LOST: Down the Hatch | Tales from the Island, Episode 2: “The Other Other 48 Days”

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) resume their roles of Billy Wallace and Rodney Cesteau, two background Oceanic 815 survivors (not to mention murderous narcissists) in the second episode of LOST Down the Hatch Presents: Tales From The Island, “The Other Other 48 Days.”

Over the course of Down the Hatch, Josh and Mike will periodically transform the podcast into a full-on tabletop roleplaying game, ala Dungeons and Dragons. The mystical and mysterious R Filly (@Wharfrat1625) joins them in the role of dungeon master, presiding over Josh and Mike’s myriad misadventures and playing the roles of various non-playable characters in this full-on fan-fiction flurry of events from LOST.

In “The Other Other 48 Days,” Rich guides Josh’s Billy and Mike’s Rodney through more than a month’s worth of events from the island, as the Bulk and Skull of LOST link up with new pals, make new enemies, play golf, and casually murder a couple of folks. Good times!It’s yet another fully ridiculous installment of Post Show Recaps Theater, which — it bears noting — is outright fan fiction, and probably not for everyone. If it’s not your cup of tea, move right along to the next recap episode! If you’re a fan, however, Josh, Mike and Rich will resume Tales from the Island at an unknown point in the future.

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: [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 will attempt to create an official Down the Hatch ranking 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.
