Trashfuture Presents: John Taliban, Episode 1
Several months ago, Alice Caldwell-Kelly awoke from a literal fever dream covered in a sheen of sweat, with one name on her lips: JOHN TALIBAN. A man whose name is just, coincidentally, Taliban. A man who loves Ford cars. Maybe his name’s Hungarian, it’s impossible to know. And now, from that impossible dream, Alice and friend of the show Noah Suarez-Sikes have written a real pilot which we’ve table read for you—the loyal hog. Please enjoy this TF Special Presentation™ of JOHN TALIBAN.

This needs to be pitched to Nebula
This was fantastic. This deserves to be more.
I want this to be shot by Cary Juji Fukunaga
This gave me serious Bojack vibes. absolutely amazing.
Just listened to this while driving in my diesel ford focus and never been more amused on the M25. It was really good and hope it gets renewed atleast for a part 2 of the pilot
What the hell was that.
Having almost the whole gang together on a completely unexpected type of content was simply fantastic! The voice acting, the writing, you really blew it out of the water.
This actually gave me the vibe of Breaking Bad a bit. And Phoebe was so good I actually forgot it was even her! Didn't think this would be more than a 4 minute bit for a podcast intro, but this has got legs.
This is pure comedic genius
I was crying with laughter multiple times here, genuine gold.
It's about integrity
Make this audio into an NFT and sell it to the highest bidder.
ngl i cried a bit
comedic The Leftovers love it
Gay houses for everyone should be the new new new left slogan
Nate over coms sounds like red vs blue Griff
Stop releasing all other episodes. Turn this feed into John Taliban.
fuck, I wish I had a gay house
"our honorable daimyo the Ford motor company" is now permanently etched into my mind. I'm so glad this came to fruition
Absolutely HOWLING at this oh my lord special mention to phoebe and liam what a way to start my day
amazing
This was fucking incredible
The scene with John and Erica at home destroyed me the Lindisfarne line was so good
John Taliban is giving me a lot of Disco Elysium Vibes. Is John Taliban like a cross between Harry du Bois and Devon?
Incredible
I had to explain to my supervisor why I kept cracking up and the absolutely blank look of incomprehension on his face when I tried to explain did not make matters any better.
I am in awe
It's perfect. Ashleigh plays it in full. Dr Janega perfectly balances her. Roz brings perfect treats.
This is just perfection. The world needs more spec ops car salesmanship
Extremely beautiful work great performances from everybody especially phoebe as ashleigh
Bravo. Perfect 5 stars
