Jen and Tim unearth a cursed relic: the television show cancelled before the final credits even rolled, Turn On!

Thank you, SoapsNThings on YouTube, for archiving so many episodes of Peyton Place.

The offensive Aussie show Jen alluded to that also got cancelled during the first episode was "Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos." You can see the singular episode at the Internet Archive!

Finally, Gershon Kingsley's "Popcorn" is kind of a bop.

Jen and Tim examine some D-tier David Mamet: the by-the-numbers heist flick, uh, Heist.

Chris Person of the worker-owned tech news site Aftermath dug up the previously unavailable special Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants in pristine broadcast resolution and made it available to the world once again. Read an interview with Person about the process and the importance of archiving conducted by David J. Roth and Dan McQuade of Defector, and watch the special at the Internet Archive. Fun fact: David Mamet directed the special!

Person also wrote a rundown of the cutting edge of analog media archiving (as of mid-2024, anyway) that is extremely worth your time.
