This week on the Pilot TV Podcast we’re heading into hard sci-fi territory, so buckle up! Yes, the arrival of Foundation Season 3 on Apple TV+ brings with it a serious dose of Jamesplaining as resident speculative fiction fanatic James Dyer not only sits down for a nerdy natter with series star Jared Harris about psychohistory, four-dimensional objects, and cloning [32:00 — 46:46 approx.], but also treats co-hosts Boyd Hilton and Kay Ribeiro to an extensive primer on Apple’s ambitious, millennia spanning adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s famously headspinning books.
Elsewhere, James, Kay, and Boyd get stuck into a listener question that has them reflecting on shows that didn’t get the awards their acclaim warranted (*cough* Better Call Saul *cough*); dig into this week’s telly news, including Neil Druckmann’s The Last Of Us exit (Lexit, anyone?), Invasion‘s Season 3 renewal on Apple TV+ and The Bear‘s Season 5 renewal over on Disney+, and Jennifer Aniston’s I’m Glad My Mom Died casting; and dive into a double-header of reviews as we get back into the Boschiverse with Ballard on Prime Video and see if throwback ‘90s sitcoms still hold up with Shifting Gears on Disney+. What a treat!
