Summary
“Guys… where are we?” In this episode, we introduce Pilot Program, our brand new series where we review significant television series debuts. For our pilot episode, we have to go back– all the way back to 2004 for the premiere of the cultural juggernaut Lost. Join us in the middle section of Oceanic Flight 815 as we chat about sliding door castings, why there will never be another viewing experience like Lost, and whose careers took off after Lost and whose crashed and burned. While we don’t answer “what’s with the ending?” we do ponder if people as attractive as Shannon and Boone should be trusted.
MENTIONS

Join us over at The Bible Binge where we look at movies through a faith lens (we’re in the MCU now), debate faith-adjacent things in society that are favored or forsaken, and chat about familiar and obscure stories found in scripture with equal parts humor and insight.
