Ep. 76: Building a Mystery

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 76th episode of "VideoFuzzy," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging nearly 3,000 VHS transfers and digital recordings. For this installment, titled "Building a Mystery," in my Friday Night Feature I talk about the first nine episodes of ABC 2009 murder mystery "Harper's Island." (WATCH video here) In Cross Connections, I highlight Christian Clemenson as a Golden Thread through my media collection.

Then, in response to a review by the "All About Agatha" podcasting team of Kemper Donovan and Catherine Brobeck, I post a VideoFuzzy Book Report on "At Bertram's Hotel" (WATCH video here) and kick off my Classic Collection (VHS-to-DVD) commentary with a deep cut commentary on my recording of "At Bertram's Hotel," archived to discs 199 and 200.

Moving into my more recent cataloging, I've gotten through disc 1,175. I talk about network productions like "Un-Broke," "Earth 2100" with Bob Woodruff and Brian Williams' tour of Obama's White House. Also, late night guest appearances by Pearl Jam, Green Day, Bill Cosby and Melody Gardot lead into comments on a couple Current Collection productions on Freddie Mercury and Queen. I found the NBC series premiere of "The Listener," second season finale of AMC's "Breaking Bad," and a beautiful voiceover from an episode of USA's "In Plain Sight" I wanted to share.

In my Current Collection (digital recordings), I enjoyed the first seasons of "Kevin Can F*** Himself," "Kung Fu" and "Rebel," as well as the second seasons of "A Discovery of Witches" and "Motherland: Fort Salem." I'm getting into "SurrealEstate," I have some thoughts on IFC's rebroadcast of "The Kids in the Hall," and more of a housekeeping item but from my blog entry I find that I've recorded two discs X405.

In VideoFuzzy at the Movies, comments on "Caprice" (1967), "You Might Be the Killer" (2018), "Mary Poppins Returns" (2018), "The Foreigner" (2017), "The Green Book" (2018), "The Detective" (1967), "The Fly" (1958) and "The Curse of the Fly" (1965), "The Brothers Grimsby" (2016) and "The Front Runner" (2018).

In what I've been watching, I opened with our visit to the Cornstock Theater in Peoria's summer production of "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) (Revised)" which was a lot of fun. I chat about Joel McHale's "Crime Scene Kitchen" and streaming episodes of "American Horror Stories" ahead of the tenth season of "American Horror Story: Double Feature" premiering this month.

Finally, LINKS to my fourth- and fifth-ever entries of "VideoFuzzy: The Video," talking about ABC's "Harper's Island" (here) and Agatha Christie's "At Bertram's Hotel." (here) Check it out!
