·50 min·4 clips

Ralph Oppel says the Getting Lost documentary stumbled upon answers that completely changed his view of the show.

This episode of Down the Hatch features hosts Josh Wigler and Mike Bloom alongside special guests Joe Garefine from Cancer Gets Lost and Ralph Oppel, producer of the upcoming documentary *Getting Lost*. They gather to discuss major 20th-anniversary projects celebrating the TV series *Lost*. Joe Garefine details the Cancer Gets Lost charity auction running May 11-18, which includes rare items like Michael Emerson's annotated scripts and a cast-only season six yearbook. Ralph Oppel reveals his documentary, *Getting Lost*, has conducted 70 interviews with cast and crew, including Bai Ling and François Chau. The documentary will address the fallout from Mo Ryan's controversial book about the show's production environment. Oppel claims the film has uncovered new information that changes his perspective on the series, though he withholds specific answers. A new Dharma video was filmed with François Chau reprising his role as Dr. Marvin Candle. Joe Garefine explains 100% of the auction's proceeds will benefit the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, continuing the charity's mission that has raised over $400,000. The hosts and guests reflect on how engaging with these projects has renewed their appreciation for *Lost* amidst the challenging revelations from Ryan's book. Ralph Oppel describes the documentary's goal as helping fans "come to terms" with the show's complicated legacy. The tone is conversational and nostalgic, filled with insider jokes and deep-cut references to *Lost* episodes like "Further Instructions" and "Stranger in a Strange Land." This episode is ideal for dedicated *Lost* fans interested in the show's enduring community and upcoming anniversary projects. Listeners with no prior connection to *Lost* or its fandom may find the detailed discussion too niche.
