episodic In Pilot School, you get to sit in on the messy, hilarious and [a third thing because rule of threes -- see you're already learning] process of breaking a TV comedy pilot. 

Join your hosts/teachers Nicole, Gillian & Jessica as they start from nothing and, episode by episode, outline and write a fully realized pilot script! 

Expect: a ton of jokes, a really upsetting number of references to Pauly Shore, and a front-row seat to an awe-inspiring friendship. Because you know what they say: #friendshipsells

If you’re still waiting for us to talk about how to fly an airplane, we’ve already told you, this isn’t about those types of pilots. 

The things we do talk about this episode are:

  • Mr. Bubz actor availability.
  • Can killing cows be therapeutic? 
  • The third Property Brother.
  • Was Gillian almost scammed?
  • Nicole’s hangover.
  • Is zen-buddhist-alcoholic a thing?

And as always we wonder, “Are we just writing Bojack Horseman?”

Now quit horsin’ around and listen to episode 3!

  • Are you more likely to show your tits in public if they’re fantastic?
  • Do turtles have tits? 
  • What actually happens in the movie Mamma Mia? 
  • Could Jessica date Bradley Whitford with his consent?
  • Can Antoni from Queer Eye act and does it matter? 

Plus we break rule number one of pilot writing: TWO J NAMES.

This is a can’t miss.
