About One Episode Stand

We have fun helping you figure out what to watch… and what to ghost. Each episode is a one night stand, but for a TV show. We watch and discuss the premiere of a new show, then move on to the next one — no strings, no commitment. We also dig into some of the bigger questions these shows raise when you're not just watching, but actually paying attention. Subscribe to the podcast to be alerted when new episodes drop. And if you want us to discuss a new show, jump in our DMs @oneepisodestand.

   50: Our Fiftieth Episode

   In this special 50th episode of One Episode Stand – Luther and Jobina ditch the usual format and throw a tongue-in-cheek awards show to look back on the 49 TV premieres they've watched so far. From Beef and Adolescence to Virgins, Queen Charlotte, Seeking Brother Husband, and The Righteous Gemstones – they hand out awards for best pilot, worst show, biggest missed opportunity, least sexy sex scene, most forgettable series, and more. Along the way, they revisit standout moments, debate which couples they rooted for, argue about period pieces, reality TV manipulation, laugh tracks, and why originality feels so rare in an era of hundreds of new streaming shows every year. They also talk about generational themes in television – staying vs. leaving marriages, jobs, churches, and relationships – and what kinds of stories they want to see more (and less) of going forward. As always, expect thoughtful takes, sharp critiques, and plenty of ridiculous tangents as Luther and Jobina celebrate 50 episodes of helping you decide what to watch – and what to ghost.

   48: Monster: Ed Gein (Netflix) Is Another Killer We Didn't Need to Celebritize

   Luther and Jobina take some responsibility for celebritizing this clown, but these awful historical figures don't need any more recognition. That said, Luther and Jobina take some interesting tangents to discuss religious trauma and how to deal with the criminally insane, and even stumble upon a laugh or two along the way. You'll enjoy it!
