Cleared For Takeoff? - Schitt's Creek

Your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew continue to try their hands at a little TV Pilot Analysis and we're taking the doors off in this episode as we leave the big city for the titular hamlet of Schitt's Creek. We've got Ian in the pilot's chair and Ethan is on training duty this week as co-pilot as he's never seen the show.  Relocate with us as we discuss:

• The microscopic legacy of Canadian original programming
• What is it about Eugene Levy that is so likeable - and stylish?
• Some of the real-world locations of the Schitt's Creek set
• Who was the original Alexis and why didn't she make it to air?
• Who's the only American among the principal cast?
• Who turned down the series at first only to have second thoughts and agree to sign on
• Ethan gives his fire impressions of the series, having never seen it before
• Would we ground the Schitts Creek pilot or is it cleared for takeoff?
