An encyclopedia of once-common things passing us by.

(You can buy the lovely book version too.)

 

 

Here’s something new and exciting for all of us to consider: laser discs! This 1985 Entertainment Tonight video has it all: breathless descriptions of the frame-by-frame rewind feature, a remote the size of a butter dish, a TV that looks like it died in 1965, Leonard Maltin… Enjoy.

Thanks to the awesome Jack Szwergold for passing this on.
