Synopsis
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.
Episode 26 : The Death of Analog TV
June. 04,2015
The Archive has been deemed obsolete. Irony noted.

May. 21,2015
boxes Boxes. BOXES!!!
Episode 24 : Philips CD-i (Compact Disc Interactive)
May. 07,2015
It's a computer! It's a home video unit! It's a video game console! It's...a little underdeveloped.
Episode 23 : 3DO Interactive Multiplayer
April. 23,2015
An (unintentional) almost-three years in the making...
Episode 22 : Record Ripoffs Vol. 4 (For Vinyl Fetishists Only)

Episode 21 : Electronic Talking Oddity Archive! (Electronic Talking Board Games)
March. 26,2015
How many times do I have to tell you, China Cabinet? The money is NOT in the fishtank!
Episode 20 : Audiocassette-Based Board Games
March. 12,2015
Because, you know, VIDEOcassette board games went so well...
Episode 19 : Video Games (A Non-Gamer's Perspective)
February. 26,2015
Q: y u no duvide gams?
A: Because I'm not that kind of girl--er, wait. Did you mean "Video Games"? I guess...
Episode 18 : The DuMont Network
January. 29,2015
Maybe all those DuMont jokes in all the 50's-centric Archive episodes will make sense now. Maybe.
Episode 17 : VHS Vault Vol. 6: How's Your Sex Life? (Valentine's Day Special 2015)
February. 12,2015
Ladies' man that Ben and Ed are, they didn't really need this. This is really for all the lonely folks (especially the guys) that watch the Archive.
Episode 16 : 1-900 ARCHIVE Vol. 2 (Operators Aren't Standing By!)
January. 15,2015
You asked, we gave. $683.43 will now be added to your next phone bill.
Episode 15 : Future Oddities (Benny-boy Predicts)
December. 31,2014
After being asked all year about what Ben thinks the next generation of oddities will be, a New Year's special seemed to be in order (somehow).

December. 23,2014
This episode is dedicated to----you, Amber.
Episode 13 : Public Domain VHS Distributors (An Incomplete Overview)
December. 11,2014
And welcome to the Oddity Archive, the show that isn't afraid to piss off VHS fetishists.

November. 27,2014
Ben reviews the Archive (and then the world imploded).
Episode 11 : Local TV Vol. 4 (Local Commercials)
November. 13,2014
Well, that only took a year-and-a-half to follow through with another Local TV installment. No, this wasn't painful at all.
Episode 10 : Halloween Special 2014 (Archive Wares: Rejuvenique Facial System)
October. 30,2014
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".
Episode 9 : Hallmark Presents: The Sounds of Halloween
October. 23,2014
This year's (apparently now requisite) Halloween album review. This was actually meant to be just a minisode, but it ran really long. Consider it a "bonus" Archive episode.
Episode 8 : Shortwave DX-ing (or, Shortwave for Rank Amateurs)
October. 16,2014
The most headache-inducing Archive episode to date. Guaranteed.
Episode 7 : Copy-Protection Vol. 2 (Odds and Ends)
October. 02,2014
WARNING: This episode is coated in a new, ultra high-tech substance that may cause colorful sparks to emit from your computer.

Episode 6 : Laserdiscs (and their children)
September. 18,2014
For all the time we've spent with this format, a full look at it (and its offshoots) seemed only natural.
Episode 5 : LaserKaraoke Vol. 2 (Aqua Net Edition)
September. 04,2014
Is there really such a thing as too much LaserKaraoke? Let's find out with this special double (if not triple) length episode!
Episode 4 : Macrovision (and one other nostalgic copy-protection hassle)
August. 21,2014
Copying this video may cause your computer to randomly burst into flames. The Archive assumes no liability.
Episode 3 : Return of the Son of Record Rip-Offs (or, Record Rip-offs, vol. 3)
August. 07,2014
We've only just begun...to hurt.
Episode 2 : The Great Archive Treasure Hunt
July. 24,2014
Another existential crisis in Archive-land? Get your head out of your ass, Benny boy!
