2001: A Space Odyssey and Solaris: Two Sci Fi Classics Which Are Mirrors to Each Other

Published: May 1, 2023, 1 p.m.

Chris joins Jason again this week to discuss two of the greatest and most mystifying science fiction films of all time: 2001: A Space Odyssey and Solaris. These two films are definitively in conversation with each other, with Solaris director Andrei Tarkovsky stating he made choices in style and character which influenced the direction he took with his film. Chris and Jason dig deep into the similarities and differences, batting around questions about character, complexity and humanity in worlds created by unknowable aliens.

We think it's a good listen and hope you'll agree!
