Get set for another Classic Ross Amico double-feature.
First, at 6:00 EDT, we traverse the open seas, with an hour of music from films featuring tall ships – including selections from “Captain Horatio Hornblower” (Robert Farnon), “Botany Bay” (Franz Waxman),” “ Mutiny on the Bounty” (Bronislau Kaper), and “Windjammer” (Morton Gould) – on “Picture Perfect,” on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
Then at 7:00 EDT, so much for wide-open spaces! The intractable frontier closes in on itself, real fast, in Michael Crichton’s “Westworld” (1973). Roy Bjellquist and I discuss this dystopian nightmare of an amusement park gone horribly wrong, which laid the groundwork for today’s HBO hit revival as well as Crichton’s “Jurassic Park.” The conversation will be live-streamed on Facebook at “Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner.”
