Jim, A.Ron, and hundreds of listeners grapple with their feelings about the series finale of HBO’s The Leftovers, “The Book of Nora”.  Was it good because it was a work of art that was brilliantly written, expertly acted and shot, and in it’s rigid adherence to ambiguity the most Leftovers The Leftovers of all time?  Or was it bad because it answered nothing, or everything, or too much at any rate, or betrayed or gave short shrift to characters we cared deeply about, or invalidated what we felt about past episodes?  The answer, more than usual, rests with the viewer, and everybody’s got thoughts.  We try to capture as many as we can.  But we also promise to return next week for more!  One final podcast before we say goodbye to The Leftovers, forever.  If that’s not worth of a Max Richter soundtrack, what the hell is?

We are incredibly pleased with the penultimate episode of HBO’s The Leftovers, “The Most Powerful Man in the World (and His Identical Twin Brother)”.  It is true that this episode is ridiculous, and dumb, and it doesn’t make any sense, and we shouldn’t care so much about, much like the reaction of Kevin himself.  But we can’t help it.  Everything they were selling we were buying, and in bulk.  Dick jokes.  Sure.  Body swapping between twin Kevins?  Why not?  Surprise guest stars as Secretary of Defense and the Vice President?  Shut up and take my money!  It’s crazy how this show can do no wrong with us, but we suspect it’s because this show can’t help but be true to their characters and find an emotional truth at the core of it that manages to surprise and delight us.  Can’t wait for the finale next week!  See you there… Support Bald Move:  Club Bald Move Leave Us A Review Join the discussion:  Email  |  Forums  |  Facebook  |  Twitter

HBO’s The Leftovers had a Matt Jamison episode in “It’s a Matt Matt Matt Matt World”, which means it was heavily thematic, absurd, inspiring, infuriating, and more than anything, Biblical in it’s intensity.  Adding John, Michael, and Laurie, and a bunch of hedonists who’ve formed a cult around a 91 year old lion just makes it so much more so.  We discuss Matt’s shifting relationship with his faith, a surprising amount on the human penis, and attempt to talk a few Leftovers fans off their emotional ledges. Read the Matt Zoller Seitz interview with Damon Lindelof on Vulture if you really want to explore this episode, and this season’s, very personal themes.

Jim and A.Ron are flummoxed by the latest episode of The Leftovers, 107 “Solace for Tired Feet”.  On the one hand, we have a lot of really interesting developments and nice character moments, on the other hand, we have questions.  So many questions.  Questions that seem awfully hard to answer in just three remaining episodes.  Are they going to wrap things up nicely, or leave us begging for more, or are we in for a category 5 Lindelofing?  Only time will tell.   If you want to give us a shout out, or otherwise give us a piece of your mind, email us, check us out on Facebook, or Tweet us.

We’re back with another podcast for HBO’s The Leftovers, this time for episode 106, “Guest”.  An episode that is positively upbeat and chipper compared to last week’s.  Or as chipper and carefree as an episode featuring a mom hiring a hooker to shoot her in the chest as a way to deal with the crippling sense of loss she experienced when her whole family Departed can be, at any rate.

Jim and A.Ron are very impressed with HBO’s The Leftovers third outing, “Two Boats and a Helicopter”.  We witness nothing less than the physical, emotional, and spiritual beating of former time lord turned reverend Christopher Eccleston.  What does it all mean for our understanding of this world?  Where will it go in the future?  Who knows, but we have a good time pondering these questions and more, as well as sharing the very best from our fellow fan-based mailbag!
