Sure, it’s scatological, juvenile, and often just plain crass – I still don’t know how they managed to get Michael York to be in it – but “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” (1997) has its share of amusing ‘60s send-ups, affectionately poking fun at the era’s trends and tropes and music, with scattershot allusions to everything from James Bond to “Blow-Up” to “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.” It’s our topic for this week on Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. Join us in the comments section as we somersault into Season 4. The power of Austin compels us, when we livestream on Facebook, YouTube, etc., this Friday evening at 7:30 EDT!

While I’m at it, it occurs to me, I never posted the link to our Season 3 finale, in which we discuss the classic “Star Trek” episode “Spock’s Brain” while I enjoy a liquid dinner.
