The show debuted on Buffalo's WKBW on Halloween 1993 as an antidote to late-night infomercials. The show and its menagerie of flicks became popular locally, but ''Off-Beat Cinema'' didn't go national until the late-[[TheOughties Oughties]] when it was picked up by Retro TV. In 2012, the show [[ChannelHop Channel Hopped]] to Buffalo's WBBZ, where it airs at midnight on Saturdays following ''{{Svengoolie}}''.
