18. VIDEO STORE DAY: This is the big one. Watch something physically rented or bought from an actual video store. If you live in a place that is unfortunate enough not to have one of these archival treasures, then watch a movie with a video store scene in it at least. #vivaphysicalmedia

Perhaps you know Reed Richmond from Hell Ninja 4 and Beverly Hills Graverobber. Or maybe you realize that we are in the WNUF universe, which includes WNUF Halloween Special, Out There Halloween Mega Tape, What Happens Next Will Scare You and this movie.

On this tape, recorded back in the day when this first aired on Monster Planet in 1995, Reed and guests will share where monsters come from. Saved by Daisy Hemlock and the Center for Lost Media and Trader Tony’s Tape Dungeon, this has all the commercials, so you can feel like you’re back in 1995. Or another version of 1995 from another time and place.

This is a bit straighter than the other movies — or so it seems! — so you may be lulled into thinking it’s just a real 90s basic cable special. But then the commercials get odd — the AIDS one made my wife yell, “They can say that?” — and maybe I just want to live in a world where SciFi wasn’t SyFy and cable let me escape the news. I thought the news was bad in 1995. Thirty years later, wow, right?

This is my favorite movie that I bought this year. If all it had were the trailers, well, I’d be set. That said, Chris LaMartina could make a movie about toothpaste, and I’d order a copy. What a world he has built. Here’s hoping we get to keep coming back.

You can get this directly from the filmmaker. It includes commentary by Head Archivist Chris LaMartina, another track by Reed Richmond historian George Stover, selected trailers from Trader Tony’s Twisted Trailers, and bloopers. There’s also a reprinted copy of the October 1995 issue of WHAT’S YOUR DAMAGE?
