Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #268: Bureaucratic Fallout

What is the cost of lies? For those involved and affected by the disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station, the cost was immeasurable. Join us as we review and discuss the HBO miniseries Chernobyl, from its historical accuracy to why "disaster movies" seem to grasp our attention. Plus some news and Rachel gives a quick recap of her visit to the Gal's Guide to the Galaxy Library and Who North America for Hitchhiker Day.

Inhumans are being hunted by the government, Hunter is hunting down Grant Ward, Fitz was hunting down a way to save Simmons, Simmons was being hunted on an alien planet, and Coulson is on the hunt for the perfect new hand.
