104 weeks of Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.
Last night, Roy and I celebrated two years of delving into a shared nostalgia for science-fiction film and television of the 1950s, ‘60s, and ‘70s, with a conversation about “Dr. No” (1962), the first of the James Bond films – not coincidentally marking its 60th anniversary this year.
Technically, I didn’t join the show until June 2020 (more to celebrate in June), but the series was initiated by Roy in April, with Phil Merkel the first guest, as a means of bringing everyone together during the doldrums of pandemic isolation.
We’ve had plenty of laughs along the way. Thank you to all of you in our loyal audience, who show up week after week to share your wisecracks and insights. It’s always a great way to launch a weekend. Most amazingly, Roy and I had not seen one another for a good 35 years, prior to our Zoom reunion.
You can watch two April fools blather about Bond at the link. We’ll do it again next week, once we decide on our next topic. Mix yourself a Vesper Martini (shaken, not stirred) and join us for the Facebook livestream, next Friday evening at 7:00 EDT.
