Ben & Matt are back to review this outrageously expensive glorious mess of superhero nonsense in an episode that just about manages to be shorter than the runtime of the film itself. All hail the Age of Robert California!

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.

Want to hear what it sounds like when Matt doesn’t get to do as much preparation as he’d like and has a mouth full of pasta when he and Ben start recording a podcast about Guardians of the Galaxy? Of course you do, you’re a person!

Oh you didn’t know? This is the second episode of From Broadcast Depth where episodes featuring Charlie and Sawyer are discussed. We take a look back at Charlie’s attempt to settle down and come clean and why that went awry.
Then, Sawyer travels to Australia in the hunt for the man who killed his daddy, and ends up breaking liquid bread with somebody else’s daddy. Josh Holloway gives a breakout performance in one of the best episodes of the season.

Despite some audio issues and a format that rapidly got away from them, Ben & Matt were just about able to discuss one of the best reviewed movies under the Marvel banner, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and even managed to weigh in on the ‘Who is the best Chris?’ debate for good measure. Continue reading Ben & Matt’s Marvellous Journey Episode 9 – Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Four survivors get their first flashback treatment this week! Not all is what it seems when Boone goes to “save” Shannon from an abusive boyfriend in the Outback, nor is all what it seems when he rescues her from a boar attack in the jungle. We discover what led to Michael and Walt reuniting and some of the strange activity that has occurred in Walt’s life, and more on the comic book with the polar bear.

Mike Thomas and Jerome Cusson debated the 2017 Academy Award Best Picture Nominees in the form of a podcast. Deciding this year it was best to spare Matt Waters the extra hosting duties give his many Reel World responsibilities (wordplay!), we decided that this year we would discuss the nominees on (figurative) paper instead. After devising a secret formula to rank the nine nominees, we have come up with a definitive order for the Oscar films, ranked worst to best. Without further ado…
9. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Bring a duvet and pillows because it’s time to discuss a film that even Thor mega-fan, Matt Waters, would describe as dull. Nevertheless, he and Ben Phillips endeavour to get an hour of fun discussion out of it and are helped out tremendously by the famously troubled production history of the film. Continue reading Ben & Matt’s Marvellous Journey Episode 8 – Thor: The Dark World
Jack becomes the first character to receive a second flashback as we explore how he and his father clashed professionally and the issues it caused between them.
Boone and Locke also make a major discovery in the jungle. Unfortunately, for those who waited an entire month to find out what that was on the next episode, they would be let down with the worst episode of the first season and no further explanation as to what that discovery was. At least the music at the end is good? We’re halfway done with Season One! Continue reading From Broadcast Depth Episode 6: ‘All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues’ & ‘Whatever The Case May Be’
Boy do we have the perfect way to spend Valentine’s Day for you! The Reel World’s podcast documenting the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe pays tribute to the site’s founder, Mike Thomas, in its seventh episode by mounting a highly controversial defence of the largely detested Iron Man 3. Contrarians, ho!
