mirror. Thanks for listening!

It’s December, so there must be a new Star Wars series on Disney+. Do you like watching children getting in trouble, running, and screaming? How do you feel about pirates? Do you have fond memories of watching The Goonies (1985)? If so, Disney+ has the show for you. Surprisingly, it seems to be the show for others as well, as Skeleton Crew has landed well with critics, Star Wars fans, and yes, all three Regular Joes. There will be SPOILERS, so you should check out the first few eps before listening. If you were wondering where his last week’s show went, Dave catches you up on his most recent trip to the happiest place on earth. There’s a bit of discussion about someone dropping the cost of a high end private jet on a pair of 85-year-old footwear, a round of What’s in the Box, and the usual Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

For the landmark 550th episode the Regular Joe’s are again joined by Irregular Joes Derryl DePriest and Brian Mix. After an extremely far reaching round of Random Topics, the hosts discuss the just released Star Trek short, 765874 Unification, from OTOY studios in collaboration with the Roddenberry Archive. With callbacks to the unaired pilot, the original series, the Next Generation, the Kelvin Universe, Discovery, and Picard, the brief video is deeply routed in the Star Trek universe. For fans who were underwhelmed by Kirk’s death in Star Trek: Generations, or disappointed by the brief reference to Spock’s death off screen in Star Trek Beyond, unification provides some intensely satisfying closure for one of the greatest friendships in sci-fi lore. And, because Brian somehow always knows how to be at the right place at the right time, he shares his experience watching the premiere of the short alongside William Shatner. How’s that for a phaser drop? There’s also around of What’s in the Box. Thanks for listening!
