I wish we had more clear direct footage of Jon as Wiggly in NPMD. I need to study his body language NOW-

i can't believe that there's a movie about mothman with a handful of relatively well-known actors in the cast and it fucking sucks (← he just lost 2 hours of his life he'll never get back to the mothman prophecies)

The first video of the Chernobyl plant after the accident. The red glow inside the reactor building is the red hot graphite inside the core of the reactor.

I am of the firm opinion that Book Wicked and Musical Wicked are two separate spheres that should never touch, so the Wicked movie looks to be a certified disaster. So yeah, I’m definitely seeing it in theaters.

I hope you missed the feeling of a full, Chornobyl-themed inbox. You'll have to get used to it! Do you know any good documentaries, interviews, videos, etc. about Chornobyl? Whether direct links (YT or otherwise), or just the titles, it'd be a big help for me. - R

If something is not linked right or there's any other problem, please let me know! Drafting text posts on mobile is an absolute nightmare. They still haven't fixed the bug that randomly deactivates hyperlinks and messes with whole paragraphs of text... delightful.

Let's see what I have saved... @deadvitya you asked for "good" stuff - now, I'm not sure if I'd clarify all of these as good, but at least most of them aren't the silly and very dramatised "documentaries."

Phone conversations from the night of the disaster (acted out, not the actual recording, of course)

A few things (not videos) I have miraculously saved and not lost and forgotten about immediately after reading:

Interview with Sitnikov's widow

Interview with Aleksandr Akimov's childhood friend

Chernobyl Critical Blog

Inexplicably gone (since last year, I think) but archived on the Wayback Machine, Francesca Dani's Heroes of Chernobyl articles. It included an interview with Leonid Toptunov's mother.

Note: I deliberately did not add documentaries such as "Hour by Hour", the BBC one, "The Final Warning" (yes, like the book) etc etc, because they're easy to find and also... you know... not that good. Honourable mention: the "Zero Hour" documentary, which did a great job casting the control room staff (and nothing else). I'm sure that I'm forgetting a ton of things, but I'd say it's a solid starting point.
