We've a double guest doozy of an episode in store for you on the Pilot TV Podcast this week, folks. First up, British director extraordinaire Ben Wheatley drops by to talk about his satirical black comedy Generation Z, which made its debut on Channel 4 on the weekend, with our very own Boyd Hilton [24:58 — 42:50 approx]. Then, British actor extraordinaire Richard E. Grant joins us on the show to talk about Armando Iannucci and Sam Mendes' Sky superhero satire series The Franchise, which we reviewed on the pod last week, once again with the venerable Mr Hilton [1:04:24 — 1:20:35 approx].
Back in the pod booth, there’s talk of hanging out at Robbie Williams’ house, getting the bejesus scared out of us by Sean Harris, broken penises, interviews derailed by football, and an awful lot of *checks notes* zomzies. Elsewhere, this week's listener question sees us fan casting Warner Bros. new Harry Potter show, whilst over on the news front the team get stuck into Amazon's God Of War showrunner announcement, Apple's first-look pictures of Leo Woodall starrer Prime Target, Mike Flanagan's Carrie series plans, and much more besides. Then, finishing us off in the reviews section, James, Kay, and Boyd get stuck into the aforementioned undead fest Generation Z [1:17:01 approx], head off to France to battle terrorists in Paris Has Fallen on Prime [1:25:51 approx], and we take a harrowing look at life with a serial killer alongside Anna Maxwell Martin in Until I Kill You on ITV [1:35:29 approx].
