This is the first episode of The Pre Pre Production Podcast, where two longtime friends with too many great ideas take unused film and TV concepts and flesh them out completely in real time - plot, characters, twists, and all - then bring them to life with a radio play at the end!
This episode develops a crime series about detective sisters: one is a methodical piano-playing cop, the other is a burn victim genius with hypersensitivity disorder who solves impossible cases from her sensory deprivation tank. Think Monk meets House with a pinch of Minority Report but with sisters and way more tragedy. Plus: mutilation timelines, finger-counting clocks, and why sad stoic characters make audiences cry harder.
