Following The Leftovers

<p>The archive for the officially unofficial podcast for The Leftovers on HBO.</p>

101 – “Pilot”

Surprise! Jim and I were tres intrigued by the pilot episode of HBO’s “The Leftovers”, and have decided to promote it to full cast status immediately.  Each week we’ll be doing a Fargo-esque “half-assed cast”, which will increase it’s ass rating if warranted, coming out on Tuesdays. In this episode we talk about Problem Dogs, problem daughters, silent screams, the problem with enigmatic cults, what effect a widespread, supernatural phenomenon would have on our age of reason, and finally whether or not we believe Lindelof can deliver the long term goods.

102 – “Penguin One, Us Zero”

Jim and A.Ron break down another hour full of questions and blanketed with despair that is the second episode of The Leftovers, “Penguin One, Us Zero”.  We discuss and then move past our histories with Lost and Lendelof, throw slushies at Princess Leia, accept six packs from imaginary friends, and have profanity laced debates with people who aren’t here.

103 – “Two Boats and a Helicopter”

Jim and A.Ron are very impressed with HBO’s The Leftovers third outing, “Two Boats and a Helicopter”.  We witness nothing less than the physical, emotional, and spiritual beating of former time lord turned reverend Christopher Eccleston.  What does it all mean for our understanding of this world?  Where will it go in the future?  Who knows, but we have a good time pondering these questions and more, as well as sharing the very best from our fellow fan-based mailbag!

This week on the podcast, Jim and A.Ron talk about the importance of tube grabbing, the instinctive, intense hatred we’re starting to feel towards the G.R., and lie awake at night pondering which of the Prius twins has more of the Todd nature.

106 – “Guest”

We’re back with another podcast for HBO’s The Leftovers, this time for episode 106, “Guest”.  An episode that is positively upbeat and chipper compared to last week’s.  Or as chipper and carefree as an episode featuring a mom hiring a hooker to shoot her in the chest as a way to deal with the crippling sense of loss she experienced when her whole family Departed can be, at any rate.

107 – “Solace for Tired Feet”

Jim and A.Ron are flummoxed by the latest episode of The Leftovers, 107 “Solace for Tired Feet”.  On the one hand, we have a lot of really interesting developments and nice character moments, on the other hand, we have questions.  So many questions.  Questions that seem awfully hard to answer in just three remaining episodes.  Are they going to wrap things up nicely, or leave us begging for more, or are we in for a category 5 Lindelofing?  Only time will tell.   If you want to give us a shout out, or otherwise give us a piece of your mind, email us, check us out on Facebook, or Tweet us.

203 – Off Ramp

Who was ready for a solid hour of Laurie Garvey and her dopey son Tommy before around 9:12pm Sunday night?  We certainly weren’t.  But wouldn’t you know, The Leftovers found a way to make these two hard to love characters who we didn’t feel particularly invested in almost instantly compelling. Support Bald Move:  Amazon  |  Club Bald Move We discuss the insight the episode has into ex-cult relationships, Meg’s new found power in the Guilty Remnant, and discuss the Tommy/Lil’ Wayne situation.  Is he for real?  If he’s not, does he think he is?  Will it matter?  All this plus we get a truly shocking and revolting reveal into the dark heart of humanity straight from a fellow listener in the feedback section.  Can’t wait for next week!

205 – “No Room at the Inn”

Jim and A.Ron are once again blown away by an episode of The Leftovers, “No Room at the Inn”.  Such a contradiction contained in one man, Matt Jamison; the strength, power, self-sacrifice and courage of his convictions, who lovingly and painstakingly cares for his comatose wife, who also is capable of lashing out at complete strangers and… raping his comatose wife?!  A lot of dark possibilities in this story line that is nevertheless touching and even heartbreaking at turns. Support Bald Move:  Amazon  |  Club Bald Move Other points of discussion; John’s role as The Adversary, the meaning and significance of beating Reggie, what’s up with the goat population of Miracle, anyway, what does Mary’s pregnancy mean, the law of conservation of the 9,261 being observed, and much much more, including a robust feedback section.  See you next week.
