Trainwreck: Woodstock '99

Blaustein is featured in the Netflix series Trainwreck: Woodstock 99. Blaustein, a young reporter for ABC News Radio in 1999, is the first person we see in the series, with archival footage of Blaustein participating in an interview in the aftermath of the ill-fated festival.

The titles of episodes 1 and 2, "How the F**k Did This Happen" and "Kerosene. Match. Boom!" are based on quotes from Blaustein.
