The Episode One Podcast

This week we watch two shows with a lot more in common than you'd think.

Despite one being base don a true story, and one based on the iconic indie comic series. Both tap into Politics, the power dynamics between Men and Women, and both are associated with Hulu.

Steve and Chris discuss their memories living through the Impeachment of Bill Clinton and their knowledge of the Y: The Last Man Comic series.

All this, plus Crossovers and 30 second pitches.

Standing Tall!...

So excited for this reboot of Perfect strangers, is Nicole Kidman Balki???

Oh, it's not? Well it's a pretty great miniseries, brought to us by the team of David E. Kelley and Nicole Kidman who did Big Little Lies on HBO.

Watch it, lsiten to us chat. We also discuss The Chair, in a new sponsorship with Ikea we aim to...

Oh, no, it's a show? Sandra Oh? Not Killing Steve? Cool. We discuss this Dramedy about higher education in the modern age.

All this, plus a new game "Will it stay a mini series or get a season two?"

It's finally time, the prophecy fulfilled. We watched Titans, once it was not on the DC Universe app. We predicted it wouldn't work, we predicted HBO Max would supplant it, Swamp Thing fell first, then Stargirl, Doom Patrol, and now Titans.

We also check out the latest MCU show, What If. and a really cool show from Taiki Waititi, Reservation dogs. As a person of Indigenous ancestry, Steve was excited for the representation, but also it's a great show. a 30 minute dramedy about 4 Native American teenagers living on a Reservation in Oklahoma, with dreams of moving to California, check it out on FX on Hulu.

All this plus Crossovers and 30 second pitches.

This week we're going with a little bit of "Now and Then". No not that movie (love you Christina Ricci). We're doing 2 reboots/sequel series and a sort of satire/parody/reimagining?

iCarly is back! (26:00) originally a mid aughts nickelodeon show, it gets the reboot treatment that Hilary Duff failed to get with Lizzie McGuire. Does it succeed, or do we find out why the Lizzie show never happened?

Gossip Girl is back! (47:50) Does it live up to the original? Does it fulfill Steve's cravings for another pretty little liars? Does it inspire Chris to finally finish the original series? Is it still relevant today?

Kevin can F**k himself (4:20) Not so much a now and then, but an inventive dark comedy that takes some influence from the various tropes in Kevin James sitcoms (Kevin can Wait, King of Queens) and some similar sitcoms. It's great and we could have spent an hour talking about it. Just go watch it.

All this and 30 second pitches, cross overs and a long long pod!!!

It's never too late to discuss a new Comic book TV Show!

After Chris and Steve's respective vacations, we are back with our take on the latest Disney + MCU show, featuring everyone's favorite God/Villain/father of Santa's Reindeer... Loki!

How's it hold up? how excited is Chris for more Cassette Futurism? Will Steve ever remember that movie he used to like to talk about?

All this plus crossovers and 30 second pitches!

Apologies for the audio, we had microphone issues at the last minute.

This week another comic book series adaptation, we may have entered peak comic tv!

Sweet Tooth, based on the Jeff Lemire comic of the same name is the latest Netflix comic book adaptation. It's more in the fantasy/post-apocalyptic domain, but it's pretty dang cool.

Steve discuss the pilot, dig into the weeds, find out a cool connection between Gus and an early show we did on the podcast.

Also Crossovers and 30 second pitches!

This week we are back with another Comic Book Show. And we've got a guest!

Ryan Dunlavey (https://www.ryandunlavey.com/) wrote a 2009 M.O.D.O.K. One Shot for the Dark Reign crossover that served as one of the inspirations for the new HULU MODOK show, brought to us by Jordan Blum and Patton Oswalt.

This latest one comes from the mind of Mark Millar (and the pen of Frank Quitely!) Creator of Kick-Ass, The Ultimates, Civil War, Old Man Logan and much much more.

Steve read the original series, this is Chris's first exposure, how does it perform, and why does Josh Duhamel look like an old Brad Pitt now?
