It's the trials and tribulations of The Leftovers' resident Job, Matt Jamison, in the 5th episode of Season 2 - "No Room at the Inn". This time, Matt and The West Wing's Donna Moss (aka Mary Jamison) find out some very surprising news about Mary's condition only to get trapped outside of Jarden when they lose their i.d. bracelets. Matt, stop helping strangers! They spend some quality time with the friendly campers outside the gates including naked guy in stocks, Elmer the Swede, comedian Brett Butler, and a dude who likes to be called Brian while getting whacked by an oar. Luckily, it's Nora "Kicks Ass" Durst to the rescue! Hosts: Lisa Carroll Tremblay and Ken Cornwell | |||

| Bonus Episode: The Leftovers: the Novel by Tom Perrotta | 01 Oct 2020 | 01:11:38 | |
It's a bonus episode of TV is Awesome that's all about the book! We take a deep dive into The Leftovers, by Tom Perrotta, the inspiration for the TV series we all know and love. In the world of the novel, we're introduced to a very different Kevin Garvey who's an affable guy and also the Mayor of Mapleton! We learn more about the inner workings of the Guilty Remnant than we did on the show, Aimee is somehow a main character, Matt and Patti are NOT main characters, and Nora is preoccupied with how hot she is. All in all, a very different experience. Do we recommend The Leftovers? Tune in to find out! Hosts: Lisa Carroll Tremblay and Ken Cornwell | |||
| Episode #10: The Leftovers "The Prodigal Son Returns" | 26 Sep 2020 | 02:08:30 | |

| Episode #9: The Leftovers "The Garveys at Their Best" | 10 Sep 2020 | 02:03:46 | |
We're watching and discussing the ninth and penultimate episode of The Leftovers, season 1 - "The Garveys at Their Best". It's the Garveys when everything was great before the Departure! Or were things really so great? Because their amazing modern house has CRACKS IN THE FOUNDATION (foreshadowing alert). Kevin's not too happy and Laurie is downright condescending. Patti knows something is going to happen. But tween Jill is adorable, Kevin Sr. is the Mapleton Man of the Year (and NOT hearing voices), the West Wing's Donna Moss is going to be designated driver. Uh oh. Hosts: Lisa Carroll Tremblay and Ken Cornwell | |||
| Episode #8: The Leftovers "Cairo" | 28 Aug 2020 | 01:55:26 | |
This week, it's a big one, folks! Kevin vs. Patti in the eighth episode of The Leftovers - "Cairo". By the way, it's pronounced, "Kay-ro" (who knew?). Kevin, Jill, Nora, and (of course) Amy have an awkward "get to know you" dinner complete with hostility and a bag search. Meg throws a temper tantrum, breaks all the GR rules, and uses - arguably - the most f-words in any episode of television. Dog man possibly reveals himself to be Patti's accomplice, while Patti and Kevin have a very intense, tear-filled, emotional confrontation in loving close-up. Hosts: Lisa Carroll Tremblay and Ken Cornwell | |||
| Episode #7: The Leftovers "Solace for Tired Feet" | 25 Aug 2020 | 01:24:58 | |
This week we're talking about the seventh episode of The Leftovers - "Solace for Tired Feet" - just how holy is Holy Wayne? The baby's a"bridge" to what? When did Matt put the cash back? Ahh, the easy rapport between Jill and Grandpa Kevin. What's up with another crazy Kevin (the younger) dream? And is Kevin ever going to just WAKE UP! Hosts: Lisa Carroll Tremblay and Ken Cornwell | |||
| SEVERANCE Season 2 "Woe's Hollow" | 16 Apr 2025 | 01:54:26 | |
The twists are a twisting in the fourth episode of Severance S2! Our favorite innies go on an "Outdoor Retreat and Team-Building Occurrence" where all hell breaks loose.

| Episode #6: The Leftovers "Guest" | 12 Aug 2020 | 01:40:45 | |
We're heading into the second half of season one with the sixth episode of The Leftovers - "Guest" - a long awaited spotlight on Nora! This week, we're talking about how Nora has a panel tomorrow(!), asking why everyone's answering "yes" to question #121 (until they're not), wondering why Nora doesn't ask for a manager?? (as Lisa says, she's feakin' Nora Durst!), cringing as Nora's third meet cute with Kevin becomes a meet not cute, thinking about why Holy Wayne looking so shabby when he gets a grand per hug, and wondering if this is really closure for Nora when we know what happens later in this season (and seasons two and three for that matter)? Hosts: Lisa Carroll Tremblay and Ken Cornwell | |||
| Episode #5: The Leftovers "Gladys" | 01 Aug 2020 | 01:38:32 | |
This week, we're all about the fifth episode of The Leftovers - "Gladys". For once, we're NOT trying to figure out what the title means... but we are wondering what Patty put in the doggie bag, are those really Kevin's shirts, how many meet-cutes can Nora and Kevin have (answer: as many as possible), what does technology have against Kevin, why is poor Matt always getting dumped on? Hosts: Lisa Carroll Tremblay and Ken Cornwell | |||
| Episode #4: The Leftovers "B.J. and the A.C." | 24 Jul 2020 | 01:33:16 | |
This week, we're chatting about the fourth episode of The Leftovers - "B.J. and the A.C." - discussing the best time of day to watch the show, how watching Baby Jesus almost being set on fire is a hell of way to start the day, who might B.J. and A.C. be, questioning if we're seeing human bodies or lifelike dolls, some, um, startling nudity, and how this is the episode Kevin and Nora finally meet! Hosts: Lisa Carroll Tremblay and Ken Cornwell | |||
| Episode #3: The Leftovers "Two Boats and a Helicopter" | 18 Jul 2020 | 01:21:36 | |
This week we're diving deep into the third episode of The Leftovers - "Two Boats and a Helicopter" aka "How Did We Miss Two Boats and a Helicopter?" - discussing our first real introduction to Reverend Matt, the Nora scene, how we both fast-forwarded through different parts because we knew something bad was going to happen, The West Wing's Donna Moss, and pigeons... several pigeons.
