  • Summary

  • I'm a media packrat. My collection of VHS recordings began in the '80s and at one point filled five storage shelves in my home. Over the years, I've transferred these hundreds of tapes onto 2,500+ DVDs. This podcast tracks my progress in cataloging them, keeping an eye on my current viewing habits as well. Happy viewing!

  • Ep. 97: Dressed to Kill
    Jan 2 2025

    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 Donovan gave for his debut murder mystery "The Busy Body" in Grand Rapids, Michigan, last April, which gave me an excellent opportunity to highlight the upcoming release of the second installment in his ghostwriter series, "Loose Lips," available for pre-order at www.kensingtonbooks.com/9781496744548/loose-lips/ or any independent bookseller you prefer.

    In Cross Connections I highlight appearances by several actors in shows I cataloged in this set, including Ray Wise, John Larroquette, Michael Ian Black, Michael Imperioli, Kurt Fuller, Cory Montieth, Benito Martinez, Tyne Daly, Judd Nelson, Liam James and Alyssa Milano. I determined Diedrich Bader likely qualified as a Golden Thread in my collection.

    In my Classic Collection, I chat about "Who's the Boss?" references in "Community," I do a compare and contrast on "Human Target" and "Archer," with comments on "Desperate Housewives" and "Supernatural."

    In my Current Collection, I archived family memorial services into my home collection. I also archived "Agatha All Along," "Only Murders in the Building," and the Kamala Harris rally in Milwaukee.

    Archiving is on hold while we get ourselves set up in our new home in Utah. Even so, I watched the "Doctor Who" Christmas special on Disney Plus. Comments on that, as well as "Wicked" and "Sonic the Hedgehog 3."

  • Ep. 96: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
    Oct 29 2024

    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 Taylor/Richard Burton movie to my current collection, and encountered a couple of interesting references to the show in my cataloging efforts for this set, entries at https://www.instagram.com/videofuzzy

    In my Classic Collection, I celebrate breaking into my ninth binder of DVD transfers with a look back at highlights from Binder No. 8. I also explore a couple episodes of "Human Target" that turned up in this set.

    In my Current Collection, I chat about "Only Murders in the Building," "Agatha All Along" and the series finale of "The Umbrella Academy." Finally, in What I've Been Watching, I share my reaction to "The Joker: Folie a Deux." Spoiler alert: It is not positive.

    Currently I'm rehearsing Scrooge in a hilarious farce production "A Dickens' Christmas Carol" with Dakota Stage Ltd., coming up selected dates Dec. 5-15. Tickets and information at https://dakotastage.org/ -- come check us out!
