Austin Powers Tie-Dye Sci-Fi!

Sure, it’s scatological, juvenile, and often just plain crass – I still don’t know how they managed to get Michael York to be in it – but “Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery” (1997) has its share of amusing ‘60s send-ups, affectionately poking fun at the era’s trends and tropes and music, with scattershot allusions to everything from James Bond to “Blow-Up” to “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.” It’s our topic for this week on Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. Join us in the comments section as we somersault into Season 4. The power of Austin compels us, when we livestream on Facebook, YouTube, etc., this Friday evening at 7:30 EDT!

While I’m at it, it occurs to me, I never posted the link to our Season 3 finale, in which we discuss the classic “Star Trek” episode “Spock’s Brain” while I enjoy a liquid dinner.

Roy’s Sci-Fi Corner Postponed Rescheduled!

I am very sorry to report that tonight’s scheduled anniversary celebration of Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner – which today marks three years of perfecting the balance between nostalgia and banter in relation to science fiction and fantasy in classic television and film – has had to be postponed, as Roy is under the weather.

However, we’re optimistic that he’ll have talked Dr. McCoy through the process of surgically reconnecting his cerebrum before the Easter weekend. We hope you’ll be able to join us for our discussion of the “Star Trek” original series episode “Spock’s Brain,” to be livestreamed on Facebook, YouTube, etc., THIS THURSDAY EVENING AT 7:00 EDT.

In the meantime, we apologize for the inconvenience. You can console yourself by ordering an official t-shirt at the “Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner” Facebook page, several of which are modeled here by Roy’s cat, the always slinky and stylish Squeaker.

Spock’s Brain Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner Anniversary

How to celebrate three years of Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner? It’s a no-brainer.

We’ll discuss the third season opener of “Star Trek,” the original series: Captain Kirk and crew scramble to recover their unflappable first officer’s noodle in “Spock’s Brain” (1968).

Widely reviled as one of the worst “Star Trek” episodes ever made, the subject is guaranteed to spark a lively conversation, with plenty of digressions and not a few laughs.

Get ready for another year of mindless chatter, as Roy and I put our heads together for “Spock’s Brain.” Your gray matter is required in the comments section, when we livestream on Facebook, YouTube, etc., at a special time, THIS MONDAY EVENING AT 7:00 EDT!
