All attempts to view “Voyage of the Bottom of the Sea” (the 1961 movie, not the TV series) have floundered. Currently, it doesn’t seem to be streaming anywhere. A search on Hulu reveals that it will be showing on FXM on Monday, July 26, at 11:25 a.m. So set your recorders! Due to the film’s unexpected scarcity, Roy and I will be postponing our discussion about it until Friday, August 6.

In the meantime, since it’s already fairly late in the week, we decided we had better choose a topic about which just about everyone has a passing familiarity – James Bond. To act as a kind of bridge from our last film, Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws,” to the upcoming chat about “Voyage,” we’ve selected “The Spy Who Loved Me” (1977), in which Richard Kiel plays one of the most memorable “Bond” henchmen – also named Jaws – and in which, in common with “Voyage,” submarines play a major role.

For those of us of a certain age, this aired in heavy rotation on television – in common with all the Bond films – as part of the “ABC Sunday Night Movie” (whenever they weren’t showing Clint Eastwood’s “The Gauntlet”). So even if you haven’t seen it recently, I’m fairly confident you’ll still get a charge out of our depth and be able to sink your teeth into the comments section.

It’s a nostalgic trip to the unflappable Roger Moore era, with plenty of quips, camp, and Carly Simon, on the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. Nobody does it better, as we livestream on Facebook, this Friday evening at 7:00 EDT.
