Roy’s Sci-Fi Corner Silent Running & This Island Earth

by 

While it is true that Roy’s power went out yesterday, I think he was glad for an excuse to grab a drive-through coffee while leeching off the free wi-fi.

Watch Roy confound the suits on last night’s “Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner,” as he hits the road and easy-rides his Electric Kool-Aid Acid Bus – not entirely inappropriate to our discussion of “Silent Running” (1972), the we’re-all-screwed-but-there’s-still-hope-for-the-future-I-guess sci-fi cult classic, with crazy Bruce Dern going crazy. (Yes, you read that correctly.)

Speaking of crazy, in the wake of yesterday’s stunt broadcast, Roy will be rocketing off to Rhode Island to visit with Lew Place, who will be his cohost for a very special, on-location Sci-Fi stop-by, this Sunday evening at 7:00 EDT.

We’ll reconvene next Friday for a discussion of “This Island Earth” (1955). In the meantime, I’ll be assembling my interocitor!

Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner livestreams on Facebook. Look in on Lew’s Place on Sunday; then sidle up to “This Island Earth” on Friday. Both broadcasts begin at 7:00 pm EDT!
