Ep. 73: Six Seasons and a Movie


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 73rd episode of "VideoFuzzy," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 2,900 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Six Seasons and a Movie," commentary on the most of six seasons of "Community" as rebroadcast on IFC that I've archived and cataloged in my current collection.

In my Cross Connections, I highlight Patricia Belcher as a Golden Thread, and Christopher Plummer in Fond Reflections. I add a Crossover segment that highlights actor Kevin Corrigan's appearance in both my classic and current collections, and a noteworthy career arc twist. Also, some followup comments on the second season finale of "Damages."

In my Classic Collection (VHS-to-DVD), I have cataloged through disc 1,100. I talk about the PBS pledge drive presentation of "Celtic Thunder," a video for Max Tundra's "Will Get Fooled Again," comments on "The Unusuals," "Harper's Island," "Breaking Bad" and "South Park," along with the series finale of ABC's "Life on Mars." I found I recorded a public address from my cable provider in 2009 regarding their negotiations with a local network affiliate to rebroadcast their signal. Also, shoutout to the "All About Agatha" podcast and their recent comments on "The Adventure of the Clapham Cook."

In my Current Collection (digital recordings), along with 103 of 110 episodes of "Community," I archived the presentation by the House managers in the second impeachment Senate trial of former President Trump. I felt it was a well organized presentation of the evidence and it was cool to have it in my collection. Also, comments on AMC's presentation of "The Salisbury Poisonings."

In streaming, from Hulu, I've been enjoying "Mrs. America," "The Handmaid's Tale," and seasons 4 and 5 of "Damages." And under Off the Shelf, I got together with my friend Jesse Zimmerman of The Average Movie Nerd recently and we enjoyed "The Informant!" "Wag the Dog" and "Burn After Reading." Fun times.

TOP TEN: Here's a "top ten" episode guide for people looking for a quick read-in on this blog and podcast effort. Enjoy!

Ep. 72: Insolent Prelate


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 72nd episode of "VideoFuzzy," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 2,900 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Insolent Prelate," commentary on the first few episodes of "Castle" -- taken together with current events -- sparks a deeper dive into the 1964 epic film "Becket." In my Cross Connections, I highlight Betty White as a Golden Thread, and Cloris Leachman in Fond Reflections.

In my Classic Collection (VHS-to-DVD), I talk about "Breaking Bad," "Battlestar Galactica," "Kings," "Cupid" and "Better Off Ted," with additional comments on "South Park," "The Simpsons" and the second season finale of "Damages." I also recently uncovered copies of my TV columns from the Minot Daily News, and noted that with this set, I'm cataloging the set of VHS transfers I was recording when I started my "TV is the New Reading" podcast. Fun!

In my Current Collection (digital recordings), I talk about the 1/6 attacks on the U.S. Capitol and contrast that with the Inauguration ceremony a couple of weeks later, highlighting the music, the fashion and youth poet laureate Amanda Gorman, quoting from her work, "The Hill We Climb." Also, comments on "Community" and "Superstore," and streaming "Cougar Town" and "Mrs. America" on hulu. Finally, I encountered a not especially enlivening panel discussion on C-SPAN from last fall of Shakespeare's work and its influence on American history. Pass.

TOP TEN: Here's a "top ten" episode guide for people looking for a quick read-in on this blog and podcast effort. Enjoy!

Ep. 71: Lady in Red


Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 71st episode of "VideoFuzzy," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 2,900 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Lady in Red," I pulled up the pilot episode of "Ashes to Ashes" for my Friday Night Feature, checking Cross Connections with Philip Glenister, Keely Hawes, John Goodman, David Spade, Denis Leary, Josh Gad and Golden Thread Fay Masterson.

In my Classic Collection (VHS-to-DVD), I talk about "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart's 2009 knockdown drag-out "Brawl Street" interview with "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer over media contributions to the 2008 recession. Quite informative. Also, President Obama's 2009 address to the joint session of Congress, "The West Wing," the Pip-centered "Great Expectations" episode of "South Park" and the PBS special "100 Years of Victor Borge."

In my Current Collection (direct to DVD), I'm very much enjoying my Hulu subscription ["Cougar Town," "Devs," "Letterkenny" and "Archer"] and from a promotional HBO and Cinemax access, I was able to add the first season of "Lovecraft Country." Also, comments on the fourth season finale of "Fargo," the "Doctor Who" New Year's special "The Dalek Revolution" and from DC's "Birds of Prey and The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn," Harley Quinn lists the many, many reasons Roman Sionis might be targeting her for revenge.

In Videofuzzy at the Movies, along with earlier comments on "Tangled," "The Emperor's New Groove," "Vice," "Parasite," "Stuber" and "Us," I chat about "Ready or Not," "Bad Times at the El Royale," "Bowfinger," "Isn't It Romantic," "Much Ado About Nothing," "Office Christmas Party," "We Bare Bears: The Movie," "Lying and Stealing," "Jojo Rabbit," "The Lovely Bones," "The Girl in the Spider Web."

In Watching Terrible Movies, Jesse Zimmerman of The Average Movie Nerd blog get together to watch and chat about "The Men Who Stare at Goats," "The Lost Skeleton Returns Again," "I, Tonya" and "Dark and Stormy Night."

Finally, in a post-credit "Video Outreach," I close with a poem I wrote and posted Jan. 1, 2021 called "Listen."

TOP TEN: I've added a "top ten" episode guide for people looking for a quick read-in on this blog and podcast effort. Enjoy!
