The Pilot's Club

Episode 29. This month we investigate the pilot of the long-running Amazon Prime detective series, Bosch. We discuss the kaleidoscopic opening credits, using courtroom interrogation to deliver exposition, the requisite quirky forensics guy in a tropical shirt, and how "Harry Bosch" isn't as cool of a name as "Titus Welliver."

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.
