One Episode Stand

One Episode Stand

We have fun helping you figure out what to watch… and what to ghost. Think of it as one night stands, but for TV shows. 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.

In this episode, Jobina and Luther dive into The Chosen, Season 4, Episode 1 — and yes, Luther shamelessly plugs his book It’s Time to Question HOW Christians Believe, which you can find on Amazon and has great reviews. We reflect on how Jesus communicates in the show (still using symbolism, even with his own followers), and wonder: if the Bible is supposed to...

In this episode, Jobina and Luther watch The Virgins — a reality show following four people navigating sex, shame, and desire in a world obsessed with experience. It seems like two of them want to stay virgins and two really, really, really don’t. We talk about what it means to be a virgin later in life, how hard it can be to feel attractive when you don’t fit the mold, and the surprising revelation that one married couple stayed v...

This week, Jobina and Luther take on The Righteous Gemstones, but weirdly have to take on Season 4 Episode 2, instead of the series or season premiere. Still, they find plenty to talk about: honesty (or the lack thereof) in relationships and breakups, telethons, what it means to take a break from life, and yes… full frontal nudity.

Jobina and Luther dive into the Season 3 premiere of And Just Like That on Max — and things get chaotic fast.
Between a plotline about a pet and another about a kid, Luther’s patience is already tested. But the hosts also dig into the deeper stuff: why so many adults still want to be <...

In this episode, Jobina and Luther discuss Wear Whatever the F You Want on Prime Video.
The show marks the reunion of Clinton Kelly and Stacy London from What Not to Wear, following a long friendship breakup and on-screen reconciliation.

Luther and Jobina dig into the new season (S2E1) of Shrinking on AppleTV (or is it AppleTV+). This show follows a therapist trying to get his own life together by leaning on friends, family, coworkers, and even some of his clients. This opens the door for our hosts to talk through some interesting questions and take a few fun detours. Topics include product placement, affirmations, taking risks and making mistakes on the job, and s...

Yes, the title is a layered pile of bad puns — you’re welcome.

Forever on Netflix is a modern reimagining of Judy Blume’s classic book, where teens learn about love, sex, and all the messy stuff in between. Jobina and Luther dig into the show and ask some real questions about how much should we know about a lover’s past, sex t...

Luther and Jobina dive into Pop the Balloon on Netflix — and the original YouTube version that inspired it.

Spoiler: they like one more than the other.

Along the way, they get into finding love in the modern era, dealbreakers...

Luther and Jobina wade into Black Mirror (Netflix), Season 7 Episode 1 — starring Rashida Jones and Tracee Ellis Ross, who Luther may or may not have a big crush on.
The episode explores the personal side of death and letting go, all with the usual Black Mirror twists on technology.

Even with the heavy themes, Luther and Jobina still manage to take a few hilarious tangents.

This week, Jobina and Luther dive into The Four Seasons on Netflix — and it’s giving sketch comedy meets marriage therapy.

The show is categorized as a dramedy, and underneath the attempted laughs are some real questions about love, long-term relationships, and whether ...

This week, Luther and Jobina take on Season 3, Episode 1 of Love on the Spectrum.

Jobina’s a longtime fan. Luther’s a first-timer. And both are rooting hard for the cast to find real, meaningful love — even if it’s just as elusive for them as it is for the rest of us.

Of course, it wouldn’t be One Episode Stand without detours. This episode veers into speed dating flashbacks, parenting philosophies, unapologetic honesty, long-dista...

We usually start with Season 1, Episode 1 (S1E1), but this time we’re jumping into the deep end.

In this episode of One Episode Stand, Luther and Jobina dive into Season 2, Episode 1 (S2E1) of Severance on Apple TV — and yes, it’s just as weird, brilliant, and unsettling as you’d expect.

They unpack the show’s big questions: What happens when your work self and your home self don’t know each other? Is this the future of tech… or a ...

Luther and Jobina break the rules for this one. Instead of sticking to just the first episode, they watched the entire Hulu series Dying for Sex — and it was a ride. This episode goes deeper, as they reflect on what the series meant to them personally and what it’s really trying to say about intimacy, mortality, friendship, and sex.

Also, a heartfelt shoutout to Paula Pell, who delivers one of the greatest scenes either of them has...

This limited series is tense enough to cut with a knife, but Jobina and Luther still manage to crack a few smiles while breaking it down. From awkward teen years to real-life drama, this one hits close to home. First lesson? Be very careful who you ask how they're doing. Second? Maybe stop with the no-knock warrants. Third? Yeah… adolescence was a rolle...

Uzo Aduba leads a strong cast in this Shonda Rhimes (no relation to Busta) vehicle. Luther insists Susan Kelechi Watson does all the heavy lifting (pun fully intended), while Jobina finds herself swooning over Giancarlo Esposito. Randall Park, Isiah Whitlock Jr. from "Cocaine Bear" fame, Allie from "Kate and Allie," and non-victim Al Franken are other fan favorites who show up. There's some good and bad happening in this show, and ...

We’re back! Thanks for hanging in there with us. This week we get into Paradise on Hulu, starring the always smooth Sterling K. Brown — but let’s be honest, the real story is about a sleep-deprived DEI hire just trying to be a decent single dad. Jobina admits she’s basically been running on fumes for the past decade, and Luther, well, just can't relate. Along the way, we wander into the lore of single fathers in Disney movies, why ...

Arnold (Netflix) is a docu-series about the body builder, polician and movie star, and one of the things we learn is that he has no time for emotions. Somehow, we also learn that Jobina and her sister were big fans of LL Cool J. We also take tangents to talk about body issues, winning the lottery, and Biggie's "Mo Money, Mo Problems." Because there were no prominent women in the documentary, Luther is given the choice to Marry, Kil...

Man listen.... Anybody walking around calling themselves "Jim Bob" is suspicious. AND his wife had 19 kids! The cops should have stormed that house like they did the Branch Davidians!

Our episode might not be suitable for kids because we briefly discuss sexual abuse, but we don't get graphic and we move on pretty quickly. There are plenty other things to discuss with this hilariously sad show, "Shiny Happy People" on Amazon Prime.

Queen Charlotte (Netflix) wore her afro loudly and proudly, so that little girls everywhere can be proud of their natural hair as well. And Jobina can never say that she wasn't given anything! This show was for her, and she was more than happy to discuss it. And of course we took our usual-unusual tangents, discussing everything from colorism, arranged marriage, and the royal family to how good of a gift giver Jobina is... if you a...
