Thanks for joining us for another episode of Rapturecast! This time with 50% more words!

This week we talk about episode 15, No Room at the Inn. This is another standout effort from Lindelof and Hoyt (Solace for Tired Feet, Two Boats and a Helicopter) that chronicles Matt’s efforts to care for his wife, Mary (Donna!). We’re going to talk about Matt, Mary, and all the goofy hijinks they get into outside Jarden.

Brian

Why does Matt agree to ‘punish’ the bearded man? Who’s Brian? Is Matt starting to buy into this vengeful faith or is just trying to help a stranger? How much would you pay for a stranger to spank you with an oar?

They’re not laughing with you, they’re laughing at you

Sometimes the music in The Leftovers heightens the emotional impact of a scene, surgically extracting every last ounce of agony. Sometimes the score is used like a stage, it becomes a part of the setting and allows a moment of solemn seclusion for us to reflect. Sometimes it’s really shitty, apparently.

“She’s pregnant?”

We tackle the tough question of Mary’s pregnancy and whether or not she really did wake up. We also discuss faith, skepticism, and the relationship between religion and The Leftovers.
