Trial by Pilot

We sing the praises of Mel and Sue while reviewing the pilot to Hitmen, a new British comedy on Peacock. We also discuss recent shows we've finished, delve into McFlurry flavors, and make a Bakewell tart...because, duh, we make one every week.

What cosmic horrors await within this podcast?! Oh, it's just our review of the pilot to Lovecraft Country, a new HBO series based on the 2016 novel.

Time to dean-load a new episode! We're talking Community! After discussing the pilot, we bask in the glow of Abed and the rest of the study group, going over all-time favorite moments, episodes, Dean outfits, and more.

We review the pilot to In My Skin, the award-winning British series now on Hulu. We also play a high stakes game of prioritizing our watch list, plus Bill's dad becomes Trial by Pilot CFO.

We review the pilot to Intelligence, a new British comedy on Peacock starring David Schwimmer. We also do a deep dive on the Scream franchise hairstyles of Courtney Cox, plus someone approaches us on the street to ask a very specific question.

We take a look at the pilot to The Capture, a new British crime series on Peacock. We also introduce not one but TWO new segments! TWO!

We take a look at the pilot to Brave New World, an NBC Peacock original based on the 1932 dystopian sci-fi novel. We also talk about Quibi's continued failure and Elizabeth approaches a random passerby.

We invite a real, live baby-sitter to help us discuss the pilot to the new Netflix series based on The Baby-Sitters Club books. We briefly revisit Warrior Nun, Bill haggles on a price for baby-sitting, and no, we haven't seen Hamilton yet.

Coming to you live from the way way back of the station wagon, it's time for another recap episode! We take a look at our last batch of pilots, play a little canceled/renewed, and discuss why anthology series usually stink. We also endlessly praise and then endlessly criticize Community, and Bill swoons over Dark (again).

We discuss the pilot to Warrior Nun, a new Netflix series based on the comics. We'll also take a thoughtful look at some deep philosophical questions. Can angels die? Why is Saturday CCD a thing? And why can't people properly light a Christmas tree?
