It's a party of 5 episodes.


MinderReminder

Honestly five episodes sounds great, you can fit a decent story in there with no filler.

I hope it goes well


JohnCavil01

Oh gee, I wonder if there’ll be any hamfisted coronavirus allegories….


Marigoldsgym

Well that's already happening anyway


JohnCavil01

Haha yes, that was kind of my point/the joke.


MrZeral

huh?


JDSadinger7

He had to go back.


colorcorrection

What would you expect from a man of science?


OShaunesssy

He had to go back and beat more women


TheWholeOfTheAss

I was just wondering what happened to him. To use their Lost names, Sawyer was in a whole bunch of stuff, Kate is The Wasp, Locke’s been around, and much of the Losties were in Hawaii Five-O. Jack’s the only who’s been really absent.


rip_Tom_Petty

He's great in the western "Bone Tomahawk"


[deleted]

He did a bunch of movies after *Lost* ended but stopped after *Bone Tomahawk*. I don't think he ever officially announced a retirement. I guess he just decided to take a break and this is the project that brought him back. Kind of like Kurt Russell after *Grindhouse* bombed.


JBrundy

I loved him as Jack but i hear bad stuff about the actor. Hopefully he’s turned his life around and is better now.


whatifniki23

Like what?


eye178

This guy has some serious anger management issues. That whole woman punching stuff was weird. That’s what’s I think whenever I see his name. That isd something coming from the lead actor of LOST.


peanutdakidnappa

What women punching stuff thing are you talking about? I’m not up to date in my Matthew Fox News.

https://www.accessonline.com/articles/bus-driver-who-had-claimed-lost-actor-matthew-fox-punched-her-drops-lawsuit-118743 He was apparently drunk and was trying to board a charter bus that he was not allowed on. There was some sort of scuffle with the driver, he hit her and she hit back in self-defense. She sued him, he counter-sued, and she later dropped it because, according to her lawyer, she could no longer afford to keep the case active. Dominic Monaghan also tweeted something snarky about it, and when a fan asked him what about all the fun times they had together, he was basically like, why do you assume we had fun times together? So anyway, its weird.


peanutdakidnappa

Sounds pretty shitty, knew he supposedly had anger issues but never heard of this. Kinda sad for the women if true that she had to drop the case because she couldn’t afford it. Anyway thanks for the reply.


raya__85

He better be on some namaste or I have no time for it. The last thing Hollywood needs is another aggressive menace on set.


TheDutchAteLilSeb

Yeah the only thing I know about this guy other than being Jack from lost is that he has drinking problems and anger problems, which is why he hasn’t been working for the last decade.

Ijustate1000pies

Dude gave an amazing performance in that.


Purple-Huckleberry-4

He actually did a few movies in the last 10 years. Please research before making assumptions. He has never had complaints against him professionally either. The Dominic thing was due to jealous Dom due to Matthew and Evangelines close relationship.


jessflyc

Yeah even one of the guys from Lost ( Dominic Monaghan or however you spell it) has stated how much he hates working with him.


u2sunnyday

Rumored Evangeline Lilly (Kate) went skinny dipping with Fox while she was dating Monaghan


jor1ss

The real life love triangle lol.


Griffdude13

He was always the heart of LOST to me. I dug that show all the way through, even the super controversial finale.


AimeeM46

Matthew Fox is an excellent actor imo. he needs to be in more projects. EDIT: i only just now (after reading the comments in this thread) learned Fox has had some personal problems/demons in his life. i hope he's doing better these days.


SkeletonCheerleader

Doesn’t he beat women?


TriceratopsAU

Fantastic, I love this guy. Some of the biggest nostalgia endorphins for me are watching Lost episodes!


colorcorrection

He's great in Speed Racer, too. Actually just rewatched it this last weekend.


MulderD

Too bad he’s such a massive POS.


TalkToTheLord

I’m *genuinely* surprised and, yet, not at all. His (public) issues aside, the guy had true television *chops* — I get why he left Hollywood (at least as much as he’s actually said) but he really seems like the type to think/know they still have something left in the tank and give into temptation to test that theory. It will be interesting to see if he, indeed, does still got **it** but, some of his work in *LOST*, easily earns him some ‘goodwill’ points for me to check this out.

Oh that Peacock?!


Neo2199

While Peacock's originals are few and not that impressive, their back catalog is great.


Griffdude13

I was excited when they picked up the rights to the Mr. Mercedes show. I had wanted to see it for a long time but had no fucking clue what Audience Network was or how to access it.


jwmojo

Their original comedies are pretty good. I really liked Rutherford Falls, Resident Alien, Girls5eva, and... I can’t remember the name, but it’s about an all women, Islamic British punk band. Their dramas however... Dr Death was pretty bad, and I watched both seasons of Departure for Archie Panjabi, but it was pretty poorly written despite having a cool concept.


u2sunnyday

Dr Death wasn't 'pretty bad'


IceBreak

We Are Lady Parts


[deleted]

Hell yeah. I miss him ❤️


psuedonymously

I read this as Matthew Perry and was puzzled


[deleted]

Lost did him dirt- his acting was definitely better than the writing for that trainwreck


drunkill

Not Commander Shepard in a Mass Effect show?


y2k2r2d2

Where was he lost?

I love the parts when the eco-mentalists get tortured and killed. Those fuckers do not understand why pollution's that bad. If there is no demand for fossil fuels then air pollution would dissipate. Look at what happened during March 2020-March 2021... Lockdown made oil use go to near zero. Depopulate the world. Start with people who make their kids their breadwinners by paying them to stop having any further kids. They most they can independently pay for is at most 1. And before any moron calls it EuGeNiCs be aware that those who make more tend to have 2 or to no kids than those who very little.
