Overview

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 by trying to figure out what all the fuss is about with Stranger Things. Georgia is learning the route while Ian has only flown it a couple of times. We're trying to ensure the plane doesn't go upside-down as we discuss:
- The clear 80s nostalgia
- The differences between a first ep of a Netflix release and a legit pilot
- If Benny is the most likeable character in the thing
- Where Georgia might know Winona Ryder from
- Can you appreciate the quality in something while also disliking it?
- We talk some more about that great look down the barrel of a gun elevator shot
- Georgia gives her first impressions of the series, having never seen it before
- Would we ground the Stranger Things pilot or is it Cleared for Takeoff?
