Season 6: The End
This was a place that we all made together. Thank you for listening. You can find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast. Our theme music is by Andy G. Cohen and our cover art is by Danny Roth.
01.31.2023
Season 6: What They Died For
The endgame is fast approaching. We talk about how satisfying it is to watch Jack come into his own as a leader, how moving it is to see Sideways Locke accept his offer of help, how frustrating Jacob's conception of...
11.17.2022
Season 6: Across the Sea
It's no secret that this episode — where we learn about the early lives of Jacob and the Man in Black, along with their Mother — isn't a favorite among Lost fans. So we dig into what works, what doesn't...
11.01.2022
Season 6: The Candidate
Yes, it's the episode where Sayid redeems himself. The one where Sun and Jin meet their terrible fate. The one where Sawyer is at his best — and most tragic. We analyze it from every angle, and get some more...
10.17.2022
Season 6: The Last Recruit
We can't seem to agree whether this episode is awesome or full of unrealized potential — so let us know what you think? Either way, the finale is near. We've also got a great conversation with LOST executive producer Jean...
10.04.2022
Season 6: Everybody Loves Hugo
They sure do! We love Hurley's open-mindedness, generosity and capacity as a budding leader, though we disagree somewhat on his methods. We also talk about what makes the Desmond/Man in Black scenes so great. Henry Ian Cusick returns to talk...
09.20.2022
Season 6: Happily Ever After
We dig into Desmond's sideways life, in which he works for Charles Widmore and believes he has it all — until Charlie wakes him up, of course — and how it might change the way we understand the light at...
09.06.2022
Season 6: The Package
Sun and Jin are meant to be together in every lifetime, but maybe it's meant to be full of near-insurmountable obstacles. Also, we talk with Néstor Carbonell about Jacob's not-so-kind role in Richard's life and about what the future might've...
08.24.2022
Season 6: Ab Aeterno
We dig into "Ab Aeterno," the cinematic journey into Richard Alpert's century-and-a-half-long life, with actor Néstor Carbonell — and explore the possibility that the Island is, in fact, a kind of hell. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast....
08.09.2022
Season 6: Recon
Sawyer has come a long way since Season 1, even if he's not yet the (mostly) thoughtful man we see in this week's (delicious) flash sideways. We compare his double-crossing ways to Ben Linus — and continue our conversation with...
07.26.2022
Season 6: Dr. Linus
We talk "Dr. Linus" with Benjamin Linus himself, the great Michael Emerson. He tells us why he thinks Ben was a good-hearted person deep down all along, and why power was never right for him. We lament the corrupting influence...
07.12.2022
Season 6: Sundown
Director Bobby Roth walks us through Sundown, from the Sayid-Dogen fight sequence to the crowded final scene. Sayid is still in love with Nadia in the flash sideways and it breaks our hearts. And yes, the Darkness has taken Sayid,...
06.28.2022
Season 6: Lighthouse
Jack works out some of his father-son issues in the afterlife, which is deeply moving. On the Island, though, he still has some things to work out. And recurring The Hatch guest Michael Emerson returns to share thoughts on Ben's...
06.14.2022
Season 6: The Substitute
Nothing is irreversible — but our Losties also need to learn when to let go. We debate the big existential questions as the Man in Black masterfully manipulates Sawyer. Plus we interview Tucker Gates, who directed this amazing episode! ...
05.31.2022
Season 6: What Kate Does
Maybe this should have been a Sawyer episode? And what if Sayid had actually *chosen* the dark side, instead of getting infected? Hindsight is 20/20 — and so is Part 2 of our interview with Terry O'Quinn! ...
05.17.2022
Season 6: LA X
We're back and diving right in: Jack and Locke meet in another place. What does their conversation about Christian's body mean? Plus, the first part of our interview with Terry O'Quinn, who played John Locke/the Man in Black. Find us...
05.10.2022
Season 6: Coming May 17!
We'll start watching the sixth and final season of Lost next week! We're excited about lots of returning interview guests this season, like Néstor Carbonell, who will walk us through "Ab Aeterno." As always, send us your hot takes at...
08.19.2021
Season 5: The Incident
With help from listeners and LOST co-creator Damon Lindelof, we dig deep into "The Incident," particularly Juliet, Jack, Sawyer, Jacob and Ben. We share a few galaxy-brain takes and pick our Season 5 MVPs and LVPs. The shooting script for...
08.12.2021
Season 5: Follow the Leader
It's the endgame now: Jack has a purpose, Kate thinks it's a dumb purpose, and Locke is sounding less and less like Locke. We talk about how these three characters have evolved and celebrate Sayid's return. We also share more...
08.05.2021
Season 5: The Variable
We spend the bulk of this episode meditating on the nature of time, free will, and the difference between prescribed outcomes and choices that were always made. It's pretty in the weeds, but we think Daniel Faraday would have appreciated...
07.29.2021
Season 5: Some Like It Hoth
The show gets surreal as Hurley tries to rewrite "Star Wars" and Miles communes with the dead while his parents raise his baby self nearby. We absolutely love it, and we sympathize with how Miles is feeling about his dad....
07.22.2021
Season 5: Dead Is Dead
We love this episode. The Ben Linus/John Locke relationship reaches new and intriguing heights as Ben tries to parse who this new person is. The Ben Linus/Charles Widmore relationship gets a little more color, though neither man comes out looking...
07.15.2021
Season 5: Whatever Happened, Happened
This week we've got a deep dive into Kate's psyche (and Jack's, and Juliet's, and Sawyer's). Why did she give up Aaron, and should she have done it three years ago? Was she ever truly comfortable with "The Lie"? Plus...
07.08.2021
Season 5: He's Our You
After being dragged back to the Island against his will, Sayid continues down a dark path. Juliet recognizes that her life in Dharma Initiative is coming to an end and Sawyer begins to do the same. It's all very sad....
07.01.2021
Season 5: Namaste
Sawyer continues impressing the hell out of us, saving people left and right and (maybe?) showing stronger leadership skills than Jack ever did. Plus we get our first glimpses of Radzinsky (what a jerk!) and Young Ben (super creepy). And...
06.24.2021
Season 5: LaFleur
Sawyer convinces the Dharma Initiative to take his group in, confronts Richard, falls in love with Juliet, and continues to search for John Locke and the Oceanic Six. Mark Goldman, who directed this episode, takes us behind the scenes for...
06.17.2021
Season 5: The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham
In Jeremy Bentham's short life, he did a lot: Saw Charles Widmore and Walt, talked about fate and free will with Matthew Abbadon, had several terse conversations with Oceanic 6 survivors, and ultimately — in one of the show's most...
06.10.2021
Season 5: 316
What were Christian's shoes really about? What happened when Jack finally read Locke's note? And what about all the other people on Ajira Airways Flight 316?? There's simply too much to talk about this week, but we do our best....
06.03.2021
Season 5: This Place Is Death
The mystery of the French science team, the death of Charlotte, the tragedy of Sun and Jin's search for one another, and the sacrifice of John Locke — this episode really has it all, and we'll discuss all of it....
05.27.2021
Season 5: The Little Prince
The big question this week: Why does Kate decide to raise Aaron, and claim that he is her child? Meanwhile, on island, we appreciate Sawyer opening up to Juliet and Locke reaching a more mature understanding of his destiny. Plus...
05.20.2021
Season 5: Jughead
We're psyched for a Desmond episode, although we've got questions about his decision to go visit Charles Widmore — and about Daniel Faraday's decision not to tell Charlotte what's happening to her. We also interview prop master Rob Kyker, who...
05.13.2021
Season 5: The Lie
Did the Oceanic Six have to lie? What happened because of it? We dig into Hurley's experience and questions of fate and free will in the second episode of this season. We also have more from Damon Lindelof, one of...
05.06.2021
Season 5: Because You Left
We're thrilled to start Season 5 with "Because You Left." We talk through the opening scenes, the Man in Black's already-apparent manipulations, Charles Widmore's brief appearance as a classic movie villain, and much more. In the interview segment, Damon Lindelof...
04.29.2021
Season 5: Coming May 6!
We'll begin watching Season 5 of Lost on May 6. This season, we'll feature interviews with Damon Lindelof, Jeff Fahey, prop master Rob Kyker, and more. Keep up with us this season on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at facebook.com/thehatchpodcast. Our theme...
08.25.2020
Season 4: There's No Place Like Home, Parts 2 & 3
It's the Season 4 finale, so we've got some deep philosophical debates: Is Ben already plotting his return to the island? Is Locke really cut out to lead the Others? And who are this season's most and least valuable players?...
08.18.2020
Season 4: There's No Place Like Home, Part 1
Finally, we see the Oceanic Six return to the real world, complete with a press conference. But back on the island, chaos reigns: Jack and Sawyer go in pursuit of Hurley, Desmond discovers explosives on the freighter, the Others capture...
08.11.2020
Season 4: Cabin Fever
What is destiny, anyway? We try to figure out what it means for Locke and for Ben, as Locke attempts to save the island and Ben attempts to avoid grappling with his sins. Plus we welcome back Kevin Durand (Martin...
08.04.2020
Season 4: Something Nice Back Home
On the island, Jack has appendicitis and Juliet saves the day. But we spend most of this episode discussing the flash-forward, in which Jack and Kate appear to be happily raising Aaron together until Hurley and Christian Shephard fan the...
07.28.2020
Season 4: The Shape of Things to Come
Michael Emerson joins us to discuss the scene in which Keamy kills Alex, when Ben Linus's heartless façade begins to crack just a little. We dive deep into the Ben-Charles Widmore confrontation and Ben's recruitment of Sayid in the flash-forward....
07.21.2020
Season 4: Meet Kevin Johnson
After watching this episode, we're ready to declare Michael the show's most tragic character. Seriously, all he wants to do is die and even that won't grant him peace. We also talk with production designer Jim Newport, who takes us...
07.14.2020
Season 4: Ji Yeon
The combined flashback/flash-forward doesn't quite hold up on a second viewing, but the rest of this episode does. From Juliet revealing Sun's affair to Jin to Bernard reflecting on karma to the low hum of danger on the freighter, there's...
07.07.2020
Season 4: The Other Woman
We're surprised by how much we enjoy this episode — Ben is at his most disturbing, and Harper Stanhope may or may not be the Monster. (Also, remember the Widmore reveal?!) Plus we continue our conversation with costume designer Roland...
06.30.2020
Season 4: The Constant
Some have called "The Constant" the greatest TV episode of the millennium. Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond) and Sonya Walger (Penny) join us to discuss the episode in detail, from how the phone call was filmed to what made their characters'...
06.23.2020
Season 4: Eggtown
Lots of questions this week: Why won't Kate let her mother see Aaron? Why is she really mad at Sawyer? And how much should we blame Locke for his own incompetent leadership? Plus we talk with LOST costume designer Roland...
06.16.2020
Season 4: The Economist
Sayid, sometime in the future, is a dapper assassin in places like the Seychelles. This prompts a lot of questions, although we remain Sayid's #1 fans, and also talk Naomi, Kate and Sawyer. Plus, the conclusion of our interview with...
06.09.2020
Season 4: Confirmed Dead
The freighter folk are introduced in the second episode of Season 4 — but should this have been the season premiere? We think so, actually. We talk about all the reasons we love Daniel Faraday, Charlotte Lewis, Miles Straume and...
06.02.2020
Season 4: The Beginning of the End
We're back for season four, folks! "The Beginning of the End" picks up right where season 3 left off. It's the first season premiere to focus on anyone but Jack, choosing Hurley instead. We talk about the still-escalating Jack-John conflict,...
05.26.2020
Bonus Episode: LOST Madness
Before getting started with Season 4, we're taking a look back at LOST Madness, our March Madness-style tournament to choose the show's best episode. See the results here: . We talk with TV writer Josh Wigler, whose rankings of every...
05.23.2020
Season 4: Coming 6/2!
We'll begin the 13 action-packed episodes of Season 4 on June 2. Featured guests this season include Rebecca Mader, Kevin Durand, prop master Rob Kyker, and more! Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast, and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast. Leave us your hot take...
01.09.2020
Season 3: Through The Looking Glass
We can hardly believe we've reached the end of Season 3. As we watch the action-packed season finale, we talk about Charlie's battle against fate, Jack's transformation into a highly effective leader, Ben's continued spiral as his power wanes, and...
