TV is Awesome Podcast: Discussion of The Leftovers S3E3 Crazy Whitefella Thinking

 We're starting a band and calling it Christopher Sunday! 

In our conversation over drinks, we discuss all of the awesome things in this episode: Kevin Sr., 5 minutes of Christopher Sunday, soliloquys, swearing, arks, Grace, medicine, cheese, Eddie Rabbit, using a pen to rewind your cassette tape, having purpose and finding your own Personal Jesus, preferably lounge-style.

TV is Awesome Podcast BONUS EPISODE: Reply All and The Vanishing at The Cecil Hotel

To sum up both topics: *sad face emoji* and *shocked face emoji*

And really what else is there to say? Well, plenty as it turns out. I mean, did anyone think we wouldn't talk a LOT about these things? 

Our overall disappointment with what's happening in Reply All Land and our overall fascination with the Elisa Lam story are fully discussed in the first of what we hope is many Bonus Episodes. 

That elevator video!

We don't think you should stay here.


TV is Awesome Podcast: The Leftovers S3E2 Discussion Don't Be Ridiculous

Well, RIP Tower Guy/ Platform Dude/ Pillar Man... we hardly knew ya. But we know enough to know that Virgil is not around to help you this time, and we don't think you'll be singing Homeward Bound in that hotel bar. As always, a Nora-centric episode gives us all the goods - lots of discussions and revelations, some laughs, some tears and a LOT of soul searching. Listen as we discuss Mark Linn-Baker as himself! Mostly! Did the scientists actually figure out how to get where the 2% went? Nora and Erika ARE besties! We see Lily, Kevin & Nora maybe aren't as okay as they are pretending, technology is against Nora, and of course, lots of Wu Tang Clan. Also, can holy balls be busted? And of course, we're going to Australia!

TV is Awesome Podcast Discussion: S3E1 The Book of Kevin/ Is This Where the Fucked Up People Live

WE MADE IT! Season 3 Episode 1 where we are getting at least AN answer about why does Kevin keep not dying? A theory... a pretty strong theory proposed by some of his closest peeps. Turns out, his peeps are very interested in the story of how he met Lori (and we're all like, who cares?) because they are writing the Book of Kevin. Matt and friends are convinced Kevin is divine? magic? only in Miracle? This is some big news, especially from newly-bespectacled John who now I guess agrees some weird, unexplainable shit does happen in Miracle. Evie! Birds! Future Nora! Baldie is back! A baptism that doesn't count! And Jill summing up all of The Leftovers with her fabulous greeting:  Is this where all the fucked up people live? 

Yes, Jill. Yes.

TV is Awesome: S2E10 Finale I Live Here Now (Don't We All??)

 Well, well, well... it's the return of the No Name Dog! Finally! We made it to the Season 2 Finale everyone! That's a good time to bring the dog back... and then watch him run off into the night to eventually rule the world (foreshadowing!). Listen as we discuss Kevin confessing to John that he saw Evie the night she disappeared and he knows because he died. Then of course John shoots him. But none of that matters because Evie is on the bridge with Meg's Bomb-Camper! Also, Donna Moss wakes up for real (!), Nora almost loses Lily, Miracle become mayhem, Kevin dies, sings and comes back... again.

TV is Awesome Podcast Discussion of The Leftovers S2E9: Ten Thirteen or MEG!!!!

Well, some pieces are coming together in this episode... big pieces!... some pieces we didn't even know we needed! Meg, we hardly knew ye! Listen as we discuss meeting past Meg and Meg's Mom (!) the day before the departure, Meg's fun coke use, her first trip to Jardin, Psychic Isaac is FOR REALZ*, Meg and Evie eating carrots. Then meeting recent/ now Meg throwing a grenade on a school bus full of kids (*shocked face emoji*), are Meg and Tommy the new Super Couple? Teg? Mommy? (ewwww but maybe appropriate?). Speaking of Mommy, Tommy finally let's Lori have it and calls her out for leaving her family. Lori handled that in the most Lori way ever.

So.Much.To.Discuss!

*Full Disclosure: I had to Google Isaac's name for the millionth time.

TV is Awesome Podcast: The Leftovers Discussion S2E8 The International Assassin is Thirsty

For a show where we endlessly talk about how real the reactions are to the departure, this is an episode that is really, let's just say, out there. But still fantastic! Kevin is dead, in the other world (or AN other world), unknowingly (?) chose to be an international assassin, talking to his dad in Australia through a TV, and cuts his hand (clean that, Kevin!). Dickhead Neil. Why is Donna Moss there?? And little Patti is heartbreaking.

DON'T DRINK THE WATER!
