Remember: in the summer, it’s important to stay “hydrated.”

On the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner, we’re enlisting a crew of hirsute, out-of-shape fighting men (including a 39 year-old Hercules, who looks, at best, to be in his late 50s) for a journey to the far-side of the world in our quest for the Golden Fleece and a discussion of “Jason and the Argonauts” (1963).

Everything that you loved about this movie as a kid still holds up: the vindictive, fruit-loving harpies, an oversized bronze automaton in serious need of WD-40, destruction by crumbling cliff-faces narrowly averted by tuna-tailed Triton, and sinister skeleton warriors sprung nonsensically from hydra’s teeth. Also, Nancy Kovack (a.k.a. Mrs. Zubin Mehta) and Honor Blackman!

Roy and I will do our best to emulate the perfect alchemy of Ray Harryhausen and Bernard Herrmann this week, when we talk about “Jason and the Argonauts.” Are we stop-motion animation, or is it just Roy’s internet connection? Pour yourself a tall glass of water and join the conversation in the comments section. We livestream on Facebook, this Friday evening at 7:30 EDT!
