Produced by Jermaine Clement and Taika Waititi It's a television adaptation of their cult hit 2015 film of the same name.

How good is it? Does it lose anything in translation? How long did Chris think this was going to be a drama? Are there Twilight jokes?

All this, plus crossovers and 30 second pitches on this week's Episode One Podcast!

A very special guest this week. Mentioned on almost every episode of the pod, but never seen. Chris's wife Becca!

She Joins chris and Steve to discuss The Act, a new original true crime series from HULU. Featuring a fantastic cast (Chloe Sevigny, Patricia Arquette, AnnaSophia Robb and Joey King). This one gets creepy! but is very well acted.

So does this show surprise? what compelled Becca to come on the pod to discuss it? And what do you crossover a true crime series with?

All this and more on this week's Episode One Podcast.
