"Off Beat Cinema" features a broad range of films described by the show's staff as "the Good, the Bad, the Foreign..." but mostly cult movies such as "Night of the Living Dead", "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" and even more art house fare such as "The Third Man" in a format not unlike the Creature Double Feature of the 1970s and 1980s. On occasion, a clip show will air featuring episodes of short features (the annual Christmas special follows this format, with another example being the “Night of Superheroes” that included Flash Gordon and Commando Cody serials and the Fleischer Studios "Superman" shorts). As with most hosted movie programs of its kind, a large portion of "Off Beat Cinema's" film catalog consists of films that lapsed into the public domain.
