Piloting Error

You know what, fuck it! Let's just talk about Star Trek for two hours. Why else would we drudge up this Gene Roddenberry 1974 slog of a pilot about an android searching for his creator? Every single interesting idea has been extracted and put to better use some where else. Yet we go boldly where many have gone before!  Also we welcome special guest ED from the Bro Trek Podcast! https://anchor...

Strange things are done in the midnight sun, but this isn't one of them, in fact it couldn't get more boiler plate and bland than John Denver flying his plane in fake Alaska. And yet, some how, we got lost in his little Dutch Boy turned Golden Retriever charm, as we roamed through the spruce stands, and dined on Oranges, moose burgers, and lamb stew, while he lulls us into submission with songs ab...

In our first international episode, we visit 1997 BBC Four to admire the commercials of Great Britain, while occasionally also talking about an Eddie Izzard penned atrocity that asks the moosical question: "What if some uppity cows started asserting basic human rights?" Fear not, the natural social Darwinian order will eventually put them back in their place. It's a terrible lesson in British poli...

It's a good old fashion Piloting Error Christmas when we watch the very first Nicktoon, and struggle to make sense of a collage of ideas that could only have come from the father of modern animation himself Ralph Bakshi, in this 1988 manic mess. Join us as we learn the true meaning of Christmas: appealing to the vanity of elderly Jewish shop keepers, so they will wear wreaths on their faces.

Chris Elliot bends genres with will power alone, in this absurd comedy experiment that isn't even a real TV Pilot. Luckily, we make the rules, and this is funny. Pure comedic genius is on full display in a whacked out schizophrenic intentional wreck from 1986, which may be the singular most perfect 28 minutes ever committed to celluloid.  

In this extra spooky Halloween special we travel back to the hay day of steampunk, 2012, and watch an abominable Munsters reboot made by two Bryans, and recoil at the sight of Eddie Izzard's old age make-up. 

In our two hour season premiere, we take a long strange trip into the depths of our own minds as we meet the most boring/hot doctor who ever lived, then recoil as he preys on young confused college students with his terrible magic powers in this grainy 1978 snooze fest. 

In the most derailed episode ever, we congratulate ourselves way too much for talking about trash and recording it ten times, while relying on fart sounds for laughs. We also look to the future and tour the vast graveyard of pilots we have yet to tap.  

In this very special Star Spangled Salute to America, we reconnect with our forefathers by watching a terrible 1992 pilot called 1775 and learn none of this is what they intended. 

We watch something good for a change, a 1991 quixotic cult classic starring Adam West and Written by Conan O'Brien and Robert Smigel. 

We peer deep into a possible future where Andy Kaufman robots serve us all, and we don't like what we see. 

It was so ruff getting through this 1990 Cop Dog Double Feature, we were howling for it to end. 

We do a pretty go job acting like we want to talk about this 1991 Robert Goulet groaner. 

We unlock the secrets of this 2008 Paul Reubens alien wreckage

We go to the other side with George RR Martin's bizarre S&M multidimensional adventure show from 1993.

We wade knee deep into this 2003 Comedy Central literal shit show.

In our pilot episode, we take a long hard look at this legendary 1996 John Swartzwelder pilot.
