- 3 Elvis Has(n't) Left The Building (Elvisploitation) Aug 3, 2017 · 35m A King-sized episode for a King-sized anniversary. Of course, we can't play any actual Elvis, so let's look at some of the cash-ins based around the man.

- 9 "Telecine" Film Transfer (A Nightmare In Celluloid) (Halloween Special 2017) Oct 26, 2017 · 31m The scariest (in the existentialist sense, at least) Archive Halloween to date!
- 10 VHS Vault Vol. 12 (Child Safety Videos) Nov 9, 2017 · 29m Let’s reminisce about the great bully/child abductor epidemic of the ‘90’s.
- 11 The Max Headroom Incident Revisited (30 Years On) Nov 22, 2017 · 21m The Archive returns to its deepest roots (largely because it was convenient).

- 13 Christmas Special 2017 (Ben's Christmas Clunkers) Dec 21, 2017 · 38m Broken equipment, bad records and loopy videos—in other words, your standard Archive Christmas.
- 14 Phoney Nostalgia Jan 4, 2018 · 21m No fees! No contracts! No service! Dial 1-800 ARCHIVE and save 0%!

- 16 Ben's Music "Career", Vol. 1 (The Outsider years, Pt. 1) Feb 1, 2018 · 39m Bring your earplugs! And, no, this isn’t false modesty—these recordings are pretty harsh (in every meaning of the word).
- 17 Dolby Noise Reduction (The Hard Way) Feb 15, 2018 · 19m This is what happens when Benny-boy’s control-freak tendencies get the best of him. Honestly, it’s not too terrible. Shame the product is mediocre.
- 18 Laserdisc, Vinyl & Cassette Computer Programs Mar 1, 2018 · 22m The Archive sets sail for the United Kingdom in search of some unusual computer storage and sharing methods—we weren’t disappointed.
- 19 VHS Vault Vol. 13 (Movin' Out) Mar 15, 2018 · 27m No Billy Joel songs were harmed in the making of this episode.
- 20 Silent-Era Talking Pictures Mar 29, 2018 · 22m These talking pictures will never catch on…come to think of it, these didn’t.
- 21 Vinyl Potpourri Apr 12, 2018 · 27m Funny how a little kiddie music, a little commercialism and a heaping helping of Easy Listening stewed in someone’s garage for 40+ years equals such a lovely sonic bouquet.
- 22 Loudness Wars Apr 26, 2018 · 23m Finally! An Archive episode with true A E S T H E T I C S!
- 23 Ben Vs. The Reel-To-Reel (Round 2) May 10, 2018 · 22m …because the first reel-to-reel worked so well.
- 24 Local Flavor (Part 1: Nostalgia) May 24, 2018 · 30m The Archive is getting ready to leave Beautiful Downtown Aurora. Better look at some of our local stuff before we go.
- 25 Local Flavor (Part 2: Anti-Nostalgia) Jun 7, 2018 · 33m Let’s close our Beautiful Downtown Aurora years without any tears (maybe).
