Episode notes
Episode 204: On The Road by Kathryn Borel Jr
This month’s dead pilot is On the Road, Kathryn Borel Jr.’s daring reimagining of Jack Kerouac’s iconic novel. Instead of trying to recreate a literary classic beat for beat, Kathryn takes its spirit and builds something entirely her own. It’s exactly the kind of ambitious swing we love celebrating on Dead Pilots Society.
Kathryn’s credits include Rush, American Dad!, Anne with an E, and Kung Fu, and she’s currently working on Damon Lindelof’s upcoming limited series The Chain. She’s also the author of the memoir Corked.
The cast features Kelly Marie Tran (The Last Jedi, Raya and the Last Dragon), Zosia Mamet (Girls, Laid), Rebecca Pidgeon (Euphoria, State and Main), and Brian McElhaney of BriTANicK (Pizza Movie).
Video of the live table read is available exclusively to Maximum Fun members. Become a member for as little as $5 a month at maximumfun.org/join.
