  1. The Last Of Us, The Stolen Girl, and Government Cheese. With guests Charlie Brooker and Jessica Rhodes

    The Last Of Us, The Stolen Girl, and Government Cheese. With guests Charlie Brooker and Jessica Rhodes

    Yes, it’s time for James to bang on about The Last Of Us again (sorry) but that’s okay, because we have Charlie Brooker and Jessica Rhodes on the show to balance things out by talking Black Mirror Season 7 (37:05). Aside from forcing Kay to watch more ‘zomzies’ in The Last Of Us (on Sky Atlantic), we also head over to Disney+ to watch Denise Gough take part in the playdate from hell in The Stolen Girl (1:28:19) and take a slightly surreal look at the world of self-sharpening drill bits (stay with us) in Government Cheese on Apple TV+ (1:39:46). Also, we’d love to get your feedback on the podcast so do head over and fill out our little questionnaire here: https://tinyurl.com/ms9u3z22 (Episode 332) Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide. If you want to avoid this and would like the podcast entirely ad-free (as well as 17 hours early, with a second weekly show and spoiler specials) then sign up to Pilot+!

    PLUS Good American Family and The White Lotus episode 7 spoiler discussion

    It’s all over! Mike White’s triumphant third season of The White Lotus bowed out with a storming feature-length finale and we thrash it all out in a similarly lengthy Plus episode. But that’s not all, because we also review Disney+ adoption drama Good American Family and pull all the latest missives out of the Pilot postbag.

    Your Friends & Neighbours, Reunion, and Hacks. With guest Jon Hamm

    Our friend and neighbour Jon Hamm is this week’s guest (36:36)as we chat burglary and anti-heroes for Apple’s new comedy drama (1:06:10). Plus we take a look at the BBC’s Deaf-centric revenge drama Reunion (1:27:15), and have the novel experience of being able to watch a series of Hacks (1:17:12)when it actually comes out instead of months down the line. Hooray! (Episode 331) Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide.

  4. PLUS Pulse, and The White Lotus episode 7 spoiler discussion

    APR 2 • SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

    PLUS Pulse, and The White Lotus episode 7 spoiler discussion

    We have our fingers on the pulse this week, or rather Pulse, Netflix’s foray into the world of medical procedurals, prompting a broader dissection of hospital-based drama as a whole. Plus postbag shenanigans abound and we sit down to thrash out our feelings around the penultimate episode of The White Lotus — it’s all coming to a head now!

    Tom Hardy is with us this week (18:08), going full gangster for MobLand, and Kaitlin Olson also stops by to chat High Potential and Hacks (59:37). Elsewhere, we accompany Michelle Williams on a voyage of sexual discovery in Dying For Sex on Disney+ (1:26:37), head Down Under with Sally Philips and Ben Miller in Austin on BBC1 (1:10:30), and embark on a mission for Satan with Kevin Bacon in The Bondsman on Paramount+ (1:17:56). (Episode 330) Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide.

  6. PLUS MobLand and The White Lotus episode 6 spoiler discussion

    MAR 27 • SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

    PLUS MobLand and The White Lotus episode 6 spoiler discussion

    Warning! C-bombs abound in this week’s show as we’re discussing Guy Ritchie-produced gangster series MobLand on Paramount+, so if you’re easily offended, do bring smelling salts. When not showering the show in expletives, we’re chatting incestuous goings on in the latest episode of The White Lotus. This week’s show really does earn that explicit rating!

Plus, we discuss the finer points of tree surgery (don’t watch and chop, kids) as well as take a look at Mythic Quest anthology spin-off Side Quest (1:05:38), as well as Liverpudlian crime drama This City Is Ours with Sean Bean on BBC1 (1:12:50).
