Perry Mason – The Pilot’s Club 47

We close out the Year of the Detective with another granddaddy, old Perry Mason. Not a real man. Not sad, hot Matthew Rhys. The one from 1957! We discuss the show’s unique features in the TV landscape of the time — this detective is also a lawyer and also he lives in glamorous Hollywood, Raymond Burr’s big eyes, a gun you don’t know, and a suspect who is very obviously lying.

The Whatnauts Pilot’s Club is a podcast all about the first 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 Patreon supporters 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, our Patreon is the place to do that.
