  • Roy’s Sci-Fi: St. Patrick’s Day Hiatus

    Roy’s Sci-Fi: St. Patrick’s Day Hiatus

    Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner will not be seen tonight, in order that we may better commune with St. Patrick.

    However, if you get all sentimental after a few glasses of stout, you can always call up this classic episode from 2021, about “Darby O’Gill and the Little People.” This is the one in which the viewers and I enjoy a private joke and get wasted at Roy’s expense (which is revealed only at the end of the show).

    Sorry, I haven’t grown back the beard. I still look 20 years younger. But I’ll do my best to catch up with a night of hard living.

    Later this weekend, be sure to join Roy and special guest, author and Starlog Magazine writer David Hirsch, as they discuss Professor Bernard Quatermass and his half-century of rescuing mankind from sinister alien forces, during the course of the various “Quatermass” adventures, on radio, television, and film.

    The show will be livestreamed on Facebook, YouTube, etc., at a special time, THIS SUNDAY EVENING AT 7:00 EDT.

    For now, remember to donnybrook responsibly. Roy and I will reconvene next Friday evening at 7:30 (provided somebody posts bail).

    Sláinte!

  • Avengers Christmas & Space 1999 Talk

    Avengers Christmas & Space 1999 Talk

    Last night I must have been getting blocked by telepaths, because I was having a dickens of a time remembering anyone’s names (Dennis Leary, Judy Davis, George Sanders, etc.). Either that, or Roy’s COVID fog is spreading. Or, I suppose, I may just be getting old.

    But it is the Christmas season, so I’ll be charitable to myself and chalk it up to an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato… There was more of gravy than of grave about last night’s discussion.

    At least “The Avengers” (1961-69) is still fresh. Here’s our conversation about the series and its 1965 holiday episode “Too Many Christmas Trees.”

    We don’t know what we’re doing next week yet (we’re still negotiating over Christmas devil movies), but if you’re a “Space: 1999” fan, you might enjoy a special edition of Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner, tomorrow afternoon, as David Hirsch and Robert Wood join Roy to discuss their new book, “Maybe There: The Lost Stories from Space: 1999.”

    Drop by, “Space” out, and leave your comments, when they livestream on Facebook, YouTube, etc., THIS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT 2:00 EST.
