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.

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 Movie Night: 4/20 Fest

Starting at 5:00pm Pacific we’ll whet your whistle with 30 minutes of goofy fun shorts, and then get real (silly) with Marihuana: Assassin of Youth, a 1937 anti-weed propaganda film. We’ll keep the party going after with an hour of shorts and cartoons, then our main event: The grand-daddy anti-drug propaganda of ’em all, Reefer Madness. Then, to send you off to slumber with a smile on your face 4 back to back to back to back showings of The Doughnuts.

The RetroStrange 4/20 Marathon is 2 classic propaganda features, and a dozen tripped-out cartoons and shorts that pair well with getting your smoke on.

RetroStrange Movie Night: The Screaming Skull

The next RetroStrange Movie Night is Saturday, February 26th! Our feature will be The Screaming Skull (1958). You may remember this film from Season 9 of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Most movie nights have been double features, but we’ll be doing things a little differently this time. Instead of two movies starting a bit too early on the west coast and a bit too late on the east coast, we are having TWO shows in the same day to accommodate our viewers in multiple time zones: 7pm EST and then again at 7pm PST.

We hope you’ll join us this weekend on RetroStrange.TV.
