I can’t believe this! For the past months, I’ve been working my way through old episodes of “The Avengers,” with Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg (as opposed to Iron Man and Captain America). While there have been many familiar faces that have popped up as guest stars over the course of the series, surely I deserve some kind of award for identifying Neil McCarthy – who played Calibos in “Clash of the Titans!”
Even I don’t know how I did that!
It’s probably wise not follow our recommendations on matters ranging from vulture hygiene to Sterno consumption, but if you can get past all that, you might find an agreeable time-burner in last night’s discussion of “The Andromeda Strain.”
Guest Rob Kash and I may have had a bit of a dust-up over a supposed familial connection between Leslie and Trevor Howard, and I may have lost my cool over no one having heard of “Brief Encounter,” but it all ended happily, with an orange hand puppet more abhorrent than any contagion.
Roy and I will be back to light a fuse under Oliver Reed (who I’m sure knew a thing or two about the taste of Sterno), Diana Rigg, and Telly Savalas, with an appreciation of “The Assassination Bureau” (1969), on the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner, this Friday night at 7:00 EST!
