Summary

Not only do we have both Karl Urban and Jensen Ackles on this week’s show to talk about the new season of The Boys, but Empire’s Helen O’Hara makes her Pilot TV debut, finally getting the chance to lay her hands on one of the stars of Supernatural (figuratively speaking). Then, we nearly fail to get Obi-Wan Kenobi on the show but, thanks to some post-production tomfoolery, we were able to do a last minute drop-in to cover off all things Star Wars, and that was in addition to Danny Boyle’s Sex Pistols biopic, Pistol and sci-fi adaptation The Midwich Cuckoos on Sky. All that and Beth (for she has returned) Boyd and James mull over some of the best shows that have filmed in their respective home towns.

I'm James Dyer and welcome to the Pilot TV Podcast. You're a weekly guide to every show

that matters. We're doing some recording gymnastics on the podcast this week in order to bring

0:55.0

our Obi-Wan review as this one's not being made available to press in advance, but

1:00.0

fear not, we have sorted this out because dedicated professionals that we are, we're going

1:03.5

to watch it as soon as it drops on Friday and then put that in here before the episode

1:08.3

goes up. So that's probably more information than you really need it because it's going

out on Monday.

Are you going to do one of those slightly creepy inserts that Chris

Stewart does when he goes, hi, I'm just going to put this on this bit of the new thing into

1:21.5

the podcast as if I mentioned the fact that I'm putting it in rather than just editing

1:25.1
