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 safe d*ck.

Jobina talks us through an interview she recently heard on the Modern Love podcast with therapist, Terry Real (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/podcasts/family-men-therapy-terry-real.html).

Also, yaaaaaaaasssss to Jessica Williams. We see you, girl.

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 tapes, and who should make the first move — approach or be approached?

Jobina brings up her parents (so take a drink, everybody), and as always, the episode includes a few wild, hilarious detours.

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, the questionable power of first impressions, and why more men need to listen to their women when it comes to fashion. Plus, Luther’s partial face blindness makes yet another appearance (we’re starting to think it’s real), and a few other hilarious detours as usual, as usual.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
