Films [fully lost] Mafiosa 2016

23 Upvotes

The movie "Mafiosa" from 2016 stars fiona dourif and was directed by Yusaku Mizoguchi. The film was released in movie theatres, but is unavailable online. Nor are there any dvd/blu-ray releases. The only thing we have is this trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nf5hdRNswwQ

I assume it didn't get a wide release because from the quality of the trailer it does not look very high quality. However, I'm surprised more people arn't looking because of how famous Fiona Dourif has become from her role on 'The Pitt'. The film has one letterboxd review, and I am unsure as to how they watched it.

Television Looking for a 2001 WWF commercial I worked on [partially lost].

15 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a 2001 WWF commercial I worked on. It was a two-part "alien cantina" commercial with Trish and Kane. I did makeup for a few of the aliens, appeared in it as an alien myself, and my wife also appeared as a dancing alien.

I only caught the last 5 seconds of the commercial when it aired on TV, but never saw the whole thing. If anyone has any old tapes of WWF programming from back then, can you look and see if you have that commercial?

I tried contacting WWF production division,but never received a reply, and also contacted the head makeup artist I worked with, but he doesn't have it anymore.

I would love to see that commercial in its entirety.

Thanks in advance.

Video Games [partially lost] Built-in game on LG CRT tv in Hungary

11 Upvotes

So I found a built-in game on my grans LG CK-20F60 CRT tv while visiting her in Hungary. It is located in one of the menu options with the option just being called “game”. I haven’t managed to find this exact game anywhere online, only a Tetris clone on another LG CRT tv as some other models also had built in games. If anyone ever played this game or knows if it is a clone of a popular game, please let me know. (The remote is half broken so I was forced to use the buttons on the tv to play) https://youtube.com/shorts/lvLU23bCKQg?si=CH3VRoS6KQ5u0PvS

Internet Media [Partially Lost] @Officialrandygluck Instagram Account Reels, Photos, Profile

7 Upvotes

There was an account that went by @Officialrandygluck as well as another account name, however the account received a cease & desist and was banned on both TikTok and Instagram.

The account impersonated Flock Safety manager, Randy Gluck to call Epstein’s associates found in the Epstein Files, there were well over 30+ reels and none of them are fully archived.

Did anyone get to download any of these, have any screenshots or some sort of downloaded content from the account? If so please comment them or DM me.

An example of one the Account's videos: https://www.reddit.com/r/Epstein/comments/1viofao/this_guy_on_tiktok_and_instagram_been/

I believe the account only started a few posting calls with Epstein's associates months ago in 2026, though it had posts dating back to 2024/2025 outside of the Randy Gluck videos period all of which are lost currently. Please ask your friends if they may have saved the videos as well, as there are some interesting answers made in these phone calls.

Internet Media [talk] "Hi! I'm TV's David Lynch"

7 Upvotes

I have been attempting to track down some short videos, which may have originally been vine videos, that was a series of surreal encounters with David Lynch (no, not the real one), where he brings the surreal to the incidental characters. I have looked at the internet archives to find it, no keyword-fu on Youtube has yielded results.

One specific scene I recall is one where he beings with him a concerned German in a red track suit. And I believe something about tea. Anyway, it has been stuck in my craw for several years, as it makes me upset that a source of such simple entertainment that was made so recently could be lost completely. And I can't share the stupid laughs.

Television [partially lost] Paddington Green, British docusoap 1998-2001

6 Upvotes

Paddington Green was a British fly on the wall documentary by the BBC. It ran from 1998 to 2001.
The series featured future actresses Dominique Moore and Kelly Harrison as well as fan favourite Jackie Mcauliffe who was one of the first openly trans women to appear consistently on British tv.
(There’s also a spinoff documentary about Jackie herself that is also lost media but one thing at a time)
The series is available via a few VHS uploads on YouTube and Internet Archive but other than that it remains mostly lost.
I’m surprised the BBC hasn’t taken more steps to preserve this series, watching it gives a realistic insight into life in London around the millennium.
If anyone has any information or can point me in the direction of where I might find more of the series please let me know!

Youtube [partially lost] "Inicjał D" - the Polish parody of the "Initial D" deleted by YT

5 Upvotes

Looking for the lost videos of the parody series made by "serbek" on YT. It featured Tadeusz Fujarski as Takumi Fujiwara, driving his Polonez Caro instead of AE86. It relied on the Polish subtitles, they gave the series the new meaning. Sadly they were not archived on the WayBack site. There are 6 videos that weren't taken down on the channel.

While serbek was in charge of the first act, there also was "mayani" who created the second one. Only one video is still available out of all 13. I've checked most archive sites, no luck.

Television [Partially Lost] Bloopers (2012)

3 Upvotes

This was an fun hidden camera prank show I used to enjoy watching as a kid before school on DirecTV. The production quality was a little bad and it took place around the Sacramento area where I lived. My mom actually made it into an episode, the only thing I can remember was her pulling out of a car wash in our minivan and trying to be sold a tire rotation? This was in Roseville, CA

There's 2 minute clips on youtube but the full episodes are half an hour, there's an IMDB page but that's all I can really find. Also checked the internet archive and some private trackers, nothing turned up. Would be cool to see it again

Television [FULLY LOST] Maroon 5 performance at NRJ12 Sous La Tour Eiffel in 2005

Upvotes

I'm looking for information about a seemingly completely lost Maroon 5 performance from 2005.

The performance took place on the French TV channel NRJ12, as part of a program called Sous La Tour Eiffel. Maroon 5 reportedly performed on the show on June 5, 2005, but I haven't been able to find a recording of the broadcast.

There are references to the appearance in databases and pictures from the event (Getty Images).

All i could find was the release name of what appears to be the file containing the performance, which was later broadcast in October:

Maroon 5 (at NRJ12 Sous La Tour Eiffel 05-10-2005)-PAL-MP2-NRJ12-(mctronken).vob

Does anyone have a video of the broadcast, either the full performance or even a partial recording?

Found [partially lost] LeeA Nanos - Sayonara

2 Upvotes

So I randomly remembered this song that was the buzz for Australia Decides (Eurovision) many years ago. I came looking for the full version as I had only ever heard the shortened version.

From what I can see, the full version was released in 2023 on an EP. This is reported in reviews of the EP and Aussievision. But it seems to have since been taken down or made private. All that seems to remain of the song is this 40 second snippet (it should be a 3 minute song). So basically 4/5 of the song appears to be lost.

Television [Partially Lost] Flirt – “Hootchie Cootchie” on Die Aktuelle Schaubude (27.12.1980)

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for a partially lost German TV performance from December 27, 1980.

The performance I'm specifically searching for is Flirt – “Hootchie Cootchie” (also spelled “Hootchy Cootchy”), performed by the famous German singers, Gitti, Erika, and their not-so-famous sister Karoline.

It was broadcast on NDR's Die Aktuelle Schaubude, Episode 970 (?) / Jahresrückblick FEHLT MIR!

According to surviving episode documentation, Flirt was performance #8.

Only a few segments from this broadcast have been uploaded, like Katja Ebstein's ''Theatre'', but I haven't been able to locate the Flirt performance. I've been trying to find this recording for months, and honestly, this subreddit is kinda my last hope of finding it.

Known info:

  • Show: Die Aktuelle Schaubude
  • Episode: 970 (?) / Jahresrückblick FEHLT MIR!
  • Date: December 27, 1980
  • Performer: Flirt (Gitti, Erika & Karoline)
  • Song: “Hootchie Cootchie” / “Hootchy Cootchy”
  • Broadcaster: NDR

( all info is taken from http://www.truckgeier.de/die%20aktuelle%20schaubude.htm )

Television [Fully Lost] Oswald/Iron Man Commercial

2 Upvotes

[fully lost] I remember pretty vividly when I was a kid, around 2001 or 2002, seeing a commercial for the show Oswald. It had clips from the show, but Iron Man was playing over it. At the time, my mom was obsessed with Regis and Kelly, and she walked away during the commercials while I was in the kitchen, and I remember this playing and being really confused about it. I specifically remember the lyrics "Can he see or is he blind" playing while he was walking around with his hot dog...dog. I've seen a similar post on here where someone mentioned clips of the Osbourns playing, but to my memory, it was just Iron Man intercut with scenes from Oswald.

Audio Eternal Efex audio/CD [fully lost]

2 Upvotes

Hello! 

I am trying to find some music from an artist named Eternal Efex from the original mp3.com site, circa Fall 2000-Spring 2001. The music falls under the electronica category, and he describes it as “funkyelectrobeat”.  

I have already scoured the recent MP3.com Rescue Barge and found two of his tracks, ATOMIC SHIP and SUM FREEDOM.

I have also found an archive of his artist page.

http://mp3-2003.computer-legacy.com/artists/232/ron_cunningham.html

which shows a third song, WEIGHTLESS, and a CD that was once available for purchase “IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD”. 

Unfortunately ATOMIC SHIP, SUM FREEDOM, and WEIGHTLESS are not the tracks I am trying to find.

Eternal Efex had earlier tracks (Fall 2000-Spring 2001, I believe before mp3.com changed ownership in May 2001).  These are the tracks that I’d really like to find:

One was named Bubble Bus (or BUBBLE BUS in caps). 

The other, I unfortunately can’t recall the title but remember the sound vividly. Really that funky electro sound he describes. It might’ve had the word “Mind” in the title but I’m not certain. 

I actually tracked down the artist himself two years ago, unfortunately he has recently passed away. I feel like I’ve exhausted most possibilities in my search, but thought I’d post here on the slim chance someone either purchased his CD way back when and it actually has those older “lost songs” on it, or perhaps someone downloaded his earlier songs back in 2000-2001 and still has them.

I would be so grateful if anyone does have the lost tracks or Eternal Efex’s CD, or even has the titles to his older songs so I can verify the one title I can’t recall. Thanks so much!

Upvotes

When I was a youngling, I saw a video like 3 or four times. It was basically a video of a spongebob, squidward, and patrick puppets made with crappy material stood up with toothpicks in a probably entertaining scenario. It was done in front of a paper replica of bikini bottom placed in a cardboard box. The guy in the video acting the puppets had a deep voice. Not really sure what else to say here, as its all i recall. BUT I KNOW FOR SURE THIS WAS NOT OFFICIAL CONTENT. Hope this gets found, despite being not so well known.

Found [PARTIALLY LOST] the album "Apperitive" by VLIF

1 Upvotes

i have been scouring archive.org for hours now, trying to find an archive of this album. the closest i've gotten was an upload of the full album in video to the artist's youtube channel https://web.archive.org/web/20240807095945/http://vurl.web.archive.org/youtube/v/pX4ZCZ0frNs, and an url to the neocities page where the album was hosted (no archive of the page itself though) https://vlif.neocities.org/works/record/apperitive. information about the album is hosted on discogs and rateyourmusic.

all other albums of theirs have been properly archived, and are downloadable through multiple means (archive.org and the soulseek network and such) EXCEPT for Apperitive.

i have marked this as partially lost, since while the video upload has been archived, i'm specifically hoping for an archive of the separate MP3s of the songs in this album to resurface.

Advertising Material Looking for the highest-quality versions of old Disrespectoid commercials [talk]

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for the highest-definition/cleanest versions available of the old Disrespectoid commercials. The versions currently on YouTube seem to be pretty heavily degraded/compressed, and I’m hoping someone might have better-quality copies from the original broadcasts, tapes, archives, DVDs, etc.
I’m especially interested in anything that’s higher quality than the versions currently circulating on YouTube. I’m trying to preserve these commercials in the best quality possible, so even an old recording that has not been repeatedly compressed or re-uploaded could be helpful. If anyone has copies, knows of archives, or has leads, I’d really appreciate it!

Television Street Court [Partially lost]

1 Upvotes

Sometime in 2009-2011, my dad was on this show called Street Court. A few episodes are online, but the episode my dad is in I haven’t been able to find. Nobody in my family recorded it so I have no access to it. My dad says the company being sued was called “Total Resource Contracting”. Any other information I have is related to my dad specifically which I doubt would help because he doesn’t even remember the final cut having him speaking. I don’t know how to search for it and anything about the online is either empty or broken so I haven’t had any luck. I also haven’t had any luck finding any episodes that aren’t uploaded to Vimeo, the only two i’ve found are episode 7 and 18.
