Burroughs Interview Delayed New Date Set

Alas and alack! Internet issues have caused us to postpone our interview (previously scheduled for Sunday) with Edgar Rice Burroughs authority Scott Tracy Griffin. Griffin has now kindly agreed to join us on Sunday, August 22, at 7 PM.

The Burroughs delay only gives me more time to shovel in more Tarzan and John Carter! Among Griffin’s extensive writings on Burroughs are two lavishly illustrated books, “Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration” and “Tarzan on Film.”

In the meantime, Roy and I will continue, full steam ahead, with our planned discussion of the 1961 Irwin Allen film “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” (with Roy leeching off the wi-fi of a certain area restaurant), tomorrow evening at 7:30 EDT.

NOTE THAT SPECIAL START TIME!

Whether rumbling in the jungle or sleeping with fishes, we hope you’ll join us in the comments section, as we livestream on Facebook, on Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner!

Shatner, Bond, and Voyage! Sci-Fi Talk

Watch the show William Shatner may have watched (for two seconds). Roy and I discuss “The Spy Who Loved Me.”

We’re off next week, but we’ll be back on August 6th at 7:30 pm EDT to talk about “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” (1961) – the movie, not the SUB-sequent TV series. (See what I did there?) Note the special start time!

We had originally scheduled “Voyage” for last night, only to discover it had apparently dropped off of all streaming services. So a big thank you to Alan Wendt, who was kind enough to share this link.

It is also scheduled to air on FXM this Monday, beginning at 11:25 am.

In the meantime, I’ll be on a “see food” diet. Leave your crab cakes in the comments section, on the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. We livestream on Facebook, August 6th – Friday after next – at 7:30 pm!

Cursed 100th Episode Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea

For one reason or other, someone must have placed a curse on our 100th episode.

After numerous setbacks, postponements and delays – marked by electrical storms, power outages, and other technical difficulties – Roy and I dug in to make our last stand against the Fates. Whether or not the Fates won is for you to decide. All we have in the way of evidence is that the show was splintered into three parts and the debris wound up scattered over two different Facebook pages. I think everything is now made public and can be accessed at Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner.

A less hubristic team would have abandoned ship and paddled like mad for Episode 101. I hope you’ll join us, at a time when that sinking feeling will be a lot less disconcerting, as we discuss “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea” (1961), the film that inspired the popular Irwin Allen television series. Walter Pidgeon leads an all-star cast. Hope to “Sea” you in the comments section, this Friday evening at 7:00 EDT.

If nothing else, check out this four-and-a-half minute special moments montage Roy assembled from his first hundred episodes, chock full of guests like actor Jimmi Simpson (“Westworld”), special effects artist Brian Johnson (“Space: 1999,” “The Empire Strikes Back), and Academy Award nominated composer Gerald Fried (“Star Trek,” “Paths of Glory”), to name a few. Also, memorable antics like the “Silent Running” drive-thru, the “Rollerball” hoagie, and the “Dr. Lao” Big Shave. Thank you to all of our viewers, and to everyone who participated in the first 100 episodes!

All shows are archived on the “Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner” Facebook page.
