The Lost Broadcasts: A Podcast About Lostalikes

Episode 35 - Kings

After a disappointing start, the "miscellaneous block" continues with a show Esther remembers as being an AV Club favorite back in the day. Kings is a strange and nearly indescribable genre gumbo that retells the Biblical story of David in a fictional modern-day kingdom. Is Kings a secret Goliath? Or did it bean us in the head with its slingshot? Listen here to find out! Tune in for discussion of The Long Walk, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, and GATH.

Episode 34 - The Nine

Despite everything, it’s still The Lost Broadcasts. A new block begins, made up of miscellaneous shows that don’t really relate to each other. Will Hannah and Esther give The Nine a nine out of ten? Or will it be nine out of 50, or even 100? Oh, and feel free to skip to 15:48 to get to the start of the episode proper. We get it. Tune in for discussion of death rolls, Crash, and Survivor.

Episode 33 - The Prisoner

Our long podcast nightmare is finally over. The Adaptations Block concludes this month with a look at a TV-to-TV transformation, a miniseries remake of one of the greatest shows ever to grace the small screen. It’s AMC’s 2009 version of The Prisoner! Can Hannah and Esther escape the Village? Or will they divulge the secret reason for their resignation? Listen now to learn! Tune in for discussion of Drag-On Dragoon, Double Team, and Williams.

Episode 32 - Frequency

We're still stuck in the dangerous waters of Adaptation Bay... it's a battle of inches, people. This month, we're talking about a 2016 adaptation of Frequency, a mildly-seen, mildly-liked, mildly-remembered grenre drama movie from 2000. What could go wrong? Lots, it turns out. We're diving into a mystifying series of low-stakes bad choices here. Tune in for discussion of epic fat friends, Warlord Sullivan's blimp flotilla, and Aerion Brightflame.

Episode 31 - Night Stalker

The adaptations block rolls on, and this time we’re talking about a remake of….the original Lostalike?? Kolchak: The Night Stalker was a short-lived but brilliant 70s series that inspired generations of genre television. Will its 2005 reboot have the same impact? Tune in to find out! Tune in for discussion of TV Guide, the new Pittsburgh NBA franchise, and Codejak.
