Episode Twenty-Eight: [redacted on FBI orders] (ft. Miriam Bale)

02/05/19 • 79 min

Part 16 of The Return marks the eventful continuation of the series’ climax, including at least one massive event fans have been anticipating for many weeks: the return of Jerry Horne! And also maybe the thing that happened with Cooper. Writer Miriam Bale (of the NYT, W Magazine, The New Republic, and many other fine establishments) joins Kate and Simon to eulogize several supporting players, ponder our expectations for the series’ endgame, and [say very nice things about the FBI].

Episode Twenty-Six: Me, a Tulpa? (ft. Dr. Sara Ann Swain)

After a couple of weeks in which The Return taunted and tantalized viewers by holding back on incident, “Part 14” decided to blitz us with a ton of new, bizarre, and exciting developments. Dr. Sara Ann Swain rejoined Kate and Simon to help try to make sense of it all. Nuts are invoked – often.

Episode Thirty-One: The Eternal Return (ft. Dennis Lim and Tom McCarthy)

With The Return long concluded and the once-shiny Blu-Ray sets gathering dust, The Lodgers must come to an end. Opting to try and take things out with a bang, Kate and Simon are joined by not one but two special guests: Dennis Lim, author of David Lynch: The Man From Another Place, and Tom McCarthy, big-deal novelist (Remainder, Satin Island, C) and cultural critic. It’s a wide-ranging conversation we’re pretty sure longtime fans will savor.
