Television [FULLY LOST] Desperately Searching for Doc that Aired on TLC/Discovery Channel in Early 2000s Revealing the "Miracle" of Little Audrey Santo as a Hoax

38 Upvotes

Am working on a thesis right now and am desperately in search of this documentary that aired either on TLC or the Discovery Channel back in the early 2000s. YouTube is full of documentaries about Little Audrey Santo—a girl who drowned at 3 years old but remained alive in a permanent vegetative state while being touted by her mother as a "victim soul"—but all of these documentaries are religious in nature and none of them question the veracity of her mother's claims that Audrey performed miracles for the throngs of Catholics who'd made pilgrimages to see her and that she was capable of stigmata. I once had it saved to a DVR that has since been replaced.

I have searched the internet and YouTube/Vimeo for this documentary's existence and have come up completely empty handed.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Audio [fully lost] The passing of David Bowie (BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast and Daily)(11/01/2016)

24 Upvotes

It was 10 years ago when the legendary singer David Bowie passed away after his birthday. So I have been searching for these interview segments about him on 5 Live Breakfast (09:00 am) and 5 Live Daily (10:00 am) (featuring Midge Ure, Marc Almond, Tim Burgess, Martyn Ware, and more) on BBC Radio 5 Live, which was aired on February 11th, 2016, but unfortunately there are not here on the website (like YouTube or Mixcloud). Also, it has expired 2 audios on BBC Online for a long time.

Here are 2 episodes' details:

Does anyone have them? Let me know.

Thanks in advance

Films [partially lost] The whole movie “Henry May Long” (2008)

14 Upvotes

I was hoping that this would be an easy find, but after several years of searching, it’s proven a lot more difficult than anticipated.

I came across the movie “Henry May Long” from its soundtrack by Max Richter. It’s a period drama, set in the late 1800s starring Christian Camargo.

As far as I know, it’s a somewhat obscure film but had a significant, non-zero budget. It was notable enough to be rentable from several streaming platforms about a decade ago, which is how I watched it originally (through iTunes movies which no longer hosts it.)

I’d been getting back into period pieces again and resumed a search for it a couple years ago. I didn’t think the movie would be virtually unfindable because, notably, the whole soundtrack is still widely available AND select tracks from the score have appeared in other media as well.

It turns out, the entire film is basically gone somehow and has become my lost media white whale. It is no longer hosted on any streaming platform, nor readily available as any kind of physical release.

My friend and I have reached out in various different ways to find the film, including emailing people involved in production/direction, actors, and people formerly associated with the now-defunct production company that produced it “Help the Bombardier.”

To my understanding, not even a trailer exists for this film.

That said, this only counts as partially lost as no more than 2-3 short clips of it exist online, as part of Brian Barnhart’s sizzle reel, on the production’s long defunct facebook page, and on a streaming platform that likely formerly hosted it. The score and several screenshots/production photos exist as well to prove that the movie was a thing.

On a personal note, I don’t even remember the movie being that particularly excellent. That said, I was 12-14 ish years younger and didn’t understand media that well. In any case, I think it’s a piece of media that deserves to be found, mind-blowing or not. And after a long, personal search, I’m turning here for any potential assistance.

Films Not sure if a potentially lost screenplay counts, but the 1st draft of the J. Michael Straczynski screenplay for the 'World War Z' film [found]

5 Upvotes

Many in the World War Z fandom knows about the Straczynski screenplays. He wrote the original versions and those hewed much closer to the original novel than the film ended up.

The second draft seems easily to be able to be found only. But I was sure that I remembered that there were two different drafts floating around years ago.

Well, today I was going through my e-mail, deleting old, large e-mails, and I found that I had been right about that, and furthermore, I had e-mailed copies to myself!

I don't know if the first draft was really lost or not, but I know that I haven't seen it uploaded anywhere in years.

So, I have uploaded them the the Internet Archive, and am sending the links to both out. (The second draft is still available, but I figured I might as well do both.)

Found [Partially lost] looking for a song, Good For by Elizabth Hull.

4 Upvotes

I am a fan of her work, both her solo work and her band At0mic Guava. A few years ago she deleted a couple of her solo songs including "Good for". I tried to contact her to ask her why she deleted them but I was only able to contact her band and theu said she mightve deleted it for personal reasons. While I can understand she may not have liked the quality of those songs, I was personally a fan of that song and enjoy her work. I was hoping someone here would have had the song saved so I could listen to it again. Any help would be appreciated.

Music [partially lost] Looking for “Electric Wing” feat. Hatsune Miku from OVERHIT (2019)

3 Upvotes

I'm looking for a song called “Electric Wing” feat. Hatsune Miku (full song), which was released as part of a collaboration event between the mobile game OVERHIT and Hatsune Miku back in 2019.

The original song was announced by Nexon Japan, and there used to be a YouTube video of it. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a working copy of the song anywhere.

I've been looking for it because I really miss this song, and I'd love to listen to it again.

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the audio, a reupload, or any information about where I could find it? Even a backup or an archive would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much for reading.

Television Big Time Rush / Marvin Marvin Crossover Episode [partially lost]

1 Upvotes

I've been scouring the web for the show Marvin Marvin, from Nickelodeon. Cancelled within one year, and it makes me worried not a lot of it was saved.

Official streaming services say they have it but once you click on them the episodes aren't there. I've checked many... sites... and they don't even have the show.

Specifically I'm looking for the "Big Time Marvin" Episode, the series finale. Would LOVE if anyone knew where this dang episode was, or even the whole series. But I'm convinced it is lost to time. Also sorry, I'm new to posting on this sub.

Video Games [partially lost] SoulHunter -adventure game with sword based combat

2 Upvotes

Was going through an old forum about this older engine called dark basic pro and found this proyect called soulhunter. Here's a link to the original post with the trailer on it. I don't really know what it is about asides from what it says there, which basically is:
SoulHunter is a 3d adventure game, developed in DarkBasic Classic, in which a troubled creature has to travel through a dark forest in order to restore its lost soul.
The game is heavily inspired by the Legend of Zelda series of games, and has an artistic style reminiscent of that in the Rayman series.

In the game you control the creature known only as "SoulHunter". Wielding a magical sword and an old shield, you have to battle your way through the forest, encountering
different monsters whose souls you have to absorb in order to stay alive.

If anyone downloaded it at its time and has a copy please answer it looks so cool.

Here's the link: https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/182261

And the download link on the wayback machine which hasn't archived the work: https://web.archive.org/web/20150325050912/http://soulhunter.bytegrove.com/

Software [FULLY LOST] Does anyone here know where I can get DOH Fighter 2? It seems like lost media

2 Upvotes

DOH Fighter 2 has footage of it being played, and was described in this website https://worldsbe.st/kusoge-advent-calendar-2021/ and I can't find a download link anywhere. I tried googling, no dice. The results are flooded with pages that contain links to that one guy's stream archive of the one time he played it.

I'll be real with you. I'll be frank. It looks like a mess. It looks like an absolute mess full of hastily thrown together mugen assets. And yet there's something strangely fun-looking about it, so I want to play it. I bet me and the boys will love this game next time we have our fighting game night. But... I can't find a link to the game. I found one tournament for it, but no way to join. And I found the search results polluted with tons of youtube pages linking to that video of the guys on the website playing the game.

I just want to play the game, man. Why does life have to be so hard?

Is it archived anywhere? Does it still exist or is it fully lost?

Found [Found] Sleepwell - Firing Line All Targets Down

2 Upvotes

Sleepwell - Firing Line All Targets down.

Sound The Alarm aka Sleepwell was formed in 1999 by Cody Jancovic, Brian Chiusano, Colin Ellis, Rick Stephans in their hometown of Bangor in Upper Mount Bethel Township, Pennsylvania. At that time, the band members were only 12 years old. The four played covers of favorite bands under the name Sleepwell.
After Joe Brule joined the band, Sleepwell began writing original material and won local acclaim.

Working with Rob Freeman, then of Hidden in Plain View, Sleepwell recorded a demo and word spread quickly about the band.
In 2004, they were courted by producer Howard Benson while still students at Bangor Area High School. The band changed its name to Sound The Alarm because of a threatened lawsuit by a mattress company alleging that the name "Sleepwell" infringed on their copyright.

The group graduated early from high school in 2005, newly christened as Sound The Alarm, released an EP on Rock Ridge Musiclater that year.
They then signed with Geffen Recordsand moved to Los Angeles to record with Howard Benson, releasing their debut full-length, Stay Inside, in July 2007 to mixed reviews.

The group toured with Finch), The Starting Line, Oh, Sleeper, Tokyo Rose), Bedlight For Blue Eyes, and others.

Internet Media [partially lost] Monkey + PCP = Awesome Story - Skweezy Jibbs

2 Upvotes

This was my grandma's favorite video, I can recite a lot of the different parts from memory. It has the Skweezy Jibbs character with an Irish cap on, in a kitchen with brown cupboards, explaining how he took PCP and went to the zoo, started talking to a monkey and it started talking back. Surprised he asks if the monkey wants to do PCP back at his house and the monkey says yes, after he asks if it wanted a slew of different drugs. the monkey takes the PCP and goes crazy in the kitchen only then realizing that it wasn't a monkey with the punchline, "that's not an orangutan, its a retarded kid" in the most new York accent imaginable. My grandmother was from New York. I had the video downloaded off an archive about a year ago, but that phone somehow got corrupted, I haven't erased it or nothing yet but I was hoping someone more savvy in scurrying archives could help while I try and fix the phone. Ai said it's lost media and that just sounds crazy to me since I recently watched it a year ago.

Video Games Cowcraft MC REVISED to appease the reddit gods[partially lost]

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. My original Minecraft username back in the day was AUSTINZ21. I’m reaching out to the r/lostmedia community because I need the help of some magnificent internet detectives to track down, preserve, or uncover any surviving remnants of a major piece of my childhood.

Back in the 2012–2014 era, I spent years of my life playing on a massive, highly popular Java server network called CowCraft (the historical connection IP was mc.cowcraft.net) [1.1.1, 1.21]. The whole theme of the network was based around cows [lol ik right?], but it was a massive hub for game modes like Towny, McMMO, and Creative.

I’m 24 years old now. I stopped playing around late 2014 to go back to playing outside, and looking at how corporate and hyper-optimized modern Minecraft is today makes me feel like an absolute dinosaur. Because of that, I used an AI tool to help me dig up what happened to my old home, and it told me the server finally went completely dark and shut down recently [1.1.1, 1.21].

Hearing that it's completely gone hit me hard, and it feels like a giant chunk of my childhood has been wiped from the internet. I am looking for anything that survived the wipe from that specific 2012–2014 golden era:

• World Downloads / Server Map Backups: I am desperate to know if anyone ever used world-downloader mods back then, or if any legacy staff members ever leaked or backed up the Towny world map files or the Creative world map files.

• The Towny World Seed: The exact seed was always a heavily guarded staff secret back then, but I want to find out if it ever leaked after the server's decline.

• Community Members / Media: I lived in a classic "village" style town and ran a local business called Austin's Sandwich Shop before striking out 10 chunks away to start z21town. Two massive names I remember from that exact village community were CoolKJ101 (my first online friend ever) and Birdiebird24 (my childhood MC girlfriend). I'm hoping to find old forum archives, screenshots, YouTube videos, or member lists that prove this community existed.

I know I'm rambling a bit, but any helping hand, dead link archive, WayBack Machine snapshot, or hard drive backup would mean the world to me.

To the moderators: please help me keep this post up. I am absolutely not a regular Redditor, I'm just a guy on his phone trying to find a piece of a past I forgot when I was a young boyo. Thank you all so much

Found [Fully Lost] Tombstone Piledriver Wrestling Video

0 Upvotes

Looking to find or locate a wrestling video I liked. Title was just Named Tombstone Piledriver or something like that and the YouTube channel name was Sergeant Johnson I think. I want to say both video and channel got deleted from YouTube but I don’t know. Both channel and video were made somewhere of 2000s-2010s if that helps.

It was an indie/two wrestlers only just performing Tombstone Piledriver over and over again. If I would have to throw in an idea to help, there’s a small scene where one wrestler holds the other wrestler upside down, walks around and taunt/tease his opponent before finishing the move in a wrestling ring.
