Talkin' Lost Episode 21 - Born to Run

Feb 02 2025 22 mins

Penultimate episode time people! The last episode before the Season 1 finale. Despite it being the third Kate backstory we've gotten this season, there is a certain level of resolution that comes here. Kate's not a problematic character, but more so a victim of circumstance, as the decision to keep Jack alive rather than kill him off like in the original pilot script forced

Episode 249 - Top 10 TV Shows 2024

Jan 27 2025 114 mins

And with that, the 2024 recaps are complete! I know it's in our title header, but this was a WEIRD year for TV to say the least. Especially because it felt like for our top 10's, it was more like we were justifying their places on the list rather than praising them. The strikes hit hard this year, and TV's always been more of a personal medium than film. So with that be

We're almost to the finish line! The first one, at least. Our third to last episode for Season 1, The Greater Good, follows the fall out from Boone's death.

Only took us 2 weeks into January, but we finally arrived with our top 10 favorite movies of 2024! Unlike every other critic in a rush to get their top 10 of the year out by December, we always wait until January in order to give us time to catch up on some ones we may have missed. Dom is joined by Dustin and first time to the channel, long time Youtube Movie Fan Chris Narine aka T

Talkin' Lost Episode 19 - Do No Harm

Jan 19 2025 20 mins

We're getting closer and closer to the end of the run, and just when I thought we had the best episode of the season so far, we've got another one. Do No Harm, a crucially important episode for a lot of different reasons, but namely that we witness the first major character departure on the show: Boone Carlyle, portrayed by Ian Somerhalder. The episode features around Jack attempti

BONUS EPISODE - 97th Academy Awards Predictions

Jan 17 2025 91 mins

BOOM! That's right, surprise episode. Right at the end of the week too. In fairness, this was supposed to be right before the Oscar nominations dropped, but now all of LA is on fire, so they got delayed to next week. Dom is joined by his team of Oscar's experts, comprised of Kristen, Dustin, Nathaniel and channel newcomer Justin Jaeger aka Brother Bro of the Oscar Expert Channel! T

Jan 13 2025 82 mins

Wow we haven't done one of these in awhile. The next in our 2024 year end wrap lists, and we're doing a worst of list. The last time I did one of these was for 2021. But a special kind a year requires a special kind of list. Dom is joined by Luk, Kristen & Mac, newly engaged, to break down the suckiest of the suck, the absolute worst that 2024 movies had to offer, and boy were

Jan 12 2025 18 mins

We're back with the last 5 episodes of Talkin' Lost! As we begin our wrap up run of Season 1, we bring it back to one John Locke, and discover that, despite the island magically restoring his ability to walk, that he had one tragic event happen to him after another. Not too many people have their absentee parents con them out of a kidney at almost 50. It's the final countdown as we

Episode 246 - Top 10 Movies of the 2020's (so far) (Season 7 Premiere)

Jan 06 2025 74 mins

Holy shit. Here we are. 7 seasons. 2025. New year, new rules. How are we actually here. I have this theory that everytime we enter a new year, we enter a new dimension. But we are somehow 5 years post Covid, which means that we are halfway through the 2020's as a decade, which means that it's time to count down our ten favorite movies of the decade so far! Dom is joined by Kristen,
