How did John Barry, longtime composer for James Bond and already the recipient of three Academy Awards (two for “Born Free” and one for “The Lion in Winter”), come to write the music for “Starcrash?”
That’s among the topics that Roy Bjellquist and I will address this evening, as we dissect every aspect of this opportunistic B-movie, hastily assembled in Italy to surf the coattails of “Star Wars.”
I’ll be guest co-host on “Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner.” We’ll offer insights into how a movie that features the talents of Barry, Joe Spinell (Willie Cicci from “The Godfather”), and Christopher Plummer could be so blooming bad – and yet so guiltily entertaining.
Even if you don’t know the movie, or think you don’t care, if you’ve got any nostalgia for the pop culture of the ‘60s and ‘70s, you won’t want to miss our commentary, which will be sure to touch on Dario Argento, James Bond, Ray Harryhausen, Lou Ferrigno, Lite-Brite, and “Baby, Baby, Fallin’ in Love.”
It would be a sin to miss our reflections on Sinbad, or Caroline Munro’s space bikini, or David Hasselhoff’s eyeliner. I hope you’ll join us for “Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner,” tonight (Sunday) at 7 p.m. EDT, live-streamed on his Facebook page.
