The trees continue to demonstrate their disdain for all things Roy. Another downed sequoia knocked out his power for most of the day yesterday and apparently internet connectivity could only be achieved through his smartphone.
In the end, he was able to join us from the dark side of the moon (i.e. Phillipsburg, NJ) for a “Journey to the Center of the Earth” (1959). Hey, it’s to be expected that the Wi-Fi would be terrible at the earth’s core. Nevertheless, we soldiered on, probably talking over one another on occasion, but if you pretend that Roy took the red pill and is now living in the Matrix, you’ll be just fine.
That gives us a week to the straighten it all out, as next time we’ll be slipping into our footie jammies and pouring ourselves heaping bowls of Cap’n Crunch for a journey back to 1970s Saturday morning television and a tribute to the late Joanna Cameron. Those of a certain age will recognize her as mighty “Isis” (1975-77). At a point, she was also listed in the Guinness Book as having appeared in the most national television commercials in advertising history! Cameron died last month at the age of 73.
Joining us will be Lisa Everetts of the podcast “POP ninja,“ who was a personal friend of Cameron. Like us, “Pop Ninja” exudes an inordinate amount of affection for 1970s and ‘80s nostalgia. Check it out. It’s fun.
Then join us for our recollections of “Isis” on the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. Leave your moral lessons in the comments section. We’ll be crowing “Tut!” when we livestream on Facebook, next Friday evening at a special time, 8:00 EST!
