Start your weekend with an irascible, grey-bearded necromancer and a half-mad seeker of arcane knowledge.

That’s right, it’s me. I’ll also be talking about Gandalf the Grey and Dr. Hans Reinhardt, Disney’s Captain Nemo in space.

Join me for a Friday double-header:

At 6:00 EDT, it’s “Picture Perfect,” music for the movies, featuring superior scores from films about wizards and sorcerers – including “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” (Howard Shore), “The Sword and the Sorcerer” (David Whitaker), “Dragonslayer” (Alex North), and “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” (John Williams) – on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.

Then at 7:00 EDT, I’ll be donning Reinhardt scarlet, as Roy Bjellquist and I delve into “The Black Hole” (1979), on the Facebook live-stream series “Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner.” You’ll find more information on that, when you follow the link.

It’s a journey that begins where everything ends. Except minutiae.

Open up a cold one, and tag along.
