We lost all track of time last night, as we discussed “Somewhere in Time” (1980). I suppose it’s only appropriate, given the subject matter. Still, the show ran to three hours! Then we stopped the stream on the assumption that everyone had had enough, and we wound up talking for another hour, until 11:00 pm!
Thank you, Jo Addie, for sharing your recollections of working on the film. Jo is president of INSITE, the International Network of Somewhere In Time Enthusiasts. In that capacity, she has done great things for the film’s legacy – getting it restored and reissued on home video, getting it back into theaters for a limited run, producing documentaries, keeping up with the cast and crew, overseeing the newsletter, and hosting annual “Somewhere in Time” weekends on Mackinac Island.
You can learn all about it and her amazing journey, and marvel at how spontaneity and serendipity can literally change the course of one’s life, by listening to her story here:
Then definitely do check out the INSITE website, where you’ll find lots more great anecdotes and information:

Ironically, in three hours, there was very little time to actually discuss the content of the movie itself, so maybe we’ll have to go back in time and address it again at some point.
For the immediate future, Roy’s got another special guest lined up for tomorrow: actress and dancer Tanya Lemani. Fans of the original “Star Trek” television series will remember Lemani from the episode “Wolf in the Fold” (1967).
Wolf down your dinner and make the trek to the comments section for an out-of-this-world conversation. You’ll be howling for more, on the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner, when they livestream on Facebook, this Sunday evening at 7:00 EDT!
