  • Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner Anniversary

    When I got home, I had to get my sound files for “Picture Perfect” and “The Lost Chord” in to KWAX for the next few weeks (they’re on the West Coast and therefore three hours behind), but now that I’m cooking dinner, I can finally take a few minutes to acknowledge my convivial lunch today with Roy! It’s all about the food, people…

    Yes, indeed, it’s my third anniversary as cohost of @[100063986017424:2048:Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner], the pandemic antidote that reunited two old friends after an intermission of, I think, 34 years. Thank you, Roy, for inviting me on your show. I guess I’m one of those nightmare guests who never knows when to leave.

    Here we are this afternoon, a couple of high-end tie-dye models, taking in lungs full of carcinogenic smoke from burning Canada, so you don’t have to. Sending condolences and best wishes to our friends north of the border (including the four-legged ones). Who would have thought we’d all live to see the kind of dystopia we used to encounter only in bad 1970s science fiction movies. All that’s missing is Jan Michael Vincent and some giant scorpions.

    Thanks to all of you who have tuned in week after week for the past few years. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know a lot of you through your witty and insightful commentary.

    If you haven’t tuned in, what are you waiting for? Oh. I guess we’re not on this week. But we’ll be back on June 16 at 7:30 PM EDT! If you really can’t wait, listen to what we have to say about “A Clockwork Orange,” at the link:

    Here’s to a live-long-and-prosperous fourth year! Nanu nanu!

  • Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner Episode 100 Delayed?

    Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner Episode 100 Delayed?

    Is it possible some superior intelligence doesn’t want you to see the 100th episode of Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner?

    After at least two postponements, a horrific storm ripped through New Jersey last night, slashing the heavens with lightning, amputating limbs, and leaving Roy and I bereft of electricity. Mine was restored, finally, around dawn (too late for a good night’s sleep), but as of this writing, Roy remains powerless.

    Be that as it may, we are determined that, after so many delays and setbacks, THE SHOW MUST GO ON. To this end, I’ll be sporting the tie-dye tee, as Roy leeches off the wi-fi of an unnamed neighborhood restaurant.

    Tune in for nostalgic highlights! Viewer trivia! Audience participation! Also, my annual, subversive birthday card to Roy!

    Marvel at the circles around my eyes, even as Roy runs circles around the suits. Join us in the comments section, or hop on camera and let us know how much you appreciate the show. L’amour the merrier, when we livestream on Facebook, this Sunday evening at 7:00 EDT!

    UPDATE: Roy’s electricity is back; mine was out again for half an hour this afternoon. Where this one will land is anyone’s guess!

  • Rollerball Tie-Dye Super Sunday Livestream

    Rollerball Tie-Dye Super Sunday Livestream

    Roy and I seemed to regain our mojo last night. Chalk it up to ROLLERBALL. That, and a whole lot of tie-dye (to say nothing of the hoagies and buffalo wings). They don’t call it Super Sunday for nothing.

    We’ll be back on Friday, to get you in the mood for Valentine’s Day, with THE FURY (1978). This Brian De Palma thriller is not just about Kirk Douglas and exploding heads. It also features a great score by John Williams from the same year he composed “Superman.” Happy birthday to the Maestro, who is 89 today!

    You don’t need extrasensory perception to divine that Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner will return, livestreamed on Facebook, this Friday evening at 7:00 EST!

  • Alien Movie Night Livestream Tie-Dye Sci-Fi

    Alien Movie Night Livestream Tie-Dye Sci-Fi

    In space, no one can hear you scream. Thankfully, somebody invented Zoom!

    I hope you’ll join us tomorrow night, as, once again, I assist Roy Bjellquist for another go ‘round on “Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner.” This week, we’ll take on Ridley Scott, Ripley, and the rest, in the 1979 classic “Alien.” “Alien” was the film that posited: if you’re suffering from chest pains, you’re lucky if it’s only a heart attack.

    We’ll talk about the film’s refreshingly adult themes, trendsetting production design, and of course, its unforgettable creature. You’re also guaranteed to catch an earful about Jerry Goldsmith and Howard Hanson’s “Romantic Symphony.”

    The pitch-perfect ensemble cast includes Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, John Hurt, Yaphet Kotto, and the late Ian Holm, who died only last Friday at the age of 88.

    This is not a distress signal – it’s a warning! Join us for the next Facebook livestream of “Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner,” this Friday evening at 7:00 EDT!
