The Episode One Podcast

Fresh off the Oscars, we're here to talk about Oscar Host Amy Schumer! Well, we also talk a little about other stuff that happened that night.

But then Back to Amy Schumer, she has a new show on Hulu, and the Episode One Podcast was curious, so we dive in!

We also found another Comic book Show! Can you believe it? DMZ, based off the Brian Wood - Riccardo Burchielli Vertigo series, adapted into a miniseries starring Rosario Dawson!

An eclectic pair of show this week, and we may have had a bit more fun talking about them than we did watching them.

Join us, won't you? On this week's Episode One Pdcast!

A new record for us, 3 shows, almost under one hour!

We debated doing one big crossover and having the show be "Winning flags dropout" but, that was too confusing, even for us.

This week we discuss the Hulu docudrama about Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos, a docu drama about the 80s Showtime Lakers, AND a somewhat based on a true story about pirates!

It's here! The 155th Episode Spectacular!

We take a look at two great new episode ones, Bel-Air, the reimagining of The Fresh Prince, and Single Drunk Female, the latest addition to the Freeform Cinematic Universe.

We also take a look back at shows we've watched more, and there are quite a few!

Also Crossovers, and a 30 second pitch for the ages... Is Bel-Air the real story and Fresh Prince was the "How I met your Mother" style retelling?

And we thought we picked two shows with nothing in common? Both shows are all about fathers! Sure in one you don't know the father is, but in the other the father is a Nazi Asshole!

Remember in December when we were afraid of Comic Book Tv Show overload? Turns out the Cure is James Gunn!

And the sequel show/spinoff/reboot continues. Does it work this time?

All this and crossovers and 30 second pitches!

There are two types of shows the episode one podcast must do.

Comic book shows and Star Wars shows.

Boba Fett is back, the Mandalorian isn't yet. This is the second live action Star Wars show, how does it hold up. Can it differentiate itself from the Mandalorian, or is it more of the same? (not that more Mando would be bad).

Also a lot of takes on Star Wars Episode One, the other thing we discuss. All this plus 30 second pitches and Crossovers!

And just like that, there's a new podcast episode.

This week Steve and Chris take a look at another sequel series. Sequel series have been sort of a backbone of this podcast. They keep evolving, with the latest being one no one thought would ever happen. And it's good?

Also while she couldn't be on the pod, Chris's wife, a long time Sex and the City fan gives her thoughts to Chris.

All this plus 30 second pitches and crossovers!

They did it again. They stole Steve's mind! Rogers the musical was his idea dammit!

Eventually Steve and Chris put that aside and offer to write the X-Men into the MCU... and also review Episode one of Hawkeye.

Did this show solve Comic Book burnout? or just make it worse?

All this plus 30 second pitches and crossovers!

Anime and Comics, how much more Episode One can you get?

This week Steve and Chris take a look at the Live Action Remake of the classic Anime, Cowboy Bebop. Is it a live action Adaptation that works?

We also look at a rarity, a comic book character neither Steve nor Chris are very familiar with, Hit-Monkey. This is the last of the non MCU Marvel tv adaptations, at this point we've done them all. I think it ends on a bang!

Plus we talk about comics burnout, anime in general, a bunch of other random stuff, and as always, 30 second pitches and cross overs!

To be clear, these are two different shows... Fairfax on Amazon Prime, 4400 on CW.

So we have a trend. Shows named after streets Steve lives by. Hollywood might be getting lazier... but hey we can roll with it.

4400 is a remake of a show Chris sort of liked, sort of hated back in the Aughts. Now it's been updated for the new decade and is on the CW instead of USA. (also the changed the name from "The 4400" to "4400" but yet it's on "The" CW. Interesting.

Fairfax is a spoof on modern tween culture... and it's fun!

All this plus crossovers and 30 second pitches!

Steve is live on the scene of the sinkhole. As we discuss the latest network "event" show, La Brea. imagining a world where LA has a non earthquake related disaster, and maybe there's time travel?

I have to to admit, this show is a bit of a mess, but is it so bad it's good? Let's talk..

We also get distracted by DC Fandome news, most notably the Black Adam teaser. All this plus crossovers and 30 second pitches.
