It could even be a youtube video or movie that you don't think anyone reading this has heard of besides you.

Alright let's go, I love niche things:

Movies:

Bubba Ho-Tep
Joe's Apartment
Six String Samurai
Krull
The Greasy Strangler
A Boy and His Dog
Fido
Within the Woods
Undead or Alive
Cemetery Man

Tabletop:

Car Wars (maybe, depends on crowd)
The worlds worst diagram of ship controls included as an insert in a Paranoia box
All Flesh Must be Eaten
Fairy Meat
Cult of Ecstacy (for Mage the Ascension)
Did you know that according to Dragon Magazine players can participate in orgying for a number of days equal to their con SCORE?
Castles and Crusades
Tunnels and Trolls
Remember Car Wars? They did a crossover with GURPS, called GURPS Autoduel, and it is amazing.
HOL (Human Occupied Landfill)
The second publication of the HOL supplement, Buttey Wholesomeness, where the cover is printed BUTTery HOLsomeness. That one was just a pita to find I started wondering if it was just a PDF concept cover. Only took me like 8 years to find a physical copy.
Mars Attacks board game

Games:

Sim Tower
Redneck Rampage
The Diablo 1 expansion, Hellfire, that Blizzard said not to make but a division of Sierra of all companies yolod it into existence anyway.
The Neverhood
Toy Story for Gameboy
Battlezone, back in the day when you were fighting green triangles
Descent
I wasn't going to at first but I want to throw in some of my favorite Magic the Gathering cards: Nature's Wrath (haha, holy shit mono green, go home you're drunk), the art of the Pride secret vault thing for Bearscape, the art for Spy Network looks like Friend Computer from Paranoia, Kudzu, Stunted Growth

My music taste is so underground you guys I'm very cool like that. There's a surprising number of trans folk punk musicians from the Pacific Northwest. I'm getting sleepy but if anyone wants me to bombard them with folk punk artists (trans or otherwise) lmk I'll totally hook you up

Bubba Ho-Tep is an awesome little Bruce Campbell movie if people are looking for something to watch. I remember Fido was pretty big among B Grade / Comedy horror fans about 10-15 years ago.

Sim Tower was really fun growing up. I was expecting that when came out fallout shelter and was mad and disappointed. I feel like most people have seen screenshots or characters from The Neverhood but probably couldn't name what it was from. I never played it but remembered it growing up and only found the name out a year ago.
