Another magnificent two-hour blast of movie trailers from films left behind in the video store wastelands. 2000s thrillers, 90s ensemble casts, 80s Oscarbait and 70s sleaze.

On this program we’ve tackled the bewilderment of SNL’s infamous Season 6 (1980, post-OG cast) and Season 10 (all-timer ‘84 cast w/ Martin Short, Chris Guest, Harry Shearer). The specter of 1985’s Season 11 has next loomed large…the weird transition period when Lorne Michaels returned to bring in what he hoped was a cohesive ensemble: Robert Downey Jr, Joan Cusack, Randy Quaid, Danitra Vance, queer icon Terry Sweeny, Jon Lovitz, Nora Dunn, Damon Wayans, Dennis Miller. So we’ll watch a truly excellent doc on the subject which (trust us) covers it all better than we ever could with a sketch edit.

Our good pal JDobbs of The Midnight Now will be presenting a VAL KILMER TRIBUTE on the Museum this Saturday night at 6pm Pacific! It will kick off with a Val megamix pre-show and headlines with a screening of REAL GENIUS (1985). Hope to see you there!

Tonight we revel in the campiest arthouse film that the Sixties had to offer. Liz Taylor and Richard Burton were Hollywood’s ultimate besotted power couple, making waves with CLEOPATRA, WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF and many others. But no one could have foreseen the ultimate nonsense fest BOOM! (1968), written by Tennessee Williams and directed by Joseph Losey in a jaggedly heightened, ridiculously ambiguous fog. Watch Liz scream, watch Dick run!

If you turned on cable television at any point during the ‘90s, you couldn’t avoid seeing at least one captivatingly banal Psychic Friends Network infomercial. This telephone psychic service had Dionne Warwick as its primary spokesperson, and subsequent infomercial specials also starred fellow shameless hucksters Rip Taylor, Robin Leach and Vicki Lawrence.Anything for a buck! Tonight’s show also features an epic deep-dive into the ‘70s interactive cable wonder Qube (edited by @eschatfiche!)

Greg Eggebeen and Benjamin Shapiro first joined forces in 2012 to create a stunning feature-length work about the band Nirvana. Equal parts tragedy, comedy and rock doc, “I Hate Myself And I Want To Die” was the story of the band told through media detritus left in Kurt Cobain’s wake. A decade later, Greg (who first guest-presented the infamous “Cocktails” all the way back on MOHV Ep. #24) and Ben have refined the piece further, and will join us for a screening!

EPISODE DESCRIPTION TO COME

The wildest city in the world gets even wilder at NITE! Filmmaker and nightlife guru Adam Baran (TRADE CENTER, CIRCUS OF BOOKS) curates an after-hours examination of the brilliance and beauty of New York, New York.

A TV experiment that gives a fascinating window into the improv mind of Paul Reubens. When Joan Rivers went on break from her short-lived competitor to “The Tonight Show”, Reubens guest-hosted a whole episode in character. Watch Pee-Wee cut it up with Suzanne Somers, Frankie Avalon, and Rae Dawn Chong. We present the entire thing with no edits, to give you the full banal late-nite chat show effect!

Longtime Museum viewer Liz Hamilton threw down a curious challenge for us: to tackle the blecchy subject of “pickup artistry” in the ‘00s. So we held our breath and plunged headfirst into the icky waters of VH1’s 2007 reality show hosted by some chud nicknamed “Mystery”. See “Mystery” school a squad of fidgety goofballs on how to pick up women using odious tactics and dirtbag fashions.

Tonight we sit with David for an overview of his career and some rare clips of his early days in New Zealand television.

Gary Coleman’s star power came to an end with this jaw-dropping rare ’85 TV movie previously thought “lost” until a copy surfaced online just a few months ago. Gary plays a bullied teen who fancies himself an arsonist! Co-starring an iconically frazzled Cicely Tyson (SOUNDER), Yaphet Kotto (ALIEN, “Homicide”), Ron O’Neal (SUPERFLY), and some cousin of Travolta. Mad thanks to the intrepid collector who rescued this in the fall of 2024, to the betterment of all mankind.

The ridiculoso conclusion of Tim Heidecker’s brilliant 2017 mock murder trial from “On Cinema At The Cinema”. What could’ve been a quickie high-concept TV goof is, in Tim’s hands, a slow-cinema high-concept opus crammed with unforgettable performances. Every last detail from an anonymous Court TV-type broadcast is recreated here.

Tim Heidecker’s greatest artistic achievement is Season 10 of “On Cinema At The Cinema”, which in 2017 ditched his show’s previous format in favor of a brilliantly-rendered mock murder trial. You don’t need to be a deep-dish fan of the “Tim & Eric” universe to enjoy this masterful slice of video art, which faithfully recreates the banality of America’s justice system and contains a dozen laughs per minute. We’ve made a feature-length condensation so weighty that it’s a two-parter!

Instead of doomscrolling and feeling frozen in grief and fear over what’s currently happening (we can't believe this is STILL going on) in our beloved hometown right now, we’re bucking up to host a multi-hour fundraising livestream this Sunday, JANUARY 12. We’ll kick off at NOON Pacific, screening several episodes of a fantastic show from deep in our archives: @kj__relthmiller’s L.A. DAZE, which examines everything we love about the Southland. We’ll cap off the stream with an airing of our WILD IN THE STREETS edit, which centers on the genesis of the L.A. punk scene.

We hope you’ll consider tuning in and helping us pay tribute to the city we love, one donation at a time. We’re sending love and strength to everyone going through it right now. ♥️

Film critic/Xmas movie scholar Alonso Duralde has proclaimed NUTCRACKER: THE UNTOLD STORY the single worst Xmas film ever made. This 2010 “updating” of the classic ballet includes hip-hop orchestrations of Tchaikovsky, toy-destroying rats strutting in Nazi-esque uniforms and Nathan Lane camping it up as Albert Einstein. Tonight we Fasterpiece it, and we’ll sit down with Alonso to hear his latest thoughts on the film.

We love this guy! No matter what mood you’re in, Dom DeLuise can wrangle a smile from your face.  Burt Reynolds said it best: “Dom always made you feel better when he was around, and there will never be another like him." DeLuise worked tirelessly in all corners of showbiz from the ‘50s through the ‘00s.  Tonight we serve up some of our favorite talk show appearances of his (every one a mirthfest), along with some sketch comedy bits.
