Trailer 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 24 : VHS Game Consoles Vol. 2 (Captain Power & View Master Interactive Vision)
May. 26,2016
It’s been a long and difficult season. Let’s end it with something fun (if I can figure out how to assemble these toys, that is).
Episode 23 : VHS Vault Vol. 9 (Your New Computer & You)
May. 12,2016
Can you really become “techno-hip” all because of a computer chip?
Episode 22 : Commodore 64
April. 28,2016
It’s the 100th episode of the Archive and the expectations are high. Guess we better do something good and commercial.
Episode 21 : Disposable DVD's (DIVX & Flexplay)
April. 14,2016
The Archive attempts to preserve some (intentionally) disposable culture. It was inevitable.
Episode 20 : Adult Party Albums
March. 31,2016
The most risque episode of the Archive since...the last one.
Episode 19 : Calibration & Test Laserdiscs
March. 17,2016
The Oddity Archive® strives to provide the best and latest in home theater tune-ups. They still make laserdiscs, right?
Episode 18 : Ham Radio (A Beginner's Perspective)
March. 03,2016
...or, Ben vs. Another Expensive Hobby or, Ben cures the hams or, Ben was already a total ham. Why make it worse?
Episode 17 : Airline Safety Videos
February. 18,2016
Dramamine? Check. Airsick bag? Check. My confidence? Nope.
Episode 16 : Prevue Channel(s)
February. 04,2016
The Oddity Archive® keeps you up to date with what’s hot—as long as the system doesn’t crash—again.
Episode 15 : VHS Vault Vol. 8 (More VCR Games)
January. 21,2016
Lots of effort for little (or no) reward? Sounds about right for the Archive.
Episode 14 : Capacitance Electronic Discs (or, CED's)
January. 07,2016
Movies pressed on records? Should've waited for the 21st century (the hipsters would love it).
Episode 13 : VCR Rabbit (or, Microbroadcasting Vol. 2)
December. 31,2015
The donations were multiplying like, well, rabbits. I figured y'all were trying to tell me something. (Did I really just type "y'all"? Heaven help me.)
Episode 12 : Ben's Holiday Grab Bag (Christmas Special 2015)
December. 17,2015
Some of you aren't singing. Don't think I can't tell.
Episode 11 : Prehistoric Pay-Per-View
December. 03,2015
You wanted a history lesson, you got a history lesson. Hope you don't mind a really, really long slideshow.
Episode 10 : Action Max (VHS Video Game Console)
November. 19,2015
I got a message from the Action Max. “I’m crappy. Hope you’re crappy, too.”
Episode 9 : VCR Ephemera
November. 05,2015
VCR Ephemera, or, Oddity Archive for beginners.
Episode 8 : Fisher-Price PXL 2000 Camcorder (Halloween Special 2015)
October. 22,2015
Oddity Archive: Now in high-pile carpetvision!
Episode 7 : Record Rip-offs Vol. 5 (Pickwick: Picked-Over)
October. 08,2015
Recently, we came into a small jackpot of Pickwick albums. Given this label's long-standing history with the Archive, it only seemed appropriate to devote an entire episode to the king of all "drugstore" labels.
Episode 6 : VHS Vault Vol. 7 (It's My Party and I'll Sigh If i Want To)
September. 24,2015
Oddity Archive®: Also available for birthday parties, weddings and bar mitzvahs.
Episode 5 : CB Radio (or, Breaker, Breaker 1-9! Mercy Sakes, Gonna Blow Your Doors In, Chicken Inspector!)
September. 10,2015
Breaker for a short-short. This is the Oddity Archive. What's yer handle, good buddy?
Episode 4 : LaserKaraoke Vol. 3 (& VCD Karaoke Vol. 1)
August. 27,2015
The 3rd annual Archive LaserKaraoke Party is on (sort of)!
Episode 3 : Nanny Boxes (TV Content Filters)
August. 13,2015
Naughty words WITHOUT Oddity Archive® – 22 Naughty words WITH Oddity Archive® – 21
Episode 2 : Stereo Test Records (or, The Official Archive Stereo Test)
July. 30,2015
Today's burning question: Is it pronounced "stare-eo" or "steer-eo"?
Episode 1 : Microbroadcasting (or, Oddity Archive Goes Part 15)
July. 16,2015
The Archive is back on YouTube! But, not without (desperately) seeking out some alternatives in the meantime.
