Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 97th episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings. This set covers discs 1676 to 1700 in my Classic Collection. In my Fuzzy Feature, I talk about the 1946 Holmes and Watson mystery "Dressed to Kill," starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce. I chat about the Kyle Smith book they used as a basis for at least the title and the names of a few characters in the 2006 CBS Tom Cavanaugh vehicle "Love Monkey." I found it while attending a book chat author and fellow podcaster Kemper...

In "Ep. 97: Dressed to Kill," I share some thoughts about the 1946 Holmes and Watson adventure by that name, and keeping with the mystery theme, highlight the upcoming release of fellow podcaster Kemper Donovan's second installment in his ghostwriter mystery series, "Loose Lips." Also, comments on the "Doctor Who" Christmas special "Joy to the Worlds," which it certainly was. And surprise, we've moved! Greetings from sunny Utah!

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 96th episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings. While this set covers discs 1651 to 1675 in my Classic Collection, my Fuzzy Feature is again a bit of a departure, exploring my recent local theater production of Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" I talk about my role as George, my thoughts about taking a second run at this character, and my goal of getting a deeper exploration of him in this TruNorthTheatre.org production. I also added the classic 1966 Liz...

Hiya! My name is Terry J. Aman, host of VideoFuzzy, my blog and affiliated podcast sifting media, commentary and nostalgia. In "Ep. 96: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" I talk about our recent local production of that show and connections through my media collection. I chat about "Human Target," "Umbrella Academy," "Only Murders in the Building," "Agatha All Along," and "Joker, Folie a Deux." And holy cow, I'm in a farce production of Dakota Stage Ltd. "A Dickens' Christmas Carol" as Scrooge, coming up in December -- come check us out! [https://dakotastage.org] For all this and so much...

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...
info_outlineHi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 33rd episode of "VideoFuzzy," my twice-monthly progress report on cataloging more than 2,700 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Reporting Alternative Facts," my Friday Night Feature looks at tabloid journalism aboard the "Battlestar Galactica" and traces one or two reference points to stuff going on today.
In my classic VHS-to-DVD collection, I explored "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's take on the 2008 writers' strike in "Canada on Strike," pulling in some comments from "Commentary!" the musical backstory released as part of "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog." I also talk about some stuff that's been going on with my music library, which has taken some attention away from this project in recent weeks, as well as some news that led me to strip any potentially copyrighted images out of my Facebook page.
Heading into my current direct-to-DVD recordings, I talked about significantly stepped-up storylines in "Preacher" and "Better Call Saul" and the season finales of "Claws" and "Trial & Error." "The Sinner" got a bit dark, "We Bare Bears" closed out a lackluster season, I'm nearly down to the series finale on "Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency," I made some progress on my "Supernatural" season 13 backlog (I caught up to the "Scoobynatural" episode) and enjoyed the most wonderful cast parody spoof of "Ghostbusters" by Hillywood here.
I watched a few NERD SHOWS science updates in "How the Universe Works" and "Space's Deepest Secrets," exploring the Juno mission to Jupiter, the Cassini mission to Saturn, the history of the solar system, monster stars, quasars, black holes and the Big Bang. I also encountered a quite remarkable artist recently, Tim Blais, who crafts frankly brilliant science-themed music parodies and original pieces you can discover for yourself here, which are also available on iTunes.
And I had to ding "Late Show" host Stephen Colbert for throwing Omarosa's book "Unhinged" into the bargain bin -- the 30 percent off initial release is a marketing strategy, not any kind of reflection of sales, and he knows this. Upon its release, "Unhinged" topped the New York Times bestseller list. It's doing just fine.
Finally, Spotify has added VideoFuzzy! But weirdly enough, right now it is only searchable under my name, so you can search for that under Terry J. Aman. Enjoy!
