New Show Opener Space 1999 An American Werewolf

Have you checked out our exciting new show-opener yet? Thanks to Jeffrey Morris and Frederick Haugen for the cool graphic design and Michael Nelson for the funky theme music, which lends the segment such a great retro vibe.

Jeffrey was Roy’s guest last night for a discussion about “Space: 1999” nightmare-fuel episode “Dragon’s Domain” (1975). The conversation is archived here: https://www.facebook.com/roystiedyescificorner/videos/740540671404055

Jeffrey is in the process of filming a documentary about the cultural impact of “Space: 1999”s iconic spacecraft, the Eagle. Learn more about it and his other film and television projects for @[100058107853311:2048:FutureDude Entertainment] at futuredude.com.

Roy and I will reconvene tomorrow to sink our teeth into “An American Werewolf in London” (1981). Flash us a moon in the comments section, when we livestream on Facebook, YouTube, etc., this Sunday night at 7:00 EDT!

FutureDude & Space 1999 on Roy’s Sci-Fi Corner

It was our great pleasure to welcome Jeffrey Morris last night on Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. Morris, the founder and CCO of FutureDude Entertainment, is a true Renaissance man, with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of ideas, talent, and achievement.

His latest project, scheduled to begin production next month, is “The Eagle Has Landed,” a documentary about the iconic “Space: 1999” transporter. Nick Tate, who played Alan Carter on the cult series, is set to narrate, with award-winning effects artist Brian Johnson also committed to participate.

We also got to hear about some of Morris’ other projects – “Parallel Man, “Oceanus,” and “Persephone” – and their continuing evolution over various media. In addition, he spoke about, among other things, his extraordinary parents and his experiences with Prince!

There’s even more information at futuredude.com. You can check out last night’s show here:

Next week, the internet gods willing, we’ll finally welcome Patrick Read Johnson, who had to reschedule from January 27 because of connectivity issues. We’ll talk about coming of age in the 1970s, the transformative impact of “Star Wars,” experiments in Super-8 filmmaking, and Johnson’s subsequent adventures in Hollywood, including the making of his new film 5-25-77. (In case you don’t know, “Star Wars” was released on May 25, 1977.)

Both these gentlemen, Morris and Johnson, for me, are like roads not taken. There were a lot of parallels in our childhoods and development, but somehow they figured out how to follow their dreams, channel their talents, and seize the day.

There will be plenty more film, sci-fi, and nostalgia, as we welcome Patrick Read Johnson, when we livestream on Facebook, YouTube, etc., next Friday evening at 7:30 EST.

FutureDude Sci-Fi with Jeffrey Morris

Tonight on Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner, we look forward to welcoming back Jeffrey Morris of FutureDude Entertainment. Morris will talk about his film projects “Persephone,” “The Parallel Man,” and “Oceanus,” as well as an upcoming documentary about the Eagle, the iconic ship from “Space: 1999.”

A child of the Apollo era, Morris was instilled with an early love of science. In the wake of “Star Wars,” he also became fascinated with film and began to think about the nuts and bolts of cinema. This set him on a path, as a writer, producer, director, and production designer, which now has him telling speculative stories that might best be described as hard science fiction – fiction in which the laws of science and the plausible evolution of technology are honored, but NOT at the expense of crackerjack adventure.

To get a taste of Morris’ inspiring vision, follow the link.

Then join us tonight for a conversation with the extraordinary Jeffrey Morris. Fly with the Eagle, as we livestream on Facebook, YouTube, etc., this Friday evening at 7:30 EST!
