  • Could have been good, but…

    I really wish I could listen to this podcast, but I can’t, and there are two reasons.

    1. I’m a first-time Lost viewer, and there are several casual spoilers in every episode. It’s a shame, because the spoilers don’t seem essential to the overall thrust of this podcast, and you’ve locked lot out a large potential audience by including them.

    2. Mike interrupts Josh constantly in ways that make this unlistenable for me. Some of the insights are good, some are not, but not a single one requires y... more

  • Awesome podcast

    Great podcast. Makes rewatching lost a ton of fun. I just finished season 3. I watched Lost live back in the day, then rewatched all of it probably around 2011 or so. Around the time I first got Netflix

    Maybe you guys could give The Leftovers the same podcast treatment . It’s a lot heavier of a show to say the least, but it’s an all time top 5 for me so maybe it’s way up there with other Lost fans.

  • Lost and so much more

    Deeps of dives into Lost? Who else would discover the writer of a sound drop during a 30sec clip of Hurley’s lottery past.

    Exhaustively covered Lost with full spoilers. A pure delight for huge Lost fans. Told by two friends that love the show.

    Tangents are delightful and plentiful.

    They have covered the first season of Heros and have moved onto Battlestar Galatica with a spoiler free coverage.

    Rob and Mike are amazing and feel like the friends I have never met.

  • Would be 5 stars, but frequent editing issues

    Great thoughtful discussion on one of the most underrated shows of the 21st century! Hosts have awesome chemistry that would translate even if I wasn’t so interested in the topic. Only problem is editing- every episode has 2-3 instances when 30-60 sound bites repeat themselves. Doesn’t prevent my enjoyment of the podcast, but hopefully something that can be fixed in the future!

  • The commentary was OKish (long-winded and kind of scattered) but I couldn't handle their voices or their snide mocking of Jack's voice; which was only hilarious because neither of these men should be mocking others for how they sound. I made it to Moth before deciding this one wasn't for me and I don't want to be too harsh but I honestly hated it. I only give a pass for their voices because it's the only thing they can't control. Lost is amazing and has nothing to do with my review.
