One Episode Stand

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.

49: Task (HBO Max) Raises Questions about a Federal Bureau

This episode, Luther and Jobina discuss Task on HBO Max, about an FBI agent (Mark Ruffalo) heading a task force to put an end to a string of violent robberies led by an unassuming family man (Tom Pelphrey).

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!

47: The Chair Company (HBO Max) Is Not the Comedy We Thought It Was

We reviewed the series premiere of The Chair Company on HBO Max. Enjoy!

46: Black Rabbit (Netflix) Reminds Us to Never Open a Restaurant

In this episode of One Episode Stand, Luther and Jobina dive into Netflix's Black Rabbit, starring Jude Law and Jason Bateman as two brothers—one fun and reckless, the other stable… but only mildly less reckless. Along the way, Jobina confesses she was the "reliable" sibling growing up, while Luther admits reliability isn't exactly his strong suit these days. Expect sibling tangents, questionable life choices, and the kind of chaos only Black Rabbit (and One Episode Stand) can deliver.
