There are many who argue that the Alien film series lost its mojo way back on LV-476.

The horror / thriller /sci-fi franchise created by Ridley Scott, and given a pulse rifle shot-in-the-arm by James Cameron, seemed like it would never regain its former glory or so we thought until last year’s Alien Romulus made us rethink that equation. Now, Noah Hawley (Legion, Fargo) brings the saga back home.

This week, the Regular Joe’s take a first look at Alien Earth, a very different approach to the Alien(s) universe.

Before that, Dave and Barry get the VIP treatment at another auction preview featuring iconic props from some of our favorite franchises.

There’s also a round of What’s in the Box and the usual random topics. Thanks for listening!

As we hit the hottest stretch of the summer, the full slate of Joes have skipped the beach and instead migrated to cavernous, over air-conditioned, convention halls all across the country.

In last week’s episode, you heard Barry Dave and Tod‘s sit down with Titus Welliver, this time they update you on the other things they did while at TerrificCon in Connecticut.

Out on the final frontier, Brian Mix did double duty hitting Star Trek Las Vegas, before making his way back east to his second home in upstate New York, for Trekonderoga.

To be certain Star Wars got equal time, Derryl checked in at the second annual Rebel Scum Con in Dallas Texas. This was after visiting the 10th FarleyCon in East Ridge, Tennessee, which covers all range of pop culture, and not simply, as one might suspect, the work of Chris Farley.

There was also the Usual Random topics and a round of What’s in the Box.

You may know him as Detective Harry Bosch from Amazon‘s Bosch and Bosch Legacy series, or maybe from Star Trek Voyager, Deadwood, Lost, The Mandalorian, Titans, or any of dozens other roles Titus Welliver has had in TV, Films, Animation, and Audiobooks. This week Barry, Dave and Tod sit down with Titus at Terrificon in Connecticut to talk a little bit about his career as an actor, and a whole lot about his varied, and quite familiar, collecting interests. They cover 1960’s to 1980’s toys, Aurora Models, firearms, and pretty much any thing that else that comes to mind. It’s a great interview with a fascinating guest. Enjoy!
