Aman, marking my 94th episode of VideoFuzzy, reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings, and with this installment, titled "Into Every Generation," I celebrate seven years of doing so. Helping to mark the occasion, in my Fuzzy Feature I chatted with longtime friend and friend of the pod Marc Bailey, also known as Grailwolf, to talk about the 1992 release of Joss Whedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," the FX presentation of which turned up on disc 1604 in my classic collection. We talked about the movie, the TV series it gave rise to, the spinoff of "Angel" and the comic series, as well as other Whedon projects, and farther reaching ramifications of the production. In honor of this film turning up in my cataloging project, I have expanded the mystical center of my media collection to include Joss Whedon productions, in my newly renamed Joss Under Murph Studios Challenge, linking shows in my collection through "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," "Six Feet Under," Ryan Murphy productions and\/or Joss Whedon productions. A few connections become quite a bit clearer and just make more sense with the acknowledgement of this expansion, which suggests it was a de facto center all along. In Cross Connections I explore some of the impacts of this expansion, certainly through my Fond Reflection farewell to the movie Buffy's Watcher character Merrick, played by Donald Sutherland. I trace other connections through "Criminal Minds," "The Closer," "NUMB3RS" and a two-part "Alice in Wonderland"-themed Syfy miniseries starring Caterina Scorsone titled "Alice." In my Classic VHS-to-DVD Collection, for this set covering discs 1601 through 1625, I talked about a significant second-season episode of "Rescue Me," a documentary recounting 40 years of the Broadway production of "Hair," the pilot epiosde of "Criminal Minds," Syfy's miniseries "Alice," and a bunch of episodes from "Arrested Devleopment," "South Park," "The Simpsons" and "24," alongside a bunch of music videos as well as the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, hosted by ... oh. Sean "Puffy" Combs. In my Current direct-to-digital recordings, I talk about Pat Sajak stepping down form hosting duties on "Wheel of Fortune," podcaster Terry Geo's 2023 stage production of "Blink: A One-Man Gay Rom-Com," that link available here: https:\/\/bit.ly\/45DbBeV and a spoiler-y look back at the first season finale of "Doctor Who," which I include at the very end of the show in case you're still avoiding spoilers.
