#294 Sunny, Spent, and The Turkish Detective 1:15:01

5d ago1:15:01

1:15:01

Most films and TV shows are shot entirely out of sequence, so we went full Method on this week’s podcast and decided to record the entire show out of sequence to see what it’s like (and because we had an appointment with Rapman, but that’s another story). The result? Anarchy. And possibly madness. Still, amidst the carnage, the discussion of a Pilo…

4M ago1:29:00

1:29:00

Sometimes we at the Pilot TV podcast are the very embodiment of calm, dignified professionalism. This is not one of those times.
