#111 - Watching LOST for the First Time (with Amanda White)
Thanks to some technical difficulties, this week’s episode is a little different than usual. And by “technical difficulties,” I mean I caused my own problem. And by “little different than usual,” I’m gonna say I mean “a very special episode.” Or perhaps I’ll let you decide. Because I did not have a new episode ready for you today, I’m releasing a conversation that was previously for Patreon members only. My good friend (and good friend of the show), Amanda White, has begged me for years to watch her beloved favorite show, LOST. Yes, if you’ve ever wondered, Who hasn’t seen LOST? it was me. But back in 2020, when the state of the world gave me a little more time to binge things I’d missed, I decided I was finally going to watch it. And so I watched the first half of the first season of LOST—and then Amanda couldn’t take it anymore. We had to discuss and debrief! The sound quality of this episode is not quite up to 2022 standards, we randomly talk about gun control for a minute, and I’m genuinely sorry we use the term “druggie” to refer to an addict. Truly sorry about that one. But if you’ve been wishing for an unedited, rambling conversation between friends about an iconic TV series from the early 2000s, first of all, who even are you? and second of all, this episode is for you! Here goes! DON’T FORGET: Join The Couch on Facebook! It’s so much fun! Find Amanda on Goodreads, Instagram, or at ohamanda.com. And you can find me on Instagram at @marycarver or at marycarver.com.
