This is definitely one of my all time favorite films in general and it really opened me up to the magic and deep storytelling that movies could provide. I'm glad to see that you two did it justice and went ahead and reviewed it because it is definitely a cornerstone of filmmaking and an inspiration for so many other movies. Great job guys, keep up the amazing work and I can't wait to see the next one. 👍😁

I think that HAL saw the flaws and the errors in the humans on the ship and hatched a plan to fake the antenna failure in an attempt to off the crew mates one by one starting with Frank, then the sleeping crewmates, and then Dave

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Interesting theory! What are the flaws that HAL saw in humans?

[@bradleyearnshaw7023]

@@raidersofthelostpodcast_ I see it as HAL seeing an imperfect life and how maybe their emotions and desires could distract from the mission. It would rid the mission of any chance that the humans being too scared or not having the guts to do what it takes to reach peak intelligence.

@@bradleyearnshaw7023 I like that! Fortunately, film is subjective, especially 2001, so there are no right or wrong answers

This is one of my favorite discussions of 2001. Thanks, guys! I love to watch this movie--it soothes my existential dread. The opening music accompanying the eclipse is the introduction of Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra and was intended to depict the sunrise, and Zoroaster greeting a new phase in his life.

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

Thank you!

The University I work at in London, was left the Stanley Kubrick archive by his estate. It is a really unbelievable exhibition to visit.

[@raidersofthelostpodcast_]

That's incredible!

One of my absolute if not the best sci fi film of all time. I own it on dvd and have seen it at least 20 times. I’ve heard you guys say this one didn’t get much traction but I’m elated other folks have a chance to find out about this if they care about sci fi film history. Im glad there’s other ppl with the same perspective as mine for 2001. ✌️🤙

Glad you love it too!! 💯💯

So i have never actually seen this movie but when you were talking about the intro song, i didn't know what it was so i looked it up on youtube and when i tell you my jaw DROPPED! I did not know this is where it came from!

YES! It was originally composed by Richard Strauss in 1896, made by famous by this film

[@newforestpixie5297]

It’s a pretty simple idea but I’m not an intellectual so my thought goes like this - Humans are definitely the misfits on Earth in as much as being the only creatures with the power to destroy the place which does get me wondering if there was some tinkering done by science or ‘gods ‘ ! Thankyou for your work 👍😁

it would be good to collaborate with Lee McCoy(Drumdums) and Cody Leach on classic movies namely Sergio Leone and the Western's of the 1950's 1960's and 1970's
