LOST: Down the Hatch | Season 2 Book Club: Bad Twin + The ARG Recap

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) welcomes Jonathan Krause and The Ben Behind the Curtain for a special episode of LOST: Down the Hatch.

In the season two book club, Jon and Ben guide Josh and the listeners through a literary tour of season two — if Gary Troup’s “Bad Twin” counts as literature, at least! The podcast focuses on spoiling the entirety of “Bad Twin,” plus recapping the LOST Alternate Reality Game from the summer between seasons two and three.

Josh and Mike Bloom will return for the season three premiere recap on July 24, 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: [email protected].

* 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.
