Ep. 68: Pretty Good Year


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 68th episode of "VideoFuzzy," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 2,900 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Pretty Good Year," I took some time to do some home improvements, cleanup and reorganization around here and the impact this had on my cataloging efforts, along with a few observations on our social and political landscape.

For my Friday Night Feature, I explore a very special fifth-season episode of "Desperate Housewives," celebrating their 100th episode, built around the impact of a good man on his neighbors and his neighborhood. It featured Beau Bridges as handyman Eli Scruggs. In Cross Connections, I trace him as a Golden Thread in my collection. Also, fond reflections on Regis Philbin and Chadwick Boseman.

In What I've Been Watching, I took in the North Dakota Shakespeare Festival's Shakespeare in the Parking Lot production of "Hamlet" -- a drive-in production in a parking lot with four people.

In my Classic VHS-to-DVD Collection, I talk about slow-walking my cataloging of "The West Wing," as well as episodes from the seventh season of "24," "Monk," President George W. Bush's farewell speech, and "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" send-off for him, and President Barack Obama's inauguration.

In my Current, direct-to-DVD Collection, comments on "The Alienist: Angel of Darkness," homeburns of the third season of "Legion" and "The Book of Eli," "Assassin's Creed," "The Shape of Water," "Inglourious Basterds," "The Family Fang," "Juno," "Game Night," "Wakefield," "The Commuter," "The Accountant," "Downsizing," "The Town," "The Circle," "Kagemusha," "The Fury," "The Phantom of the Paradise," "Across the Universe," "Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping" with Adam Samberg and Sarah Silverman, "What We Do in the Shadows," "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," "Solo: A Star Wars Story," "Ant-Man and The Wasp," "X2: X-Men United," "Keep Watching," "Toast of London" and "The November Man," which needed a lot more razzing than I was ultimately able to give it here.

Finally, in my Off The Shelf segment, I pulled up my VHS copy of "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie" and commercial disc sets of "Arrested Development: Season Four," "Fargo: Season Two," "The Crazy Ones," and this fantastic DVD I found called "Dave Made a Maze" -- track it down, you won't be sorry.

Ep. 67: Let's Talk About This


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 67th episode of "VideoFuzzy," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 2,900 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Let's Talk About This," I explore a fourth-season episode of "Criminal Minds" where a serial killer is targeting police officers in Phoenix, Arizona, and thematic implications for our current media and social environment, including authoritarian behavior and police brutality.

I trace connections through shows I encounter in this set, including Scott Lowell and Michael O'Neill's appearances in "Leverage," Mary Gross, James Denton and John Larroquette, and then trace a Golden Thread tracking Adam Arkin's appearances in my collection.

In my Classic VHS-to-DVD Collection, I talk about "The Simpsons," "Skins," "South Park," "Psych," "Damages" and highlight what struck me as misdelivered lines in "Take This Sabbath Day," a significant first season episode of "The West Wing." Also, revisiting some Old Business regarding Olive Snook singing "Eternal Flame" in a second season episode of "Pushing Daisies," and in Nerd Shows, I talk about the third season episode of "The Universe" titled "Sex in Space."

In my Current, direct-to-DVD Collection, it's a segment-length Lightning Round with comments on "I Am Legend," "Heaven is for Real," "Harley Quinn," "The Alienist: Angel of Darkness," "Cake," "Castle," a 2017 documentary called "Prince: When Doves Cry," "The Lodger" (1944), "The Boston Strangler," "The Twilight Zone," "Disturbia," "Fantastic Four" (2015), "Braven," "Before I Go to Sleep" and oh wow, Stephen King's "Dark Tower" was amazing.

Ep. 66: Providing Leverage


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 66th episode of "VideoFuzzy," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging nearly 2,900 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Providing Leverage," I was joined by Marc Bailey of the "Grailwolf's Geek Life" podcast via Facebook Rooms in celebrating the three-year anniversary of this podcast with a where-have-they-been conversation about Jossverse actors.

First, however, I feature the pilot episode of "Leverage," titled "The Nigerian Job." In Cross Connections, I track Timothy Hutton, Mark Valley, Lily Tomlin, and track Michael O'Neill as a Golden Thread running throughout my media collection.

In my Classic VHS-to-DVD Collection, I talk about encountering the series finale of "Boston Legal," along with episodes of "The West Wing," "Eli Stone," "Fringe," a scrap of grid search and election night 2008 featuring John McCain's concession speech and President-Elect Barack Obama's Grant Park address.

In my Direct-to-DVD Collection, I touch briefly on a second season episode from "Supernatural" featuring La Monde Byrd as blues musician Robert Johnson and introducing a crossroads demon, early proof-of-concept for Mark A. Sheppard's long-running Crowley character.

I then transition to a wide-ranging conversation with Marc Bailey discussing Jossverse actors in such shows as "Angel," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Firefly," "Serenity," "Dollhouse," "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," "Seal Team," "Harley Quinn," "Powerless," "Miracles," "Point Pleasant," "Wonderfalls," "Dietland," "Castle," "Pearson," "The Crazy Ones," "Chance," "Tru Calling" and Joss Whedon's "Much Ado About Nothing," with comments touching on "Star Wars," Kenneth Branagh's "Murder on the Orient Express," remastering issues and spoiler etiquette.
