Drop The Pilot Podcast (Page 1 of 2)

Well this is promising as fuck.

Gotta say, I've loved being on the two that I was on so far. Always great fun, you guys are in for a treat.

Gotta love that Zarb ban!

I'm loving this.

I'd hop on for an episode but;
a) you and I don't get along that great
b) I can't think of a show I've watched the unaired pilot to

Great podcast though!

Oh cool!

Episode five is alive! John Pavlich joins me to chat about Fearless, an action drama pilot that was due to air on the now defunct WB network. The show tells the story of Gaia, a young FBI agent who was born without the fear gene. It was based on a book series from the author of Sweet Valley High, so make of that what you will.

I link to the pilot on Youtube on my site. 

We are disgusting.

Start at 3:04.

Episode 6 is up. Tysto/Zarban joins me again to talk about Evel Knievel (1974). A pilot that is not very good but has a great theme tune. It stars a young Sam Elliot, with brown hair and minus a mustache as the titular stunt performer once played by George Hamilton and later played by himself. I am actually proud of this, I think it's a fun one. The show will be released every second Wednesday from now on, unless I get bored and edit early.

Oh, before I forget, I am looking for guests for this thing. I want to have a bigger variety of voices as I have access to around 80+ pilots of various lengths and genres. Private Message me or just post here, whatever, it's all good.

There are loads of them on Youtube and Dailymotion and I have a list of those in a Google Docs document. Anyone who wants to guest can let me know and I will send them the list for them to peruse. Tell me which ones you are interested in and I'll let you know. 

Hey, man, I appreciate the input, cheers. The thing is, my podcast isn't all that complicated. You look at the list, see what interests you, either the synopsis or the cast, I link it to you to watch and we talk about it on Skype. The list has a synopsis and members of the cast, sometimes even a director if they are of some note (like Wes Craven or Ron Howard). We discuss if the show was rightfully pulled, speculate what it could have been if it continued, the cast, the writing, directing, whatever comes up, really. What the pilot is about or its backstory doesn't really matter, all I ask is if you like watching TV shows and want to discuss one that didn't make it, that's it, really. The conversation after watching the show just comes organically. Apart from the pages of notes I take 

There are sit-coms, dramas, thrillers, horror shows, animated comedies, musicals (well, one), US shows based on UK ones, pilots based on movies, they are 20 minutes, 40 minutes or feature length. There is loads of variety.  Anyone who wants to join in, listen to an episode or two, I recommend the Evel Knievel one as that (or Fearless) are what the format is going to be going on. The others, I was still learning. And if you don't want to join in, that's groovy too, no harm done
