The Sequel to the Office, the resumption of the Space Force Draft Countdown and our first apple TV Show!

We talk about The Paper airing on NBC, the scenes that were cut and what worked.

Then we go into Plur1bus, rejected titles for the show and where it's going next.

All this plus far too much talk about 90s fox sitcoms and Gilligan's island

On this Episode One Podcast

This week we get into the world of fake Ted Lasso, also known as Chad Powers.

Well that's a little unfair, while they share some DNA, they are very different shows. One is about Football, one is about Football.

We also talk a little Hawk Tuah and Banana Ball

And up front we discuss Marvel Zombies, the spinoff from Marvel's What If show. We dig into the differences from the comics and the differences from What If.

And, as always, Crossovers and 30 second pitches!

Apologies for any audio issues, we recorded with a different headset and a different website.

This month Steve and Chris are checking out 3 new shows which all live in Disney +... sort of. Well Hulu is merging into Disney Plus, but a lot of Hulu content is already on Disney +, and while America is not getting Star, most other countries can watch these titles on Disney + Star already. So, Good luck, but you can probably find the shows on Disney+ one way or another.

First off right around 3:00 we talk about season 14 of King of the Hill (a rare case where we've watched more than just t he first episode) and well, we love it. 

at 30:00 we talk briefly about Eyes of Wakanda and dig into it's history and how doing a "Wakanda in mythological history" show came off.

Then at 39:00 we deep dive into Episode one of the new FX/Hulu/Noah Hawley show Alien:Earth. And there is a lot to talk about for a show we're both eager to dive into more.

All this plus crossovers and 30 second pitches on the Episode One Podcast

Up front we start with some discussion of Paramount, the Late Show, Late night in general, Complying in advance and the facist state us americans are currently stuck in. Skip ahead to around 16:30 to get straight to the Dexter of it all.

Dexter Resurrection! Once again we have a show where one of us has watched it all, the other is watching his first episode! Guess who's who this time?

Some fun discussion about how well, and sometimes not, the show does to introduce itself to new audiences. Some discussion about the growing Dexter-Verse (do we have a replacement for the Freeform Cinematic Universe?) and some speculation about what's next.

All this plus a killing Steve reference on the episode one podcast!

After a brief break, the Episode One Podcast is back! And yes, we're covering another Comic Book show. The last of the current phase of MCU shows, Ironheart, spinning off from 2022's Wakanda Forever... in 2025.. is a six part series, but as usual, we only watched the first episode.

Does this show hold up, does it reinvigorate us the way Daredevil did, does it make us want more MCU shows. (beyond Vision Quest and Wonder Man, the well is a bit dry).

Also Steve's Father Bible has a youtube channel! Check out Father Bible's first short film here: https://www.youtube.com/@fatherbible

So close. So close to having a reboot of a show we've done on the podcast, be on the podcast.

But we started the Pod in 2017 and Daredevil (Netflix) premiered in 2015

We are pretty close to it happening (Please Girlboss or Powerless)

So Daredevil is Born Again, on Disney +. We've seen him back a few times in the MCU, including in Echo! How does this series hold up to the original, and to the recent MCU series?

All this plus we end up rebooting Buffy the Vampire Slayer, because why not?

We are back, and as promised we are bringing you Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man! And yes we're a couple weeks late, but to make up for it we're discussing Win or Lose, the new, and controversial Disney + show from Pixar!

Is it good despite the controversy? How does the no longer DCU Spider-Man Cartoon hold up?

All this and more on the latest episode one pod!

After a post holiday and everything delay, Chris and Steve are back with part 2 of our review of every show we've seen!

We take a look at episodes 101-198

We discuss what show we watched, whether it was a success or failure, and how much our podcast played a part in that show's success or failure.

Also check out my Son's youtube channel mentioned in the episode: https://www.youtube.com/@TheIndomizer

The road to 199 is over. 199 is here, and in just 2 hours and 30 minutes, Chris and Steve discuss Every Episode of their podcast, up to epsiode 100. We discuss what show we watched, whether it was a success or failure, and how much our podcast played a part in that show's success or failure.

That's right! There is just too much to discuss in one episode, so we are doing two parts.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.

In this episode we discuss:

Welcome back, apologies for the short delay between episodes. things have been... weird in the US.

Chris and Steve spend a bit of time decompressing, talking about shows they almost covered but didn't. Including Mr McMahon and Doctor Odyssey. Before we finally get to a new Cartoon on Adult Swim.

Invincible Fight Girl!

It's a pretty cute show, it fits into the wrestling trope for our podcast, and we liked it.

If you want to jump straight to Invincible Fight Girl, skip ahead to about 38:00

Plus, Crossovers and 30 second pitches!

Are three shows too much for one episode?

Not when two are long awaited comic book shows and the third has a tie to one of them!

This week Chris and Steve take a look at The Penguin a spin off series from 2022's The Batman film

The sequel to 2021's Wanda Vision: Agatha All Along

And a new Procedural that caught our eye, High Potential starring Kaitlin Olson from The Mick and It's Always Sunny!

It's a long episode, so buckle in and let's go!

We've promised a few all anime episodes, I think we finally delivered.

We've been graced by two drastically different Anime adaptations of American products.

Each a little controversial, mostly for being more of an anime style american series than an anime done for a foreign audience and then brought to the US. However, the Rick and Morty Anime is even more controversial for..... nobody quite knowing what it is?

Chris has never been more confused by a show, and then add on more4 confusion to find the Rick and Morty audience doesn't get it either!

However Teminator was really good!

All this and more, on the Episode One Podcast

We are so back. We did not just fall out of a coconut tree.

But Maybe Chuck Brown, aka Kite Man did? The Spinoff to the great R Rated cartoon series (Batman says FUCK!) Harley Quinn is here.

And did someone say Noonan's?

Chris gushes about the Garth Ennis Hit Man, Steve provides all the context from the Harley Quinn Series, and we have as much fun as we've had since M.O.D.O.K.

All this plus Crossovers and Thirty Second Pitches

Has it really been nearly a year since the last Star Wars show? It doesn't feel like it's been that long, yet it also feels like forever.

Has it really been TEN years since the Donald Sterling scandal? And the Clippers still haven't won anything since?

Hard to tell what's more cursed, The Clippers or the public's reaction to recent Star Wars media.

Well Steve and Chris are here to take them both head on.

All this plus crossovers and 30 second pitches!

We are firmly in Chris territory today, as it's a video game adaptation. Although we do learn Steve has played a Fallout game before, he's not sure which one, but he has!

How does Fallout on Amazon Prime fare for a longtime (since 97) fan and for someone pretty much brand new to the franchise?

Find out all this, some Phantom Menace talk and a whole lot more on a new Episode One Pod.

This week Steve and Chris have a special guest, Cindy Moon (https://www.instagram.com/cindymoon007) She's here to talk about X-men 97 Netflix's The Three Body Problem.

We spend a little time getting to Know Cindy, and then a brief digression into Moonfall (F* the Moon! F* the Moon!) Then we get into our two shows!

First we dig into X-men 97 (10:30). Talk about our respective histories with the original Fox cartoon show and dig into the controversy behind the showrunner's dismissal.

Then we jump over to Three Body Problem (48:30). Cindy gets deep into the depiction of the Cultural Revolution, and Chris talks about how he enjoys "Hard" Sci-fi like this. We also discuss the long history of attempts to adapt the original Chinese Novel.

And we wrap it up with Crossovers and 30 second pitches!

Steve and Chris watch Avatar, no not that one, no not that one, no definitely not that year... Yeah the new one, the live action one on netflix.

After one hit (One Piece) and one miss (Cowboy Bebop) how is Netflix's latest foray into the world of live action anime? Overall, not bad.

Before all that, Chris talks a bit about Madame Web, and yeah, pretty much everything you've heard about it is right.

The MCU is back... the seth MCfarlane cinematic Universe! Wait, oh yeah Echo is part of the other MCU.

After a long layoff, Ted is back. And this time he's on the Goldbergs? Not exactly, but we talk about the similarities. Also, Steve never watched either Ted film.

We also dive into Echo, which checks a lot of boxes for the podcast. Comic book adaptation, Native Heritage, overall inclusive theories. And violence?

It's a great, if slightly tardy episode of the Episode One Podcast!

After a lot of bad timing that led to a month long layoff. Chris and Steve are back.

In lieu of a Christmas episode, we're giving ourselves a present and watch Scott Pilgrim Takes Off!

And to be a little more timely, the new to America, Such Brave Girls.

Hear some stories about the original Scott Pilgrim, hear out tak eon the new one, and discover something new in Such Brave Girls

Happy Holidays!

Gen V, Frasier, how could you imagine a better 188th spectacular?

We spend about the first 45 minute son Gen V, how it relates to Pretty Little Liars, and whether it succeeds enough to get Steve to pay for Prime.

Then we do a quick check-in on Frasier, where in we discuss Kelsey Grammar's career more than the show.

Then we spend the last half talking about shows from the podcast's past and set ourselves up for the road to 199!!!

We've got a short (for us) episode tonight.

The twice renewed Krapopolis has finally aired. Was it worth the wait (and the hype?)

We probably ended up talking a bit more about the history and scheduling of the show than the show itself. But it was a unique show and a unique story.

Let us know what you think, and follow us! linktr.ee/episodeonepod

Apologies for the poor audio quality. Chris didn't realize the worng microphone was selected. He sounds like he's on a boat with Luffy.

We finally review one of the One shows, after a missed opportunity in 2020, we have a second chance at One Piece.

We marvel at the history of the Manga and Anime, then dig into how they seemingly did everything right in this adaptation.

Plus we dig deep into Skrull steve.

Finally, Star Wars on the episode one podcast.

Again.

But this time, we feature a character directly tied to Star Wars Episode One. Ahsoka is technically Qui-Gon's Great Grand Padawan. (it makes sense if you're weird)

Is the Star Wars universe reaching MCU's level of over saturation? Or is this the perfect thing to watch as we head towards the no-content age?

All this plus Crossovers and 30 second pitches.

So wait, whose adventures? Chris's Steve's? Lois? Jimmy Olsen's? Mxyzptlk? 

It's a new Animated series airing on Adult Swim and Streaming on Max (which we will never get used to saying)

It's got an Anime vibe, and it's really fun, enjoy it with us!

Skrulls? we don't got no stinking Skrulls?

Or do we? Steve may have been replaced by a Skrull? Who else is a Skrull? What exactly is happening in Moscow? And di MArvel pull off making the MCU version of a storyline better than the comic one... again?

All this, plus we enter the Urkelverse, on the episode one podcast.
