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.

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."

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 46th episode of "VideoFuzzy," my twice-monthly progress report on cataloging now more than 2,800 VHS transfers and digital recordings. In this installment, titled "Podcast by the NUMB3RS," I put a shoulder into a third season episode of "NUMB3RS" and talk about it for my Friday Night Feature.
In Cross Connections, I trace connections from "NUMB3RS," "Fear Itself," "Boston Legal," "Happy!" "Grizzly Bear Stakeout" and "Polar Bear Family and Me."
In the VHS-to-DVD transfers I talk about for my Classic Collection, I found episodes of "Commander in Chief," "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," "Monty Python's Flying Circus," an altogether ooky frame from an M&Ms commercial with the M&Ms dressed as The Addams Family, and music videos by The All American Rejects, The Killers, Lady Sovereign, Paris Hilton and Fergie.
In Crowdsourcing, I need some help with a "Shakespeare for Complete Idiots" sketch from MADtv featuring Josh Meyers. I'm looking for help identifying his co-star in that sketch in Crowdsourcing Exhibit F, with screencaps here.
In my direct-to-DVD Current Collection, I bring in episodes of "BoJack Horseman," "Will & Grace," "Miracle Workers," "Grey's Anatomy," "Fosse Verdon," "Happy!" "Supernatural," "Halt and Catch Fire" and "The Polar Bear Family and Me." The fourth season finale of "The Magicians" was absolutely fantastic, including "Houses" by Great Northern, that song here. I caught the series premiere of "A Discovery of Witches" and I caught a couple of movies: Taraji P. Henson in "Hidden Figures" and Peter Sellers in "Being There."
Shoutouts to David Dean Bottrell's "Working Actor" and Voices of Deconversion's second anniversary -- congratulations! I got a correction, and in Upcoming Shows I'm looking forward to seeing "Avengers: Endgame," a local production of "Noises Off!" and series resumes of "Luther" and "Pose." Happy viewing!
