So, What‘s the Problem? episodes

  • Bonus: Madness-The Pilot (1984)
    In this special bonus episode, Jim and I discuss the short pilot presentation Madness: The Pilot. A pitch reel written by Ben Elton and Richard Curtis to try to get the British band Madness their own comedy show. It failed, obviously. The pilot is only 12 minutes long, so bonus episode it is! Enjoy! Contains strong language.

  • The City (1977)
    Tysto returns to talk about something we both actually enjoyed! It stars Robert Forster, Don Johnson and a really rather good Mark Hamill as the bad guy in this cop thriller. It's a 70s show so it's a tad dated at times and it may not replace Tysto's beloved Bunco but we liked it. I'm glad, we can't hate them all! Closing music-1975 by Josh Kirsch/Media Right Productions.

  • Bonus Outtakes Episode
    As a short bonus episode, please enjoy these deleted conversations from various past episodes. Highlights include- me messing up R Lee Ermey's name, barking dogs, meowing cats, falling Pop Vinyls and Tysto proving me wrong. Contains spoilers for the TV show Lost.

  • Our 30s (2006)
    Jen is back to talk about the shockingly not awful sit-com, Our 30s. We talk about the impressive cast (Rashida Jones, Rachel Blanchard and Peter Serafinowicz, whose name I mispronounce, throughout) and how the show turns sit-com tropes on their heads. We also discuss the show Friends and my love for Jen's husband, Dylan. Contains strong language.

  • Bonus: Alligator Point (remastered)
    For this bonus episode, I decided to re-visit an early one that Tysto and I recorded about the Nathan Fillion starring Alligator Point. I have fixed audio issues to the best of my abilities and basically just re-edited the entire thing. There is stuff here that was not in the original cut but also stuff that was but no longer is. It is shorter and leaner and now also includes sound clips of the pilot in question. I just messed about with it, to be honest. Enjoy.

  • Area 57 (2007)
    Tysto is back to talk about the s(h)it-com Area 57 about a bastard alien that has been locked up in a top secret government facility for 40 years and the wacky humans he torments. This thing never aired, so we talk about the temp music track, the rather impressive (and totally wasted) cast and just how badly written and directed it is. And this is from the director of Galaxy Quest!

  • (Bonus) The Jimmy & Jen Show
    Yes, it's a bonus episode made up of lengthy tangents taken out of Jen and I's episode on Making It Legal! We cover topics such as the Big Bang Theory finale (no spoilers), Game of Thrones season 8 (big spoilers), Robert Pattinson as Batman, our luck picking crappy pilots, Marvel's Runaways (mild show and comic spoilers) and how TV shows are evolving. We tangent a looooooot. Contains swears. End music- Royale by Josh Lippi & the Overtimers.

  • Making It Legal (2007)
    Jen from the Pilot Inspector's podcast returns to chat about the problematic 2007 sit-com, Making It Legal. We talk about the likeable cast, the writers and a certain character/punchline that really should not have been a thing in 2007. As usual, Jen finds things to like, which is great but, boy, there is a lot to dislike. Contains strong language

  • Steel Justice (1992)
    Jim Cliff from the Fallacious Trump Podcast returns to chat about the really rather weird feature length pilot, Steel Justice AKA Robosaurus. It's a Blade Runner wannabe but with a giant metal dinosaur inhabited by the soul of a cop's murdered son. There is also a time travelling magic immortal monk for added whattheheckery. Enjoy!

  • Young MacGyver (2003)
    Jen from the Pilot Inspectors podcast returns to talk to me about the first time that they tried to make a new MacGyver series. It failed but it's lead is currently on his 15th season of a popular TV show, so it's all good. We talk the original (kind of), the cast and marvel at the sheer blandness of it all.It is so dull, Jen zones out for a bit. She talks so little after a while that I have actually kept in a long tangent about Fifty Shades of Grey. Enjoy! This was recorded before news of Supernatural's cancellation was announced.
