    <description>The Whatnauts present The Pilot's Club, a Patreon exclusive podcast all about the first episodes of television shows. Join Melissa and Kyle as they watch and discuss a variety of TV pilots that catch their interest for a number of reasons. Some of the pilots may not have made it to air, others may have been particularly expensive to make, maybe the series was changed drastically after filming, or even something else just as interesting.</description>

        <![CDATA[<p>This month on the Pilots Club, we watched the first episode of Cable Girls, a 2017 Netflix original series from Spain. It’s the 1920s in Madrid, and hundreds of women are vying for jobs as switchboard operators at the national telecommunications company, one of the few jobs where a woman can establish a career and independence for herself. Each applicant has a different reason for being there — to escape her family, to please her family, or to secretly infiltrate the company and steal its money.</p>

The sci-fi sitcom follows a robotics engineer and his family as they adopt one of the robots modeled after a young girl.

The effects aren't finished, the music is from Lost, the vibes are just... off. But hey, we get to see a young Pedro Pascal who would eventually be the villain in the Wonder Woman sequel from 2020 entitled Wonder Woman 1984. This is a fascinating one.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>This month we tackle The West Wing, a show often praised for it's writing and quickly paced dialogue. Many pilot episodes lack the confidence or vision of what they will eventually develop into, but The West Wing seems to dodge that entirely. This pilot is a great example of one that truly gives you a glimpse at what the show will be down the road.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>This month we tackle The West Wing, a show often praised for it's writing and quickly paced dialogue. Many pilot episodes lack the confidence or vision of what they will eventually develop into, but The West Wing seems to dodge that entirely. This pilot is a great example of one that truly gives you a glimpse at what the show will be down the road.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>This month we take a look at the pilot episode of an anime called Yasuke. Loosely based on a real person of the same name, Yasuke follows an African warrior who served under the Japanese Daimyo in the Sengoku period. Now, 20 years later, the retired swordsman finds himself helping a woman and her sick child, who has magical powers, to go see a special doctor. The task of protecting this sick child however, is pulling Yasuke back into his old ways.</p>

        <![CDATA[<p>Episode 1. The Whatnauts present the Pilot's Club, a podcast all about the pilot episodes of television shows and the many reasons why they may or may not be worth a watch. Every month we pick a different pilot episode to watch and then discuss it here on our show. We release these episodes first and foremost to our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/thewhatnauts">Patreon supporters</a> on our $3 tier and above. Then, two years later we release these episodes to a wider audience on a public feed. So if you wanna catch up on two years worth of episodes, <a href="https://www.patreon.com/thewhatnauts">Patreon</a> is the place to do that.</p><p>That said, our first episode focused on Eureka, a 2006 Sci-fi drama that ran for five seasons. It follows Jack Carter, a Deputy United States Marshall, and his daughter as they stumble into the town of Eureka, where most residents are scientific geniuses and many strange experiments are being conducted all over tow. Jack ends up becoming the new sheriff of the town as the oddities of Eureka soon become a charming familiarity. </p>
