RetroStrange Repeater is now RetroStrange Select

After a few weeks of operation, we’ve decided to rename our newest streaming channel from RetroStrange Repeater to RetroStrange Select. The curator and I believe this new name fits the intent of the channel more closely, and is less confusing to new viewers.

You can still watch at https://repeat.retrostrange.tv

RetroStrange Repeater

RetroStrange TV launched officially on March 31st, 2021 (the day before April Fools, of course). Today we’re announcing the first big addition to RSTV since it’s launch: A new separate channel called Repeater located at https://repeat.retrostrange.tv

RetroStrange Repeater is your window into The Real Good Shit. A 24/7 stream of repeating showcase content such as the newest movies and shorts we’ve added to our main channel, RetroStrange Channel One (The Feed).

Repeater will loop our latest features The Bat (1959) and First Spaceship on Venus (1960) for 1 week, so tune in if you missed those features on Movie Night. Next Sunday Repeater will switch over to horror content with new featured movies for the whole month of October.

There’s a new page on the site so you can find either channel at your leisure: Just hit up retrostrange.tv and you’ll find the channel picker.

RetroStrange Featured on Linode Craft of Code Podcast

RetroStrange producer Phil Nelson (that’s me) was featured on the Craft of Code podcast, by our web host Linode. If you want to learn a little about why we built RetroStrange TV & LOFI SCIFI, and what makes ’em tick, give the episode a listen.

YouTube Channel and Archive Updates

I’ve been making some updates to our previously kinda-of empty YouTube channel. You can now watch a bunch of previously-watched public domain gems such as Horror Express, A Bucket of Blood, The Terror and Invaders from Space. We’ll be adding more as time and energy allow.

I’ve also gone back and updated the event pages for Movie Night #1 and Movie Night #2 to include these movies as embedded videos, too. You can expect the archives to expand this weekend while we put some elbow grease into it.
