Lost: Down the Hatch | Season 3 Episode 14: “Exposé”

Lost: Down the Hatch | Season 3 Episode 14: “Exposé” Razzle dazzle! Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) take on the most polarizing episode in “Lost” history: “Exposé.” In “Exposé,” we finally get the flashback episode we were always waiting for: Nikki and Paulo, fresh from stealing some diamonds, on their way toward being buried alive. It’s an apology letter writ large as an episode of television. Some people love it. Some people hate it. Josh and Mike talk through both points and dig their way through the controversial wreckage. About Down the Hatch … LOST: Down the Hatch is a full-tilt spoiler-filled rewatch of LOST. Every week, Josh and Mike break down an episode of LOST with the benefit of knowing the series’ full trajectory, using the following structure as a guide: • We Go “Fourth” – Josh and Mike begin each podcast with a deep-dive into the story both in front of and behind the camera, and they do so with the assistance of eight sound clips from each episode. • The Others – Josh and Mike answer questions sent their way by listeners through the official e-mail address: [email protected] • 23 Points – Each week, Josh and Mike hand out points for the best and worst characters of the episode in question, in a foolhardy attempt to determine the most and least valuable players in the LOST pantheon. • 4.2 Stars – Josh and Mike rank every episode of LOST, by rating them all on a scale from 0 – 4.2. Josh and Mike offer their individual scores, listeners’ scores will be averaged as a third data point, then the three points combine as the podcast’s official score on each episode.
