The Beautful Complexity of 2001: A Space Odyssey

Published: Aug. 14, 2023, 1 p.m.

Jason's been talking with Gideon and Janice Marcus about 2001: A Space Odyssey quite a bit recently as they were part of the team covering the film for the amazing site Galactic Journey, where we cover media from 55 years ago. We figured we might as well capture some thoughts about the movie together, including some fairly controversial ideas about whether viewers have everything they need on the surface to really make sense of the film, whether HAL goes crazy or in fact is obeying his orders, and what the ultimate goals are for the monolith.

We think this is a must-listen for anyone who loves this classic film - or who loves a fun, thoughtful chat about movies in general.
