Open the pod cast doors, HAL - it\u2019s time for us to talk about one of the most important movies in cinema history. Jordan Hoffman - the friend of the pod who best represents both the \u201cdiamond-hard Sci Fi\u201d and psychedelic head-trip factions of 2001 fandom - returns to Blank Check, and we\u2019re doling out the knowledge *and* the giggles. When is the ideal moment to \u201cpartake\u201d in order to get the trippiest experience from 2001? Is Griffin starting to change his mind about Kubrick not being funny? Do Arthur C. Clark and Dr. Evil buy their jackets from the same tailor? Is this movie actually all about dick jokes? \n\nCheck out Jordan\u2019s writing on Thrillist\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on\xa0Instagram,\xa0Threads,\xa0Facebook\xa0and\xa0X!\nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our\xa0Reddit\xa0or\xa0Discord\nFor anything else, check out\xa0BlankCheckPod.com\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
