LOST: Down the Hatch | Season 3, Episode 4: “Every Man for Himself”

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) are asking you to COME ON COME ON HEY COME COME ON HEY COME ON IN GUYS.

This week on Down the Hatch, it’s “Every Man for Himself.” Quite literally! It’s the season three Sawyer episode, the one and only, and it’s also the episode that features Mike’s very favorite line in all of LOST. Whose line is it, anyway? Listen in and find out!

Josh and Mike Bloom will return for a One-Year Anniversary Special on August 15, 2020.

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 eight sound clips from each episode.
The Others – Josh and Mike answer questions sent their way by listeners 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 rank every episode of LOST, by rating them all on a scale from 0 – 4.2. Josh and Mike offer their individual scores, listeners’ scores will be averaged as a third data point, then the three points combine as the podcast’s official score on each episode.

Schedule for the next few weeks:

One Year Anniversary feedback due 8/10, podcast drops 8/15

4.2 – Perfect episode of LOST. Firing on all cylinders, no real weak points
4.0-4.1 – Near-perfect episode of LOST. Has one or two minor things that are meh or weak.
3.7-3.9 – Awesome episode of LOST. Has one or two major things that are meh or weak.
