100th episode special! 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - Commander tier exclusive
Added 2025-10-08 13:24:15 +0000 UTCThe 100th episode special is never late, it arrives precisely when it means to. In this case, as the 101st episode thanks to a building alarm that WOULD NOT STOP GOING OFF in a neighbouring unit.
All of which is to bury the lead - the lead being that we've finally watched Stanley Kubrick's classic of classics, 2001: A Space Odyssey. For a podcast built on a foundation of Star Trek movies, which began with a stilted attempt to capture the grandeur of Kubrick's film, this has been a long time coming. Alien, Dune, Dark Star, Arrival - all have existed in the shadow of 2001, all in conversation with this early marker of what science fiction could look and feel like on screen.
And - oh god - Dave hasn't ever seen it! What the heck will he think? You can find out IMMEDIATELY.

I always enjoy the end of each episode - when the conversation just goes mental 😆
