The Pilot's Club

Episode 27. This month, we watched the first episode of the current hit TV miniseries Shogun. We ask if the show gives you too many plotlines too early, and discuss the multiple faiths and factions at play, pirate voice, and location-based cinematography.

What is The Pilot's Club?

The Whatnauts present The Pilot's Club, a Patreon exclusive podcast all about the first episodes of television shows. Join Melissa and Kyle as they watch and discuss a variety of TV pilots that catch their interest for a number of reasons. Some of the pilots may not have made it to air, others may have been particularly expensive to make, maybe the series was changed drastically after filming, or even something else just as interesting.
