  • Call The MidWife: Transforming your Character from the Inside
    Sep 27 2024
    While Call The Midwife premieres its thirteenth season, The Episode One Show takes on the pilot as it follows real life midwife and memoirist Nurse Lee on her journey of growth in the slums of East London post World War 2. This workplace drama/case of the week/ fish out of water story clearly has real staying power and is much more than just "the show your mother likes".

  • Tracker: White Superhero for Hire
    Sep 20 2024
    Welcome back to season 2 of The Episode One Show with Colin J Harden and Julian Elijah Martinez! We took a little summer break, and now we are back with one of the most popular shows on network tv from 2023 (if anyone still watches network TV.) The hit CBS procedural Tracker. Not to be confused with the short-lived Canadian TV show by the same name or the 2010 neo western or the 2007 thriller, no this Tracker is different. Starring Justin Hartley as a mercenary with a mysterious past who specializes in...well tracking people, the episodic thriller feels very early 2000s TV. Think Prison Break expect out in the woods. This tight 60-minute pilot has a lot to teach us, so give us a listen to see how we unpacked the first procedural we covered on this show. Make sure to follow us on all socials.

  • Game of Thrones: The OG of Subverting Expectations
    Jul 26 2024

    In this Season Finale of The Episode One Show, Colin Harden and Elijah Martinez take on the epic juggernaut that is Game of Thrones. That's right we finally did the thing we said we never would and covered the holy grail. What did we discover? The pedestal we pout this pilot on has massive cracks and deserves some critique with some 2024 colored glasses. Take a listen and let us know, does Game of Thrones pilot hold up? Did it age poorly? Oh and you'll never guess who we gave the Juneteenth award to. Thanks for an amazing season! Make sure to follow our socials and jump on the new patreon page! We'll return late summer for a brand new season of The Episode One Show!

    Hosts, Colin J Harden and Julian Elijah Martinez cover the reboot/ sequel slash millennial childhood Saturday morning personified in a television show, X Men 97. Putting together a show thats familiar and needs to bring in a new group of viewers is hard but X Men 97 strikes a good balance and retains its places as a formidable vehicle for discussing contemporary socials issues. However, Colin and Elijah ask the question: Did they try to do too much? This episode is full of hilarious takes and more coldest lines in a 22 minute episode of TV in EP One Show history!
