UnCancelled
por Brandon Marsdin & Tom CashTemporada 1
An excellent cameo from Doc Brown himself, Christopher Lloyd, solidifies this as one of the most fun pilots we cover during this season. That is of course where we meet David Burke as Arthur who goes on to become the sidekick to Patrick Warburton's Tick, who is perfectly cast. His large frame and deep voice perfectly embody all aspects of The Tick; from his tall superhero-esque stature; to his aloof yet snappy one-liners that just seem to keep on endlessly flowing! Well, the actors may have gotten a little too up there in age to reprise their roles in any live-action sense. We can still hold out hope for a revamp of the animated series featuring this same cast! Guest: Tom Croucher of Albums This underrated gem of a Netflix series came and went. Drawing comparisons to Freaks and Geeks and those coming-of-age time capsule series of the 90's and early 00’s, it perfectly captures that essence and throws a lid on the bottle. Much like those series, it seems we'll enjoy it for years to come. Scratching our heads at why they never continued. Guest: Michael Kinkley from Storytime w/ Tom & Mike This Battlestar Galactica spin-off has a stacked cast highlighted by Eric Stolz. Extremely high-concept, we actually had to bring in someone who was well-versed with the source material to try to break it down further. This one is guested by Producer Tom Cash, with nerd knowledge to the power of 3 we still all struggled to decipher all that we saw and believe us it was A LOT! Clocking in at around 3 hours of television! Not surprising to any of us that this was a SyFy original with plenty of bad CGI. From the co-creator of the popular Friends comes this sitcom starring a slew of now-famous names including Jon Bernthal (The Punisher), Lizzy Caplan (Masters of Sex), and Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family). This coming out in 2006, the cast was led by Jason Ritter (most famous for being the son of his dad). A strong series opener and deep cast keeps this as a cult favorite nearly 2 decades later. But will it be…UnCancelled? Guest: Jack Moody of The Neighbors Upstairs Once upon a time, back in 2011, H. Jon Benjamin had a van. This show, which aired on Comedy Central, featured a whole slew of alternative comedy guests including David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, Patton Oswalt, Nathan Fielder, Eric Wareheim, Tim Heidecker, Jay Johnston, Andy Richter, Rich Fulcher, and Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett. In it, Jon Benjamin and his crew drive the streets looking for news stories and man-on-street interviews. Listen as we discuss the highlights and low points of this very unique series, and try to decide if it’s worthy of being UnCancelled. Guest: Tom Cash, Producer of UnCancelled A short-lived, brilliant animated sitcom about famous figures in history who are cloned in teenage form as part of government employees' secret experiment. We follow their lives as they weave their way through the trials and tribulations of high school. This series also features modern celebrity cameos such as John Stamos - damn, we love that heartthrobby bastard Uncle Jesse! Far ahead of its time and gone too soon. We await the two-decades-in-the-making second season expected to come out sometime in 2022. Guest: Xavier Liska This NBC series from 2012 had our guest arguing for a reboot on HBO. With a very intriguing concept and a well-executed pilot perhaps a less-restrictive content guideline would have made it all the more successful. Nonetheless, we take it for what it is & review the pilot and finale of the 13 episode show as it appeared before coming to our conclusion. That conclusion being that Jason Isaac has facial expressions akin to Mr. Bean. Guest: Heather Faye-Netflix ABC Family kept airing reruns of 'Gilmore Girls' while being starved for content and decided to source a new show from right under their show. Enlisting Amy Sherman-Palladino to pen this short-lasted series between past-juggernaut Gimore and her current 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' about a group of young ballet dancers and a former Vegas showgirl. You may recognize some familiar faces if you're a fan of Sherman's other works and/or a John Hughes classic. As always Brandon & his guest go into this one blind. As they get further into the episode and do their own research they surprise themselves from confused head-scratching of the show runner to confused head scratching of the network. Guest: Cassie Carl This series, a further attempt by DC to bring its properties to television, is an action-packed show with attractive young leads (Andy Bean of IT: Chapter Two and Crystal Reed of Gotham) that didn't even get the chance to have all its episodes aired before cancellation. It seems that DC was still too insecure with Marvel at the time to give anything a chance. This 2019 series still has all the chances to be brought back from purgatory. A DVD release including the final 3 episodes is barely scratching the surface. Certainly it's not how you bring a series back to life these days. Since Jeff Bezos is practically a lizard, we're still holding out hope Prime video could pick this up where it left off. Guest: Tom Cash, Producer of UnCancelled This 2010 AMC series stars James Badge Dale fresh off The Pacific and a few other familiar faces. It's high-concept and filled with intrigue and mystery for any conspiracy theorizers out there. As always we review the first and last episode and try to figure out where it went wrong. What business AMC had cancelling this in the midst of juggernauts Breaking Bad and Mad Men will leave us reflecting on what could've been as they continue to milk The Walking Dead cash cow.
