The Prestige TV Podcast

Jo and Rob demonstrate their faith to revisit a ‘The Leftovers’ episode “It’s a Matt, Matt, Matt, Matt World.” They discuss what it was like rewatching this episode vs. seeing it for the first time, how it serves as a character send-off for Matt Jamison, and the show’s continued exploration of faith and religion throughout its three seasons (4:01). Along the way, they talk about how the series tethers itself to reality through its various ties to popular culture (23:27). Later, they unpack Damon Lindelof’s unique relationship with his critics and how that inspired the events of the episode (36:31).
