Original movies are back! Sort of. This past weekend we truly experienced a phenomenon. Ryan Coogler's fifth feature film, his first film to not be based on existing IP or real events, Sinners, opened to rave reviews and decent box office numbers. This is a massive feeling film shot in Imax about a subject very personal to Coogler, as we track Mich…

We're back with another episode of Talkin' Lost! This time, we get something completely different. Our first episode with no flashbacks, because the entire episode is a flashback! We get the backstory of the tail end survivors and their experiences during the 48 days on the island that we'd spent with our main group through all of Season 1 into the…

Tune in for another episode of Lost in which we break down Episode 6 of Season 2, Abandoned, which finally starts to give Shannon some much needed character development, while the tail end survivors get closer to our main group. Then, Dom & Luk break down the much agonized over casting announcement for Avengers: Doomsday that went up this past Tues…

What's up guys! We're back for arguably our most important podcast episode of March post the Oscars! First, Dom & Luk break down episode 5 of Season 2 of Lost, and Found, the next Jin/Sun episode that sees them separated and on opposite ends of the island, while another flashback shows the circumstances that first brought them together. Then, they …

On the next episode of Talkin' Lost, Dom & Luk witness the survivors now having to deal with the inner workings of the hatch.

Alright people! the Oscars were last night, and we have got a LOT to break down about it. Mostly just the vast amount of celebrating that seemed to go down around this ceremony, truly making it feel like the first time in years that they were actually about the art form and not the politics. For the most part. First, Luk and Dom break down the seco…

WE'RE BACK! On the island that is. After a two week hiatus, Luk and Dom have returned to the island with the season 2 premiere, "Man of Science, Man of Faith" another crucially important episode in the history/canon of Lost. Jack and Locke argue about going down the hatch after blowing it open, the origin of how Jack met his wife is revealed, and w…

What's going on guys! We're officially halfway through February, which means we're finally coming out of the winter months and getting ready for spring! Which naturally means that Hollywood decided to dump ALL the content on us. We've got a brand new MCU movie in theaters, Captain America: Brave New World, which went through heaps of reshoots and e…

Alright people! The 2024 recaps are over, so we can now, FINALLY, look ahead to 2025.

Rousseau shows up with an ominous warning about the others, prompting the survivors to launch the raft before turning their attention to breaking open the hatch, solving the two…

Penultimate episode time people! The last episode before the Season 1 finale. Despite it being the third Kate backstory we've gotten this season, there is a certain level of resolution that comes here. Kate's not a problematic character, but more so a victim of circumstance, as the decision to keep Jack alive rather than kill him off like in the or…

And with that, the 2024 recaps are complete! I know it's in our title header, but this was a WEIRD year for TV to say the least. Especially because it felt like for our top 10's, it was more like we were justifying their places on the list rather than praising them. The strikes hit hard this year, and TV's always been more of a personal medium than…

We're almost to the finish line! The first one, at least. Our third to last episode for Season 1, The Greater Good, follows the fall out from Boone's death. Jack is on the brink of exhaustion and passing out, Locke confesses, Shannon doesn't believe him, and Sayid is put in a tough situation, causing him to flash back to his post war days, being co…

Dom is joined by Dustin and first time to the channel, long time Yo…

We're getting closer and closer to the end of the run, and just when I thought we had the best episode of the season so far, we've got another one. Do No Harm, a crucially important episode for a lot of different reasons, but namely that we witness the first major character departure on the show: Boone Carlyle, portrayed by Ian Somerhalder. The epi…

BOOM! That's right, surprise episode. Right at the end of the week too. In fairness, this was supposed to be right before the Oscar nominations dropped, but now all of LA is on fire, so they got delayed to next week. Dom is joined by his team of Oscar's experts, comprised of Kristen, Dustin, Nathaniel and channel newcomer Justin Jaeger aka Brother …

Wow we haven't done one of these in awhile. The next in our 2024 year end wrap lists, and we're doing a worst of list. The last time I did one of these was for 2021. But a special kind a year requires a special kind of list. Dom is joined by Luk, Kristen & Mac, newly engaged, to break down the suckiest of the suck, the absolute worst that 2024 movi…

As we begin our wrap up run of Season 1, we bring it back to one John Locke, and discover that, despite the island magically restoring his ability to walk, that he had one tragic event happen to him after another. Not too many people have their absentee parents con them out of a kidney at almost …

Holy shit. Here we are. 7 seasons. 2025. New year, new rules. How are we actually here. I have this theory that everytime we enter a new year, we enter a new dimension. But we are somehow 5 years post Covid, which means that we are halfway through the 2020's as a decade, which means that it's time to count down our ten favorite movies of the decade…

Alright people! This is it! The last podcast of the year! And we're actually doing not just one, but two movies! Hard as it tried, 2024 did not completely ruin movies for me. Like any year would. It tried its best, but thankfully, we had two bangers to end the year on, with James Mangold's Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothee Chalamet "A Complete Unk…

Alright people! The year is almost wrapped (thank god) and we're coming down to the wire! We're taking the week off from Lost next week, and what an episode to wrap our 2024 run on.

Our next episode of Talkin' Lost is here! We are just about into the final run, with the next episode, In Translation, focusing on Jin & Sun, this time showing the events we previously saw in House of the Rising Sun from Jin's perspective. This an episode all about origins and social class, how they shape us as people and the things we will do for …

We're approaching the end people! Of the year, that is. We're almost through our run of Lost's first season, and this week, we're back to the Lost that we love with Outlaws.

We're more than halfway through the first season of Lost, and our latest episode "Hearts & Minds" reminds us why we love this show in the first place. This time we've got an episode focused on Boone (Ian Somerhalder) who wants so badly to be a hero that it makes him come as desperate, at least until he starts helping Locke with the hatch they've di…

HA! A PUN IN THE TITLE. GET IT! People we are officially past the halfway point of Lost Season 1. Insane.

We're back with another episode of Lost! And since it is Halloween, it figures that we would start to get a little spooky here, a throwback to our Shock-tobers of old as we break down "Raised by Another" which gives us the backstory on Claire and how her and her unborn child came to the island. This is by far the heaviest supernatural episode we've…
