TV Pilot’s License

March Madness got you hyped? Us too! But instead of brackets, we're breaking down Netflix's 'Running Point' with Kate Hudson. Think 'basketball drama' meets 'did Chet Hanks just...act?' Yep, we went there. Join Max and Geoff as they slam dunk into the latest Netflix hit, exploring all the crucial questions: Could we run a professional sports team? (Spoiler: Probably not.) Is Justin Theroux to pretty for comedy? And most importantly, does this show deserve a 'TV Pilot's License'?#runningpoint #netflix #comedy #podcast #katehudson #chethanks #netflix #tvreview

It’s your one shining moment, listeners! What does that mean? It’s somehow our March Madness Spectacular with PARADISE! The new Dan Fogelman (This is Us, Crazy Stupid Love) non-linear drama on Hulu that everyone’s talking about.

Sterling K Brown is the Secret Service head to James Marsden’s outgoing president. After Marsden is discovered dead, Brown has to find out who did it… with a massive twist. Grab your snacks and call in sick to work, you’re going to want to solve this mystery.

There is a small town of 5000 people in midwestern Ontario called Letterkenny. These are their problems.

Welcome to Letterkenny, a town that welcomes anyone as long as they like chorin’ or scoring’, druggin’ or sluggin’, and tweakin’ for the weekend. Come see the cult TV hit that began from a small YouTube video series in 2013. A show that encapsulates a language somehow foreign and familiar, just like how we all feel about Canada in general. We’ve got all your favorites, Jared Keeso, Michelle Myles, Nathan Dales, Jacob Tierney, Tyler Johnston, Dylan Playfair, Andrew Herr, K. Trevor Wilson and Lisa Condrington.

Look, it’s hard to be a teenager in any time of year. You have to worry about classes, dating, friendships, parents, parties, college applications, sports, getting to those sports, building fires, filtering ground water, hunting, group dynamics, maybe even cannibalism, surviving the canadian wilderness, coming back and keeping dark secrets from your friends, family, journalists and after all that, what are you going to wear to prom?

It’s Yellowjackets, folks! The hit showtime original series about a Varsity Girls Soccer team who crash lands in the snowy woods and has to survive together… or in spite of each other? OOooooOOOOoo

Join us as we talk about jocks, nerds, goths, weirdos, and EATING EACH OTHER FOR SURVIVAL.

It’s been an Ally Ordeal, but it’s my job on the podcast and we made an Ally McDeal. This pilot was pretty Ally Surreal, excellent Ally Reveals, a few characters really Ally McSteal the show.
