Hey guys, dycaite here. | |||
So, as a lot of you are probably aware (from either the forums, the shoutbox or the Discord), there has been a lot of buzz recently about a supposed leak of the [[The Christine Chubbuck Tape (Lost On-Air Suicide Footage; 1974)|Christine Chubbuck tape]] that turned up in a Top 5 video on YouTube (the video in question [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8agGtFmAJFQ can be found here]). I avoided reporting on this in any official manner until such a time as some concrete proof of either its legitimacy or, more likely, it's illegitimacy had come to light (unlike ''some'' so-called "news" outlets, who practically touted it as hard fact), but I can now confirm that the clip is indeed a fake, nothing more than a well done re-enactment. | |||
The clip was confirmed fake a couple of days back by Gordon Galbraith, news director of WXLT at the time, who posted a Facebook message outlining the reasons for the tape being fake, a screenshot of which [http://i.imgur.com/FToXkc5.png can be found here]. | |||
Randy has also done a short V-Log on the tape and its newly proven illegitimacy, which can be seen above. | |||
So, that's that; case closed. This leaves us with the conclusion that the clip was faked purely for publicity reasons and while I don't necessarily want to incite condemnation of NationSquid, I think most of you would agree that it's a pretty unsavoury thing to have done; here's hoping he finally does the right thing and comes clean about it now instead of carrying on the charade. | |||
Take it easy guys. | |||

Hey guys, dycaite here.
So, as a lot of you are probably aware (from either the forums, the shoutbox or the Discord), there has been a lot of buzz recently about a supposed leak of the Christine Chubbuck tape that turned up in a Top 5 video on YouTube (the video in question can be found here). I avoided reporting on this in any official manner until such a time as some concrete proof of either its legitimacy or, more likely, it's illegitimacy had come to light (unlike some so-called "news" outlets, who practically touted it as hard fact), but I can now confirm that the clip is indeed a fake, nothing more than a well done re-enactment.
The clip was confirmed fake a couple of days back by Gordon Galbraith, news director of WXLT at the time, who posted a Facebook message outlining the reasons for the tape being fake, a screenshot of which can be found here.
Randy has also done a short V-Log on the tape and its newly proven illegitimacy, which can be seen above.
So, that's that; case closed. This leaves us with the conclusion that the clip was faked purely for publicity reasons and while I don't necessarily want to incite condemnation of NationSquid, I think most of you would agree that it's a pretty unsavoury thing to have done; here's hoping he finally does the right thing and comes clean about it now instead of carrying on the charade.
Take it easy guys.

Gooood evening, dycaite here, back with another notice board post this fine February; keeping the intros short this time, so here we go!
- A new episode of the Lost Media Chronicles has been released! This time Randy covers the Dawn Brancheau death footage, as well as other lost media relating to Tilikum the whale, who died early last month. Another great episode, check it out above! Also, it should go without saying, but this episode covers some NFSL subject matter - you have been warned.
- The once-lost 1924 silent film Three Days to Live (one of the earliest known films from iconic actor Frank Capra's filmography) has been restored by the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia and will be premiering at Canberra's Arc Cinema on February 5th! I really wish I were able to attend myself, but Canberra is quite a ways out from me and would be a trip that I simply can't afford at this time, but I highly encourage any fellows Aussies in or around Canberra to go, especially given as it's the final release from the NFSA Restores initiative; big thanks to the NFSA for restoring and bringing this film back into the public viewing arena, and for reaching out to us about the upcoming screening!
- The English version of Terrifying 9.11 has been dumped and released online! Big thanks go to Ryan Silberman for the acquisition of the cart (and custom trailer, seen above) and to taizou at Handheld Underground for another fantastic rom dump, now available here!
- Another large collection of Chris Farley era Shrek concept art/production materials has been unearthed! The images, found on auction/item valuing website WorthPoint and can be viewed via this thread on the LMW forums! Thanks once again to unclesporkums for the heads up!
That's all for now, 'til next time!

What's up everyone, dycaite here with a new notice board post to kick off the new year and what better way to do so than with some found media and updates, am I right? Damn right I am :P Let's get into it:
- The remaining 8 missing episodes of Little Shop have all been found and uploaded to YouTube! This renders the series now fully found and in its English dub, no less (with the exception of episode 9, which is only available in German). Big thanks go to The Little Shop Archive for unearthing the missing episodes, the first of which can be seen above!
- Christine, the second half of the Christine Chubbuck Sundance "duology" has been released on iTunes! Without wanting to go on too much of a ramble here, this is an absolutely phenomenal film and I wholeheartedly recommend it, not just to those fascinated by the story of Christine, but to film buffs of all kinds. It really is remarkable viewing and will most definitely end up on my top films of 2017, likely in the number one spot. Need I say more? Check it out here, you won't regret it.
- All 52 episodes of My Life Me have been found in their English dub! Huge thanks go to Mellow Margarine for tracking down, ripping and supplying me with the episodes and to Pan-Pizza for putting him in contact with me; you can enjoy(?) all of the episodes above, via our Vimeo channel!
- Randy has released a new episode of the Lost Media Chronicles! This one is a crossover with Randy's new series Adventures in Vinyl Land, for reasons that will become apparent when watching the episode; another great instalment, check it out above! One more quick note: for those of you who were asking about the missing Jeff Buckley LMC episode, we are happy to report that it is now available once again! You can catch it here. Thanks Randy!
- Bunyan and Babe has been released! Not only has this film been released after having spent years in development hell, it has been put out on Google Play completely free of charge! Big thanks to everyone involved in getting this film out in the open and for free, no less; we commend you!
- More footage from Mess O' Blues (the prototype Johnny Bravo short) has surfaced! The footage comes courtesy of YoshiKiller2S and was sourced from a short documentary included on a Johnny Bravo Season 1 DVD release. The 5 minute documentary can be seen above; thanks Yoshi!
- Several clips from The Dream of Hamish Mose have been released! This comes off the back of news that a release of the film may indeed be coming in the future, but that there is still a lot to sort out beforehand; here's hoping it happens. Big thanks to Films Around the World (who currently possess the master reels) for releasing these clips and to Uncle Sporkums for bringing them to our attention! You can watch the two clips yourself via the above links.
That ought'a do it for now. Until next time, goodnight, and keep watching the skies!
