  • 30: The Four Seasons (Netflix) Starring Alan Alda and Colman Domingo
    May 11 2025

    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 couples can actually grow old together.

    Naturally, Jobina and Luther take on the big stuff — and a few deliciously unnecessary tangents. An Alan Alda cameo sends them down a retro rabbit hole, where they learn the series is a remake of a 1981 film starring Alda and Carol Burnett.

    The show features an all-star cast including Tina Fey (Liz Lemon), Colman Domingo, and Michael Scott, I mean Steve Carell.

  • 29: Love On the Spectrum (Netflix) is like Love Off the Spectrum - Elusive
    May 11 2025

    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-distance love, deal breakers, secondhand awkwardness, and if "making out" is getting to second base or third base.

    Also, Luther might be lowkey disappointed by the show’s lack of drama - it's reality TV, after all.

  • 28: Severance (AppleTV) Takes OES To S2E1 Territory
    May 4 2025

    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 warning? And what does it even mean to “exist”?

    As always, there are tangents, laughs, and a few existential spirals along the way.

  • 27: Dying For Sex (Hulu) is Life Giving
    May 4 2025

    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 ever seen on screen — TV or film.

  • 26: Adolescence (Hulu) is a Wild Ride - On-Screen and In Real Life
    Apr 10 2025

    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 rollercoaster for both of your cohosts.

    Along the way, they veer into conversations about the surveillance state, how (and if) you talk to your parents about your teen years, and whether British accents or a uniform can still get it in 2025.

    It’s deep, it’s messy, and it’s fun — just like being a teenager.

  • 25: The Residence (Netflix) has Crazy Eyes and Crazy Kitsch
    Apr 3 2025

    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 Jobina and Luther take every opportunity to discuss the relevant tangents, including mansplaining and shelaboration. Put on your slips and enjoy the episode!

  • 24: Paradise (Hulu) is Really About a Sleep-Deprived DEI Hire Who’s a Single Dad
    Apr 1 2025

    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 soap operas might secretly be the blueprint, and of course, the undeniable fact that women love tall men. It’s classic us — some wild detours, more than a few laughs, and occasionally something interesting is said.
