The Pilot's Club

Episode 31. This month's pilot is Homecoming, the Prime show directed by Sam Esmail from Mr. Robot, based on the audio fiction podcast of the same name. We discussed the changes in aspect ratios, feeling the Florida humidity, and the era when every audio drama had to include a character turning on a recorder so you knew why the podcast was a podcast and not another medium.

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.
