The latest episode of the Pilot TV Podcast is here and ready to wrap its cordyceps-like tendrils around your ears, folks. Yes, after a long two year wait, it’s finally time for James Dyer to bang on about The Last Of Us again as Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin's apocalyptic daddy-daughter tale returns for a long-awaited second season. But if apocalyptic Americana with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey isn't your bag then that’s okay, too, because we've also got Charlie Brooker and Jessica Rhodes on the show to balance things out by talking all things Black Mirror Season 7 [37:05 — 50:00 approx.]
Elsewhere, James, Boyd Hilton, and Kay Ribeiro convene in the podbooth for another fun episode in which this week's listener question has the team either naming their favourite nature documentary or devising their own hypothetical favourite nature documentary (there's some confusion.) Then, over on the news front, the team get stuck into another busy week in the world of telly news that's seen Colin From Accounts and The Last Of Us land Season 3 renewals, Adolescence Season 2 plans being whispered about, Mike White getting tangled up in some off-screen The White Lotus drama, and Saturday Night Live inexplicably earn itself a UK spin-off — because of course it has. And over on reviews, aside from forcing Kay to watch more ‘zomzies’ in The Last Of Us Season 2 (on Sky Atlantic), we also head over to Disney+ to watch Denise Gough take part in the playdate from hell in The Stolen Girl and take a slightly surreal look at the world of self-sharpening drill bits (stay with us) in Government Cheese on Apple TV+. And you can watch all this podcasting goodness just below;
