So grab your tinfoil hat and strap in for an hallucinogenic trip to a found footage wonderland.

Reviews

Absolutely Wild!

"Wasn’t sure what to expect from this. I randomly dove in, and what I found absolutely creased me up with its mixture of gonzo weirdness. The quality is variable with some of the mixtapes not quite hitting the spot, but well recommended - pop this in for friends and you won’t quite know what you’re Loki g at, but you won’t be able to tear yourself away."

Mark S. (5/5)

A personal favorite!

"Just an insane collection at an insane value. There is just so much content here that it'll take years to comb through. A must for movie nights with a crowd who's down. Also try and not spoil the topics before you get it, it's really half the fun!"

Emilio M. (5/5)

More mixtape fun from AGFA

"I'm a sucker for AGFA's mixtape series, so this was an easy blind buy (in more ways than one). Admittedly, the brevity of their 'The AGFA Trailer Show' and 'The Cult of AGFA Trailer Show' releases worked better for me, but there's still a ton of stuff to entertain within this set."

Andrew W. (4/5)

AFGA does it again

"found-footage insanity with Over 500 minutes of public access bizarre clips, old commercials, and weird VHS ephemera make for a truly hilarious, hallucinogenic experience."

Kevin G. (5/5)

A wealth of video mixtapes

"I love these video mixtapes of old tv stuff. Always a lot of fun to watch."

Damon H. (5/5)

AGFA - King of the Video MixTape

"This is another solid entry in ALFA'S ongoing Video Mixtape series. The best option to get a quick psychotronic fix."

Matthew D. (5/5)

This Is A Really Cool, Wild Ride!

"This awesome collection release features the VS treatment throughout the film! The various VS mixtapes are always really awesome and never fail to entertain! The peerless VS restoration process was on full display with stellar sound and picture! Thank you, VS, for continuing to lovingly restore and release so many wonderful films from every conceivable genre! You are keeping physical media alive in this streaming world we now live in! Highly recommended!"

Paul K. (5/5)

A Need for AGFA Collectors!

"What a cool collection of videos and interesting stuff to check out! This comp is a great example of what AGFA goes out to preserve. I'm especially interested by all of the music related content on these collections."

Jacob B. (5/5)

AGFA doing what it does best

"Another bizarre mix of cult like films from AGFA. Very fun if you like AGFA's mixes."

Noel H. (5/5)

Expect the unexpected

"Let's salute AGFA's amusing initiative to release these unearthed television archive mixtapes on Blu-ray. The result is sure to surprise. Expect the unexpected, while the ironic juxtaposition of absurd or contradictory elements proves entertaining. Perfect for rounding off a festive evening."
