Join us as we boldy go where no Average Joe has gone before. After last week's twist ending, the guys dive into one of the irregular topics which was placed in the Bat-Jar by Dr. What and Asian Jon, specifically the "flame war" between James T. Kirk and Jean-Luc Picard.

Jeff Goldblum is returning to the Jurrasic World franchise for the next installment, but how much screentime? Is he lying to cover his tracks? The guys weigh in on their thoughts!

Then, we hop aboard the Starship Enterprise for a look into the world of Star Trek. By the definition of Starfleet, who is a better captain? Who is more entertaining? Which captain would each of these podcasters serve under?

Come along for some microscopic analysis and some bad impressions.

Help us celebrate our podcast's one year anniversary with returning special guests TC Laff and Doctor What for an episode full of friendship, laughter, and some colourful horses.

"My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" has sparked this phenomenon of the "Brony" sub-culture. Where did this come from? Who is involved? What is Average Joe's history with this series?

Then the team travel to the land of Equestria itself to discuss the new film based on the franchise. Can audiences with no history with the animated series enjoy this film? Do we need celebrities attached to these projects in order for them to succeed? Does the music hold up? Which of the main characters best personifies TC Laff's personality?

Polish up on your manners as this week we discuss classy British things, like the Kingsman franchise!

There is a family feud between Marvel, Disney, and ABC over "Inhumans" and "Agents of SHIELD". What is at the root of this conflict and who will come out victorious in the end?

Then we cross the pond to England to discuss "Kingsman: The Secret Service". What do the guys think of the plot, setting, and characters? Does the ending of the first movie set up the sequel which recently came out?

What does Average Joe think of the direction they took in "Kingsman: The Golden Circle"? Does Asian Jon agree? Grab a cup of tea and join the fun.
