There may not be any guests on this week's Pilot TV Podcast, but there's still stars in abundance across the shows James Dyer, Boyd Hilton, and Kay Ribeiro are casting their critical eye over here. For starters, Alan Alda’s The Four Seasons gets a modern glow-up with Steve Carell, Tina Fey, and Colman Domingo on Netflix this week. There's also Season 2 of Rian Johnson’s Sky and Now bound murder mystery Poker Face, which sees Natasha Lyonne's bullshit detecting amateur sleuth Charlie Cale return alongside a stacked guest star line-up — including multiple Cynthia Erivos, John Mulaney, Awkwafina, Taylor Schilling, and Justin Theroux. And last but by no means least, Malpractice returns with more embattled medics on ITV, bringing us a new leading trio comprising Tom Hughes, Selin Hizli, and Zoë Telford.
Elsewhere, back in the podbooth, Kay manages to completely hijack the listener question with a stealthy soap query; the team recoil in horror at an AI Agatha Christie writing course; this week's catch-up on what James, Boyd, and Kay have been watching largely consists of Race Across The World, ITV's new edition of interview series The Assembly, Disney+ doc Flintoff, and — of course — Andor Season 2; and the gang get stuck into the last seven days' worth of TV news, including Shogun Season 2 production updates, the greenlighting of a Kerry Washington starring Desperate Housewives retooling, and The Bear Season 4's release date. All that, plus your usual banter, telly chatter, and more — what more could you want? Oh yeah, you can watch — yes, watch! — this week's ep of the pod below;
