The Tupperware Party: A Podcast on HBO's The Leftovers


Episode #2: Season 1, Ep. 1 -- Penguin One, Us Zero

July 10, 2014

Well, that was a weird episode. It's only week two, but Andrew already thinks the show might already have gone off the rails. Charlie disagrees. Listen in as they debate what works and needs to be improved. What makes the Kevin storyline feel so clunky? Has the Wayne plot thread jumped the shark by moving too quickly? Why is the Meg subplot the best overall? And, perhaps most importantly, what's the deal with the bagels?! Tune in to find out.
