To celebrate the 10 Year Anniversary of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ben & Matt decided to take a look back at the highs and lows of the last decade, as well as industry and competitor reaction to the notion of a shared universe and the state of superhero movies in general.
This podcast was recorded before the release of Avengers: Infinity War but does contain spoilers for everything leading up to it. Continue reading Ben & Matt’s Marvellous Journey Episode 19: MCU 10 Year Anniversary
Ana Lucia Cortez is one of the most hated characters in LOST history. After watching her first flashback episode, it isn’t hard to figure out why. Our hosts discuss the curious case of Ana Lucia, what went wrong, and some parallels to the character of Kate. The other flashback catches us up on the lives of Tailies in the first 48 days on the island, putting some missing pieces of the puzzle together in the process. As a bonus, you get more discussion on the band Staind than your probably expected or wanted. Continue reading From Broadcast Depth Episode 16: ‘The Other 48 Days’ & ‘Collision’
The Reel World’s long-standing tradition of listicles discussing the latest superhero movies continues… with a twist. Ben & Matt couldn’t quite settle on a singular list so instead decided to bombard you with lots of them! A list of lists, if you will, ranging from Top Musical Cues to Best Villains, from Biggest Continuity Issues to the low-hanging fruit of the best Avenger, Hawkeye’s Best Moments. Continue reading Ben & Matt’s Big List of MCU Lists
The bond between the Tailies and raft survivors grows more strongly as Michael looks for Walt and Sawyer’s gunshot wound worsens. In our flashbacks, the Korean class system can’t stop a meet cute, and Shannon’s step Mom totally sucks. We also deal with our second Island death which makes things on the Island very awkward as our two groups grow closer to meeting. Continue reading From Broadcast Depth Episode 15: ‘… And Found’ & ‘Abandoned’
It’s a fan favorite team up this week with Locke and Hurley as the focus of our two flashbacks, with some of the biggest cameos to date! Locke is ready to put his father behind him – or is he? Hurley discovers he hates change when the lottery affects his closest friendship. On the island, the show changes forever when we discover the origins of the Hatch and the reasoning behind it’s existence. The Hatch also brings a new segment to the show – The Books of LOST! Continue reading From Broadcast Depth Episode 14: ‘Orientation’ & ‘Everybody Hates Hugo’
The Season 2 premiere brings a whole bunch of new toys to the LOST universes sandbox. What’s in the hatch, or should we say, WHO is in the hatch? What happened to our pals on the raft? And whether you cared about it or not, you get more of Jack and Sarah in a flashback! Plus, the dangers of throwing Easter eggs in a show which breeds the most die hard of super fans. Continue reading From Broadcast Depth Episode 13: ‘Man of Science, Man of Faith’ & ‘Adrift’
The Season 1 finale is here! This king-sized episode covers the three-part finale in great detail. The raft is ready to set sail, a plan is put into motion to crack open the hatch, but those plans may be thwarted by those pesky ‘Others’ Rousseau has warned us about. In the flashback, we see how a number of survivors’ days began right before they boarded Flight Oceanic 815. This episode also provides The Most Important Conversation In The Show™. Kevin and Ben wrap up the season with overall thoughts and a look into the bonus features and deleted scenes from the DVD and Blu-Ray. Join us for over two hours of discussion as we reach our first podcast milestone! Continue reading From Broadcast Depth Episode 12: ‘Exodus’ Parts 1-3
The raft is just about ready to set sail, and a few more survivors find out about the hatch, but first Boone needs to be laid to rest, figuratively and literally. We also discover why Sayid was on Oceanic Flight 815 and Kate gets the shaft yet again in another bad flashback. At least it’s better than “Whatever The Case May Be.” We’re one episode away from the Season 1 finale, so things are getting cooking as we get closer to the finish line. Continue reading From Broadcast Depth Episode 11: ‘The Greater Good’ & ‘Born to Run’
This week, Kevin and Ben say farewell to the first major player in LOST whose time on the Island has come to an end. As this podcast reaches double digits, a few key moments occur as LOST heads to the end of its first season. Locke once upon a time told Walt his Dad was not “a cool guy”, and as you’ll find out, that turns out to be a huge understatement (spoiler: his Mom isn’t so great either.) Not nearly as interesting is Jack’s wedding day, which belongs somewhere more akin to the Hallmark channel than it does LOST, gets it’s own burial of sorts on this weeks episode too. Continue reading From Broadcast Depth Episode 10: ‘Deus Ex Machina’ & ‘Do No Harm’
Ah, yes, THE numbers. Hurley’s first flashback episode (finally!) gives us six numbers that dramatically shape the show forever, and add a new segment to the podcast. Without a doubt, is it one of the most crucial (and fun) episodes of the first season. Jin also fills in the blanks of the first flashback episode with Sun and himself, and wouldn’t ya know it? Not all is what it seems! After this week, no episode of From Broadcast Depth will be the same again.
Continue reading From Broadcast Depth Episode 9: ‘…In Translation’ & ‘The Numbers’
