"Getting LOST" Global Premiere w/Jo Garfein

Randy and Kris welcome LOST superfan Jo Garfein for a very special hype episode ahead of the global digital release of the Getting LOST documentary that she had a hand in organizing and developing alongside director Taylor Morden (The Last Blockbuster) and her fellow producers. Following an L.A. premiere on the 20th anniversary of the LOST pilot episode this past September, Getting LOST has been screening at special events across the globe and will make its global digital premiere on Saturday, December 7, 2024. In addition to screening the documentary, the digital event includes a live Q&A with members of the crew, series star Jorge Garcia, celebrity superfan Bobby Moynihan, and other special guests. Get hyped, and get your tickets here!  Jo Garfein played a special role in getting the production off the ground. She has been a staple of the LOST fandom community since her early blogging days, and continues to bring fans together through her work as the co-founder and director of the nonprofit Cancer Gets LOST, which raises money to support organizations that conduct cancer research and support cancer patients by auctioning off signed props and memorabilia from a host of television, film, and music properties. In this hype episode of Media/Lit, we dive deep with Jo Garfein to explore our experiences with this delightful documentary, uncover the roots of Jo’s fandom, and learn about all of the great work her organization has done to help pop culture fans support an important cause. Along the way, we theorize about a twenty-year-old show, discuss the finer points of developing a healthy fandom, and of course, celebrate Dr. Juliet Burke as portrayed by Elizabeth Mitchell.  Please enjoy this episode and then offer your support to the fan community on social media!
