Ep. 49: VideoFuzzy at the Movies
Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 49th episode of "VideoFuzzy," my twice-monthly progress report on cataloging more than 2,800 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "VideoFuzzy at the Movies," I breeze past my VHS-to-DVD Classic Collection transfers to my Friday Night Feature reactions to a 2007 Discovery Channel documentary called "In the Shadow of the Moon."
Then in What I've Been Watching, I dive into a discussion of several movies I've enjoyed recently, including the Elton John biopic "Rocketman" and video releases of "Hereditary," "Get Out" and "A Cure for Wellness."
In my direct-to-DVD Current Collection recordings, out of order viewing gave me a jarring introduction to the fifth season of "Luther," plus comments on the premieres of "Claws," "Pose" and "Archer," the finales of "Fosse/Verdon," "Happy!" "A Discovery of Witches," "Superstore" and "Brockmire," with thoughts on "Parks & Recreation," "Halt and Catch Fire," "Psych" and "A Flowershop Mystery: Mum's the Word." Then in my Nerd Shows, comments on Brian Greene's "Light Falls: Space, Time and an Obsession of Einstein."
In Upcoming Shows, I look forward to the third and final season premiere of "Legion" on FX and the PBS premiere of "Chasing the Moon."
I close with a shoutout and reflections observing my second anniversary of "VideoFuzzy," highlighting some of my favorite episodes in the series.
