Acquired movie collections
I want to use them at some point for content, but not sure how to do so. Would want the “collection” aspect to be part of the content so not one-off reactions to them individually. Any ideas?

It will be fun to explore tidbits from this collection.
I remember "Prisoners of the Lost Universe" airing regularly on cable and watching it once or twice when I was a kid in the early '80s. I think it's actually a South African production.
I recognize the names of some of those movies, and I've seen a few of them. Moon of the Wolf was actually an ABC movie of the week, not a drive-in movie, and fairly decent, though predictable and made on a TV budget. The Christopher Lee Dracula film looks like it was retitled from Dracula A.D. 1972. As for the Shatner "Kidnapping of the President", I saw part of it once. It was a low-budget Canadian film; I think he plays a secret service agent. Not memorable. Invasion of the Bee Girls is a classic grindhouse/drive-in B-movie with William Smith, who died not that long ago, could speak fluent Russian, and whose gravestone should read "He never turned down a role". I wonder if you would like some 1940's-1950's noir films? Not everyone's cup of java, but I enjoy them.
Actually the Dracula film in question is the direct sequel to Dracula A.D.1972. The original title was different in the U.S. and the U.K. can't remember exactly what it was. It was released a few years after it was supposed to be and somehow fell into public domain, the only one of the hammer dracula films to do so.
I wonder if you guys might dig The Frighteners.
Great movie
Where's The Reanimator?
Out of the box idea. Do a mashup of 10 minutes from a random spot in each movie (presumably avoiding copyright strikes), all spliced together, while you both either guess or make up what could be happening. Live stream for audience participation. Getting drunk will help too (for us the audience, and for you!).
I saw Hunk. Its a stupid harmless , not quite a comedy about a nerdy guy who makes a deal with the devil to become your quintessential Southern California 6'2 blonde muscle dude, but the devil is not someone to bargain with and I think eventually he comes to regret it and has to figure out a way to turn back to save the world. And it featured a couple of people who were once names not at this point were has beens, James Coco and Robert Morse..
A second channel 😂
A second channel will definitely become a thing at some point, but not for this.
I see you got a Shatner movie in there. Score! I have a 50 movie pack of SciFi Classics myself, which is where my uncut copy of "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" I used for the reaction you did last December came from. The movies in these collections are usually all public domain and not always the best quality, although my SCCTM was decent. Some are probably failed TV pilots or Movies of the Week from back in the day when the three major networks each had a movie every week. You could put them all on a wheel like you used for the movie lottery (any idea when you might be able to reschedule the one you had to cancel?) and call it Movie Roulette, but I'm not sure how many people would be willing to seek out a copy of many of these for an uncut reaction. The only ones you have that I've seen are five of them that were done on "Mystery Science Theater 3000", for whatever that's worth.
The movie lottery will be Monday. Great ideas, thank you
These are so far gone you can't even call them drive-in classics. Could be worth a laugh and lots of groans. ubu.
They are all pretty much low budget crap that has fallen into public domain.
I prohibit you from watching anything other than Trek, BSG, and B5. And Lost, if you can forget everything you learned about the series from your first-time viewing it.
We are actually planning on dropping everything and watching every episode of Whose Line Is It Anyway? We aren’t doing reactions, we are just gonna watch the show.
This is a pretty sad porn collection. Just sayin...
That's impressive- 120 movies so obscure that I've never heard of a single one of them. 😮
...yet all the titles sound suspiciously dirty... 🧐
Too many movies. You'll be watching those so long you'll never get back to Star Trek and BSG. LOL. I know, because my Shaw Brothers movie collections are taking up a lot of my time.
This wouldn’t be for right now, and whatever we do with them doesn’t need to be watching all of the movies
