  • 65. Light As a Feather : Episode One (Hulu)

    Welcome, to the two old men watching shows about teenage girls podcast.... Well that's what my wife calls it sometimes. 

    But hey! how could we resist doing Hulu's pre-answer to Sabrina the Teenage Witch (dark edition) And what better way to kick off the halloween series than a 24 minute take on Pretty Little Liars territory.

    We've got some great crossovers and 30 second picthes this weeek, and also. We Love You.

  • 64. Maniac : Episode One (Netflix)

    She's a maniac maniac on this show.... Yes we got that joke out of the way early.

    Another limited series, this time they swear it will stay as one, Netflix brings us a taste of Cassette futurism! For the authentic experience export this mp3 to a cassette, put it into a walkman and enjoy!

    This was a fascinating show and we had a ball discussing it, and spoilers, can't wait to watch more!!

  • 63. Murphy Brown : Episode One (CBS)

    Another reboot? Hey, without reboots we'd just end up reviewing new shows, and who wants that?

    This time it's a show Chris loved as a kid and Steve was only tangentially aware of, so how does season 11 turn out?

    Also do we dare introduce a new Cinematic universe to go with freeform and Disney's?

  • 62. The Purge : Episode One (USA)

    Another movie that became a TV Show. This time the horror series from Blumhouse has become a TV Limited event series (that will probably get 406 seasons). How do our opinions compare when Chris has never seen the movies and Steve has only seen the first.

    How much "Horror" can you do on basic cable, is there enough to draw us in to watch more?

    Also how would the Purge episode of The Office work out? Find out in Crossovers, this week on the Episode One Podcast

  • 61. The First : Episode One (Hulu)

    This week Steve and Chris take a special look at The First. a new show from Hulu that we got to see early! Posting the same day as the show's release we dive into everything including the big spoiler.

  • Special 1. Castle Rock : Season One (Hulu)

    This week the episode one podcast has something special. shout out to Hulu for sending us screeners for the entire season of Castle Rock. We bring you a quick recap of the entire season one of Castle Rock, a few days before the Season finale ends.

    We avoid Spoilers for episode 10, but pretty much spoil everything else that's aired.

    Did the show live up to our unfair judging from just the first episode? Will we do Castle Rock Season 2 Episode 1? Does this new format work?

    Join us on this adventure and find out!

  • 60. Kidding : Episode One (Showtime)

  • 59. Jack Ryan : Episode One (Amazon Prime)

    Fresh off their annual Fantasy Football draft, Chris and Steve take a look at the highly anticipated Amazon Prime Original Series: Jack Ryan

    We talk a bit about the history of the character, the history of Tom Clancy in the Media, but we spend most of the episode discussing of how Jack Ryan fits into the canon of The Office (Believe us, it works)

    And crossovers (besides the office) and 30 second pitches!

    55 min
  • 58. Disenchantment : Episode One

    Matt Groening is back baby!

    We had a bit of a technical difficulty in this episode, so there's a bit of an abrupt cut from the original pod and we rerecorded about ten minutes of conversation. This was a really fun show and generated a great amount of discussion for a half hour show.

    And as always, 30 second pitches and crossovers!

    45 min
  • 57. Insatiable : Episode One

    We promised it, and it delivered. After doing dietland, a show about weight and the issues surrounding it, we had to do insatiable, just for the controversy around how it handled the topic of weight.

    And boy did we get more than we bargained for. To just mention the controversy does this show a disservice. Insatiable si a fascinating dark comedy... But is it good? Steve and Chris decide... at least for episode one!
