Oddity ArchiveSæson 3

Tilføj serie til Se senere
The Oddity Archive is a web series that revolves around the "cultural dustbin", especially as it pertains to media. The Archive also functions as an actual archive of sorts, with a modest collection of off-air Betamax and VHS recordings (about 400 total as of June, 2014). There's also a decent collection of ephemeral video, "ripoff" and "drugstore" LP's/cassettes/8-tracks, as well as (working) obsolete technology.

    E1
    U-Matic (or, How I Spent My Summer)While everybody else was going on vacation and stuff, Ben (perhaps unsurprisingly) locked himself away and attempted to restore a vintage U-Matic 3/4" VCR (plus dealing with other technical hindrances). The feel-good episode of the year.

    E10
    Halloween Special 2014 (Archive Wares: Rejuvenique Facial System)Test-driving a new, potential recurring concept, "Archive Wares". The idea is to look at items from the golden age of infomercials ('80's through early 2000's) and their ads and/or tutorial videos. Given that it's Halloween, it seemed only natural to discuss the most nightmare-inducting product sold via infomercials: the "Rejuvenique Facial Toning System".
  • Local TV Vol. 4 (Local Commercials)
    E11
    Local TV Vol. 4 (Local Commercials)Well, that only took a year-and-a-half to follow through with another Local TV installment. No, this wasn't painful at all.
