Episode #6: Season 1, Ep. 6 -- Guest The Tupperware Party: A Podcast on HBO's The Leftovers

"Guest" is another episode focusing on a single character. This time the writers turn their attention to Nora Durst, who lost her entire family in The Departure and is still struggling to cope three years later. This week on The Tupperware Party, Andrew and Charlie discuss why these narrow-focused episodes work so well, and what the show seems to be implying about Wayne and Nora. Why does she do what she does in the cold open? What's the deal with Question 121 on the survey? How does this episode flesh out the world the writers are working in? And are Wayne's powers for real, or is he a fraud? Tune in to find out.
