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.

Forget the past; this is your future - Your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew continue to try their hands at a little TV Pilot Analysis and we're heading all the way back to 2021 (so not that far back) and yet we're also in the 1950s as we tackle the cultural juggernaut that is WandaVision. Why not fly with us this week as we discuss:

  • When is a pilot not a pilot?
  • Is this enjoyable if you haven't watched any MCU films?  
  • Is this episode just a love letter to 1950s sitcoms
  • We gush over the casting of the new characters
  • Are you able to enjoy this if you don't dive into the Easter Eggs?
  • Does a guaranteed series run take away the enjoyment of a pilot episode?
  • Ian gives some predictions for the rest of the series as the only member not to have seen episode 2 yet
  • Would we ground the WandaVision pilot or is it cleared for takeoff?
