BIRD, ZELDA & THEO "KEEP WATCHING THE SKY" PIX COURTESY 'OFF BEAT CINEMA' |
During commercial breaks, the hosts give us facts about the movie and its stars, read viewer mail and sometimes have local musical guest artists. They also air old theatre ads (like the ones that tell you about the refreshments available at the snack bar or tell young lovers to cool it with public display of affection).
Off Beat Cinema premiered in 1993 on WKBW ch. 7 in Buffalo NY. It aired in the wee hours on Fridays and/or Saturdays. In 2012, the show moved to Buffalo’s MeTV affiliate WBBZ ch. 67.
OBC now airs across U.S. on the Retro TV network Saturdays at 10 pm and at midnight on WBBZ.
But never fear! Off Beat Cinema has a You Tube “channel” where they post many of the hosted movies. It’s ideal for those who can’t watch the show on TV or are OBC fanatics who love to watch the movies over and over again.
AND NEW.... If you have a Roku Smart TV, you can download the "It's Real Good TV" channel, which features a live stream of Retro TV. You can watch Off Beat Cinema on Retro TV Sat. at 10 pm.
Here's two Off Beat Cinema movie presentations...
More Off Beat Cinema movies throughout October
