This week, the Regular Joe’s take on Marvel’s Thunderbolts* or is it the New Avengers? The film which proves 36 installments into a franchise you can still come up with something new and different to do with an odd collective of 2nd tier characters.
As Brian Mix is on board, they give him a brief opportunity to express his dissenting opinion about the Last of Us, before the others explain why he is totally wrong. Somewhat inevitably, some discussion of Andor creeps in as well. There’s also the usual Random Topics. Thanks for listening!

This week, the Regular Joe’s tackle the first trio of episodes from two shows returning for long awaited sophomore seasons. The Last of Us was the surprise hit of 2023. It is the rare video game property that found a life of its own, and proved that zombies weren’t actually done to death. The show returns with a gut punch of a second episode, delivering tandem assaults viewers are unlikely to forget. Meanwhile, in a galaxy, not all that far away, Andor, the 2022 prequel to Star Wars prequel Rogue One, is back, depicting the title character’s evolution from, dude out for himself, to rebel hero. While not everyone agrees on how Tony Gilroy chose to use screen time, the first of four three episode arcs reminds us how good Star Wars really can be. There’s also a round of What’s in the Box and the usual Random Topics.
