[@thelaylistchannel1376]

I see zappa, i click

[@xtoosy_5348]

The 🅱laylist Channel literally read my thoughts!

[@memyopinionsche6610]

I miss my FM soundtrack. Probably one of my favorites soundtrack next to Saturday night fever and HEAVY METAL.

[@OfficialDJUnikittyYT]

Next week is 188!! We are getting close to 200th episode of Oddity Archive!!!

[@MichaelMangi]

Somewhere on the 80sCommercial vault channel, one of the 80s commercial uploads has trailers for The Jayne Mansfield Story when it was shown on CBS.

[@lensmann4002]

I owned a copy of 'The Best Legs in the 8th Grade'. As best I can recall, it was a talky attempt at comedy. The only reason I bought it was due to the picture on the box cover, another instance of VHS false advertising of what was promised but not delivered, maybe this is where youtube came up with the idea for clickbait images for some of their videos.

[@prismstudios001]

Holy crap, someone else has actually seen BloodFeast?!Love the boom mike hitting the lead in the head......

[@princeofcupspoc9073]

Some of us have seen more than a dozen films in our lives: Blood Of Dracula's Castle Blood Of Ghastly Horror Blood Blood Rites aka The Ghastly Ones Bloodthirsty Butchers Blood Boobs & Beast! Blood of Dracula Blood Feast Blood Orgy of the She Blood for Dracula Blood Diner Bloodbath at the House of Death Bloodsuckers from Outer Space Blood Sabbath Blood Freak Blood Harvest Blood Mania Blood Sabbath Blood From The Mummys Tomb Bloody Parrot

[@SeanDamonGreene]

I must see every single one of those movies! Already saw "Howard the Duck" though, when it was in the theater.

[@DukeNukem2417]

I read the video descriptions every time....granted, I haven't seen a keepcase in a while, but no worries. Also, a future video in this vein with a focus on sci-fi would be awesome.

[@Jeremy-si7jq]

That Ed Wood Box Set reminds me of the Rhino VHS Wood box set that was covered in pink fur. Good stuff!

[@Moneytane1976]

Great collection and I know many of the movies thanks to all the MST3K episodes on the tube - I loved that series, the bad movies and the commentary. Plan 9 from Outer Space is just hilariously bad - but quite fascinating. You need the Horror of Party Beach - that is a bad monster movie and of course the great Manos, the Hands of Fate.

[@FanCntrlNetwork]

I have a Video Screams bootleg tape of the first Evil Dead movie which is pretty interesting

[@DavidLGill]

Grapevine still exists and even does Blu-ray releases now. Some of their releases are actually really quality now

[@thewayofjay1577]

Cool video man. Your collection is rad

[@GenoCuddy]

I'd like to see some of your rare pre-code collection and early sound films.

[@OddityArchive]

I don't think I have any rare ones. My early soundie habits are mostly confined to Mae West and the Marx Brothers.

[@KJHall-ts2xy]

"It's all right, it's o.k., there's something to live foooor...... Jesus told me sooooo!"

[@DevannB]

I hope you never stop making videos Benny boy. Been a fan since Max Headroom.

[@altohippiegabber]

the return of The Invisible Strangler

[@heidifedor]

It wasn’t a Lifetime movie, but “The Jayne Mansfield Story” used to air on the channel.

[@bearchay889]

Severin Films just released a huge box set of the Steckler movies. Vinegar Syndrome recently released Surf 2. FM was released by Arrow Video. Fade to black was recently done by Vinegar syndrome.

[@OddityArchive]

I have since picked up the Surf II Blu-Ray.

[@Zycyzyx]

You really should still do a song poem episode. I just can't get enough of that stuff. I rarely keep DVDs around at all nowadays; but my copy of Off the Charts definitely isn't going anywhere (neither is Daddy of Rock and Roll.)

[@OfficialDJUnikittyYT]

I remember the tragically hips' final concert airing on CBC

[@norbertop.niebres6320]

At 10:12, Ben meant to say keepcase.

[@artistwithouttalent]

12:44 Threw me off for a moment, because I'm very familiar with a musician named Billy Martin, but I don't think that's the same guy.

[@JudsonK17]

"That's Adequate" was listed at $89.95? Ah, the 1980's

[@tyjuarez]

5:35 Garrett Gilchrist?

[@mr_nobody_000]

the only thing about That's Adequate thats good was a cameo by brother Theodore

[@dabunnyman9133]

The bloody 3 Stooges parody is pretty funny too.

[@ianpavelko3827]

11:18 Murray, the ceiling needs painting!

Funny, I guess because I don't live in the States, I have not heard of any of the movies in the entire video. Even the one you said everyone had seen! Are you going to do one on your videos games? And yes, I love the price sticker on the fade to black tape, USD 0000.50. Did they really need all those zeros? What is MS3PK, please? More B.J's please I love them.

[@talesfromthelotuspodcast]

Lol i picked up howard the duck at walmart guilty as charged lol

[@zmbdog]

_Surf II_ is uploaded on my movie channel, TheBurialGround5. It's a goofy zombie parody about a toxic cola.

[@princeofcupspoc9073]

Wow. A great archive. Strange that google has never found it with a film title search.

[@Rayman1971]

Salvation! has a great soundtrack!

[@dabunnyman9133]

Alternate title to When Women Had Tails adds "And Men Played Ding Dong". There's also a sequel When Women Lost Their Tails.

[@BaccarWozat]

Sinister Cinema just released their last print catalog so they won't be around for too much longer. I only have a few DVDs of theirs. Wish it was more, but you know how that goes.

[@zmbdog]

How do you get one?

[@princeofcupspoc9073]

@@zmbdog Google, Sinister Cinema, about third line from the top.

[@12av67]

I have many boxes of VHS video tapes and are mostly still sealed sets don't have a use for them really. Hopefully someone does.

[@norbertop.niebres6320]

Please do include DVDs.

[@SetTopGames]

I grew up watching Santa Claus on TV as a kid, the original Mexican version, seeing it be so... oddly liked in America will never stop being strange to me.

[@jakethreesixty]

I read video descriptions 🤷‍♂️

[@soundminedd]

Leg! ❤❤❤

[@aiberlane3390]

Just saw the Mixed Up Zombies episode of MST3K last week! I don't know there were so many of those types of movies in the 60's and 70's. By that I mean movies that were just made to string together random footage lying around and make a cheap buck.

[@princeofcupspoc9073]

You insult the "auteur." That was Steckler's magnum opus, his masterpiece. Every scene lovingly filmed and edited to form a tableau of enui and zeitgeist. Or something.

[@TheBronxBunnyMan]

Cover more of those B horror movies you have. Maybe it's just me, but Bloodfeast never seemed very logical. At least Horror Hotel & The Fly had a premise you could follow.

[@DrewberTravels]

7:38 That is literally my favorite episode of MST3k

[@DrewberTravels]

Space Mutiny is another really good episode!!!

[@talesfromthelotuspodcast]

Lol i just watched that during Christmas

[@jamesborlan2850]

I love cult vhs and dvds while I’m more of a fan of comedies indie films etc a good cult film is something I can get into to Although plan 9 from outer space while I can’t say it’s the worst movie ever made but I can understand why some people didn’t like this movie It’s kind of boring in some areas but it’s a better popcorn flick than doom (2005 film)

[@norbelbert1988]

>... maybe sexist ... Who cares? It's a movie.
