The Episode One Podcast

I want to live like normal people, I want to sleep with normal people, normal people like you.

No wait that was common people.

This week Steve and Chris watch a new Hulu show (airing on BBC 1 overseas) Based off a book it's another look at young love, teenagers in high school. This time in Ireland.

It's a fascinating exercise to see the tropes we're so used to in America be placed in a different culture.

Come join us for the ride, and learn about Gaelic Football!

The podcast returns to a happier time, a gentler time, a time with less stress and worry, when the economy was in shambles and America was engulfed in a never ending war. 

Oh the 70's, what we wouldn't give to experience a different oil shock. But all that said, Mrs. America is pretty cool. Taking a look at a side of the 70's we don't get to see much, the beginnings of the modern gender equity movement. A deeper dive into the Equal Rights amendment, something you only got a paragraph about in your history book (if that!).

Plus some non pandemic 30 second pitches and crossovers!

This week a subject Steve knows pretty well, Carole Baskin! Yes Steve has been a visitor to the Big Cat Rescue. Since we're all in quarantine, the episode one podcast had to jump on the bandwagon and talk about what everyone else is. Tiger King!

After about 35 minutes of Covid-19 and Tiger King talk we dig into our back catalog and discuss how some shows we've done in the past would treat their quarantine episode. Inspired by, and referencing the great vulture article: https://www.vulture.com/2020/04/if-i-wrote-a-coronavirus-episode.html

We're back in the Freeform extended cinematic universe. This time with witches.. and alternate history... and wait how do the Fosters and Grownish fit in?

Regardless, despite there being a pandemic going on, new shows are being released, and Steve and Chris are here to talk about them... just socially distanced of course.

Enjoy, let us know what you think and how you're doing through all this. [email protected]

The episode one podcast was lucky enough to get a screener for this new show, but had to hold it for release.

Now the show is out, enjoy our take!

Also Chris still can't stop calling it "Tiny Little Fires"

4 comedies to hopefully calm your nerves in these trying times. Over the last month Steve and Chris have been catching up on new comedies.

High Fidelity: Hulu The latest in Movies becoming TV Shows. Steve's seen the original, Chris hasn't.

Nora from Queens: Comedy Central One of the most divisive shows in our podcast's history, the show just rubs Chris the wrong way

Dave: FX, FX on Hulu A show that surprised us both, we both came in with negative preconceptions, but wound up liking it!

Breeders: FX, FX on Hulu Martin Freeman! Chris can relate to this show, while Steve can appreciate it.

Also we cross these shows over, and do some 30 second pitches!

Welcome back to the #1 Lucy Hale fan podcast (well Lucy Hale Television Pilots at least)

This week in Lucy Hale we talk about Katy Keene. Based off a comic book and spun off of Riverdale (our 3rd episode!!) How does this show hold up to the rest of the Hale-Verse?

Also What Lucy Hale Crossovers and Lucy Hale pitches will entice Lucy Hale to join the cast of Punch Something?

Welcome back Megan Rose Fox from our She-Ra episode. Tonight we learn that Megan is a Locke and Key superfan!

Join us as we talk Locke and Key History, the aborted first attempt at a pilot from 2011 (If you can help us track down a copy let us know!).

Then we dive into Netflix's version, discuss some carlton Cuse, talk about dodge/Echo, and what Locke and Key has in common with the Chronicles of Narnia

All this plus Crossovers and 30 second pitches!

Starting with a 20 minute breakdown of the current world of streaming. Including speculation on how we'll cover HBO Max, Peacock, and whether we'll ever cover Apple +. Chris and Steve dig into Star Trek Picard.

Chris is an avid Star Trek Fan who grew up with Next Generation and has watched most of it. Steve has seen one Star Trek movie.

We dive into what is a pretty fun and engaging show, and discuss how most star trek shows served as procedurals and this may be the first with an ongoing storyline.

All this, plus crossovers and 30 second pitches!

This week we've got two pretty exciting shows. Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist (9:00) did a preview the first week of the year and we had to watch. Does it live up to the hype of other cool musical based shows? (Eli Stone and Crazy Ex- Girlfriend)

Then a new entry to the Freeform Cinematic Universe: Everything's gonna be OK (35:20) . From an Australian comedian, A really unique show, that has an amazing cast of mostly unknowns, and just crushes. We're jealous Josh Thomas!

All this plus cross overs and 30 second pitches!
