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 Steve may have been replaced by a Skrull?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.
Special thanks to Arnold Schwarzenegger's Pump Club https://schwarzenegger.ck.page/19c6c79315
Not a sponsor, but we got to see an early Fan Screening and Red Carpet experience via 1iota due to Arnold's Pump Club.
This week we watched episode one of Arnold's first TV Show, Fubar!
As Chief Action Officer at Netflix, does this True Lies adjacent series work?
All that plus Crossovers and 30 second pitches on this Episode One Podcast!
Two very different shows, with one commonality, Chris and Steve were each very afraid! but guess who was afraid of which?
at 6:25 we dive into the newest True Crime show on Hulu/Disney + star. The Clearing is a true crime story about the Australian cult "The Family" And it is pretty creepy.
Then at 30:35 we cover the newest Muppets Show. Muppet Mayhem! And it's brought to us by The Goldbergs?
All this, plus crossovers and 30 second pitches!
Solidarity with WGA.
As writers ourselves we hope for both a quick, but effective resolution to the Writer's Strike.
This week we are checking out the remake, of the 80s film, on Paramount Plus.
Fatal Attraction.
Can Pacey live up to Michael Douglas? Will steve and Chris fall in love with Lizzy Caplan again?
All this plus crossovers and 30 second pitches!
Join Steve and Chris to discuss what may be the deepest digging a reboot/prequel/sequel series has ever done.
A prequel to the 1978 movie Grease! And you know what, it kind of works. But Steve is afraid of the music. The music Jerry!.
Steve also watched the brand new (to the US) Hulu Show Am I Being Unreasonable. Another BBC to Hulu transplant, it has serious Life after Beth vibes, but in a good way!
All that plus a Riverdale crossover pitch, and some deep 70s 30 second pitches!
The Arrowverse is dead.
Arrow has ended. The Flash is ending, Stargirl is Gone. Batwoman? Lois and Clark's future is unknown.
But Gotham Knights is here to avenge, well someone's death (Batman's). While not directly based off the recent video game it shares a lot.
Chris and Steve talk about the interesting choices, the semi obscure characters used (to great effect) and discuss if a season 2 would, or should be in the cards.
All this plus a 30 second pitch that includes a lot of Spiderman... and a reference to the Trouble comic series.
Hello and welcome to Episode 177! That's a lot of episodes.
Like every 11th episode, we take a look back at shows we've done recently and ask the question, did they merit more than just the first episode?
But first we chat about the Mel Brooks special, History of the World Part II
It's a show that's getting dumped on by critics... but we liked it?
It's hard to not like a Nick Kroll/Wanda Sykes/Ian Barinholtz vehicle!
Is the network sitcom back? Well at the very least it's declared death was premature!
This week Steve and Chris chekc out Animal Control, the new Joel McHale workplace comedy, and Not Dead Yet, Gina Rodriguez's new show.
Both had some surprises in store for our hosts. First, we found out Mr Mayor was cancelled, since one our faves, Vella Lovell, ism on this show! Then Chris went into Not Dead Yet without knowing the twist, Jane the Virgin sees dead people!
All this plus crossovers and 30 second pitches!
Welcome back to this week in superhero shows.
But this time we have something very different!
A new British comedy where the Incredibles proves true: "If everyone's special, nobody is"
A world in which everyone gets superpowers at 18, and the trials and travails of one young woman who's powers haven't kicked in yet.
This show is definitely worth a watch, and our review is worth a listen!
Reboot season never ends.
This week we've got two hot off the press January Reboots.
First off we talk about the NBC reboot of Night Court. We also take a look back to the 80s and watch episode one of the classic night court.
We also discuss, should Abby Stone's name have been Abby Nighter, so we could call it Nighter Court?
Then at around the 50 minute mark we dive into That 90's show.
They hit all the classics on this one, it's a pilot with nostalgia +. But honestly not much 90's nostalgia.
