The Lost Broadcasts: A Podcast About Lostalikes

It’s the dawn of our straight sci-fi block, and we’re out of the gate with a show set in the 19th century… hold on, that’s the wrong direction for sci-fi. What the heck? Shouldn’t we be going far into the future? Call me when they make a sequel called 2899… now that’s a properly futuristic year. In any case, 1899 was fascinating to dig into, with more meaningful similarities to Lost than anything we’ve covered and a combo of strengths and weaknesses we very rarely see.

Tune in for discussion of the Bermuda Triangle, Clair Obscur, and “Speedball” Mike Bailey.

It's the end of the miscellaneous block, which has us wondering: In all this seeming randomness, have you ever seen....a pattern? Maybe something more is going on than we could possibly understand, a hidden web of dark intentions underlying the fabric of our everyday reality. Anyone else ever think about this? It's just been on my mind lately. Unrelatedly, the show this month is Vanished, which is about a political conspiracy.

Tune in for discussion of Thomas Pynchon, Programmed To Kill, and Hamilton.

We're back from summer break! The miscellaneous block reaches a thrilling high point with NBC's Windfall. Not the best show of this arc, but certainly the MOST miscellaneous. Twenty friends all went in on a lottery ticket and walked away with $19 million each. Is it a gift or a curse? Will they do anything interesting at all with their money? Listening in is your only way to find out!

Tune in for discussion of ER, Lance Armstrong, and The City From The Saw Films.

This month, the “miscellaneous block” lives up to its name with a show that’s literally about miscellany. Would you like to hear about the Key, the Pen, the Glass Eye, the Bus Ticket, and more? The Lost Room offers exactly that, with its story of supernaturally-empowered mundane objects and the Factions that pursue them. Will we be joining the Order, or the Legion? Listen here to find out!

Tune in for discussion of the Syfy house style, Control, and Kinger’s potential GOAT status.

After a disappointing start, the "miscellaneous block" continues with a show Esther remembers as being an AV Club favorite back in the day. Kings is a strange and nearly indescribable genre gumbo that retells the Biblical story of David in a fictional modern-day kingdom. Is Kings a secret Goliath? Or did it bean us in the head with its slingshot? Listen here to find out!

Tune in for discussion of The Long Walk, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, and GATH.

Despite everything, it’s still The Lost Broadcasts. A new block begins, made up of miscellaneous shows that don’t really relate to each other. Will Hannah and Esther give The Nine a nine out of ten? Or will it be nine out of 50, or even 100? Oh, and feel free to skip to 15:48 to get to the start of the episode proper. We get it.

Tune in for discussion of death rolls, Crash, and Survivor.

Our long podcast nightmare is finally over. The Adaptations Block concludes this month with a look at a TV-to-TV transformation, a miniseries remake of one of the greatest shows ever to grace the small screen. It’s AMC’s 2009 version of The Prisoner! Can Hannah and Esther escape the Village? Or will they divulge the secret reason for their resignation? Listen now to learn!

Tune in for discussion of Drag-On Dragoon, Double Team, and Williams.

We're still stuck in the dangerous waters of Adaptation Bay... it's a battle of inches, people. This month, we're talking about a 2016 adaptation of Frequency, a mildly-seen, mildly-liked, mildly-remembered grenre drama movie from 2000. What could go wrong? Lots, it turns out. We're diving into a mystifying series of low-stakes bad choices here.

Tune in for discussion of epic fat friends, Warlord Sullivan's blimp flotilla, and Aerion Brightflame.

The adaptations block rolls on, and this time we’re talking about a remake of….the original Lostalike?? Kolchak: The Night Stalker was a short-lived but brilliant 70s series that inspired generations of genre television. Will its 2005 reboot have the same impact? Tune in to find out!

Tune in for discussion of TV Guide, the new Pittsburgh NBA franchise, and Codejak.
