With the demise of the small UHF stations (like KTMA), the cheap (and sometimes out-of-copyright) movies they used to show might be harder to find. But it appears that SUBCHANNELS in the new broadcast digital system are CHOCK-FULL of them!

If you have a "digital cable" system, you can occasionally find these channels hidden away at the high numbers (say, 1500 (!)). If you happen to have a "TV Antenna", you can attach it to your digital TV (and make sure to tell the TV that you wish to
tune to antenna-based channels), and then find these channels (at locations such as "4-3" or "12-2").

It appears that many of the old original "Mystery Science Theater 3000" movies are still being aired this way, along with many others which look EMINENTLY MSTable!

The terrorists already control the TV networks, so
they've already won that battle. But there's still DVDs
of MST3K, an excellent source of cheesy movies, with
running commentary too. And for non-msted movies in
hi-def, there's blu-rays out there of movies like Manos:

A list of movies you'ved watched from archive.org might help.
We need to watch as much cheesy movies as possible to defeat
terrorism.
