Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 110th episode of VideoFuzzy titled "Sweet Spot," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings in a personal media collection stretching back decades. [1:42] This time I'm reviewing the third installment in author and fellow podcaster Kemper Donovan's ghostwriter mystery series "Sweet Spot," [IG] written as an impossible crime and set in my new home state of Utah. [10:35] I'm then joined by Kemper Donovan himself https://kemperdonovan.com/ for a fun chat about the book, his ongoing tour and I count down the top ten authors I've been introduced to by his podcast "All About Agatha." https://bit.ly/3RO4Owr  [57:43] Since this episode is fairly book centric, I go on to comment on Jane Austen's works "Sense and Sensibility," "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma," Agatha Christie's short story "The Edge," Felicia Day's "Third Eye" and J. W. Zimmerman's "Blind in Love." [1:09:16] My Fuzzy Feature identifies "Psych" [IG] as the fifth mystical center of my media catalog on the strength of Cary Elwes-fueled fifth-season entry "Extradition 2: The Actual Extradition Part," in which Shawn and Juliet become Shuliet. And 110 episodes in I step back and discuss the relative significance of mystical centrality. [1:20:29] In Cross Connections, I trace connections for Cary Elwes, Jean Smart, Debra Jo Rupp, Jennifer Finnegan, Hurt Fuller, Ana Gasteyer, Timothy Dalton, Linda Hamilton, Missi Pyle, David Dean Bottrell, Eliza Dushku, Robert Knepper, Ernie Hudson, Carl Lumbly, Mandy Moore, Ryan Devlin, John Lacy, Amber Benson, Ethan Phillips, Ray Wise, Danny Trejo, Ethan Suplee, Silas Weir Mitchell, Wayne Knight, Michael Westen, Jere Burns, Ed Begley Jr., Michael Westen, Hal Holbrook, Monique Gabriela Curnen, Stephen King [IG], Wil Wheaton, Rob Riggle, Summer Glau, Gwyneth Paltrow, Darren Criss, John Mahoney, Tim Bagley and Sam Pancake [IG], identifying Jean Smart and Sam Pancake as new Golden Threads through my media collection.  [1:38:55] In my Classic Collection [VHS-to-DVD transfers], I cataloged discs 2026 through 2050. Comments on "Criminal Minds," "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and bluray DVD extras, "The Walking Dead," "Sons of Anarchy," "Grey's Anatomy," 2010 election highlights, "Castle" [IG] and "Raising Hope." [1:53:16] In my Current Collection [direct to digital], comments on "Sunset Boulevard" [IG], "The Postman Always Rings Twice," "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" final episode, "The Triplets of Bellville" and "Queens of Mystery." [1:59:55] Also, my By the Numbers segment explores the show so far with my cataloging efforts. SPREADING THE WORD!

Len Testa and Jim Hill sprint through a packed week of Disney and Universal news, from Rock 'n' Roller Coaster's Muppets makeover to the return of Walt Disney World's deluxe dining plan. Along the way, they dig into Universal's new day-of Express offering, answer listener questions about everything from BioReconstruct to Main Street nostalgia, and somehow still find room for pistachio-based trauma. In the main segment, Jim continues the fascinating story of Disney's ambitious "Live the Dream" concept for Disneyland's second gate, including the idea of building hotels directly on top of attractions. NEWS • Disney has officially brought back the deluxe dining plan for 2027, adding a higher-end option as the company looks for new ways to fill table-service restaurants. • Rock 'n' Roller Coaster reopens on May 26, 2026, with the Electric Mayhem taking over the ride and a set list that mixes classic rock with a few curveballs. • Celebrity cameos for the reimagined coaster include Awkwafina, John Stamos, Neil Patrick Harris, Wayne Brady, Travis Barker, Yvette Nicole Brown, Danny Trejo, Darren Criss, and Weird Al Yankovic. • A rumor out of Adventureland suggests that completing A Pirate's Adventure may once again unlock a Lightning Lane for Pirates of the Caribbean. • Universal Orlando has launched Universal Express Now, a smartphone-based, day-of skip-the-line option that sounds a bit like Lightning Lane's less patient cousin. FEATURE • Jim continues the history of Disneyland's "Live the Dream" project, a bold expansion concept tied to the resort's long-discussed second park. • This chapter explores Disney's growing realization that hotels were a license to print money, especially after the company began operating its own resorts. • The episode also connects that thinking to Anaheim's old "Disney cone" zoning rules, which helped protect Disneyland's sightlines from looming high-rises. • Most intriguingly, Jim tees up the wildest part of the story: a version of Disneyland's future where hotels would have been built directly above attractions.

This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Kellin Hanas Trumpet Interview" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here It all started with a dream, at four years old: an actual dream, that sticks in her memory to this day.   Kellin Hanas is known for her social media presence, her combination of comedy and trumpet, and her recognition as a bright young star on the jazz trumpet circuit.   She joins us today to share her back story of having that first light bulb moment in a vivid dream, to then picking up the trumpet at seven years old and forcing the adults in the room to let her play it, and on through her years in elementary and high school, sharing the profound yet tragic story of her teacher and mentor. Someone who remains a tremendous influence.   Starting college at the Manhattan School of Music during the peak of COVID, Kellin navigated the bizarre and unprecedented challenges of those years with perseverance and grace, leading to professional contacts and opportunities right out of the gate.   But you probably recognize her most from her social media, which has gone viral to the tune of over 100,00 followers on Instagram and TikTok, thanks to her unique combination of professional jazz trumpet and stand-up comedy.   Learn all about the stories and inspirations that make up Kellin Hanas in this inspiring conversation!   About Kellin Hanas: Hailed in the International Trumpet Guild Journal as "one of the best up and coming jazz musicians on the globe", 24 year old Kellin Hanas is a trumpeter, composer, educator and comedian based out of New York City and Chicago. A recent graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, she has studied under legendary trumpeters such as Ingrid Jensen and Scott Wendholt.

Kellin is also thrilled to be holding the trumpet chair for Heathers The Musical in NYC at New World Stages, and occasionally you can see her at Broadway's Just In Time as well. She is the recipient of the 2024 Laurie Frink Career Grant, and was also the 1st place winner of the 2024 ITG Ryan Anthony Memorial Jazz Improvisation Competition. Since 2022, Hanas has been the leader of her own band, the Kellin Hanas Quintet, which debuted in the upstairs of the iconic Birdland Jazz Club. Since then, she has taken her band to many venues and festivals, as well as colleges and universities around the US. An accomplished composer and arranger, her music has been performed across the country.

The trio dives headfirst into the 2026 Grammys Runway Rundown— delivering their signature takes on the good, the bad, the ugly, and the unforgettable “fire the stylist!” moments. The show kicks off with their classic intro before reminding listeners they can book an Armenian Coffee Reading at PolAtteu.com — virtually or live in West Hollywood — and grab a SnowWhite90210 SnowBubu (the ultimate glam accessory for your Birkin, backpack or shelf). Then it's straight to fashion fireworks. Chappell Roan stuns in a bordeaux cape moment that transforms from understated elegance to bold art reveal — complete with nipple rings. Pol praises the risk; Patrik debates the appropriateness. Art vs. shock value sets the tone for the episode. Chaka Khan in Christian Siriano sparks heated discussion: corsetry, coke feathers, mesh boots and gold nails. Glam icon? Yes. Modern? Debatable. The proportions and dated structure divide the room.  Benson Boone (Armani) brings black-on-black layering lessons, prompting a masterclass on dye lots and fabric depth. Meanwhile, Angelique Kidjo in Louis Vuitton velvet is declared powerful, polished, and perfectly proportioned — head wrap, double-breasted suit and all. Adrienne Bailon Houghton's crystal architectural gown reads vintage flapper fantasy, while Addison Rae's Alaïa white tiered plunge feels more Met Gala than Grammys. Sticky tape fashion tips ensue. Jennifer Hudson earns rave reviews for her ruched leather Killian Koerner gown with dramatic shoulder and cascading slit — Grammy edge done right. Jewelry layering advice follows. Justin & Hailey Bieber deliver coordinated black Balenciaga/Alaïa cool. Sexy, confident, curated sloppy. Justin's stripped-down performance ignites debate: raw genius or missed theatrical moment? Karol G's pistachio lace Paolo Sebastian gown divides over tassels vs. sultry silhouette. Yungblud in Chrome Hearts revives rock energy with leather, chains and a cross pendant. Sombr's iridescent Valentino suit with “Happy Rose” lace is called one of the night's best — shimmering, daring and Grammy-perfect. Pol even volunteers to recreate it.  Sabrina Carpenter (Valentino couture) looks beautiful but “Emmys, not Grammys." Rosé in Giambattista Valli feels elegant yet lacking edge. Paris Hilton channels Material Girl in bugle-beaded Nicholas Jebran with opera gloves and diamonds. Accessory masterclass unlocked.  Miley Cyrus (Celine) gets labeled “rock mom office-core,” while Lady Gaga's feathered Matières Fécales creation is praised as theatrical Grammy fantasy — thousands of feathers, Maleficent collar, full commitment.  Kesha's white feather Atelier Versace is deemed poorly constructed and overwhelming, while Doechii in Cavalli purple confection feels Moulin Rouge meets prom curtain. Darren Criss (Tanner Fletcher brocade) impresses but needs a brooch moment.

Dropped October 1, 2025, this explosive two-minute showcase heralds the eight-episode sophomore run premiering October 29 with a double-drop, followed by weekly pairs through November 19. Creator Vivienne Medrano ramps up the chaos post-Season 1's angelic showdown: Charlie Morningstar (Erika Henningsen) rebuilds her Hazbin Hotel amid thriving sinner ranks, but overlord Vox (Christian Borle) schemes a media-fueled uprising against Heaven, rallying The Vees—Velvette (Lilli Cooper) and Valentino (Joel Perez)—to sabotage her demon rehab dream.Analytic Dreamz dissects the trailer's hellish highlights: Alastor's (Alex Brightman) shadowy manipulations from his Season 1 "death," Vaggie's (Stephanie Beatriz) fierce loyalty clashing with Lute's (Jessica Vosk) vengeful Exorcist return, and Angel Dust's (Blake Roman) raw vulnerability in Husk's (Keith David) reluctant rescues. Musical mayhem steals the spotlight with the debut single "Hazbin Guarantee (Trust Us)," a satirical banger teasing Broadway-caliber numbers from the full soundtrack—pre-order now via Atlantic Records—blending dark humor, explosive combat, and emotional fractures like Lucifer's (Jeremy Jordan) paternal strains and Sir Pentious' heavenly enigma. New voices amplify the ensemble: Patrick Stump as Abel, Darren Criss, and Shoba Narayan, expanding the Hellaverse ties to Helluva Boss.Does this trailer promise amplified stakes—Vox's power grab igniting Hell-Heaven war, deeper lore on Overlords and Exterminations—or risk diluting Charlie's optimistic core amid gore and gags?

When a white actor was recently announced to replace Darren Criss in Maybe Happy Ending, it sparked a fresh wave of debate over racial casting on Broadway. For Asian Americans like playwright David Henry Hwang and actor B.D. Wong, it felt like déjà vu, echoing a controversy they had spoken out against more than 30 years ago with Miss Saigon. That blockbuster musical became the center of a storm back in 1990 when Jonathan Pryce was chosen to reprise his Eurasian character from the London production when it transferred to Broadway. This decision ignited protests, ultimatums, and the first major reckoning with yellowface in American theater. In this episode, we look back at Miss Saigon, the clash between producer Cameron Mackintosh and Actors' Equity, and how that moment set the stage for Hwang's satirical play Face Value—and continues to reverberate today. --- Click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for a transcript and list of all resources used.

Darren Criss is an Emmy-winning actor, but deep down he's a musical theater nerd. Which is why he's so proud to be part of this year's Tony-nominated musical Maybe Happy Ending. "Everybody involved in [Broadway], we all work within a 10-some-odd block radius, and it is really like a campus celebration." For Criss, who plays Oliver, a robot in futuristic Seoul in love with another robot, Claire (played by Helen J. Shen), it's "nothing short of a miracle." "You kind of hope for this your whole life." After picking up 10 Tony nominations, including Criss' for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Musical, it's clear countless others did too. "I hope it runs for many moons in other countries and in other dimensions." Part of what makes the show unique is its path to Broadway. "Every step along the way, it has been an exponential groundswell of positive response, because everything is just earnest ideas believed in by earnest people." And it's been a benchmark for diversity and Asian stories on Broadway. "I always like to say that the victory is in the conversation."
