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…

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!

This weeks episode answers some questions of a beloved, and not so beloved character. First, we learn about Charlie’s rock star background, his brother, and how he turned into a junkie.
Then, we turn our attention to Sawyer and explore his life as a con man and what childhood event turned him to that choice of “career.” There’s talk about the “Skater” fans and a pretty severe torture scene.
