LOST was a good show and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't. You don't have to agree with me, but you do have to watch my video.

why is the pinned comment always so dumb?
Ngl my comment was way better.
Hey
i know right
Damn it I got robbed
how
My grandma accidentally taped over the VHS of my birth with an episode of Lost and caused lifetime resentment of Lost inside my mother
Awww hahaha!!!

You just wasted your precious time on this planet finding out what was down here.

@@mintmoosetracks8923 Damn it past Eman!
It's actually not funny because it is tragic & Shakespearean & real life .. just like losts ACTUALLY OBJECTIVELY BAD ENDING
Some guy: "Yeah I'm in the orchestra for Lost"
Me: "Oh cool, what instrument did you play?"
Him: "The gurney flaps"
“Oh yeah I also played the turbine fan”
I played the peanut packets.
@@curleyqreviews9793 Well *I* played the packing peanuts.
Oh, cool, I played the Seat 2B!
I played the pilot... what? No I wasn’t the pilot, I _PLAYED_ the pilot
At the bar a while back the bartender and I had been talking about our mutual love of Lost when she decided to put the show on. A lot of the bar joked about it and talked shit about it, but before the first part of the pilot was over, we'd turned off the jukebox and put the sound on. The people that had shit on it without really watching it much or at all were suddenly invested and asking me all sorts of questions. When I finally went home I think they were on episode 6.

Yeah I'm sure bud
That first ep was great, no lie. Full of promise and wonder. Like a new romance...that becomes a co-dependent hellscape at the end. Filled with acrimony and feelings of betrayal. Yep.
@@guyjperson Nope, it's still good at the end.
This video single handedly responsible for thousands of new LOST fans.
As a long time LOST fan, thank you. To me , it's the best show ever.
Yes it is
Me ✋🏼
Still my favorite show to this day, ever since 4th grade
I love this show soo much I watched it 3 years ago and it is the greatest of all time ever
As a former Lost fan, my condolences to anyone that watches this now.
“You can’t wear jeans on the beach! I’d rather die!”
Spoken like a true Florida man.
I keep forgetting that drew lives in flordia
As a Florida Man, I'll drink to that!
Lol that one really got me and I'm landlocked! I do, however, know that beaches exist, and may or may not have been to one or two
I went swimming in jeans once. Kinda soggy
Yeah, but if you're going to the beach in jeans, you're definitely in Florida.
Seeing as Riverdale is a thing that exists, I can no longer comfortably say any show has gone off the rails unless its reached Riverdale's level of absolute insanity.
Just watched a video about how batshit insane that show is after not wanting to watch it cause I was a fan of the original Archie, now I wish I could've watched that trainwreck from the beginning.
I stopped watching at like season 5, no particular reason tbh maybe i should find time to catch up lmao
Man I appreciate the fuck out of Riverdale even tho I stopped watching long ago. Archie comics were my childhood and the adaption is actually awesome for what it is
@@gageansman295 Super Eyepatch Wolf's video is fantastic. He makes anything sound good, but I really want to watch that show now.
There is a girl that did a video on this show which I have never watched, but after her video(which was hilarious) I realized I didn’t need to. I got all I needed.
I may be 2 years late, but I wanna say that this video is what finally pushed me to watch this show. My mom was pregnant with me while it was airing, and she used to tell me about how my dad would watch it while she went to bed early cause I had her up all night as a baby. She would mention the show a lot, how it was innovative and worked with flashbacks and forward flashes, always making me interested in it, but I never actually tried to watch it until I watched this video. I’ve now successfully completed the show, and I can truly consider it one of my favorite shows of all time. Thank you, Danny, for opening me up to Lost again.
thank you WHO?
Danny @@LucyCoates-sz9gr

I think something crazy about this show is that even if you watched it when it came out and never watched it again, you would still remember characters, names, and major events.
This is an excellent point.
True. I even remember the names of single episode characters like Arzt, or Nikki and Paulo lol
Its been over 33 years since I watched They Came From Outer Space. I still remember it and can name characters like Bo and Abe, Lt. Baker and Lt. Wilson, Mom and Dad (they never had names). Does not mean it was a good show. I still remember when Bo and Abe were abducted by murderous amazon aliens.
You lost me at "never watch it again," What is that??
@@ashleyclevinger3430 I mean, they said “even if you never _watched_ it again” and their comment is unedited??? Did you just misread the comment and didn’t reread it, or did you make a typo? If it’s the former, then it’s possible that _you_ may be the person who lost you lol. Cause people can’t always control whether or not other people will correctly read the words that they wrote 😅
Also, I’m pretty sure what they’re basically saying is that: even if you watched the show years ago back when it first aired (in 2004-2010) and you never saw it again since then, you’d _still_ have a good memory of it years later-I just assume they’re probably speaking from personal experience-cause it had _that_ great of an impression on your psyche 👍
12:35 - "They somehow convinced ABC to spend an unheard of amount of money on the pilot."
No, Drew. If they had spent that much money on a pilot, the plane would've never crashed.
Please, I -
Get out.

some mixed reviews, I see
Lol, I just unknowingly wrote pretty much the same comment word for word. great minds i guess
man between this and the video breaking down the tragic end of arrested development, it's so interesting to think about great shows that would have thrived in the binge-era but were cursed by the confines of cable
Consoom netflix
Its so odd seeing two of my favorite creators in the same space, but always a welcome oddity :-)
I agree with this statement
True enough
HI NISIPISA!! Your content is very good :))
"Lost is a show that needs to be binged"
I agree it works well binged, but my favorite part of watching Lost as it came out was the theorycrafting, the podcasts that analyzed every frame of the episode to find all the little clues and Easter eggs and (more often than not) red herrings that the show provided. Granted the months-long hiatuses were killer, but the community that loved Lost really flourished because of the weekly nature of the show, not in spite of it.
I was in my late teen & early twenties when Lost came out. It was the last show I religiously HAD to watch as it came out on Thursday nights, since you needed to have seen it to be able to theorize and chat about it the next day in the office. I loved theorizing about the show..... that being said, looking back, I think the crazy theorizing and mystery hunting actually hurt the show at the time. When they didn't provide every single answer by the end of the series, people were pissed off and shit on they Finale. They were so focused on that they missed out on the beautifully interwoven story about this group of characters.
@@KS-xk2so To be fair the shows creators did encourage the mystery hunting and theories because it supplied them with unlimited free publicity . Even a lot of the official merchandise about the show encouraged viewers to solve the puzzles of the island. I agree with you though it was one of the last television shows I was hooked on religiously . I got given the first season on some pirated DISCS by an online friend. The show hadn't even been released in the UK yet so I was in the handful of chosen ones who got to see it before everyone else. Then it was difficult to get the episodes as they dropped in the US so I used something called LIMEWIRE I think it was that was used to pirate CDS to get the episodes and I would go straight to IDB forums to argue with others about the episode . Then a cable network got the rights to LOST and I actually bought the package off them to get the last couple of seasons. Like EVERYONE else here and everyone online at the time I was absolutely disgusted with the ending and furious. Of course back then you had the LOST APOLOGISTS as they were known who tried feebly and pathetically to defend the show but ultimately failed and they still have the lost apologists today. Anyway I bought the boxset and have re-watched it every now and again and I am now at peace with the ending and accept it.
Yeah, the counter to the idea that "it's a show that needs to be binged to be appreciated because who is going to keep it all together over a long period of time," is the idea of pouring over the shown in-between episodes. There were ways to stay engaged with it when you weren't watching it and for those interested in doing so, it was a unique experience that's hard to replicate.
literally watched it because of this video and it genuinely was such a beautiful show wtf
Did you finish it? Im on season 2 and it is incredible so far, loved every second of it.
My man really spent like 6 minutes recognizing how under appreciated of a composer Michael Giacchino is. Respect 👊🏻
This guy who keeps getting composing jobs and has (probably) won awards for his music is under-rated?! Sorry to be annoying, but that sounds like not well known
@@peasant_mindset4505 yeah, he’s literally Pixar’s primary composer and one of if not the only composer I know by name
Underrated how? People like you think anyone not on the trending page on tiktok or youtube is underrated 🙄
@@peasant_mindset4505 Not very many people keep up with composer's now a days. When I was growing up most people would talk about John Williams and Hans Zimmer. Never once have heard someone who wasn't a movie snob mention Michael.
@@theywalkinguptoyouand4060 Maybe a better word is underappreciated. You have to understand that the large majority of the human population are not caring about who made the music in Super 8. No need to be a snob about it lol

Lost is my favorite show of all time. It’s so weird and perfect and makes me cry like a baby every time. One of those shows that only gets better the more times you watch it. Nothing will ever come close for me.
same , no show IMO has ever been so consistently thought provoking from start to finish. The RIDE is what made it so good.
ty
To this day, I unapologetically LOVE this show. It's difficult to convey how much impact it's had on me.
Same here! It means so much to me. I remember being a kid not being able to wrap my brain around a lot of the mystery but it just made me want to dive in even further. Have watched it like 3-4 times now and I still find emotional weight during every viewing
Tell me what's with Hugos lottery numbers , what's walts power nothing make sense cause it's senseless tv show and in end jacob told nothing all things he said he could've told them in season 1 but no we have to wait untill season 6 with senseless twist Worst show
It’s my favorite show by far. The only show that I keep rewatching again and again.
New title: "Michael Giacchino is underrated and also Lost exists"
Lol exactly. I’m expecting a Lost defense and all I get is an unnecessary Giacchino praise. We know he’s great! Lost still sucks in my book.
@@phoenixjc6152 this is a really unnecessary response to a lighthearted comment
@Darius Bostic This type of shit is why people can't stand Christians and nobody has problems with Sikhs. Keep your religion to yourself. We don't care. If we cared, we would be Christians.
@Darius Bostic I thought Crhist said to give the other cheek, not to try to tell someone off.
@Darius Bostic I don't care about Jesus. I do care about pushing your beliefs on others.
Nice try to disassemble my logic, but like most religious people, you don't understand basic logical thought patterns.
You're the one posting unwanted proselytizing on a fucking youtube video that has nothing to do with religion. You really don't understand how absurd that makes you seem?
I don't hate Jesus. The world is not made up of Jesus lovers and Jesus haters, as much as your black and white religion would love you to believe. The problem is, it's just not real. There has never been a concrete reason to believe in any religion. I think some of his teachings were pretty rad and how humans *should* treat each other. Modern Christianity is a bastardization of those teachings. I can lead a moral life without an outdated handbook, thanks.

I hope Joel isn't going to pay Drew a friendly visit now
@@FDRAZHE Oh no! I love Drew…but now I secretly want Joel to pay him a visit.
I’m so happy when you were describing the soundtrack being emotional you put John Locke’s backstory. His backstory (and later this entire series) is the ONLY ever moment I’ve cried at a non-animated tv show. And i have to credit most of that to the soundtrack. Its so fucking heartbreaking to see a 40 something man sobbing about his dad while the most heartbreaking and emotional song you’ve ever heard is playing.
My parents watched Lost while it was airing and I was a little kid. I remember so vividly being scared shitless by the soundtrack because I could hear it from my bedroom while they watched. I never even saw the show but I was scared to watch it for so long. I went and watched the whole thing partly because of this video, and I knew I’d come back and watch it after I finished. Well, I just watched the finale about 5 minutes ago and here I am. Thank you Drew for focusing on the soundtrack and composer so much here, those songs truly scarred me as a child (in the best way possible). I’m still in shock at how underrated this show is, especially the ending. I’ve heard so many people saying over the years that the ending was terrible, so I had mentally prepared myself for that. I ended up being surprised by how amazing this whole show was. It was truly ahead of its time and a total game changer for the genre. I need a few days to process this lol
Yeah, a lot of people don't even understand the ending and think that everybody was dead the whole time... which makes no sense at all if you think about it for a moment.
@@kuhpunkt That was my conclusion, too. I think most of the people who hated the ended assumed they were dead the whole time, and I would’ve hated it too if that was what happened. But like you said it’s pretty straightforward if you actually pay attention to the episode and think about it for a second
"Booneral" isnt even uncommon, the man the myth the legend of Giacchino has at least one fantastic song name per soundtrack (my favourite being End Creditouilles from that one rat movie)

That’s exactly what I thought too
also the way he treated the joke... the clapping and proud smirk
I've literally just finished watching Lost yesterday and I cried like a baby. The ending was definitely not what I was expecting but I still liked it very much. Seeing everybody happy and reunited was truly beautiful. Lost is definitely one of the best shows I've ever watched. It made me completely invested in the story from the episode one. The constant drama, mystery, theories makes you addicted. The plot itself was genius and everything was so thought of. It's truly amazing
If you haven't watched The Leftovers (also Damon Lindelof who did Lost), you'd probably love it. I feel like he learned the lessons he needed to from Lost, and that's why it's probably the tightest 3-season TV arc of all time. Incredible show.
Leftovers benefited from being a cable show that's why it's tight. I'd argue the characters from Lost are infinitely more intriguing than the cast of the Leftovers though.
@@Romans8-9Agreed. The Leftovers had a known number of episodes to get to the ending, so everything could be strictly planned out with no filler. Lost, had to deal with 22 episode seasons, no set ending timeframe (network wanted at least 10 seasons, producers wanted 3), a writers strike, main characters wanting to leave, etc.
While I also agree that the Lost characters were more interesting, I’d have to give a slight nod to the cast of The Leftovers in terms of acting, especially Justin Theroux and Carrie Coon.
Ah, the Arrested Development syndrome: Making a show that can only be truly watched as intended on a medium that didn't exist yet.
Works every time!

When I was growing up with limited television time and not fully developed comprehension skills, I thought Lost and Survivor were the same thing, and I thought that if you won Survivor you got to be a character on Lost.
I thought I was the only one who thought this lol
Omg same here. Even today I still get them mixed up
I don’t think I ever made that mistake, but I do remember seeing ads for Lost in between episodes of Survivor, and that’s basically my only contact with the show.
The one that tripped me up as a kid was the Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack, where I thought the Professor became Jack or something, I wasn’t super clear on the details.
Wouldn't the winner of Survivor be the only one to *not* do that? After all, everyone else... Lost. ;D
This comment made my night, thank you
Lost was a stroke of genius. I don’t understand how someone can watch that entire show and not appreciate what the creators and writers were able to do
The Desmond time-travel episode was peak television. Nothing else comes close
Agree! ‘You don’t buy the ring Desmond!’ One of my fav episodes! A modern Twilight Zone and Love story.
Ab Aeterno > The Constant.
More unique, better characters and even a better love story than that. Seriously.
FR
@@Andrewz.Close, but I give it to The Constant. The phone call at the end is one of the most touching moments in TV history… then the dialogue after:
SAYID: I'm sorry. The power source went dead, it's all we have.
DESMOND: Thank you, Sayid. It was enough.
Man, if that don’t hit you in the feels, nothing will.
Fun fact: the writers actually had no idea which characters were going to get screen time and many actors were left not knowing wether they would have prominent roles. The set was such a mess that the writers got Steve and Scott’s characters confused accidentally killing off the wrong one- hence why it was a running joke in the series
I know this cause the actor who played Steve was my ex boyfriend’s dad and he talked extensively about this
That’s really interesting lol

@@kreticane2801 DONT WATCH THE LAST EPISODE AND IT'S ALL GOOD
@@howiegruwitz3173 what's the point of watching all the way to the end if you end up ignoring the ending
Started Lost a few weeks ago because of this video. Just finished the finale. One of the most beautiful, profound things I’ve ever seen that’s made me think about my outlook on life. Sounds dramatic but you’ll understand if you watch!
Lost is not profound! It is mystery box trash written by monkeys on typewriters. I watched this show beat for beat as it aired. I watched it again back to back on DVD to see if I just didn't get it but there is nothing to get. It's hollow key jangling all the way to that bad ending.
LOST is the reason I properly learned English. Back then, VOD wasn't really a thing and the dubbed version that was on German TV was.. not horrible, but I didn't find the voices fitting. Also it was behind a whole season and I had to avoid spoilers like crazy.
So I did what everyone did back then and put on my Pirate hat and sailed along.
I had to re-watch every episode at least two times (I didn't want to read subtitles, I hate subtitles, they're annoying and reading is for nerds anyway).
And now here I am, able to understand every insult people throw at me on the internet. In two languages.
Thank you LOST.

Michael Giacchino does a lot of puns for his tracks

Composers really need more credit, imagine Interstellar without Hans Zimmer's soundtrack, Up without the opening song, they would never be as memorable
True, on one hand you have mainstream music artists becoming some of the most wealthy and famous people in society, and yet cinematic composers that impact millions of childhoods go far more unnoticed.
OSTs (BGMs) need more love and appreciation...
Funny you bring Up, since it's the same composer from LOST (as well as Incredibles, most WWII Medal of Honor games, and the first CoD plus many major blockbusters)
Oogway Accends
Dogs of War, Medal of Honor European of Assault
Makes me so emotional!
I think that Charlie from LOST may genuinely be one of my favorite characters of all time. The first time I watched the show with my dad, I said to him “I like the way that he’s just so calm while everyone else is freaking out about the giant plane crash.” (little did I know he was on coke). While I know that he could be VERY weird and even more creepy at times, I always had a special place for him in my heart. I was heartbroken when he died and I still think that he’s a one of the best characters I’ve ever come across.
he was on heroin that was the drug he used
yes i love charlie! its no wonder why he was a fan favorite. he was so charming and charismatic and the way he left the show was so meaningful and important in the way that it moved the plot along
Lost is really a masterpiece. If you watch the first season knowing the finale, everything is so tied together
Fun fact about John Williams music sounding kind of similar. The scene in Chamber of Secrets where Malfoy and Harry are chasing the snitch has the same score as the scene in Attack of the Clones where Anakin and Obiwan are chasing the bounty hunter. He was working on both movies at the same time and there was some kind of mix up, but you wouldn’t even notice cuz it fits both movies.
I hope this is just trolling bc that would be funny 😁 otherwise, fascinating
fascinating
@@JaseekaRawr Eight months late but no he's not trolling. I actually was a big fan of both Harry Potter and Star Wars as a kid and watched them both enough times to notice. This is the first time I've ever seen anyone else call it out though. Still love John Williams.
"You don't end shows that people are watching"
Netflix would like a word.
That mentality killed so many great shows, of course network executives don't care but show creators should have some artistic integrity and put their foot down
especially Fox
And that was exactly what he said. Networks would't do it, but Netflix does
*Cough cough* Kim's Convenience *Cough cough*
That was exactly the point that he was making in the video. He was saying that streaming services will end shows when the show should end, as opposed to when people stop watching the show.
12:15 I think you described here very well how I was able to enjoy the show a lot more than my teenage peers. I was part of an online forum dedicated to discussing LOST, so it was on my mind a lot between episodes and not just once per week. While I couldn't "binge" exactly, all the relevant facts stuck in my mind - or, if they didn't, someone would remind me about them within 36 hours after an episode.
Lost was HUGE in ALL over the world. In almost every country. Here in Greece it was HUGE too! I remember I was watching this with my mom and even my dad who never watches TV saw it too.
In fact a friend of mine who NEVER watches TV show this show too. LOST was so popular man!
I'm so glad you're giving some attention to scores and to Michael Giaccino. He's always coming up with interesting names for his tracks. The one in the Incredibles where Dash starts running from the guards is called "100 Mile Dash" and later on he would title a track in Ratatouille "100 Rat Dash". Another track in Ratatouille is called "Is it soup yet?" Which is an obscure line from the Goofy Movie. He also did the score for my favorite Disney ride, Space Mountain. Mad respect for this guy.
love him
My personal favorite is just a tiny touch on the credits of Inside Out: “Joy of the Credits”
Rogue one has my favorite score of his
The zootopia soundtrack titles have so many animal puns its great
Yes!!!
Nothing beats a Drew Gooden "I want to talk about some random thing I like" video. He's got such a talent for showcasing something he feels passionate towards.
Ikr and the fact that he just advertised the show to me and made me want to to watch it is pure talent.

@@GoldAmplebut why bring him up?
This is a kind of serendipitous day. I saw this video in my feed around a year ago and clicked on it like the loyal Guy I am. I was fully ready to watch this whole video and have Lost spoiled, but as I sat through the intro I remembered the mysterious air the show had to me growing up; a strange show about plane crash survivors, and the way my dad excitedly babbled about it. I closed out of the video, and decided to watch the show, and come back when I was done. Little did I know that I was embarking on a year long journey. I began the show with my dad, and it kept us connected as I went off to my first year of college. I enjoyed watching it with the friends I made there. After long breaks between watching, I quickly remembered how invested I was in these characters. I saw the struggles of the characters in the show, and it made me feel less alone. Today, I finished the series. I sobbed as I watched what were once flawed and damaged people grow and complete their stories. As the series came to a close I felt that uncommon but welcomed ache when you say goodbye to a series and characters that resonate with you. I sent a text to my dad, and he made me aware that the day I chose to finish the show is the air date of the series finale 13 years to the day. It then only felt right that I finish the show on such a strange and almost predestined note. And now, after watching a full series recap (because this show is so fucking confusing) I am sitting in the dark at 1:42 in the morning getting ready to watch a video that I have traveled a long, sometimes arduous, but totally worthwhile path to see. All this to say, if you somehow read this, thanks Drew for being the Jacob to my flight 815. Maybe that was a bad analogy, but thank you for introducing me to one of my favorite shows ever. Such a fabulous, messy and heartfelt ride this has been. And if you’re a random internet traveler that decided to read my silly little story, I’m glad our paths intersected for even a short time. Just know that love keeps us all connected, and best of luck to you on finding your constant. See you in another life, brother.
I agree about them using unknown actors. The fact that i only recognised Dom Monaghan from LOTR and Elizabeth Mitchell from The Expanse, honestly confused me sometimes, i would forget their names and just call them Dom and Anna. No fault of the show, just drives home how effective fresh faces are at establishing a character
You didn't recognize Tauriel/Wasp?
when drew referred to 2004 as “two decades ago” … that shit hurted
Jesus fucking Christ
I feel my bones creaking bruh
I was fuckin *born* in 2004
thats when i was born, im 16
I’m so freaking happy that Drew addressed the underrated genius of Michael Giacchino. He explained the exact reasons why he’s my favorite composer.
-he’s done the music for my favorite movies
-he matches the music to the story
-he uses really weird percussion instruments
-he makes beautiful themes that adapt to the emotion of the scenes
-he names movie tracks so ridiculously
It's so exciting to see someone with a big platform like Drew highlighting what makes him such a great composer! He's also my favorite composer and I don't think a lot of people make the connection that's he scored so many iconic film and tv soundtracks because he is a master at completely transforming his style to fit each piece. We should all start a Michael Giacchino fan club :)
I've the movies he's scored. I never knew his name and I was happy to learn all about him and his eclectic styles! What a wonderful talent!
And he's scoring the batman
Kronos Unveiled is the concept of "chills" distilled into musical form
Right! I mean winning awards🥇 has the opposite of effect of winning awards
4:27 Literal goosebumps from that time in the video. I didn't know that man was responsible of so many iconic soundtracks. What an absolute genius, he deserves everyone's respect and what is to be an ideal composer.
As a fellow music nerd, I really enjoyed listening to Drew talk about one of his favourite composers. I wish I had a friend I could talk about my love of music with. This was the next best thing. Thanks for making my day better 😊
You brought up something 99% of reviewers overlook: the composer.
They truly make or break shows, and often times they’re the reason a show/film is SO memorable.
Well 99% of reviewers are STUPID lol. But seriously everything about Lost's score is perfect. The slow rhythmic sound of low string instruments that builds suspense. Then the almost swarming orchestra when our characters are fleeing from danger. The percussion using actual pieces of the plane wreckage. The use of oldies music throughout the series. And who could forget that sad, melancholic tune that plays during the more emotional scenes. We all know the one.
Idk about make or break lol
Manchester by the Sea could’ve been one of my favorite movies of all time but the score was SO awful that I could barely finish the movie. Everything else was perfect but a lack of a good composer/music supervisor wrecked it.
TWD has a fuckin’ banging score
Yes! Part of why Riot's and Netflix's Arcane worked so well was because of the soundtrack, they put a lot of care in it. You can see the process on TH-cam, a documentary on one of Riot's channels. Much respect.
Other cases would be How To Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda. They use the music to elevate the scenes, often staying on beat. I LOVE that kind of stuff.
the fact that a mainstreamed and produced show soundtrack has a song in it called something as stupid as “booneral” is brilliant and gives me hope for humankind.
He puts that kind of energy into naming with all of his soundtracks. He's for sure the next John Williams to me. His Star Trek soundtrack is ecstasy
Look up the title names in his other soundtracks. Almost every track is based on puns from what happens in the movie. Like he has a running gag where he calls a track "World's worst X" so the Venice action scene in Spiderman far from home is called "World's worst water feature" and the end fight in Mission impossible Ghost protocol is called "World worst parking valet"
in ratatouille the music under the montage with linguini and colette is called "colette shows him le ropes" fhdkghdhf pretty much all of his track names are like that. i respect him so much.
The soundtrack comment is absolutely spot on, I don't think Twin Peaks would have such a recognisable atmosphere without Angelo Badalamenti's soundtrack. Just hearing any of the tracks makes you feel like you're in Twin Peaks, and it does so much work establishing the setting and tone of the show. I can't even think of any of the scenes without the tracks playing along in my head.
I had my son April 4th 2007 and he showed up in the middle of Lost. I remember calling people to tape it for me lol.
They spent all that money on the Pilot and he still couldn't fly the plane without crashing?
I JUST SPIT MY DRINK 🤣🤣🤣
I'll be honest when Drew said 10 million on the pilot I was like "that's an awful lot of money for a character I assume died" took me a minute to go "oh yeah first episode".
This is the funniest comment I've ever seen hahahaha
within two minutes you’ve convinced me to binge watch this
might have to hit up that *ONE FRIEND* who *MIGHT* like it
Lost is the shit.
It’s sooo good but I did the same thing he did. End of season 4 I lost my love for it because it started getting WILD. Still an amazing show and I will finish it
@@dve34 same bro
Hey you have to watch 19 more minutes of the video
The constant is still one of the best episodes in television history. Love ya Penny ♥️
Agreed. My favorite episode!
Desmond had some of the coolest episodes
STOP IT I LOVE DESMOND SO MUCH@@vytriole
No show will ever get close to the emotional core lost have. The arcs, the music, the tension, the twist just everything is on another league
“There were some disappointing character arcs” and looks directly at Sayid
silence checkmark
I really loved sayid, he was my favorite part other than hurley and I couldn't agree more, they drop his development so quick
What's the matter guys? You didn't like Dark Sayid??
I always skip the Sayid episodes because they are sooooooo boring
@@finnleyann5752 Don't even get me started on Kate. I skipped nearly everything she was in. First watch through, I didn't skip anything. She was always CRYING in every scene and the emotional BS got on my nerves after a while
Leitmotif is the word drew is looking for when talking about the melodies being reused in different context and different accompaniment to create different feelings. That recurring melody is the leitmotif and I personally absolutely love when they are used well.
I think they're fairly common but I only really care about the music of things I already like so I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually uncommon but I just consume a lot of things with leitmotifs
It is common, or at least it's common in films with good film scoring. Leitmotifs are like a third of the reason why characters and plots are compelling, because your brain subconsciously makes associations and recollections when it hears the same theme.
That’s why I love the How to Train Your Dragon soundtracks composed by John Powell. They’re full of leitmotifs, and they’re always evolving and blending in new ways! The music itself tells a story
I literally said "leitmotif" out loud when he started talking about them!
Leitmotifs are basically standard at this point. There are almost always leitmotifs in some form or another in movie music. Pretty crazy to think that was basically nonexistent until Berlioz, Verdi, and Wagner.
It's an incredible thing in games when used right. The main title screen theme being incorporated to a final boss, or even having it persist through zones but each one bringing its own flavor to it.
I keep coming back to this video over and over. I’m on season 4 and I no joke cried for about 3 straight episodes during one characters death.
I've often described Lost as the Millenials's Star Wars in the way it blew a generation away with wonder. It meant whatever you want to everybody, good and bad.
It came out of nowhere too, a real organic creative bolt.
I swear this show doesn't get enough love these days especially on youtube, my 14 year old self appreciates this video.
Probably the best show to binge watch
just pretend season 6 doesn’t exist
Upload a new video bro I’m starving
I was looking for video essays about it last month and was shocked how little it's talked about now
@@milktea6676 season 5 is awesome. Fight me. ...then again I'm a sucker for time travel.
@@drewisgooden you could say people LOST interest in it
The fact they used the airplane parts as instruments for the music is so freaking impressive and genius. Wow
They also recorded the music after he could watch the episode, rather than prepackaged music. There’s a whole story behind it, and it’s amazing.
more like a gimick
I love the way the music itself describes an aircraft with winking lights crashing into the sea, while also promising Twilight Zone type adventure.
@@stevencraeynest7729 your mom is a gimmick
@@rachelhansen2417 isn't that standard
Thank you for this love video to LOST. This show was a gem my mom and I watched over the pandemic and I loved hearing all of these things about it I had not known, especially the music guy!
Thank you for this video. It made me want to rewatch Lost. Just finished binging it & cried at the finale. It hit me so much harder this time around. The music definitely elevates the show in a way I never appreciated before & it's so much better binge watching. I'm so glad I rediscovered it.
One thing I love about Drew is he makes videos about topics he really enjoys, not necessarily what he thinks is most popular at the time. Like I've never seen Lost but I watched this video start to finish because he breaks it down so well and is so passionate about it. And now I want to binge Lost lol.
This!! The videos he makes are never about current trending things, just things he has a passion for or things that are on his mind. It's really refreshing to just have new, original content that no one else is also talking about
Absolutely true
That’s awesome! Go check out lost. You won’t regret it
I can't bring myself to finish lost, my dad introduced me to it last year during summer break, it was our little secret since my mom didn't want me to watch it. We would watch like 4 episodes a week during summer break and like 4 episodes a month during the school year. After my mom went to bed, my dad would come up to my bedroom and tell me to get the popcorn started with a grin on his face. It was always fun hanging out with him. But my dad passed away in December due to covid, it was crushing loss and very unexpected. I've tried to watch Lost since but I can't bring myself to do it because it reminds me of him. I miss him everyday
(edit: just want to let yall know that I read the replies and your nice words mean alot to me. Thank you all for helping me through this past year)
As a long time adoring fan of the show since the pilot, I completely understand. I've felt that way about certain things also. Come back to it or leave it, if/when you're ready. ❤
🌈
Sending you love 💕
Im so sorry to hear that! I totally understand that. Maybe youll come to watch it in his memory eventually :)
Sorry to hear that, if it's true... People tend to lie about random things, just to get validation on form of likes......
I’ve never seen a second of Lost but this is the first thing that’s ever made me consider watching it
I think you are really missing something if you don't watch it
I really appreciate how in-depth you went on the music. Sound is something that is only really acknowledged if it goes poorly but done right it will be the most important aspect of the mood
Oh we're reppin' Lost AND Giacchino today?! YEAH, TIME TO SHOW UP
Hi Brookes! I love your videos!
Like drew I didn't know I loved giacchino music because I didn't know he was the one behind some of the best soundtracks ever. All his music just sounds so different from each other. Which is truly impressive
Yeah me too dude I love Michael Giacchino
Aren’t you the guy that doodles?
@@steamynoodle2010 yeah I sure hope I do
I've literally never seen a single episode of this show, but Drew made me care for 20 minutes
You're missing out. If you want a show who's characters and story you will obsess about for years after watching, I really suggest it.
@@pseudoplotinus perfectly said
It has its problems, but the characters and mystery is great in the show
on top of what others said, it starts off faaaaaaast. First couple episodes are great.
Best TV show ever made.
I can't believe they poured more money in to the pilot than ever before, and yet he still managed to crash the plane 😭
this should not be as funny to me as it is
underrated comment
i’ve been working through lost with my dad for like literally three years and have had this video bookmarked for so long and i am so excited that we finally finished it and i can watch this without being spoiled
IM SO GLAD PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO ACKNOWLEDGE MICHAEL GIACCHINO HES SUCH AN INCREDIBLE COMPOSER HES LIKE MY IDOL
Michael has always been a favorite of mine. His work on games like Medal of Honor and movies like Star Trek and The Incredibles are among my favorites
pun intended?
YESSSSS Michael has been a fave of mine for YEARS
HIS STAR TREK SCORES ARE ALSO FANTASTIC
SAME OMG IM SO GLAD THAT PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY RECOGNISING HIM AS AN EXTREMELY TALENTED COMPOSER
Michael Giaccino rightfully calls himself the nerd composer...cuz he's literally done so much that has defined modern pop culture. I love that you spotlighted him!!!
didn't he literally use plane parts from the show to make up some of the instruments for the music during jungle scenes? GENIUS.
I am definitely considering watching LOST now.... BUT what I actually want is to watch Drew talk about LOST bc that passion is amazing
i started watching lost becaus of this video. THE SOUNDTRACK IS TRULY INSANE. sounds, the way things echo, the sudden thrums of music always gives me shivers
"booneral" had me absolutely crying laughing omfg
I like how it stops you from being spoiled
Same hahaha, I'm a huge Lost fan and I never knew this and it killed me.
When he said they spent 14 million on the pilot, I completely thought he meant the actor that played the plane's pilot. Now, minutes later, I'm realizing I'm literally stupid.
It's ok I've been there, no shame or blame ! Lol
Lamo! It's ok, that's absolutely something I would do.
I actually saw this as a joke just yesterday. Someone on Twitter wrote "Everyone keeps talking about how amazing Lost's pilot is, and he literally isn't, he crashed a plane!"
I could tell you I didn't laugh so hard I cried, but I'd be lying to save face.
This comment has me dying
Lost became my new obsession after Friends finished. I joined in season 3 and stuck with it. Yes, it seemed to lose its way sometimes but I actually quite liked the ending. What you didn't mention though is that it had two endings - the one that happens in the real world and the other one that happened in the "flash sideways" world. It's that flat sideways world that people always consider as the "it was all a dream" ending.
I’ve talked to so many people who say “they were all dead the whole time.” Ugh. It’s maddening.
“Each of the main characters in Lost has a theme song that’s centered around a specific melody”. Drew just discovered lietmotif
I feel really stupid now. I never noticed that each character had a theme song lol It has been like 5 years though since I binged the show.
Well each character also has daddy issues. Just because characters have theme songs does not make lost a good show.
@@mehg8407 nigga nobody made that argument. It's just a good show in general
Sound the Sideways Alarm!
@@SamAronow And the cooler, better Listening In alarm.
(jk I love them both)
The sidebar about Micheal Giacchino is everything I’ve ever been telling people about him, I watch movies just because he’s scoring them, which is why I will be in theaters to watch The Batman, even though I haven’t seen a single Batman/joker movie in my life.
I think he is extremely underrated but I honestly dont think he has done anything that comes close to his work on LOST. The variety and level on consistently amazing music is legendary
epic music score and Robert Pattinson is going to star as batman and he's epic so I will definitely go see it, drag my mom with me too
Just do another one on the glorious Clint Mansell and I´m happy! 😉
Wait ! I didn’t know he’s going to be doing the score for The Batman !?!? God damn it now I’m ever more hyped for the movie
HE'S SCORING THE BATMAN?!
"married life" is one of the best songs in cinema, ever. i am glad it got the recognition it deserved at the time and not just appreciated retroactively.
I saw the title and thought about Lost, it had character development, mystery, sci/fi, it was a hurricane of emotions and I still love to watch it every now and again.
Lost is my favorite show of all time, and I'm afraid to watch this video and have my heart ripped out
Nah I love it
@@drewisgooden it’s very entertaining but unsatisfying at the same time
@@drewisgooden but are you sure you love it drew?
@@drewisgooden don’t answer that. I need to finish the video real quick
@@drewisgooden I realized that a minute and a half in haha
I watched Lost religiously as a 12 year old. I just watched it recently as a 22 year old and loved it all over again
The best love story of the Century
Plus some nostalgia sprinkled in there
OMG its Shoo!
I loved it so much but I didn’t like the ending at the time. But then I saw the Game of Thrones, and I realized how much better the ending was for Lost than I thought.
Same. I had trouble getting into it at first, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. Watching it again, even knowing all the twists and turns (heck, _especially_ knowing them), is so much fun. Cannot recommend it enough.
I really appreciate you taking the time to talk about the musical composition behind the media, it’s so often overlooked and Michael Giacchino is an exemplar composer and music director I’m so glad you highlighted it
thank you deeply drew, I watched this video last summer and i decided to start lost, i binged it and stayed up all nights just to watch it. I think it is and will always be my fav show of all time. Coming back to this video now I almost get sad because i miss lost and how invested i was in everything that was happening. again, thank you so much for this!!!!
Fun fact: a melody or phrase linked to a specific character or idea is called a leitmotif! Musicals do this all the time, especially the part where they transform leitmotifs to fit the changing narrative
And the term is originally from Wagner operas, especially the Ring Cycle!
the video game the last of us does this too!!
Me, emerging out of the shadows of a dark alley: "Hey kid. You like Lost, huh? You ever try Twin Peaks?..."
😆😆😆
You're not wrong, gotta give it to ya 👊 (fist bump)
The gum you like is going to come back into style
Where we're from, the birds sing a pretty song
Yes 👏 two of the best. 🔥
THIS. Twin peaks is a masterpiece, especially the return, the return is my favorite piece of media ever probably
You taking a deeper dive into the composers and composition style is everything to me ✨️ thank you so much for highlighting a CRUCIAL component of media production 🤍
I binged Lost on Netflix back in high school in 2010. It was my mom's favorite show and I wanted to see what the hype was all about. Glad I did. I still think about the show, its ups and downs, the emotional moments, what could have been had it been planned out from the beginning, had there been no writers strike, had the show had more time to explore the avenues they wanted to.
His videos are such a standout in the genre here on TH-cam. It’s also refreshing to see someone discuss something they actually enjoy.
That’s such a perfect explanation
I’ve always told people that Michael Giacchino is the reason we cry during Pixar films.
Lost has maybe the best score in TV history.
Drew, THANK YOU. I've watched LOST only twice-once as it aired on ABC (start to finish) and once a couple years later binged on Netflix-and even though I've tried to start it again, I couldn't bring myself to get past a few episodes of S1. I'm now reconsidering that.
It was my favorite show for a long time and I even enjoyed the ending when it premiered, so I'm really happy to hear such a great take on it. Also, Giacchino has been one of my favorite composers for several years now, too, and I'm really happy to hear others appreciate the glory of great music. 🙌
Lost is my favorite show, I used to watch it as a kid because my mom had the first two seasons on DVD and I would always watch them.. and then I finished the entire series years later and now I'm rewatching it again! It's amazing
I think the interesting thing about LOST is that it absolutely would've benefitted from being in a streaming age but at the same time the airing week-to-week and discourse absolutely helped build the interest and hype about the show. In a world where LOST dropped a season at a time onto Netflix it probably would've ultimately been better for the plot but simultaneously it would've been way more forgettable in the long run.
Like, they did a whole-ass ARG (that I was super into) in between seasons 2 and 3 involving multiple websites, other companies working LOST stuff into their ads and websites, a podcast, and a bad paperback novel written for the express purpose of plugging the show. I can't imagine an original IP today doing that, even popular ones like Stranger Things.
I _kind of_ think Disney's re-learning the power of generating hype for its shows by releasing them weekly... but then again the only things they've done that with so far are its Marvel and Star Wars shows and those are giant behemoths that will never die and not untested IPs at all.
They did the weekly thing with the Mysterious Benedict Society and HSMTMTS as well
If only Lost came out during a time when streaming platforms were around lol
i think weekly on a streaming service would be a good middle ground
I think HBO airing Game of Thrones weekly definitely helped its popularity; it kept people talking about it both in person and online for months at a time. Whereas when shows get released all at once on Netflix, they're talked about on social media for like a week and then fade into obscurity until the next season; they don't really have enduring cultural impact like something like Game of Thrones did.
The crazy thing about the ARG was how invested people were. I mean, to uncover the secrets in the later stage of the game you had to find glyphs all over the world. They could be in a shop window in Sydney, in Times Squarel, on a Korean website or in a park in London. And people jumped right into it. People talk about how big Game of Thrones was, and it's true - it was - but Lost fandom in 2005-2006 was insane.
I was actually gonna make almost this exact video. Everybody dumps on Lost now, and nobody ever mentions how great so much of it was. The ending wasn't even that bad.
i hope to watch it soon :)
The ending was absolutely horrible and lazy.
The biggest problem with Lost is that it doesn't have enough garlic in it.
Sure, the ending was a bit iffy, but the character development and the flashback stuff, at least for the first few seasons, was honestly really good imo lol
@@Bendrix27 the ending wasn’t horrible and lazy just because you didn’t like it. Just say you didn’t like it. Millions of people loved the ending. Myself included.
I started watching Drew so long ago and thought "oh his just a silly funny guy from the big three", and now im constantly rewatching all of his videos bc he's so well spoken, the way he talks makes the videos he makes rewatcheble to the point i can quote them. He's smart and always makes great points, to the point i forget the video was supposed to just be funny and now im learning (and it applies to most of his videos not only this one) love your work drew
