Episode #006 - Amazon Pilot Season
We decided to record a bonus episode this week, spotlighting not one, but THREE new pilots featured in Amazon's Pilot Season event. Viewers are encouraged to watch Jean-Claude Van Johnson, I Love Dick, and The Tick, and then complete a survey which will decide which pilot will continue as an original series.

Episode #005 - Orange is the New Black
This week's pilot is Orange is the New Black from Netflix. Think "Sex and the City" meets "Oz". Well, that's not exactly accurate, but you get the idea; women in prison. Now, go and listen, newbie!
