So, What‘s the Problem?

Bonus episode featuring extended or deleted conversations from the K-9 and Company episode. Join Jimmy, Martin and Owen as they talk British soap operas, Doctor Who and seeing a former Doctor in a supermarket. Contains some bad language because we're adults and swearing is cool.

Martin and Owen from the Extended Edition podcast join Jimmy to chat about the Doctor Who spin-off, K-9 and Company which is about everyone's favourite tin dog. It is also set at Christmas, hence the timing of the release. We don't always half-ass things at Drop the Pilot you know. Most of the time, but not always.

An episode of Tysto Commentaries in which Jimmy guests to talk about The Muppet Christmas Carol along with the film.

Jimmy and Tysto bring the holiday "cheer" talking about the really rather bad Christmas in Tattertown, an animated pilot from Ralph Bakshi. They complain about pretty much all of it then talk about Christmas movies/TV specials that they do like.

Martin and Jimmy talk and talk and talk... This bonus episode is a collection of out-takes and extended conversations that were edited out of the Pryde of the X-Men episode. Stuff that couldn't really be included but I thought were amusing enough to listen to anyway. Contains strong language.

In memory of the legend that is Stan Lee, Martin and Jimmy visit the 1989 animated X-Men pilot, Pryde of the X-Men. We discuss Lee (he narrates the pilot), the liberties the show takes with certain characters and powers, Marvel Productions (the animation studio) and wonder why Nightcrawler is so creepy...

Owen Ward joins me to talk about the first attempt at an American remake of cult British show, Peep Show. The main problem is, they forgot the "peep" part of the show and this failure is not filmed in a point of view style. So, it's just a generic mid-2000's sit-com and a messily structured one at that. The pilot, like all that we cover, can be found on Youtube.

Boo! For Halloween week, Tysto and I talk about The Omen, a pilot (loosely) based on the 1976 movie. Yeah, there isn't a lost pilot for a Halloween TV series. Anyway, rather than be about a child being primed to be the Antichrist, this version of The Omen tells the shenanigans of a demon that jumps from person to person, like The Hidden (from the same director) or Wes Craven's Shocker. So join us, won't you, as we tear apart a pilot we both actually kind of like...

Martin returns to talk about the rather bland Marlowe, an updated telling of the classic Raymond Chandler character, Philip Marlowe. Jimmy tries to get through the somewhat complicated plot as quickly as possible... well, they think it's complicated, Martin was ill with the flu and Jimmy wasn't really interested in it. Enjoy!

Tysto and I delve into the odd world of a teenage boy who can summon his hero, Rodney Dangerfield, any time he wants. Much to the comedian's surprise... for thirty seconds, he accepts it pretty quickly. I would say it's just an excuse for Dangerfield to make jokes and while he does, he is actually barely in it. The pilot also has a lot of recognizable faces in it and a theme song that sounds like "Who's Johnny" by El DeBarge...
