The Episode One Podcast

This week Steve and Chris makes things more Family Friendly and take a look at Fraggle Rock!... Wait (*checks notes*) oh... this isn't family friendly at all?

This week Steve and Chris delve into the darkness that ensues when you mix Stephen King and JJ Abrams and explore the Hulu Original Series: Castle Rock. How many references do Steve and Chris Catch? What other author's works would make for a great episodic series in a grand meta-narrative? What's in this JJ Abrams Mystery Box? could it be...

SATAN?

All this and more on the Episode One Podcast!

55 Episodes! and there were those who said we'd never make 54! well phooey on them!

This time, to celebrate the occasion we take a look at one of Chris's favorite shows of all time (Nowhere Man) and One of Steve's (Garth Marenghi's Darkplace). Both a bit older, how do they hold to up to a re-viewing?

We also take a look back and update our old shows, which have we continued to watch, what's still on the air? what shows have we cursed to oblivion?

Enjoy this 55th episode spectacular, we couldn't have made it without all of your!

Once again Steve and Chris dig into the past to watch and older show that ties up to a recent movie release.

This week it's that rarity of a thing, Mission Impossible without Tom Cruise! How does a show from the 60s hold up? How true to the show have the movies been? And how the heck did Mission Impossible connect to Diagnosis Murder?

All this along with 30 second pitches and crossovers on the Episode One Podcast!

Not even sure where to start on this one. It's one of the most interesting shows we've done (And We've done Sense8!) It's definitely the most "woke" show.

Tune in for discussions of how sometimes you can miss catering to your audience, whether a show can be too sad, and whether a big twist can be enough to tune back in for episode two!

All that and crossovers and 30 second pitches!

Last time we had sense8, which was only mildly confusing, but this time we've got take two? but when did we do this podcast the first time?

Oh wait it's ok, Rachel Bilson is on! That's right, this week Steve and Chris look at the new summer show from the creators of Castle. What other shows did this remind us of. We also take a look back at the history of summer shows, discuss some of our favorites, and we discuss the state of the summer show in this new peak tv/streaming moment.

And as always, 30 second pitches and Crossovers!

What better way to celebrate the finale of Sense8 than to go back to the beginning.

Is the show more confusing than Twin Peaks? How does the combination of the Wachowskis and J Michael Stracynzski fare? Is there enough here to get us to binge the complete series now that it's finished?

Also what is the deal with Daryl Hannah and Sayid? Also we discuss whether pornhub original programming can be a thing.

It's finally happened. The Marvel Universe has collided with the Freeform cinematic universe.

Can Bella Thorne defeat Thanos? Will the Fosters adopt Black Widow? Can Siren be a backdoor pilot for the Namor TV Series (Is Namor Mutant or not? c'mon people!) Can Grownish help the runaways? (I smell crossover episode)

Until we get the answers to these questions and more, Steve and Chris discuss the long awaited Cloak and Dagger. What narrative trick did it get us with, what MCU shout out excited us the most, and does the series work?

All this plus crossovers and 30 second pitches!

A little late to the party, Chris and Steve watch Killing Steve... I mean Eve, Killing Eve, definitely NOT Killing Steve...

Does it live up to the hype? Was it worth losing Sandra Oh from Gray's Anatomy? Wait Gray's Anatomy is still on?

And, as always, Crossovers and 30 second pitches!

Join Chris and Steve as we watch 3 different Arrested Development Episode Ones (A new Record!) We go back and re-watch the pilot that started it all. We watch season 4's episode one again for the first time with Arrested Development Season 4 Fateful Consequences. And we check in on the Bluths latest development with season 5.

How has the show, and the fandom progressed over the years? Does the pilot still hold up? What themes come into play recurringly throughout the series?

And as always, crossovers and 30 second pitches!

This week Chris and Steve finally get around to the hit show of 2016. Westworld.

What surprises lie in store? How does it compare to the film? And to Ichy and Scratchy Land?

Can they avoid using LOST as a crossover? And can Chris entice you to watch his children's version of Westworld: Lollipop Land?
