Overview

For a lot of little ones, airplanes look exciting from a distance -- but awfully scary close-up! By following a nervous pair of young siblings on their way to visit their grandmother for the first time, this kid-sensitive program shows children what to expect when they fly the friendly skies, with a guided tour from a real United Airlines pilot. Get up close-and-personal views of the cockpit, the runway, the baggage claim and more.

Your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew continue to try their hands at a little TV Pilot Analysis with the latest offering from Marvel Studios with Moon Knight. Ian and Ethan are both learning the route as the show is less than a week old.  We're jumping between American & British accents as we discuss:

  • Is this a bit too Venom for people?
  • Ethan's lack of geographical knowledge rears its head once again
  • Why does the gift shop manager have hiring power over the tour guides?
  • We gush over both Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke to this point
  • Why doesn't missed steak girl phone Stephen?
  • We discuss British trading laws for Sundays and how it impacts the narrative presented
  • Ian and Ethan both give their first impressions of the series, having never seen it before
  • Would we ground the Moon Knight pilot or is it Cleared for Takeoff?
