    The O.C.

    Which pilot should we review next? Contact Dando and let him know at dando@fourfingerdiscount.com.au We thought we'd take a trip to California this week with the pilot of The O.C. Honestly, this was a LOT of fun. The series is just such a time capsule, with a pretty impressive story amongst a barrage of dated jokes and terrible acting. Sandy Cohen however, in the words of Guy Davis...WHAT A LORD! Support the Four Finger Discount Network for EARLY & AD-FREE access to every show we produce, as well as 100 hours of exclusive content!

    "Good pod and bad pod left for the day. I'm a different kind of pod." That's right, this week we're reviewing the kick-arse pilot episode of "The Shield", one of the greatest television shows of all time!So much to love, the oozing charisma of Michael Chiklis, the cut-throat directing, not to mention THAT ending.

    The X-Files

    Do you want to believe? Well you should, 'cause the pod...is out there! That's right, our pod where we go back and revisit the incredible pilot episode of 'The X-Files'! We're not quite sure there's much more that this episode could've delivered. The only thing missing was the classic theme song (don't worry, it's included here). Other than, a rather flawless first entry into the paranormal world of Mulder and Scully.What were your thoughts on the pilot? Which pilot should we review next?

  7. Disenchantment

    Disenchantment

    Safe to say, we were both left rather disenchanted after watching this pilot. As life-long Simpsons and Futurama fans, the hype going into this series was immense, for Dando in particular, which is what made this all the more disappointing. As Dando puts it, "every character is either an idiot, cruel or unhappy". Granted, the show most likely improves going forward, however as an introductory pilot episode, this didn't exactly leave us wanting more. What are your thoughts on the "Disenchantment" pilot?

    The Golden Girls

    Thank-you for being a listener! Honestly, this is probably the most excited Dando has been to review an episode in a long time. The Golden Girls just makes you smile the second you think about it. Not to mention it has the greatest theme song of all-time. Here we discuss the pilot, which sees Rose, Dorothy and Sophia move in with Blanche, setting up one of the most beloved ensembles in television history. Which pilot should we review next?

    Lost

    This week we crash-landed on a strange island and checked out the pilot episode of "Lost"! Amazingly, Dando had not only never seen an episode, however he has also avoided spoilers for 20 years. Guy meanwhile was a huge fan of the show, in particular this pilot episode. We discuss the incredible action, plot threads, as well as the production behind what was the most expensive TV pilot to date. NOTE: we only watched part one of the pilot. What are YOUR thoughts on the pilot? Does it do a decent enough job of hooking you in as a viewer? What would you add/change? Which pilot should we review next?

    The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air

    Now this is a podcast all about how...Guy and Dando rewatched the pilot of 'The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air'! Ah 1990, what a time to be alive. This series was used as a launch(pod) for Smith's career and he was more than ready for take-off. We discuss the pros/cons of the premise, it's cultural impact, whether Carlton was a "white guy", THAT theme song and more! What are YOUR thoughts on the pilot?

    Buffy The Vampire Slayer

    This week we visited Sunnydale High School and checked out the pilot episode of Josh Whedon's smash-hit series 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', titled "Welcome to the Hellmouth". Despite this originally airing as a two-parter, we only review the first episode, which ended on a classic "to be continued". WHAT A HOOK! We also dive into the original Buffy film from 1992, the casting choices of Buffy's friends Xander and Willow, the music (including an amazing theme song from Nerf Herder), the vampire make-up design, the pros/cons of the dialogue and more.
