Ep. 16: Enjoying a Big Reveal


In this installment, I clean up a little old business regarding those "unrecoverably absent" portions of SciFi's three-part miniseries "Tin Man" from last time and rule out a possibility on Crowdsourcing Exhibit C, the crowd scene in the French Quarter of New Orleans. My Friday Night Feature explores a season 1 episode of "Samantha Who" and a bombshell revelation from season 1 of "Pushing Daisies."

VideoFuzzy 1.0 - a folder packed with longhand listings and printouts of what's on all of my VHS tapes from back when they were all VHS tapes. This little gem surfaced as part of transferring files to our new PC when I found a file from 11 years ago, 23 pages listing as far as I'd gotten in my VHS collection at the time. Now it's all on DVDs, and the cataloging ... continues.


My Classic Collection traces the 1.0 version of this video cataloging project, episodes of NBC's "Life" and "The Universe" on the History Channel, and ABC's presentation of Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events." My Current Collection has logged nearly a score of "Supernaturals," a few more "Fawlty Towers" and closed out my collection of "Archers" and "Brockmires." I saved a standout episode of "The Family Guy" and determined that I'm going to go back in and recatalog my episodes of "The President Show" to make them easier to navigate. Finally, in What I've Been Watching, I can't say I stayed spoiler-free on "Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi," but I can say it's absolutely worth a view.

Ep. 15: Adventures in Absentia


In this installment, my Friday Night Feature on "Tin Man" opens onto what appears to be a puzzling, unrecoverable absence of missing media, and while talking out my next move I comment on MTV News and anti-piracy efforts. My Classic Collection offers up a few more Kathy Griffin stand-up specials, and my Current Collection sparks some commentary on "Bob's Burgers."

In What I've Been Watching, I spend a weekend clearing movies from the DVR including "Dark Shadows," "Insidious," "Pulp Fiction" (one of my many, many recordings), "Guys and Dolls," "ParaNorman" and "Cabin in the Woods," tho I am thwarted yet again in my viewing of "Hocus Pocus."

Also, I draw some parallels between Pixar’s brilliant Dia de los Muertos epic "Coco" (go see it -- go see it now) and Laika's "Kubo and the Two Strings" from last summer, and I close out with some comments on Carol Burnett's delightful 50th Anniversary special.

Ep. 14: A Celebration of Women


In this installment, a celebration of female empowerment and creativity. I encountered a stand-up routine by pre-severed head Kathy Griffin, a groundbreaking episode in the “Fargo” series, and some sweet comedy gold from the hive of Samantha Bee. Plus, Ralph and I take in “Justice League” and some follow up on disc mishaps.

Ep. 12: Crowdsourcing, Apologies and 'Touching Evil'


In this installment, thank you, thank you, thank you to all my Facebook friends and friends of friends who nudged me in the right direction on my most challenging "Crowdsourcing" entry to date. A rather light project sampling brought little of significance into view this time, so I take the opportunity to make a deep dive into my classic collection. Finally, some apologies for errors I’ve discovered in the course of this podcast. Enjoy!

Ep. 11: Every Sitcom Ever Written


In this installment, I catch up with a few fall comedies, including the premiere of “9JKL” and the return of “Bob’s Burgers” and “Superstore.” I report on my efforts to create a homemade DVD set of “Legion,” and I make some decent progress on my current collection. Finally, I both in theory and in practice reject the “Wisdom of the Crowd.” Enjoy!
