Sinopsis
I'm a media packrat. My collection of VHS recordings began in the '80s and at once point filled five storage shelves in my home. Over the years, I've transferred these hundreds of tapes onto 2,500+ DVDs. What's on them? That's what we're here to find out. This podcast will track my progress in cataloging these DVDs as we discover together what the heck is on all of them, keeping an eye on my current viewing habits as well. Happy viewing!

Ep. 14: A Celebration of Women
30/11/2017 Duración: 23minIn this installment, a celebration of female empowerment and creativity. I encountered a stand-up routine by pre-severed head Kathy Griffin, a groundbreaking episode in the "Fargo" series, and some sweet comedy gold from the hive of Samantha Bee. Plus, Ralph and I take in "Justice League" and some follow up on disc mishaps.

Ep. 13: A Look at Three Movies
14/11/2017 Duración: 21minIn this installment, I am overjoyed to discover a serious find in my classic collection, as my Friday Night Feature takes me through the HBO presentation of "The Life and Death of Peter Sellers." I paired that with a deep dive into "The Great Ziegfeld" from my current collection, plus in what I’ve been watching, I finally got to see "Ninjago."

Ep. 12: Crowdsourcing, Apologies and 'Touching Evil'
31/10/2017 Duración: 18minIn this installment, thank you, thank you, thank you to all my Facebook friends and friends of friends who nudged me in the right direction on my most challenging "Crowdsourcing" entry to date. A rather light project sampling brought little of significance into view this time, so I take the opportunity to make a deep dive into my classic collection. Finally, some apologies for errors I've discovered in the course of this podcast. Enjoy!

I report on my efforts to create a homemade DVD set of "Legion," and I make some decent progress on my current collection. Finally, I both in theory and in practice reject the "Wisdom of the Crowd." Enjoy!

Ep. 10: A Deep Dive on a Minor Milestone
03/10/2017 Duración: 24minWelcome to this, my 10th installment of VideoFuzzy! I've decided that every tenth episode will include a show-so-far on my cataloging efforts, so for this one, I decided to pull in my entire pre-podcast classic collection – Discs 1 through 228 are now listed on my VideoFuzzy blog as Catalog Post #000. Also, while recent premieres took some attention away from my cataloging efforts, they fit in pretty well with my Friday Night Feature, an oddly relevant double episode of "My Name Is Earl."

Ep. 9: Troubleshooting, Backtracking and Fact-Checking
19/09/2017 Duración: 20minIn this installment, I correct a few errors I've discovered along the way in this cataloging effort, and revisit my methodology. I catch up with the Poirot installment I highlighted last time, and enjoyed the season opener for "American Horror Story: Cult."
-
Ep. 8: Experiments, Recoveries and Making it Work
04/09/2017 Duración: 15minIn this installment, I finally break into some fresh programming, and an experiment involving the series premiere of "The Shield" leads to a revelation, however short-lived. Recovery efforts are thankfully rewarded with an otherwise potentially lost episode of "Preacher," and the 16th season of "Project Runway" gets off to a great start.
-
Ep. 7: Envisioning a Podcast Less Ordinary
21/08/2017 Duración: 16minIn this installment, exploring "A Life Less Ordinary." Also, USA Networks turn in a strong psychological drama with "Sinner," and I revisit a bit of joyous legal nonsense in John Lithgow's "Trial & Error."

Ep. 6: Sonja and Tabitha take on damaged goods
07/08/2017 Duración: 17minIn this installment, talking shop with Sonja and Tabitha while sifting through the 2007 fall premieres in my classic collection, including a little gem called "Reaper." I'm up to season six in "Supernatural" and the premiere of "Feud: Bette and Joan" in my current collection, and oh wow, the things I've been watching. Welcome to the show.

Ep. 5: Loose Ends in Retrospect
24/07/2017 Duración: 24minIn this installment, apologies to USA Network's "The Dead Zone" and especially "The 4400," which I may have slighted in a recent comment. I'll talk about inspiration from classic hit Elvis Presley songs, finally watching the movies that turn up in my classic collection and some of what I'm looking forward to, and in what I've been watching, "Preacher" seems like a good bet.

Happy Fourth of July everyone!
