In an act of sheer fucking luck itself, someone by the name of "Sanders" from Discord had his mom work at Cartoon Network back in the 2000s who just so happened to have the master tapes to JBVO (the Johnny Bravo talk show segments from way back then) and wouldn't you know it, one of the tapes had the elusive Dragon Ball Z talk segment that everyone has been hunting over.
Lost Media fags are eating good this month, and soon it looks like there'll be more JBVO content to be dropped in the near future.

I'm just going to post 4 things from my childhood that I can't and will never find again. 1. A VHS or Beta tape of a badly "animated" version of The Owl and the Pussy Cat that has early 80s PC "animation". 2. I think a Commodore 64 game that you are a stick figure try to escape from jail that is GTA like but 2D. 3. A maze book from the late 80's/early 90's that has an ape that is an astronaut, futuristic. 4. A creepy cursed children's book about a black blob that takes over everything, the book is in black and white with a don't pollute message. Made in the 80's/early 90's I think.

I've already discussed this on the Mario Bros. movie thread that there was a movie theater policy trailer for Crown Theaters of a CG dancing lion that used to play during the late-90s, and was criticized for very outdated CG animation that looks like it belongs in a local TV ad or a cutscene for a PlayStation game. Even as of today, this was remained lost. Only its Feature Presentation policy trailer was found in late-2020, but I also remembered it had a different music.
 
back in the day on The Comedy Channel there was a bit on some show (I think Rachel Sweet's "The Sweet Life") about My Left Foot Of Death, a faux NES game of the wheelchair guy going around killing people with his one moving foot
glancing for a minute it seems there's no record of this existing, much less actual footage?

Wasn't it proposed to be a rom hack of one of the boxing games? I remember seeing it but can't remember if it ever existed or was just something done for the show.

I recall this being MANY years before rom hacks were a common thing. There was odds and ends like Super Skate Bros. but this was ages before NES emulation was common
I think it was an overhead scrolling thing and the left foot popped out huge like, the wheelchair guy was a 16x8 sprite and the foot was its own 16x8 sprite

What i've been looking for for the last 20 years or so is a copy of an old windows game called pirates: quest for the seas. Originally got it on a shovelware cd from the late 90s and upgraded it to the registered version when it went freeware in like 2000, but not long after the website shut down and it appears to have disappeared off the face of the earth. I haven't been able to find so much as a reference anywhere beyond a couple of reddit posts from a decade ago that seem to be asking around about the same game. Its weird, I don't think i've ever seen a game disappear quite to that extent. You'd think somebody somewhere would at least have a post about it on an abandonware site or something. It was on a pretty popular shovelware cd so its not like it was that obscure

Archive.org has a freeware disc with the game inside, though I hope it's the registered version like you asked.

Two songs from "Thought Criminal", the one who composed the music for the white supremacist games Ethnic Cleansing and White Law (though mostly the main menu theme for the former). They also apparently had Resistance Records distribute a CD of their music called "Evolved".

I was scrolling through the Lost Media Wiki forums and people on there are seriously talking about "lost media" from blameinonjorge and LSSQ. I wish they could expand the focus from 90's-00's cartoons and bumpers to the bigger world but there you go. Don't know if the "lost media community" is thread-worthy or not but some of them are a personal lolcow.

Example: the two episodes of "Turn-On" got uploaded to Youtube and nobody cares! Not even featured on the Wiki. They're not great but I appreciate that they were trying to get this on prime-time network TV in the 60's, it's genuinely unsettling.

With this movie approaching 100 years in about a few years from now, hopefully the original will be found by some sheer miracle.

Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freakshow. A 1992 animated film from Japan so disturbing, perverse, and soul-crushing that it was banned, the master reels confiscated and destroyed. According to Wikipedia, it is partially lost, with "some sequences surviving only in standard definition from telecining" prior to its seizure. There are clips of it available on YouTube, but I'm not sure if the full film is available to stream on that site.

The Algorithm recommended Turn-On to me a couple hours ago. I've watched about 10 minutes of the first episode, and I don't think I've ever seen so many jokes and sketches crammed into such a short period. Many of the jokes either don't land or are no longer relevant, but there's some absolute gold in there.

Of all the jokes, the funniest one is how Turn-On was sponsored by a brand of aspirin. I can't figure out if it was deliberate on behalf of the producers and the sponsor, or if it's just a happy little accident that Turn-On ended up being kinda headache-inducing.

I have never seen a show that could be more accurately described as "it was written from the stream-of-consciousness from someone that got very high".

The description in the second episode says:
Hey! This will only be up for a little while so I don't have the shows legal team coming after me. It is for me and my friends movie night on discord. You guys can watch it but this will only be up for a little while.

so, y'know, back it up
