The Marvel Cinematic Universe rewatch is here! Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Kevin Mahadeo (@KevMahadeo) have launched “Everything is Super,” a new superhero and comic book focused podcast on Post Show Recaps, beginning with a full deep dive into the MCU.

Up next: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, in which Peter Quill finds out the father he’s spent his entire life searching for is an entire frickin’ planet. Wild times! It’s all about family in the second “Guardians, same as the first Guardians, but better or worse? Let’s dig in!

LOST: Down the Hatch | Season 3, Episode 3: “Further Instructions”

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) are hunting for a farm in their recap of “Further Instructions.”

In season three’s third outing, John Locke stands tall in the jungle as a man on a mission. In his past, he’s a … pot farmer? It’s one of the most notorious flashbacks in LOST history. Is it as bad as it’s cracked up to be or are there reasons to sit back and enjoy the polar bear hunt? Josh and Mike dig in.

Josh and Mike Bloom will return for “Every Man for Himself” on August 12, 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.

Schedule for the next few weeks:

* Every Man For Himself feedback due 8/9, podcast drops 8/12

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

LOST: Down the Hatch | Season 3, Episode 2: “The Glass Ballerina”

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) are going to need you to bring them that boat.

Josh and Mike knock over “The Glass Ballerina,” the second episode of season three — an episode that might be altogether forgotten if not for a few truly tremendous scenes. Do those scenes help elevate an episode that’s otherwise spinning its wheels (or spinning its sails; clearly no one here knows how boats work)? Find out in the podcast!

Josh and Mike Bloom will return for “Further Instructions” on August 8, 2020.

For the next several weeks, Josh and Kevin will focus on a different film from the MCU, in release order. Up next: Doctor Strange, a movie Josh and Kevin should by all rights thoroughly love, but instead are left with a tragic case of “meh.” Why doesn’t Doctor Strange work the way it should? Why oh why is it not a direct adaptation of Doctor Strange: The Oath, a comic book you all should make it a point to read right now? Josh and Kevin get into all that and more.

LOST: Down the Hatch | Season 3 Premiere: “A Tale of Two Cities”

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) are taking Down the Hatch downtown.

Josh and Mike tell “A Tale of Two Cities,” as they finally get into the third season of LOST. They gush about the debut of Juliet Burke, dump on Jack and his very bad flashback behavior, and otherwise wax poetic on the first foray into Hydra Island.

Josh and Mike Bloom will return for “The Glass Ballerina” on July 31, 2020.

Mike will be missing from the podcast next week; a season two book club podcast with Josh, Jonathan Krause and a special guest will drop instead of the season three premiere recap. Expect the season three premiere recap on July 24, 2020.
