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.

    BONUS Piloting Error Theater Presents - Scuba Sleuth

    BONUS Piloting Error Theater Presents - Scuba Sleuth

    We recently re-listened to the Acting Sheriff episode and remembered how much we wanted to see the movie within a pilot: Scuba Sleuth. Since that's never going to happen, we did the next best thing. We created our own version and rather than waste time with a plot, we skipped right to the climactic ending. So please, sit back and enjoy Robert Goulet, as Brent McCord, as SCUBA SLEUTH!

    Episode 30 - Loose Ends #3

    Episode 30 - Loose Ends #3

    It's our 30th episode, and the errors and omissions were piling up, so once again we are looking back at old episodes and talking about things we missed, and mistakes we so confidently spewed. We also take a look into the future, and episodes we want to do in our 4th season, assuming we manage to continue making a podcast. Lastly we spin the Wheel of Pilots (https://wheelofnames.com/nyz-avm) and you can too! If we make 30 more podcasts, then this is the middle episode!

    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.
