Oddity Archive
The show
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.
The Oddity Archive is a low-key, charming web series where host Ben Minnotte digs into forgotten media and obsolete tech. While the concept itself is a perfect 10 for originality and the visuals are spot-on, the reaction is pretty split. Most people find the niche subject fascinating, but a vocal few find the pace slow and the humor doesn't always land. The biggest sticking point, frankly, is the host himself; Ben Minnotte's dry, low-energy delivery seems to be what divides viewers, with some finding it endearingly authentic and others just finding it flat. It's a love-it-or-feel-ambivalent kind of show for collectors and nostalgia buffs.
