LOST: Down the Hatch | Season 1 Book Club
Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) do not know how to read, so they have enlisted some help as they go down the hatch and explore the many literary references in LOST season one.
Special guest Jonathan Krause (@JonKrause) joins Down the Hatch for one last look back on season one before it’s full steam ahead into the second season of LOST. Jon leads Josh and Mike through a discussion of the following literary works:
- Watership Down
- A Wrinkle in Time
- Rick Romer’s Visions of Astrology
- Autoracing Magazines
- Heart of Darkness
- Harry Potter
- Lord of the Flies
And more.
About Down the Hatch …
LOST: Down the Hatch is a full-tilt spoiler-filled rewatch of LOST. Every week, Josh and Mike break down an episode of LOST with the benefit of knowing the series’ full trajectory, using the following structure as a guide:
- We Go “Fourth” – Josh and Mike begin each podcast with a deep-dive into the story both in front of and behind the camera, and they do so with the assistance of…
- 8 Sounds – The events of LOST pop right off the camera and straight into your ears with eight memorable moments replayed on the podcast, helping us guide through the story;
- 15/16 Others – Josh and Mike answer questions and comments sent their way through the official e-mail address: downthehatch@
postshowrecaps.com - 23 Points – Each week, Josh and Mike hand out points for the best and worst characters of the episode in question, in a foolhardy attempt to determine the most and least valuable players in the LOST pantheon.
- 4.2 Stars – Josh and Mike will attempt to create an official Down the Hatch rankin
g of every episode of LOST, by rating them all on a scale from 0 – 4.2. Josh and Mike will offer their individual scores, listeners’ scores will be averaged as a third data point, then the three points will be combined for the podcast’s official score on each episode.
Each episode of Down the Hatch clocks in at no less than 108 minutes. If the podcast falls short of that runtime, Josh and Mike have triggered a crisis! Consequences may (and almost certainly will) ensue thanks to the Frozen Donkey Wheel.
