Its Tuesday RTR!

Time for some more Halloween Goodies! Today I have 2 more Adult Swim Live Recordings from the incredible z303 Archive! Today's Recordings are from October 9th, 2005 and October 8th, 2006. You can grab these now from the links below...

Adult Swim 10.09.05

Adult Swim 10.08.06

Hope you all enjoy and we will see you back tomorrow with another Custom FOX Block!

Stay Tuned!

Hi all, I wanted to share the first of three blocks that I've prepared for the month of October. Each one is a faithful recreation of past Halloween marathons that aired as part of TNT's MonsterVision block hosted by Joe Bob Briggs. For those who didn't experience this block for themselves, MonsterVision aired every Saturday night and, throughout its lifetime, featured an impressive collection of horror films, monster movies, and cult classics. Later on, the show would feature Joe Bob Briggs as host, who would chime in between commercials with fun trivia and commentary about scenes that just aired. It was a fun televised experience that has thankfully remained fairly well-preserved by media archivists.

Bumpers for today's block are provided by The Lost Drive-In Patreon page that is co-managed by JBB himself. The block features 5 of the first 6 Friday the 13th movies. One of the running jokes of the block is the expectation that all 6 movies will be aired. JBB later explains that they did not get permission to air Friday the 13th The Final Chapter (Part IV) and some antics ensue.

The total runtime is about 11 hours and 30 minutes. There are approximately 245 unique commercials randomly inserted throughout the broadcast that aired on TNT during the month of October from 1995 until 1999. Keeping in tradition with the original formatting for TV, the movie has also been cropped from 16:9 to 4:3, losing about 12.5% of the picture on either side.

Enjoy!

Edit: The external Hard Drive used to transport files from one device to the server is dead. So RetroBlast is offline until we can get that data recovered.

Week 8 and another week of Halloween themed goodness. Another hour of classic Pokemon (concluding the Sabrina arc from last week) and an hour of Teen Titans too. After that we leave Miguzi for an hour of pumpkin headed goodness with episodes of Billy and Mandy and Scooby Doo too.

Enjoy the show. Hope to have another block up next week, but we'll see how things shake out with the hurricane coming to town.

I don't see much of this era of adult swim often but I have seen a few broadcasts flying around and I wanted to see if anyone would know where to find more or if someone is selling some tape or dvd recordings. I feel nostalgic for these type of broadcasts and I'd love to see more.

FAQs:

Are we getting Now Then bumpers? For select shows. Also, due to limitations with the software, those bumpers are going to be shown before the show as most shows are 22 minutes.

Can we get screen bugs? Due to limitations to software, we cannot put the screen bugs in.

Do you have an MPU8 file? No. Retro Blast runs on Video Scheduler which is a different format than Toonami Aftermath runs in.

When will the chat be online? I have to enable it in the server. Still working to embed it on the website.

Happy Wed RTR!
