MHV #281: CLOCKWATCHERS
The other incredible ‘90s anti-capitalist office comedy alongside OFFICE SPACE. Whereas OFFICE SPACE had an all-male starring cast, here we’ve got the troika of Parker Posey, Toni Collette, and Lisa Kudrow. Under the fluorescent lights, these unbelievably charming ladies will make you feel seen amongst your own desk jockey struggles, worker solidarity dreams, and Kafka-esque nightmares. We’ll watch CLOCKWATCHERS in full, no edits.

MHV #280: THE ÜBER-GARBAGE PLATE
We can’t stop ripping random rad stuff from YouTube. We just can’t stop!!! And one of our favorite kinds of Museum segments is the “garbage plate”, where we toss disparate heaping handfuls of this primordial video ooze against the wall to see what sticks. Tonight, we load up on a buffet of the funniest and garbage-iest of garbage plates: miming for radio, the Irish king of snus, a gay Ghostface, Tim Curry doing the Rock, Ann Peebles not standing the rain, Phil Hartman receiving a Colon Blow, Easterns Motors, Wet Pets, self-help word salad, a shocking turn of events on “The Ricki Lake Show”, Cool Cat’s filthy lies, Bea Arthur vs. Harvey Firestein, Kool Keith yammering about seltzer, teen werewolves in the news and discontinued cookies we miss!

MHV REWIND: EPISODE 10: THE UGLY LITTLE BOY
We close out the year with one of the Museum’s greatest episodes from its 2020 inception! Not only will you get to see Bret with shorter hair (natch), sitting on his front porch, but Ep. #10’s headliner is still one of the freaky-deakiest things we’ve ever aired on the channel. Nothing will prepare you for “The Ugly Little Boy”: a time-travel tale of a Neanderthal thrust into the dystopian future, and the nurse who loves him.

MHV #276: XMAS MOVIE FASTERPIECE-FEST
Originally published in 2010, “Have Yourself A Movie Little Christmas” is culture critic/Xmas movie scholar Alonso Duralde’s epic tome on the grimiest and silliest holiday cinema ever filmed. Tonight we snow-plow through three Fasterpieces that Alonso recommends: the 2024 viral Netflix hit HOT FROSTY, the Cold War-era Mexican mirth machine SANTA CLAUS (1959), and the saccharine smalltown union-busting BS of BELIEVE (2016).

MHV #275: CALIFORNIA SPLIT
The prolific work of Seventies maverick Robert Altman still looms large over our movie memory. Tonight we watch CALIFORNIA SPLIT (1974) in full: one of Altman’s best, and one of Elliott Gould’s greatest performances. Gould’s paired with George Segal, who brilliantly essays a neurotic bromance’d pair of degenerate gamblers. Together they wander through a hazy SoCal filled with dive bars, poker clubs, sex workers, and bookies out to break some legs.

MHV #274: SCTV: THE COMMERCIAL PARODIES
Martin Short, Catharine O’Hara, Rick Moranis, Andrea Martin, Joe Flaherty, John Candy, Dave Thomas and Eugene Levy absolutely smash it. For some reason we’ve never tackled SCTV on MOHV before, so we’ll change that with this absolute doozy. SCTV’s whole premise was transmissions from their fake TV station in “Melonville”; this full hour of their commercial parodies is an exercise in how long you can continuously LOL.

MHV #273: THE STAIRWAY TO STARDOM MIXTAPE
Before “American Idol”, there was “Stairway To Stardom”: an Eighties NYC public access show that felt like a broadcast from the faux TV station in TWIN PEAKS. From homebrewed R&B party hits to aggro stand-up comics, from amateur magicians to interpretive dance by zombified children, “Stairway To Stardom” is an unending trove of bizarro entertainment that was a staple amongst OG tape traders for decades.

MHV #272: MST3K - MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE
As we reach Thanksgiving, we offer one of MST3K’s finest moments. There’s nothing quite like the spacey brain-broken witlessness of Sixties regional horror MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE…which might be the most mutated anti-film the gang ever attempted to riff on. Imagine a Beatles-era version of THE ROOM, but it’s a horror film.

MHV #271: Fasterpiece Theater: ISHTAR
In the annals of troubled Hollywood productions, Elaine May’s ISHTAR remains one of the wildest stories. This ‘80s adventure comedy (a cross between ROMANCING THE STONE and an Apatow-style riff fest) from idiosyncratic genius May drove Warren Beatty, Dustin Hoffman, and Columbia Pictures to the brink of sanity as the project ended up costing today’s equivalent of $140 million and critics were lukewarm at best to it. Watch highlights from the thing and judge for yourself.

MHV #270: MORE COMPLETELY MEDIOCRE BULLSHIT YOU’VE COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ABOUT
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.

MHV #269: JOHN LYDON’S JUKEBOX JURY
A gazillion watts of entertainment value radiates from UK punk demon John Lydon (Sex Pistols, Public Image Ltd.) as he terrorizes the BBC’s milquetoast panel show of celebrity record reviewers. Originally a Sixties thing, “Jukebox Jury” was revived for a single season in ‘79, and it’s one of the most watchable British banalities of its era. In this infamous episode, Lydon spars with fellow panelist Joan Collins over tacky musical opinions and professes his disdain for pretty much everyone and everything.

MHV #268: THE DR. LOOMIS TAPES
We started this Halloween season with Donald Pleasance, and now we come full-circle! “The Dr. Loomis Tapes” is the Museum’s revolutionary new take on the classic HALLOWEEN slasher franchise, told solely through the eyes of Pleasance’s unstable (and possibly wasted) psychiatric savior. Watch as Loomis gets increasingly unhinged and battered as the series wanes on.

CHAKI’S HALLOWEEN PARTY
FRIDAY NIGHT HALLOWEEN PARTY feat. BRET ON BASS: For the first time since before Museum of Home Video was created, I’m playing bass at an IRL show in Los Angeles. Museum friend Chaki has organized a one-off covers band for a show at the Kibitz Room (next door to my beloved Canter’s Deli) on Fairfax Avenue. Come see us on Friday 10/24, it’s free admission!
MHV #267: ATLANTA: “Teddy Perkins”
Within the sparkling legacy of Donald Glover’s Afrosurrealist TV opus “Atlanta” lies the thoroughly creepy, horror-twinged episode where Donnie plays a demented, rich guy resembling Michael Jackson, dressed as Hugh Hefner. Tonight we luxuriate in the uncomfortable cinematic fantastic-ness of “Teddy Perkins”, a two-hander between Glover and LaKeith Stanfield.

MHV #266: TIMEKEEPERS OF ETERNITY
A frenzied found footage take on the Stephen King ‘90s TV miniseries THE LANGOLIERS, but with a twist! THE TIMEKEEPERS OF ETERNITY was meticulously crafted by an intrepid solo Euro artist who edited a Fasterpiece Theater-style LANGOLIERS cutdown, printed each frame to paper, and animated it into a brand-new creature feature with Bronson Pinchot (who previously played a side character) as the de facto star. One of your new favorite King adaptations, which must be seen to be believed.

MHV #265: Fasterpiece Theater: TERROR IN THE AISLES
To kick off the Halloween season, we’ve Fasterpiece’d an already amazing Eighties found footage feature that uses an avalanche of horror cinema’s greatest hits (up to that point). Nancy Allen and a somewhat soused-looking Donald Pleasence host TERROR IN THE AISLES: a moody, atmospheric early take on the “supercut” that might end up becoming one of your favorite horror films.

One of the crown jewels of the PBS kids’ canon. “Zoom” was, simply put, a dynamite joyous treasure. Imagine a major network variety special with sketches, song and dance…but with a cast of endearing pre-teen Boston theater kids and a fun, literate script. Tonight we air the uncut pilot: 30 minutes of top-shelf showbiz edutainment.
