Episode #21: 2001: A Space Odyssey

We have a guest! This week Nick and Randy are joined by Aidan Caughy to cover a little known film called 2001: A Space Odyssey directed by Stanley Kubrick and released in 1968. This is the second film from Kubrick we have covered on the podcast after The Shining and it's just as divisive as that episode. Aidan, Nick, and Randy discuss their experience reading the novelization of the movie by Arthur C. Clarke released after the movie before diving into this cultural monolith in the film world. Join us this week on our journey to Clavius and potentially turning into space babies in the 21st installment of Read, Watch, Play covering 2001: A Space Odyssey Song at end of episode: That Lizard by Caughy Caughy Instagram Source Material: 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C.
