This week on Talkin Lost, we dig up one of Lost’s most divisive—and deliciously pulpy—hours: Season 3, Episode 14, “Exposé.” It’s a buried-alive mystery, a noir within a survival saga, and a rare glimpse at how the show toyed with its own mythology and fan expectations. We’ll unpack Nikki and Paulo’s rise and fall, the meta-commentary lurking beneath the sand, and what this episode reveals about storytelling, fandom, and narrative justice.
Then we pivot to the laboratory in a double feature of transformation and creation: Yorgos Lanthimos' Bugonia and Guillermo del Toro’s long-awaited Frankenstein. Together, they form a haunting dialogue about human ambition, the ethics of life-making, and the cost of curiosity. What connects a pair of disillusioned men seeking divine meaning through horror to a visionary director resurrecting Shelley’s monster for a new century?
Tune in as we exhume the dead—both literal and metaphorical—and ask what it means to play creator, whether in a TV writer’s room, a petri dish, or a storm-lashed Gothic castle. Be sure to keep coming back for new episodes every week only at #talkintvpodcast
