Summary

Jessica Chastain and Nnamdi Asomugha are our guests on this week’s show, chatting The Savant on Apple TV+ (47:34-57:53) — a show that unfortunately you can’t watch, the reasons for which we get into in some detail elsewhere on the podcast. Meanwhile, Tom Blyth stops by to talk Billy The Kid (1:14:38-1:28:46), which you CAN see on MGM+. Also, we try to discover why people want to hide GLen Powell’s face in Chad Powers on Disney+ (1:28:46), see what Jodie Whittaker and Suranne Jones are up to over on ITV with Frauds (1:37:32), and get mental health advice from an unlikely source on BBC1 with How Are You? It’s Alan (Partridge) (1:47:29.

In tonight’s production of Pilot TV, the role of Kay Ribeiro will be played by Stephanie Seelan.

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+!
