TV Pilot’s License

Aye, it’s a fine day for a new TVPL! We’re traveling to the Scottish Highlands to look back on the pilot of Outlander, the fantasy romance series that will have you asking yourself “could I pull off a kilt?” This smash hit from Starz comes to us from the creator of Battlestar Galactica and the director of Rounders, the pairing we never knew we needed. It’s an episode full of magic, mystery and way more Sex and the City references than we expected to make. Go dance in the moonlight this Samhain and be sure to subscribe to TV Pilot’s License for more!

Welcome to Winter Olympics week two here at TVPL! Week one we took you in the steamy world of professional hockey, this week we’ve got the dark side of figure skating with Netflix’s Spinning Out!

The show stars Maya Scodelario as Kat Baker, a young yet slightly over-the-hill competitive figure skater whose journey to the top is cut short with slight failures and riddled with self harm. Her younger sister Serena, (Willow Shields) is slated to overshadow her in the figure skating world, and their tiger mom Carol (January Jones) whose own figure skating dreams were dashed by getting pregnant with Kat.

Can Kat hold together her family, money woes, and her re-ignite her passion for skating before it’s too late?

Ron Howard wrote this is episode description! Thanks Ron!

In the pirate studios Geoff, Mike, and Rich sat to discuss their thoughts on the 2003 sitcom Arrested Development. The story of the Bluth Family, Michel, GOB, Lindsey, and Buster, their parents Lucille and George, and their kids George Michael and Maeby. A tale of wealth and loss, trust and mistrust, about land and sea. But don’t take my, Ron Howard’s, word on it listen to the boys. It’ll be fun.

So grab some 3d Doritos, some Mountain Dew Livewire and fire up The Pirate Bay. Let’s watching some Arrested Development how it was meant to be seen. On a tiny buffering screen.

Hugs and Kisses, Ron Howard. The director.

Arrested Development stars Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Portia Di Rossi, Jessica Walter, David Cross, Alia Shawkat, Michael Cera, Tony Hale, and Jeffrey Tambor.

What a treat for the start of the year! We held Carl Tart’s eyes open Clockwork Orange style and forced him to watch Clipped! The dramatized retelling of the Donald and Shelly Sterling scandal that resulted in him being forced to sell the LA Clippers. Is Carl arguably the most notable Clippers fan in the world? Yes. Did we make him watch potentially the worst thing to happen in his entire fandom of the franchise… welp now that I’m writing it… also yes. But was he a good sport about it? Absolutely!

We chat Clippers history, his Carl’s personal fandom story, sports scandals and how they are depicted in general, if V. Stiviano is a sports folk hero, the performances, Lavar Burton and of course… the casting of the Clippers players.

Catch Carl as a writer on Saturday Night Live (am I spelling that right? We haven’t heard of it) and also as a cohost of Hollywood Handbook, XoXo Bada Bings Sopranos Podcast and of course on stage at UCB in NYC and LA!
