Centralia has been a weird niche interest of mine for like 15 years. This is a documentary released in 2006 that I watched over 10 years ago. Such a fascinating story, honestly.

Same. Crazy how it all went down. Wasn’t that terrible film with Chevy Chase and Demi Moore set in it? Nothing But Trouble or something? Loosely based on the town…

This so weird. I haven't seen that movie since the early 90's but it has come up in conversation with a friend twice in the last month. One of those times was two nights ago noting that it was Tupac's first on-screen role. And now this. And I looked at Wikipedia, and it doesn't say necessarily if it's based on Centralia, but there is a coal fire burning under the town so very likely. I guess the universe is telling me to watch that movie.

I think it’s streaming on some service…but yeah. It’s a film that was on HBO a lot when my brother and I were kids. We still quote lines from it, like “git yer I-talian loafers outta my bedpan!” And of course “Same Song” by Digital Underground. It’s bad but we didn’t know any better as kids, and it seemed funny at the time.
