Come with us as we crash full force into abandoned media, so strange and bizarre, seen by millions and forgotten like some terrible fever dream fit during a childhood ailment. Not dead, but still alive though emaciated by the ravages of time and tape decay, in the purgatory of internet video sharing sites. We don't just review, we take you through every confounding moment to try and piece together the mysteries that are failed television pilots.

    Episode 26 - She's With Me (Rerun!)

    Episode 26 - She's With Me (Rerun!)

    We could have watched a probably cooler show about teeny tiny police officers, but instead we watched a dumb sitcom about what women think and feel. Of coarse, no one bothered to consult any women about what they think and feel, and it's pretty obvious. Plus all the hot bidet takes you can stand! Joining us is author of multiple books including the new EXCRMNTMNTN, Andrew Hilbert (https://perpetualpublishing.com/2023/03/07/xcrmntmntn-a-body-horror-novella-about-art-and-poop-is-out-now-through-ghoulish-books/) and editor-in-chief of Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing and the assistant editor of Dark Moon Digest and proprietor of Ghoulish Books Bookstore, Max Booth (https://www.instagram.com/ghoulishbookstore/)

    Episode 13 - Action Family (Rerun!)

    Episode 13 - Action Family (Rerun!)

    Sometimes when we are reviewing pilots we stumble on fake pilots. Things that are listed as pilots on the internet and then they turn out to be Cinemax Comedy Experiments. What do you do? Do you stay true to to the format that you've chosen, no of coarse who the hell cares! Especially when we are talking about Chris Elliot, and the thing is absolutely the most incredible inventive hilarious over the top masterpiece ever made! Sometimes he's a hard-boiled detective, and sometimes he's a wacky sitcom dad, and you can tell based on the film quality. We loved every minute of it! So much so that we want to bring it to the attention of our listeners again! Dominic and Breyanne join us as we rewatch the greatest father son fist fight involving a hot dog of all time! From 1986, it's Action Family!

    Episode 5 - Acting Sheriff (Rerun!)

    Episode 5 - Acting Sheriff (Rerun!)

    It's not your imagination, this is a rerun, but judging by the listener count you've probably never heard it before! We are traveling back to 2021 to travel back to 1991 and revisit this terrible idea for TV show where a stupid idiot with a great singing voice becomes a sheriff. This is an early episode so no game, no characters, hell we barely have a format and its only gotten worse since! Joining us was our good friend Chris Carera! Can you believe we made him watch this and he still comes on our podcast regularly?

    Episode 29 - LA Takedown

    Episode 29 - LA Takedown

    Have you ever seen the movie Heat? Did you know that it was once a failed TV Pilot. Well, not Heat but a show called LA Crimewave... or is it Made in LA... or just Crimewave?... I don't know... We watched something called LA Takedown from 1988 that seems eerily like Heat, but with a TV Budget, and more late 80s tropes than you can shove into a freshly laundered tan suit. Joining us on this poorly executed heist, from the Pumpkin Spice Podcast (https://open.spotify.com/show/3ZAQrXbbyTyzMUgrh2PRfx), it's Rob and Graham. There is only one way this can end, and it's not sitting on a tarmac holding hands.

    Episode 28 - Unbeleivables

    Episode 28 - Unbeleivables

    Have you ever said to yourself, "There is too much violence and fantasy in this super hero show. I want to see them just be old, and sit around, and wallow in failure." Good news is, Unbeleiveables is for you! Bad news is, there is only one episode, it's 23 minutes long, and there is next to no information about it anywhere. Don't worry! Triple Dipper Jason(https://www.instagram.com/jason_chapman_b/) is here again to help us figure out how they could possibly screw up a pairing like Steve Carell and Tim Curry? It's not funny! Also Corbin Bernsen is here too... and Mike Starr! Yeah... he plays a washed up super hero named poet... his power is that he can't stop rhyming. What the hell was going on in 1999? Badly Drawn Hamster, call us!

    Episode 27 - Genesis II

    Episode 27 - Genesis II

    In our second outing into gene Roddenberry failed tv projects we journey to 2133 to stroll around the futuristic community colleges of  Tuscon Arizona, watch people fight over a human popsicle in the horniest ways possible, and then they wave around bejeweled sex toys in a futile attempt to enslave Ted Cassidy and his wig wearing friends. Joining us to admire these breath taking matte paintings, from the improv duo Kenny/Roger (https://linktr.ee/kennyrogersimprov) it’s Kenny Madison(https://www.trekwarspod.com/) and Heidi Rogers. Did we mention there is an extremely cool cave train!
