Andy Greenwald’s “Stick the Landing” podcast covered The Leftovers beautifully last week. I was worried it would be “spoiler-y” for me before doing a rewatch, but it just got me excited to watch it again.
I'm excited to listen to that ep. Not I have to do the Girls one first.
I rewatched Girls the last couple weeks and got a good laugh from Marnie singing “Fast Car” to Hannah and her baby considering the song is back in the zeitgeist
Also, I’ve noticed a girl on the dating app Hinge who says that the Leftovers is her favorite show and it’s so underrated. I asked her if she thought Nora was telling the truth and she never messaged me back…

Isn’t it weird that Matt is one of Kevin Sr’s best friends, but Kevin has never met Nora before, and doesn’t seem to know anything about her?
Anyway, I’m really enjoying my rewatch. It really, really picks up around Se01Ep06.
I think her and Matt were slightly estranged
Definitely, when he asks her for money in Episode 3, it seems like they hadn’t talked in a while. But then again, Jill and Aimee see the two of them hug in I think Episode 2? Honestly, it’s not a big deal, they were obviously still feeling out the characters and their relationships early on, it just struck me in Episode 9 when Matt gives the toast at the b-day party.

I mean, I don’t really fraternize with my dad’s friends. Do you?

There’s this TikTok trend going around right now that asks people to identify the hardest line in all fiction. I watched SE02EP06 today, and I hereby nominate the moment when Erica asks Nora if she recalls the last words her children said to her. Damn.

The needle drops in this show hit every time.
I just wanna shit on Max’s UI for a minute. I last watched this show 5 years ago, but Max still remembers my “progress” in each episode, which is the moment in the credits when the “Play Next Episode” button pops up. So when I try to play an episode from the main menu, it jumps right to the end. This also happens whenever my kid asks to watch an episode of Sesame Street that we’ve seen before. Infuriating. I actually accidentally skipped SE03EP03 because of this shit, but realized what I did after watching episode 4. Luckily, it actually kind of works as a weird flashback after Kevin Sr shows up at the end of EP04, so it hasn’t really harshed my vibe.
