Wizard of Speed and Time (Original Short - 4K Scan)
This is the 1979 short film.
He remade the short into a feature-length film in 1988. Here's a link to that in VHS quality.
The Adventures of Captain Zoom in Outer Space (1995)
This made for TV movie originally aired in syndication instead of Hercules/Xena reruns. Later ran on SciFi. It's the same premise as Galaxy Quest, but on a more individual scale.
It's cheesy, it's campy, and it's worth a watch for some quality 90's throwback entertainment.
Hellraiser VHS Merch Promo
Promo for some sweet Hellraiser merch including a windbreaker and thermos, all told to us through a sweet old lady and her dead cat.
There Is No Escape In Waiting (1986) by Fasten Boolbis produced by Cellar Freaks
Fasten Boolbis, a Dutch experimental group from Arnhem, is known for their unique blend of minimal synth, new wave, and electronic sounds. Their self-titled EP, released in the mid-1980s, showcases their innovative approach to music, combining melancholic melodies with occasional funky basslines. The band members, including Ger de Jong and Ferdi Verhorst and later joined by Ben van het Ende brought a mix of instruments like saxophones, synthesizers, and percussion to create a distinctive sound.
Their music is often described as avant-garde, appealing to fans of experimental and electronic genres. Tracks like "Nobody Has Seen a Cellar Freaks Production" highlights their creative lyrics and unconventional style. While their work may not cater to mainstream tastes, it holds a special place for those who appreciate boundary-pushing artistry.
Trurl's Machine (Maszyna Trurla) short Polish animated film based on a short story from Stanislaw Lem's The Cyberiad. It has an English narrator.
I don't love the narrator, but the animation style is a lot of fun.
Super President #26 (c. 1967)
This is the dumbest cartoon ever made. Nothing will ever come close.
James Norcross, former astronaut, is elected president of the United States. He's also a superhero named Super President. He has a sort of Batcave place through a secret door in the Oval Office.
Despite the fact that his name is Super President, only one person knows that President James Norcross is Super President, his advisor Jerry.
Super President came under fire from critics and TV watchdog groups, including Action for Children’s Television, for its depiction of a national leader who was an invincible superhuman (especially since it debuted less than four years after John Kennedy’s death).[2] The National Association of Broadcasters said: “An all-time low in bad taste, with the President of the United States in a Superman role. NBC was responsible for this direct ideological approach to totalitarianism. We fear that there may be other broadcasters who are irresponsible enough to keep it in circulation”.[3]
In The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Shows, David Perlmutter says that the show is “perhaps the worst animated program in the late 1960s (its producers admitted it themselves)” and calls the superhero president “arguably the most implausible superhero narrative idea ever invented”.[4]

Most of the full episodes are unavailable, but this one, which includes 60s kids commercials and a slightly less stupid but still stupid cartoon as part of that half-hour programming block called Spy Shadow about a spy who has a living shadow that can help him out.
Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies - A regularly-published book of reviews of the prostitutes of late 18th century London

Just a warning, some of them are pretty depressing:
Starcade - A 1980s game show where both kids and adults played the latest arcade games and answered arcade game quiz questions to win prizes.
I watched this religiously because it showed games I had never seen and hoped to play. The Dragon's Lair special (Episode 38) blew my mind.
It's also really weird to see adults compete against 10-year-olds. The girl in episode 1 totally smokes the adult.
