A podcast about TV pilots that became nothin'. Those that were deemed unworthy of going to series and were "dropped" by the network before a second episode was made. Hosted by Jimmy Brown and guests. This show is not affiliated with the singer, Joan Armatrading, I just liked the title of the song.

The Labyrinth (1986) Problem
We're back, happy 2024! Jimmy and Jen ring in the New Year with a discussion on a childhood fave of the former. Is it a whimsical fantasy fairy tale or the story of a teenage girl's descent into madness? Topics include David Bowie, misremembering lyrics, the baby actor's wellbeing and the age old discussion of digital media vs physical. Join in in two weeks for Jen's birthday pick. Contains strong language.
-
The A Christmas Story (1983) Problem
It's our final episode of the year and the second festive episode of the month. Jimmy and Jen discuss this beloved classic like two people who aren't fans of the movie. Because, well, you know, they're not... Sorry. Topics include corporal punishment in schools, the different ways to discuss movies and good ol' racism. Jen's audio starts off not great but improves very, very quickly. Contains strong language.

The Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) Problem
It's DECEMBER! In the first of two episodes this month, Jimmy and Jen talk about this 1985 oddity. They discuss the usual, as well as the movie's music and Jimmy has a couple of rants. Please note that Jen's audio quality in this episode varies wildly. Contains strong language.
-
The Home for the Holidays (1995) Problem
Join Jimmy and Jen as they discuss Jodie Foster's second movie as a director. Topics include drug addiction, relatives and Television sizes. We'll be back in two weeks with a Christmas movie! Contains strong language.

The Ishtar (1987) Problem
The wheel returns with this infamous bomb but is it really that bad? Discussions/tangents include Funko Pops, bad movies and weird IMDB trivia. Stay tuned at the end for announcements regarding the future of the show. Contains strong language.
-
The Brainscan (1994) Problem
It's our shortest ever episode and Jimmy had to put audio of the original trailer at the end to get it over the 30 minute mark, yay! October ends with this semi-forgotten horror that maybe should be all the way forgotten? Possibly. Jimmy and Jen discuss acting, confusing endings, the movie's score and next week's episode is determined by the wheel! Contains very strong language. Recorded on Sunday 29th October 2023.

Awesome Concept
I love this idea. I enjoyed Jimmy’s perspective given. I’ve noticed there are a lot of shows I’ve never heard of, and now have plenty of time to browse more. Keep up the good work!
Fun Show!
Great premise for a podcast - a lot more failed pilots available out there than one might think.
