Flashback - A LOST Podcast: Recent Episodes
Flashback
Jay and Andy were two of the millions who watched LOST every week from 2004-2010, and spent six years wondering about its mysteries, theorising how the plot would unfold, and fangirling over Sawyer.
Join us as we journey back to the Island to revisit LOST episode by episode!
Well, this is it... In this special final episode, we look back on the whole show, our favourite memories of both LOST and Flashback, and we determine once and for all who is the real MVP of the Island. Thanks so much to everyone for listening, and see you somewhere else real soon! - Jay and Andy
It's our final season review as we tackle the highs, the lows and the long dreary middles of Season 6. We also check in with Rob who's just finished Lost for the first time, and give out our final set of Flashies. It's a bumper week!
It's finally time! After 6 long seasons of polar bears, hatches, dynamite, shipwrecks, smoke monsters, sonic fences, freighters, cages, time flashes, and Nikki and Paulo... we are finally at The End. Join us for a bumper length discussion of Lost's epic finale.
It's a packed episode as we rocket towards the finale. This week we bid a fond farewell to Danielle, a chilling cheerio to Charles, and a satisfied see-ya to Zoe. One week to go!
We finally tackle one of Lost's most infamous episodes, as the backstory to the show's two most vital characters - Zoe and Paulo - is revealed. Just kidding. Jay and Andy head back thousands of years to discuss the story of backgammon, betrayal and bonks on the head.
Welp, here we go. It's a week of bombs, bangs, broken backs, and bloody brilliance. Join us for a chat and a cry. We'll get through it together.
It's a packed episode this week with a big Losties boat trip, a little ton of Littleton family drama, and the odd missile attack. Just a few episodes left!
Another step closer to the end with a lovely Hurley episode. Warning: contains mild spoilers for bad WIll Smith movies.
It's a whole week in sideways world! We've got car crashes, nice guy Charles, dubious discussions of medical equipment, and most importantly, SAYID.
Don't worry guys, after a torturous absence last week, FINALLY Zoe is back. Also we once again demonstrate our total lack of medical qualifications as Sun develops a plot-irrelevanr sickness, and Widmore delivers a plot-relevant package.
Guys, where are we? The answer, Charlie, is Tenerife. At last we're exploring our favourite ageless Other as the answers start coming thick and fast, and Andy and Jay find themselves struggling not to gush. It's a good one, guys.
This week it's CSI: Sideways as Detectives Ford and Straume solve such mysteries as: who's that woman trying to commit murder without a weapon in front of dozens? Who's that dreadful liar with a bunch of bodies? And most importantly, who stole the plot?
Jay and Andy have a lot positive to say about this Ben-centric episode, Season 6 is finally starting to pick up steam!
This week we have Sayid's final flashback, and we all know how much of a barrel of laughs they are! The boys also make a shocking connection between LOST and a terrible movie that leaves them stunned.
Claire properly returns this week and has gone through some... changes? Outside of that it's a big episode of Jacob answers and Dad Jack.
Jay and Andy chat about a good episode this week but still manage to get sidetracked talking about heavy metal songs and workplace law.
If you wanted to find out what Kate does in What Kate Does, our discussion of What Kate Does should fill you in on exactly what Kate does in What Kate Does. We also welcome back Claire and our favourite deceased baby doctor (apart from Juliet!).
Flashback is FlashBACK. After a short break we are straight into the final season of LOST, dealing with the big issues in the show like venn diagrams and pizza toppings.
A bonus episode where we talk about the good the bad and the "why the hell did they make that" of LOST merchandise from the shows run.
It's our Season 5 blowout where we give our overall thoughts on the season, chat to our friend Rob, and as always dole out our prestigious Flashies!
There's a lot of bombshells in this episode, as relationships explode, Jacob arrives with a bang, and a war erupts with The Man in Black. Join us for the long-awaited Season 5 finale! This episode is the bomb.
There's plots on plots on plots this week, Sawyer gets beaten up like days of old and we get much too sidetracked discussing the finer distinctions of nuclear bombs.
It's a story within a story this week as Daniel blows secrets, Jack blows up motor pools, and Fionnula Flanagan blows our minds. As does Jay's vocabulary.
By listening to this podcast, you are being invited to the Circle of Trust. Within, you will find discussions of panda poop, ghostbusting and Tru Calling. You are now a member of the Circle of Trust.
Flashback's 100th episode! We celebrate with lots of Monster discussion alongside some juicy Ben storytelling, and Jay won't stop banging on about the one theory he got right.
This week we have a LOT of time travel questions, a whole lot of feelings on old friends overstepping, and a fond farewell to our youngest Lostie.
It's a little more like old LOST this week with a Sayid episode containing actual flashbacks. Also child murder, which is less fun.
It's full steam ahead into the DHARMA Initiative, new characters are abound, we talk a lot about magic and water, and Andy hits Jay with a quiz about 1977.
Oh Sawyer... From conman, to reluctant nice guy, to everyone's favourite security chief, you've won our heart. Join us this week to talk more about one of Lost's most satisfying character journeys, along with useless fences, rubbish physicists, and a disastrous picnic.
This week we tackle we happened to John Locke after he left the island. And what happened to him AFTER after he left the island. Confused? Season 5 yo!
It's very much "we have to go Jack!" this week. If you like Jack, Jack and more Jack, boy is this one a treat. And if you just want to get back to the Island, our hearts are with you. In the meantime, let's discuss youthful grandparents, absent mothers and departing Desmonds.
It's a treasure trove of Lost mythology this week, as we dig into Montana's arm, Danielle's backstory, the temple, time-travelling dead fathers, and the importance of clear signage in Dharma stations.
THIS PODCAST IS DEATH!
[NOTE: Some audio issues in this one we're afraid, hopefully not too bad, we'll be back on track next week] One of LOSTs biggest unanswered questions is explored this week while Kate is investigated by the most cartoonishly evil lawyer ever.
This week on LOST, there's a nuclear bomb hanging around, but our main characters are surprisingly chill about it. Plus even more terrible cockney accents!
Season 5 is already heating up, Jay and Andy tackle a Hurley episode full of lies, shih-tzus and nosy cashiers.
The question isn't WHICH season we've started, but WHEN season we've started. LOST is about to get wacky y'all, and Jay and Andy are hitting the ground running with discussion of teleportation, fate, and airport security.
Remember back in 2007, when Lost released a bunch of mini episodes to view on your Motorola RAZR in between your Crazy Frog and your Avril Lavigne? In this bonus episode, we revisit the good, the bad and the Michael of Lost's Missing Pieces.
It's that time again! It's been a season of bangs, boats, barracks, and Ben - and the odd time-travelling Scotsman. Join Jay and Andy to look back on Lost's wild fourth season, with another chat from newcomer Rob and the all-important season awards (the Flashies?).
It's an absolute treasure trove this week as the flashforwards become flash....nows (?), boats go boom-boom, and Jay doesn't know what a helicopter or a flower are.
We're building up to the season 4 finale with a lot of character development, some crying over musical themes, and Hurley's parents really not getting it, dude.
Locke! Richard! Cabins! Keamy! Michael! Emily! Cooper! Ben and Hurley! Appendicitis! Flashbacks!
And some plot.
Hands up who wants to watch Jack get his appendix removed. Nobody? Oh well, that's what you're getting this week. Plus mansplaining and chloroform.
It's all systems go this week! The action starts ramping up as Jay and Andy discuss death, explosions and Risk.
It's cameo central this week as we spend a whole week with our dear departed double murderer, culminating in the tragic end of a water bottle and one deeply disappointing farewell.
Boy, if you love fishing, awkward Daniel, and Captain Gault, is this the episode for you!? There's also a whole lot of baby drama to dig into this week with a (shock horror!) side of Michael.
Hot off the heels of one of the best episodes of the show comes... this one. We were just thinking LOST didn't have enough soap-opera infidelity drama, so here we go...
It's the big one this week! Time travel is here to stay as Jay and Andy discuss whether or not Lost's Best Episode lives up to the name all these years later.
Here's three things neither of us are experts on: courtroom proceedings, cancer diagnoses, and maternal longing. Will we talk the hell out of them anyway? You can count on it.
This week the boys are all over Sayid, with chats about island grooming, vets, and the merits (or lack thereof) of a popular sport...
Oh hi Daniel! This week we chat all about our brand new characters, how common firearms are in the US, plus Andy and Jay have their own flashback scene to watching this episode in high school.
Our Christmas break is over and we return to the Island to take you through Season 4! This week, we have a miraculous resurrection, a beach camp bisection and fun fact: this was recorded moments before the insurrection.
Once there was a LOST video game. And it was bad. Bonus episode where Jay and Andy play and tear apart the LOST game with its bad accents, bad gameplay and bad island economics.
Time for a recap of the rollercoaster that was season 3! We do our Flashback season awards and catch up again with LOST newbie Rob for his thoughts.
WE HAVE TO GO BAAAAACK... to what is probably the best episode of this season, and maybe even the show as a whole. Join us for action, death, rescue, and the Beach Boys.
You're swimmin', Charleh... Yes, it's that sad occasion where we pay tribute to our favourite Island bassist. Join us as we discuss encounters in the Night and Day Bar, the joy of Butlins, and the hotly anticipated return of the legendary Karl... It just wasn't Lost without him.
It's a right corker this week as we finally get to know our favourite wide-eyed DHARMA traitor! Join us as we discuss Carlton Cuse's voice, Nestor Carbonell's clothing, Mikhail's bloodied face, and Annie's identity (hint: she's a Tailie).
This week on Flashback it's all about Locke and Sawyer on a grim quest, with a little bit of Naomi on the side. Season 3 is starting to heat up!
It's at last time for some long-overdue spotlight for our favourite pair of married Losties (sorry, Rose & Bernard)!
This week, we discuss undead Russians, needless acronyms, and a whole bunch of awful parents.
This week, it's a Desmond adventure - and an old Lost debate is finally settled by your friends at Flashback, Andy makes several enemies in the show's production team, and we make sure to enjoy this increasingly rare dose of Jin-time. If you think there's anything wrong with this episode, just teellllll the girrrrrrrl...
NOTE: some slight audio issues on Jay's mic between 10 and 18 mins, sorry about that. You'd think we'd be better at this by now!
Jay and Andy tackle another Juliet episode this week, who is fast becoming a favourite. Also discussed are Noodle Incidents and eating ice-cream in bed.
What's this? A Kate episode that's actually great? Sawyer's heart melting? Monster attacks? Sounds like some prime LOST this week!
What a week this was. If you've been waiting all this time for the most hated characters in the show to be hilariously buried alive after 40 mins of spidery-diamondy-flashbacky murder mystery nonsense, this is absolutely the episode for you.
At long last, we find out how Locke ended up in that damned wheelchair, and Jay and Andy heap more deserved praise on Michael Emerson.
When I was, a young girl, my mother, took me into the city, to have a massive car crash...
She said someday, you'll grow up, and you'll be, the island's token mother, and the subject of a podcast...
This week on Flashback we have a fun romp on the island with eyepatches, computers and explosions, juxtaposed with a truly turgid Sayid flashback. This one gets a bit ranty!
Well it's here. Andy and Jay chat about whether the fabled "worst episode of LOST" lives up to it's name. Spoilers: it does. And then some.
Season 3 is finally starting to pick up! An episode long bonanza of Desmond and time travel, along with some drunken British singing!
The mini-season is behind us and we're straight in with a brand new character flashback in Juliet. She does it all, medical miracles, shooting bad guys, helping the Losties. Maybe she's not so bad after all!
We've finally slogged our way through the dreaded mini-season and have reached its end, where not even the blessing of a Nathan Fillion appearance can save a pretty dreary Kate episode. Also tacos.
Is there an Eko in here? Well, there is, but not for much longer. This week, we see that Juliet enjoyed Love Actually, we learn that TV screens can display images (!!!), and Paulo takes a dump. Early season 3, y'all.
It's every man for himself in this weeks episode, as Sawyer convinces Kate that it's every man for himself, and Desmond makes a lightning rod because it's every man for himself. Did I mention that it's every man for himself?
This week we watch with sighs as Locke gets blazed, Desmond gets nekkid, and we have the first appearance of LOST's gruesome twosome.
If you've been waiting for the follow-up to that nail-biting Season 2 cliffhanger, this is it... That's right, time to catch up with Sun and Jin on the boat!!!
....no, us neither.
We kick off Season 3 with an almost solid 40 minutes of Jack being difficult! Exciting, right!?!? If that doesn't float your boat we have the welcome arrival of Juliet, and who wouldn't love a cooked breakfast on the beach? Minus the handcuffs.
A bonus episode! In this we chat a little bit about the bizarre segment of the show's history that was the ARG The Lost Experience.
What a season it's been. Tailies, the Michael saga, macho Jack, the world's most enigmatic button, and the odd ghost horse... join us for our Season 2 spectacular where we look back on the highs and lows of the season, and chat with Rob who's watching the show for the first time. Farewell Season 2!
And so season 2 comes to a close with a bombastic classic double episode. Gunfights! Kidnapping! Magnets! Stone feet! And more Desmond than we could have dreamed of. What's not to love? NOTE: Some audio issues in this one, we did our best but there's a slight buzz about an hour in for a while, sorry!
This week we find out what the now-despicable Michael's motives were in the carnage he wrought on the survivors, and Sayid is always right. Again.
Yes, it's that episode that Andy prefers to pronounce as "huh?", in which Dr. Chang regains an arm and the Losties finally pay a visit to that place Nikki and Paulo discovered a whole season ago.
A big episode this week with a shocking twist, as we dig into Ana-Lucia's past a bit more and she crosses paths with Lost's resident alcoholic.
It's the episode we've always wanted - Rose and Bernard step into the spotlight for one week early! Join us as we enjoy an emotional trip to the Outback, the sheer kindness of Jin, the magnificent bastard that is Ben, oh and the UTTER TEDIUM of Jack and Kate.
Hurley gets a new (old?) friend on the island that throws everybody's theories up in the air, plus more industrial sized tubs of ranch and peanut butter than you can shake a Jesus Stick at.
This week on Flashback we get a little more John Locke, some high stakes island poker, but mostly we talk about an infamous map.
Everyone's favs Sun and Jin are back into focus this week with lots of fertility talk and period-accurate South Korean road signs, plus Sayid goes looking for a balloon.
Claire really loves her baybee, OKAY?? Our favourite Aussie goes on an adventure into her memories this week, meanwhile Henry Gale gets spooked by our friendly neighbourhood Mr Eko.
We finally meet one of Lost's most iconic characters this week, as Sayid gives this newcomer a typically Sayid welcome. Also, a tree frog.
It's Saywer Cons 2: Con Harder as Jay and Andy unpick this latest chapter in everybody's favourite outlaw. Jack and Locke cry about each other some more, and Sayid and Hurley get an early glimpse of Season 5...
This week, we struggle to make sense of anything - whether it be character motivations, plotting, or what the hell Charlie's mum is trying to say. Together now..... we caaan be saaaaaaved...
Sorry folks, but it's not a great one this week. It may not be Stranger In A Strange Land, but this week's ep is rather a let down, and we tear it a bit of a new one, while also chatting about Halloween costumes and randomly sassy cameramen.
Mr. Eko finally takes the spotlight and we are loving it. If you like drug lords, sibling deaths, scary pillars of smoke and a healthy dose of hardcore Christianity then boy have we get an episode for you. Umm... well, it's better than it sounds, honestly!
The episode title tells you all you need to know about this episode. Shock horror! Some development on Kate's past? Or just a random horse?
It's our first outing with one of the Tailies this week as Ana Lucia takes centre stage! Sayid mourns Shannon, couples are reunited, and tonight.... is the night.... that two become oooooonnee.....
We take a bit of a break from the main story this we as we're caught up with the story of what the Tailies have been up to during Season 1. It's not pretty!
Jay and Andy spend some more time in the "good Korea" this week as we discover how Sun and Jin met. Plus some creepy Others action. Enjoy!
A silly title really. Who on earth could hate our boy Hugo? Jay and Andy dig deeper into Hurleys past with this one, and compare notes on how many tears they shed at the ending. Warning: you may accidentally learn some history in this episode of Flashback!
The DHARMA Initative, Pierre Chang, Alvar Hanso, the polar bear, the shark, the DeGroots, the Tailies, Jackface... oh, and there was a plot this week, incidentally. Join us for Orientation, a veritable treasure trove of LOST!
THEY TOOK HIM. RIGHT. OUT. OF MY HANDS. This week we catch up with how Michael and Sawyer are faring after the raft incident and we talk a bit about sharks, infections, and where the hell is Shannon?
Season 2 is a go in the world of Flashback! What's in the hatch? What happened to the raft? What's with Jack's haircut? Find out some of this (not all) this week with Jay and Andy!
With the first season done, join us for a recap of the first stage of the journey, complete with a chat with our friend Rob, and the first seasonly Flashback Awards!
It's the season finale! It's time to blow up the hatch, blow up the raft, blow up a beloved castaway, blow up the Monster, and... you get the idea (insert "Season 1 ends with a bang" pun here).
The raft is finally launched, and Rousseau returns! Will our intrepid sailors find rescue? Will the hatch be opened at last this week? And are dogs superior to cats? The answers are no, no and yes. Join us for Part 1 of our Season 1 Finale!
Charlie's guitaring, Jack and Locke are arguing, Michael is building, Kate is running. Standard Lost really! A quick pit stop just before the finale to find out... annoyingly little about our favourite Ms Austen.
Shannon's lost her brother, Shannon's going through a great trauma, and Shannon gets a big plot this week - so yep, you guessed it, it's a Sayid episode! Wait, what?
It's a rough night for the Losties as both tragedy and happiness descend on our merry band. Plus Jay and Andy discuss the mechanics of amputation! Fun!
It's one of our favourite episodes this week as we learn more about the tragic history of Locke, the tragic sexual history of Sawyer, and someone takes a little tumble off a cliff...
4 8 15 16 23 42. Boom. We're dead. One of the more famous elements of the show arrives this week as we finally dig into our boy Hurley's troubled history.
It's finally time for Jin's moment in the spotlight! It's all happening this week - arson attacks, family betrayals, a big reveal, and... Shannon making us all feel awkward. Proudly not sponsored by Vanish Oxi-Action.
Sawyer v boar, Charlie v PTSD, shrimp v prawn. Join Jay and Andy as they dig into another hunk of our favourite southern outlaw!
Another helping of our fav Charlie Pace this week as Jay and Andy discuss the plan to stop Ethan and bad cockney accents.
It's a very Special episode this week, as we finally get to know Michael and Walt. Join us as we discuss the dangers of Losties crossing the road, the return of the polar bears, and FutureVisionPowers.
Join Jay and Andy once again as they find out more about the lovely Boone and his... unorthodox love life. Also Locke is a maniac who should be exiled and there is some gardening. A strange episode in all...
Kate gets another week in the spotlight as Jay and Andy discuss toy planes, Shannon's relationship with Finding Nemo, and the problem with Kate episodes...
Jack is back with his second flashback! Charlie is found, and danger is inbound... and the only reason they found the hatch, is because Boone can't catch. Join us!
The Others have arrived! All eyes are on our favourite pregnant Australian fan of peanut butter this week - Jay and Andy talk psychics, false labour, and Ethan being incredibly creepy.
Who is Danielle Rousseau? What are the Whispers? Who are the Others? And WO IST ALEX?!
All these questions and more are tackled by your favourite LOST duo, Jay and Andy, as we discuss Solitary!
Jay and Andy chat about Confidence Man! This week we find out if Saywer is really all that bad, because if not, Jack and Sayid aren't all that innocent either...
You aaaalll everybody! Charlie Pace takes centre stage as Jay and Andy discuss rock gods, dodgy Manchester accents, and Island cave-ins...
Sun-Hwa Kwon takes centre stage this week as Andy and Jay discuss Sun's first flashback episode, along with Adam and Eve, Charlie's big step forward, and CGI bees...
It's time to get to know everyone's favourite spinal surgeon, Jack Shephard - and with the survivors running out of water and Christian making his first appearance, there's a lot to talk about this week... join Jay and Andy for White Rabbit!
Don't tell us what we can't do!! This week, we're tackling Walkabout, as we revisit the mysteries of John Locke and the show's first big twist.
This week, Andy and Jay discuss Season 1, Episode 3 - Tabula Rasa. It's the first Kate episode! And certainly not the last...
Welcome to Flashback! Join Jay and Andy as we journey back to 2004 and make our way through LOST from start to finish. This week, we begin with Pilot Parts 1 and 2. Namaste!
