Lost On Lost

A Tale of Two Cities - Handcuffed to the French Press

What are these two cities? Is one of them where Jack is in a cage? Or Sawyer is in a cage? Or Kate is in a cage? Our heroes spend some quality time behind bars and we spend some quality time dunking on them. This week Adam and JP are joined by Nick Schreiter (aka Mr. Shaina Desotelle) as they navigate the waters of Jack’s divorce. If you think he was crazy BEFORE he was stranded on a jungle island, just wait until you see how he acts around the woman he “loves.” Yes, that means Julie Bowen is here. No, that does not mean she saves the episode. 
Take that Doc (tor Jack Shepard) Brown!

Collision - A Tender Smooch on Either Cheek

When the cats are away, JP and Adam will talk about Layer Cake and then have to cut it from the episode. No guest this week, as the boys are on a solo mission to figure out why Ana Lucia Cortez was even on Lost in the first place. In this, the second and final Ana Lucia-centric episode, nary a redeeming quality is discovered, but they have fun looking, I suppose.
Despite the whole "Ana Lucia sucks" thing, Collision has a lot going for it. Island golf, rad pants, dog reunions, and cinematography that can occasionally be described as "vaseline-y". And despite the centric character being a murderer, the episode is actually kinda good. OR IS IT? Only one way to find out! Listen now, LoLheads!

Orientation - Mr. Eko Will Cut a B**CH

Fan of the show and full time Lost fact researcher, Chris Watters joins Adam and JP as they sit through Orientation. The guys tread a lot of familiar ground in this episode; Locke has a depressing past, Jack is insane, and Sayid is the only adult on the island. However they get to spend a lot of time talking about how much they love Katey Sagal.  Our cast of characters broke their new friend Desmond's toy and they need to fix it before the countdown finishes. What happens when the countdown finishes? Who knows?!
 

Special - We get it! You can read.

Jenny Hoks joins the LoLdom to talk about what makes Walt special! JP, Adam, and Jenny get their cardio in by following the survivors as they wander aimlessly from the beach to the jungle and back. It's season 1, so most of the survivors still kinda suck at surviving (Except Sun, Jin, Hurley, and Sayid. Obv.), and we don't have Mr. Eko to intimidate them into not sucking. We got pencils for art projects, deodorant for first prize, and plenty of references to a certain 1998 Brad Pitt vehicle. You know the one.
Heh. Vehicle.
Make sure to look both ways, because here comes Special!

Born To Run - Probably Check Fraud

Micah Pollard joins JP & Adam for a quick lap through the aqueduct on Born To Run! What Kate did continues to haunt her, (and the LoLdom) as she tries to reconnect with Aunt Zelda, and the kid from Iron Will. Plenty of subterfuge and crummy cops abound in this, the penultimate episode of Lost season 1.
Who's in charge of safety meetings on Survivor Beach? Which one is Scott, or Steve, or whoever? Is there a convincing way to shoot Hawaii as Iowa?
All those questions, and no answers for them, coming up to your ears right NOW!

Deus Ex Machina - Pit Viper

This week Adam and JP are joined by special guest Freddy Nick to discuss Deus Ex Machina.  God from the machine eh? Is that machine the trebuchet? This episode needed more trebuchets.
Sweet Baby Boi John Locke has a hatch adventure with future dead guy Boone. We tackle Locke's questionable life choices, questionable clothing choices, and his questionable hair styles (that is definitely not a wig).
Does Sawyer actually know how to read?
Will Goldie Survive?
Will NERF sponsor the show?
Tune in to find out!
Hey Eddie, how's the family?

Three Minutes - HOLE (All Caps)

Adam and JP spend more than three minutes talking about this one. The guys are joined by resident singer, dancer, and LOST in the woods expert, Shaina Desotelle. 
Michael Dawson proves once again that the "world's best dad" mug is earned, not given.
Charlie rids the island of drugs (and catholicism?).
The crew tries to decode Sawyer's bad nicknames.
And we talk about a totally not topical subject... vaccines!
We'll see you in the funny pages (whatever the hell that means). 

Solitary - HOW!?

Lost On Lost can drink, baby! Grab yourself a room temp Capri Sun, and join JP and Adam on a quick mapping expedition of Solitary! Resident Assistant Director-at-large Chris tries his best to keep the boys focused, but can't help cracking a few zingers of his own. Who hates Jack? That'd be Chris. Who loves Locke? That'd be JP. Who misses Jin? That'd be Adam. Who thinks Rousseau is weird? That'd be everyone. Good weird? Maybe. Bad weird? No such thing.
We're talking golf, rashes, and, hotel bedding, folks.
Alone again? Naturally.* It's SOLITARY!
 
*Apologies to Gilbert O'Sullivan.

White Rabbit - He Can‘t Even Drown Right

Resident Lost enthusiast and riptide expert Chrissy Ruiz joins Adam and JP on an adventure down the rabbit hole. White Rabbit has more than just Bad Jefferson Airplane puns; it has water thievery, kid fights, and haunted dolls. What could be cooler than that? (Other than wearing a suit with sneakers... that's top tier cool)
Where are the flotation devices?
Does Boone have a thought behind his eyes?
Will Joanna make the swim team?
Tune in and find out.
My ghost dad went out for smokes 25 years ago, but he'll be back when he hears this episode of Lost on Lost!

The Other 48 Days - We‘re Gonna Talk About That F*#&ing Knife

Do you like flashbacks? OF COURSE YOU DO! Everyone likes flashbacks! Join JP, Adam, and Coach B on the nickel tour of the shittier half of the Island. We finally get proper introductions to those fan-favorite Lost characters: Cindy the flight attendant, broken leg guy, and Nathan.
Oh yeah, and Bernard, Mr. Eko, Libby, and Ana Lucia.
Everyone who didn't watch 45 year old reruns of Saturday Night Live during the pandemic, please take a step forward.
Not so fast, Coach. It's The Other 48 Days!

The 23rd Psalm - The Honey Badger of Footwear

It's taken 18 episodes but we have finally arrived at a Mr Eko Episode! Adam and JP are joined by musical genius and resident kilometer expert, Mike Traylor.  
Does Goldie have a CDL?
Does the Catholic Church still cover their planes in Gilded Platinum?
Will JP meet his quota of talking about Stone Cold Steve Austin?
There are alive Walts in your area, and they want to answer all these questions for you. 
 

The Glass Ballerina - I Have That Same Dress

This week Adam and JP are joined by Jacob Oller.  Jacob is the Lost on Lost resident expert on chess, mobisodes, and wood nymphs. Good thing we could book him because this episode has all three.
The Glass Ballerina centers around the backstory of everyone's favorite island couple, Sun and Jin. But more importantly we touch on how many crackers are appropriate for a bowl of soup.
We also talk about another installment in the Lost Missing Pieces collection. This week we have King of the Castle.
GUYS... the plane crashed 69 days ago... nice.
