In April 2012, Colorado resident and former indie folk musician Ben Minnotte suffered a car crash that left him without wheels, without a job and with a damaged ribcage. Trying to think less about his pain, he decided to look back on his childhood curiosity with technology and make an article about the ''MaxHeadroom'' incident in June 2012. However, he discovered that his humor barely made any sense written, so he decided to make a one-off podcast. But then that was scrapped as well since there's a whole ''video'' component to the whole thing. So what did he do? He decided to try his hands out at being an internet CausticCritic. And, thus, the '''''Oddity Archive''''' was born.

It discusses the odder, often [[NightmareFuel scarier]], parts of film, TV, music and technology, and makes riffs on certain things.
