First! Hosted by Alex and Friends ·

2020/10/02

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.

S2E7 - The Act Versus Graceland

First! Hosted by Alex and Friends ·

2020/09/05

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!

First! Hosted by Alex and Friends ·

2020/08/21

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

S2E5 - Borderline Versus Dollface

First! Hosted by Alex and Friends ·

2020/08/14

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!

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

On Episode 3 of our podcast Alex and Ethan get a little weird with some Sci-Fi shows. You may have remembered last season's finale where Alex gushed over Colony (2016). Well it's her show so you bet your robo-alien butt that she made Ethan give it a go! Ethan picked a solid choice this week by suggesting The Twilight Zone (2019). We warned you it was going to get weird. Prepare yourselves for some Grandparents Describing Their Dreams level of detail as they tackle this week's episodes. For returning

On Episode 2 of our podcast Alex and Ethan blow dust off covers to witness some book adaptations come to life. Alex, in a cheap shot right in the beginning, tricks Ethan into watch Midnight Texas (2017). Ethan is trying to do Alex a solid (but maybe forgot she is loathed to enjoy super hero media) by having her watch Doom Patrol (2019). The show is picking up in tempo as the new pair get used to one another's diatribes and desires for one less spandex filled show. For returning fans, thank you for
