Terminator Zero, Rick and Morty Anime : Episodes One (Netflix, Adult Swim)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...2024-09-021h 15The Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast195.

All this plus Crossovers and Thirty Second Pitches2024-07-241h 04The Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast194. The Acolyte, Clipped : Episodes One (Disney +, FX on Hulu on Disney +)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!2024-06-181h 25The Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast193.

Avatar The Last Airbender : Episode One (Netflix)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.

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!2024-01-191h 27The Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast189.

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

Krapopolis : Episode One (Fox/Hulu)We've got a short (for us) episode tonight. The twice renewed Krapopolis has finally aired. Was it worth the wait (and the hype?)

Let us know what you think, and follow us! linktr.ee/episodeonepod2023-10-0141 minThe Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast186. One Piece : Episode One (Netflix Live Action)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.

Plus we dig deep into Skrull steve.2023-09-031h 02The Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast185. Ahsoka : Episode One (Disney +)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.2023-08-271h 03The Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast184.

Gotham Knights : Episode One (CW)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...2023-03-2359 minThe Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast177.

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!2023-03-101h 28The Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast176.

Obi-Wan Kenobi : Episode One (Disney +)Not even Covid could stop us... though it could delay us, from fulfilling our destiny and reviewing a show starring the hero of Star Wars Episode One... this podcast's namesake if you believe Steve.

Can it hold up to things, and did this show inadvertently create the Flea multiverse? all this and more on this Star Wars episode one podcast.2022-06-0951 minThe Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast160. Shoresy : Episode One (Hulu/Crave)"So what is Shoresy?" "well it's" "Huh?" "Well it's a spin off of Letterkenny" You'll get it once you watch it.

Moon Knight : Episode One (Disney +)What's real? Is Obi-Wan real? Is this podcast? Is Steve? Moon Knight is here, perhaps the biggest leap the Marvel Cinematic universe has taken thus far... or at least in terms of TV Shows. How does the show stack up to previous Marvel shows with more established characters? How does the Star power of Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke fare?  And is this show more proof that the Freeform Cinematic Universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe are one and the same?

The Dropout, Our Flag Means Death, Winning Time : Episodes One (Hulu, HBO MAX, HBO)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!  2022-03-091h 09The Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast155. Bel-Air Single Drunk Female The 155th Episode Spectacular (Peacock, Freeform/Hulu)It's here! The 155th Episode Spectacular!

How I Met Your Father/ Peacemaker : Episodes One (Hulu,/HBO Max)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!2022-01-271h 16The Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast153. The Book of Boba Fett : Episode One (Disney +)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!2022-01-051h 11The Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast152. And Just Like That... : Episode One (HBO Max)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!2021-12-171h 25The Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast151. Hawkeye : Episode One (Disney +)They did it again. They stole Steve's mind!

Cowboy Bebop Hit- Monkey : Episodes One (Netflix, Hulu)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 o...2021-11-251h 25The Episode One PodcastThe Episode One Podcast149. 4400 Fairfax : Episodes One (CW, Amazon Prime)To be clear, these are two different shows...
