You wanna hear us talk about some spy shit? Once again, I don’t know why you get your hopes up, the “talk about the first episode of a streaming exclusive” thing has been more of a loose guideline for awhile now.

Programming Note: We’re taking a week off next week. We’ll be back with more chicanery and inanity before you know it.

This isn’t the latest by-product of our meta reality series: Back to Reality. But this is definitely worth talking about.

We’re finally free of the dark cloud that Paramount Plus cast above out podcast…only to jump into a dark and brooding drama from Amazon Prime. Did we make yet another mistake? Only one way to find out!

Paramount+ is dead to us.

If you’re looking for a podcast that stays on topic and talks about the first episode of a Paramount+ exclusive series, you’ve picked the wrong show. We’ll talk about it a bit…and maybe even come up with a dope episode two, but really we’re talking about anything, anywhere that is bringing us enjoyment this week.

Man, paramount+ month is really crapping out on us early. Did we really need to watch a live-action reboot/remake of an animated show that neither of us watched very much in the first place and whose audience is a good 20 years younger than our actual audience? No, but when has that ever stopped us before?

We here at Episode One really have our fingers on the pulse. And we know that what everyone is clamoring for is a review of the first episode of a highly anticipated series about a wildly popular sci-fi shooter franchise that’s been posted on a wildly average streaming service…done by two guys who have no clue what the fuck any of this is about.

Well, the world, here it is.

We’re playing everybody’s favorite game this week: Is It a Good Episode of the Podcast?

Spoiler: It is.

Also, we come up with a legit great idea for a game show so, as always, TM TM TM TM

We’re watching Making Fun this week. But I know what you’re all here for. That’s right…the inaugural episode of Lie & Order: SVTruth! Come check it out!

This is a shorter episode than most but the quantity of goofs remains constant. This leads to the most goof-dense/goof-rich episode of the podcast to date. It’s got laughs, it’s got giggles, it’s got a new, slightly modified call-to-action for our listeners (so make sure you listen to the end).
