S2E10 - Highschool of the Dead Versus Deadman Wonderland

On Episode 9 of our podcast, Alex and Ethan take on some female centric shows. Who doesn't like an all female ensemble cast? Alex, unsurprisingly, recommended yet another crime show. But this time it's got girls so it's ok. It's different, we promise. Ethan went a lighter route and recommended Netflix Original Working Moms. They're basically the same show except not at all.

S2E9 - Good Girls Versus Working Moms

On Episode 8 of our podcast, Alex and Ethan tackle their first Rerun episode! Rerun episodes feature our lovely hosts talking about a show they love in its entirety! Little summary is done as they reminsece over their favorite gags while discussing the cultural impact of the show. Seeing as Archer aired the premiere of it's 11th and finale season Alex and Ethan took it upon themselves to discuss the ups and downs of such a long running show.

S2E8 - Rerun: Archer

On Episode 7 of our podcast, Alex and Ethan take on some grittier crime shows. Or at the very least shows about crime. Gritter than Riverdale? Well, depends on who's watching. Alex was low key obsessed with The Act when it came out on Hulu so, naturally, she had to make someone else watch it. Not that she can say too much about it, after all he only watched the first episode. Ethan in response made her watch Graceland- a show that her dad enjoyed. That's a first on First!

S2E7 - The Act Versus Graceland

On Episode 6 of our podcast Alex and Ethan do their first Self Pick episode! Aw dip, they just can't keep away from comics made for the scree. Although the comics have different vibes, somehow Archie manages to flirt with being a crime drama. Ethan has been meaning to watch Stumptown (created by Greg Rucka) which, frankly, is as on brand as you can get with the guy. Alex has heard that Riverdale (you know, that place Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead live?) is one hell of a roller coaster. Story checks out that she would need to watch it. For returning fans, thank you for sticking with us through our SECOND hiatus! We have built up quite the back log and are eager to share it. For new fans....you sure you're in the right place? Just double checking. Things get rather ridiculous over here and rarely for any good reason. We hope you enjoy your stay all the same.

S2E6 - Stumpton Versus Riverdale

On Episode 5 of our podcast Alex and Ethan dip their toes into the Comedy waters. There really isn't much of a theme besides that. Ethan was bullied into watching an Office clone (because of course Alex suggested an Office clone) called Borderline. Alex was pointed towards Dollface. In a continuing running theme this season Alex has some beef. Prepare for some feminist perspectives and listen as you can literally hear her temple throb. Sorry for the delayed release! Alex is in the midst of moving and its been a terrible experience. For returning fans, thank you for sticking with us through our SECOND hiatus!

S2E5 - Borderline Versus Dollface

On Episode 4 of our podcast Alex and Ethan put on their pajamas, grab their favorite stuffed animal, and add a splash of whiskey to their cereal as they tackle these "Adult" cartoons. Not that kind of adult, you pervs! Just, like, you know. Stuff that would play on Adult Swim. And did play on Adult Swim! We all know Alex has some weird cult-tv show tastes and she really let it shine in today's episode. Ethan was tasked to watch Frisky Dingo AND Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law because, frankly, they were too short to watch individually. Alex was told to (in what was meant to be an act of good faith) watch Harley Quinn. She, um, well. Has thoughts. But doesn't she always?

S2E4 - Frisky Dingo + Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law Versus Harley Quinn

How many times have you tried to get your friend to watch your favorite television show only to say, "But you have to watch the next episode." or "Don't judge it off the first episode," ? Here at #first! we know the woes of the pilot episode and lean into it. With a friendship forged through media consumption, Alex and Spencer kindly request one another to watch the pilot of a show they love. Oh, now's a good time to mention these two will fight over anything. Bringing no experience other than being born into a binging generation to the table, Alex and Spencer evaluate these pilots only to tear them apart. Mostly.
