Ep. 77: A Mighty Wind


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 77th episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging nearly 3,000 VHS transfers and digital recordings.

For this installment, titled "A Mighty Wind," in my Friday Night Feature I talk about Christopher Guest's folk music-centered semi-scripted comedy "A Mighty Wind." I wanted to share a couple links to songs from that production: The New Main Street Singers' "Potato's in the Paddy Wagon," and Mitch & Mickey's "Kiss at the End of the Rainbow." In Cross Connections, I highlight Michael McKean as a Golden Thread through my media collection, with Fond Reflections on David L. Lander, Markie Post, Ed Asner and Norm MacDonald.

In my Classic Collection (VHS-to-DVD transfers), I've cataloged through disc 1,200, and saved a searchable copy to an old e-reader. Using this index, I tracked down all 10 episodes I've archived of "The Unusuals," mining for the comedy gold represented by Marisa Vural's Dispatcher character, sharing some of her best intercom announcements.

Also, encountered some amazing music while cataloging this one, including: Civil Twilight's "Letters from the Sky," Kat Power's "Metal Heart," and Daler Mehndi's "Tanuk Tanuk Tun," with comments on "The Unusuals," "The Simpsons," a pre-#metoo Chuck Lorre title card from a "The Big Bang Theory," former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee's appearance on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" discussing abortion, and an extrapolation of data presented in an ABC Obama White House town hall ahead of the Affordable Care Act on life expectancy and world population growth. Oh, and comments on Russell T. Davies' "The Next Doctor" and implications for more recent storyline developments ahead of his returning as showrunner for the show's 60th anniversary.

In my Current Collection (digital recordings), comments on "SurrealEstate," 1980s movies "Kidco" and "9 to 5," 1960s schlocky Pat Boone spookfest "The Horror of It All" and Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly in 2018's "Holmes and Watson." Also, "American Horror Stories" and "American Horror Story: Double Feature."

Finally, my sixth-ever entry of "VideoFuzzy: The Video," talking about "A Mighty Wind" at https://youtu.be/m5VTpJJHuws - check it out!
