most of the stuff I would point to is surprisingly up just with zero seeds, so they are probably out there on private trackers.

Was not expecting an Anthony Hopkins movie to give a null result thought Blunt the fourth man

Not even on his IMDB page which is strange.

I feel like throwing golden age musicals at you would be cheating because no one actually cares about musicals :P

Have you ever considered uploading some of this? The original Beavis and Butthead was patched back together using a combination of sources including VHS and DVD releases and uploaded to the high seas as the "King Turd Collection." This stuff could be valuable to others.

Yeah I've read about that collection. Because the officially released versions were either missing content or were inferior.

The official release was missing all or most of the music video segments, which constituted a large part of the show. They also tended to be the most entertaining part IMO.

[–] Soulifix@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah that was the content I was vaguely referring to.

And kind of agree, a lot of the show's actual episodic structure outside of the music video part, is shoddy at best. It was car crash television from the 90s, what did anyone expect?

[–] zod000@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's a great way to describe the show. I can't believe so many people desire to go back and watch it. Fun fact, I only know what was missing because my little brother bought me the original collection for Xmas when it came out, but he forgot to give it to me until the following Xmas so that he could watch them all.

Nostalgia.

It has tried to return in the early 2010s and again in the 2020s. It has not aged well and didn't really feel like it belonged anywhere within any culture of what was going on for shows around those points in time.

Yea, private tracker for torrent or private indexer for usenet are a must.

Edit: But even with those, I was not able to find the fourth man from 1986..

This is on the way to get lost media 🫢 anyone who seeds this, or uploads it to usenet is a true hero

We can not loose more media, it is our culture, we gotta fight for it, for our children, please 🙏🏻
