Unless you live under a digital rock, you already know that Obsolete soul sister Everything Is Terrible! has mad plans to collect every VHS copy of JERRY MAGUIRE in existence with the intent of turning them into a pyramid in "the desert."

Read MoreStream Movies Online, Obsolete-style!
/
Sure, I preach embracing the analog. I love my VHS tapes, and I enjoy sharing fun movies with fun people at our monthly shows. But even I fall prey to the digital. Sometimes I just want to watch those damn movies right now. That's when I stream movies online.
Read More8 Great Summer Blockbuster Movie Flops
/
Summertime brings heat, vacations, and a load of blockbuster movies. All are vying for a piece of the popcorn pie, the last chunk of change in our pockets, and Hollywood immortality.

Read MoreEUROCRIME! Mike Malloy's Italian Crime Film Doc Released on VHS
/
For hardcore film genre fans, Italian crime films of the '70s (aka poliziotteschi) have always been the bastard cousins of the better known giallo thrillers. But a few years ago, director Mike Malloy set out to change all that with his documentary EUROCRIME!, giving these hard nosed flicks the star treatment in all their groovy glory. Now, Celluloid Apocalypse is giving Malloy's film a limited edition VHS release. (Those seeking immediate gratification can stream the film on Amazon Prime.)

Father's Day is an Obsolete Holiday. It's one of those greeting card obligations that either gets lost in the shuffle of post-Memorial Day summer fun or dangles there like the crappy tie you just picked out for the man who (hopefully) raised you. As Father's Day approaches like the downtrodden door-to-door salesman that it is, we pay tribute to some truly Obsolete movie dads.
Read MoreEverybody’s Talkin’ at Me: Breaking the Wall
/
They say you’re either Beatles or Stones, Hellman’s or Miracle Whip. When it comes to breaking the cinematic ‘4th wall’ between screen characters & the viewers in their seats, I’ll fall on the audience talking to the screen side of the fence any day.
Read More8 Great Obsolete Movie Title Songs
/
Theme songs named after movies: You hear them. You hum them. You remember a line or two, and that's all you need. When a tune like that gets stuck in your craw, who you gonna call? You already know the answer.
Read MoreNight Flight: Catching the Red Eye Express
/
All aboard, tickets please! Welcome to your passport to the ‘wild side’- an enticing magic carpet ride through the darkness to lucky cable subscribers (& their vulnerable offspring). It's time for NIGHT FLIGHT. When I stepped on board, it opened the doors to new music, films and pop history I had yet to imagine, creating a river-like cultural collage that would feed my Obsolete fever dreams for years to come.
