You know the thing and no one picked up your thing

And so you bury the thing

That's not the can't know the thing

Welcome to Dead Pilot Society, the show that takes comedy pilots from A-list writers that were sold and developed at networks and streamers but never produced and gives them the table reads they never got a chance to have.

I'm Andrew Reich, the creator and host of Dead Pilot Society.

I'm recording this intro before I head to Australia for a couple of screenings of my film Born Innocent, the Red Cross story. Those screenings will have already happened by the time you

in Australia, don't worry, you can still see it. You can rent it digitally at red crossfilm.com that's red cross

with two ds and a k or you can pre-order the DVD or two-disc blue ray special edition which is

going to come out at the beginning of april details on that also at red crossfilm.com or you can wait

and it'll be available to rent or buy

on Amazon Prime or to watch on Tooby on a bunch of other streaming platforms, starting at the

beginning of April. So check it out. I think you'll like it. This month, our dead pilot is

Bump by Georgia Pritchett. Georgia is a multiple Emmy and WGA award-winning writer, probably best known for her work on VEEP and Succession.

She's also the author of the book, My Mess is a Bit of a Life, Adventures in Anxiety.

She's someone I've wanted to have on this podcast for a very long time, and I am thrilled

to be able to bring you this recording of Bump, which is about a British couple coming
