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!
