We made some small but important changes to the RetroStrange GIF Gallery pages, which are now MUCH more usable on phones and tablets, as well as being easier to read and navigate anywhere you use it.
We also added some new Holiday content to the GIF library, such as A Charles Dickens Christmas (1956) and A Christmas Fantasy (1962). These are watermark-free, high quality GIFs you can use anywhere you like. Enjoy!
RetroStrange Holiday Content will start on December 15th and run all the way through Xmas on December 25th, after which we’ll return to our regularly scheduled programming. Tune in Xmas week for all-holiday content, such as Santa Claus .vs. The Devil, A Charles Dickens Christmas, and more.
Of course, as we have each of the last 4 years, this December 22 and 23 RetroStrange celebrates Festivus with a 24 hour screening of our favorite short feature, The Doughnuts. Watch our old pals Homer Price, Uncle Ulysses, Aunt Aggie, and Kabuki Lady for a whole day as you compete in feats of strength, the airing of grievances and admire your sturdy Festivus Pole, ad-free, tracker-free, on RetroStrange TV.
The full list of Xmas / Holiday content from the RetroStrange Catalog:
All of these are sourced from the Internet Archive, hallowed be thy name.
RetroStrange Leftoverfest, our yearly streaming salute to short form non-TV non-feature-length content, is nearly upon us! The RSTV Library currently has a little over 200 items in Leftoverfest this year, including the 10 NEW shorts we’re adding to the rotation as part of our programming. Here are the new ones:
Shorts subject to change and we may add a few more shorts not listed here just for fun.

As we have each of the last three years, RetroStrange is using the day-after-American-Thanksgiving hangover to shine a light on the items in our catalog that aren’t quite feature length, aren’t quite TV length, they’re somewhere in between. It’s a channel takeover of short subjects that we call it Leftoverfest, and this year we’re going to continue the tradition by debuting some new shorts but also going to give you a new feature to kick things off: The Great Gabbo (1929)
Join us for Leftoverfest 2024 starting Friday November 29th and running until December 1st at Midnight live on RetroStrange TV at live.retrostrange.com
