Manifest - The Pilot Episode

Happy Wine Wednesday! Stacey AKA Sticky Keys of the Beacon Hills After Dark Podcast returns again this week to join us for the fourth installment of our Pilot Project series.  We gave our version of guest's rights to Stacey and let her pick the pilot.  Stacey went with the former NBC, now Netflix series - Manifest.  Grab your wine and boarding pass as we discuss all things related to Flight 828.  One of the passengers on this podcast flight may have had one drink too many, so consider yourself warned.

Stacey gets us started by sharing why she likes Manifest.  We then share what we liked and what we didn't like about the pilot episode.  Next, we get into the Qs that needed some As.  Do people really clap at the end of flights?  Are Michaela and Ben the only ones who hear voices?  If you found out you lost five years of your life on a flight, what's your priority as you try to return to normal?

As always, we discuss standout performances, the actors that quenched our thirst, and we have a brief spoiler segment at the end. 

Friendly reminder - we drink, we know things, and we use adult language!
