**Episode 187: Guy Text Written by Aaron Brownstein & Simon Ganz**
This month’s dead pilot is **Guy Text** , written by Aaron Brownstein and Simon Ganz, whose credits include _Santa Clarita Diet_ , _Beavis and ButtHead_ , and _About a Boy_. Four geriatric millennial friends struggle with what it means to be sensitive, thoughtful, emotionally available modern men. It’s a fast paced and funny pilot that you’ll really enjoy.
This episode launches a special two-month experiment on _Dead Pilots Society_. Two pilots built around the same premise—male group text threads—landed on Andrew’s radar, and both received table reads. In January we will be posting the second pilot, the after show interview, and a special roundtable episode featuring the writers of both pilots, diving into their approaches, creative choices, and the challenges of tackling the same premise.
The cast includes Ben Feldman (_Superstore_), Ritesh Rajan (_Definition Please_ , _Ken in animated Barbie TV shows_), Alex Klein (_Guardians of the Galaxy 2_), Josh Banday (_Upload_), Jonathan Slavin (_Better Off Ted_), Holly Chou (_X-Men 97_), Jessica Lowe (_Minx_), writer and comedian Megan Gailey, Anna Seregina (_The Civil Dead_), and Andrew Reich with stage directions.
