Ep. 95: Dead for a Ducat
VideoFuzzy
Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 95th episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings. While this set covers discs 1626 to 1650 in my Classic Collection, my Fuzzy Feature highlights a bit of a deep dive for this effort. From discs 1474 and 1480, I talk about "Hamlet 2" starring Steve Coogan and Catherine Keener. Our regional Capitol Shakespeare troupe presented "Hamlet" this summer, and I include comments from Derek Pich and Schatzy Eichmann, the actors who portrayed Hamlet and Ophelia. The theatrical theme traces...

Hiya! I'm Terry J. Aman, host of VideoFuzzy, home for media, commentary and nostalgia. In this singularly theatrically focused installment Ep. 95: Dead for a Ducat, I leverage comments on a deep dive from my classic collection, "Hamlet 2," as a springboard to chat about other "Hamlets" I've encountered, including Bismarck's Capitol Shakespeare, Great Perfomances on PBS "Hamlet" from 2023, and insights from local actors who took on the roles of Hamlet and Ophelia so powerfully this summer, Derek Pich and Schatzy Eichmann. I'm also taking the stage myself as George in a local production of...

Ep. 92: Reunion
VideoFuzzy
Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman marking my 92nd episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging more than 3,000 VHS transfers and digital recordings. My Fuzzy Feature for this installment, titled "Reunion," I talk about the first four entries I found in that 2005 FOX series. I also share Book Reports on new releases "The Fury" by Alex Michaelides and "The Busy Body," the long-anticipated debut murder mystery by "All About Agatha" podcast host Kemper Donovan. Both are fun reads in very different ways and both come highly recommended. Kemper's podcast "All About Agatha" can be...

PROMO: Ep. 92: Reunion
VideoFuzzy
Hi, I'm Terry J. Aman, host of "VideoFuzzy," my blog and affiliated podcast slowly making my way through my media collection and sharing it with all of you. Changing things up a bit for episode 92, I wanted to step back and celebrate a fellow podcaster, from "All About Agatha," host Kemper Donovan's debut murder mystery "The Busy Body." A longtime student of the form, it's easy to tell the close read he's taken with the works of queen of crime Agatha Christie, combining what inspiration he's found there with modern twists like selfies, influencers and Kickstarter campaigns for a truly uncanny...

info_outlineHi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 35th episode of "VideoFuzzy," my twice-monthly progress report on cataloging more than 2,700 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "And The Award Goes to ... Huh?" I depart from my usual format to discuss the Emmys and my complete lack of interest, mainly due to the fact that I can't even see a lot of these shows without some kind of premium cable or subscription service.
In my classic VHS-to-DVD collection, I talk about an episode of Aaron Sorkin's "The West Wing" that showed up around the same time as part of his "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip." I rip on "Criminal Minds" and "NUMB3RS," and chat about such other shows as "Boston Legal" and "Dexter," which anchors a segue into comments on my current direct-to-DVD recordings of "Supernatural" and then "American Horror Story: Apocalypse."
In what I've been watching I finished season 2 of "The Good Place" in anticipation of the Season 3 premiere this past week, and highlight a viewscreen from the season 1 finale listing the largest contributions to Eleanor Shellstrop's negative rating.
Also, I list corrections going back to March, and determine that I'm just going to correct errors as I encounter them. Finally, one of the podcasts I listen to, "In Our Time: Science," hosted by Melvyn Bragg through BBC Radio 4, has resumed releasing episodes and you can access them here. Enjoy!
