  9. Hallmark Presents: The Sounds of Halloween

  2014-10-23 · 15m

  This year's (apparently now requisite) Halloween album review. This was actually meant to be just a minisode, but it ran really long. Consider it a "bonus" Archive episode.

  10. Halloween Special 2014 (Archive Wares: Rejuvenique Facial System)

  2014-10-30 · 27m

  Test-driving a new, potential recurring concept, "Archive Wares". The idea is to look at items from the golden age of infomercials ('80's through early 2000's) and their ads and/or tutorial videos. Given that it's Halloween, it seemed only natural to discuss the most nightmare-inducting product sold via infomercials: the "Rejuvenique Facial Toning System".

  11. Local TV Vol. 4 (Local Commercials)

  2014-11-13 · 29m

  2015-02-12 · 24m

  Ladies' man that Ben and Ed are, they didn't really need this. This is really for all the lonely folks (especially the guys) that watch the Archive.

  18. The DuMont Network

  2015-01-29 · 35m

  Maybe all those DuMont jokes in all the 50's-centric Archive episodes will make sense now. Maybe.
