Episode 102: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and 2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984)

  • Summary

  • In this cosmic voyage of an episode, Stuart and Jacob traverse the starry expanse of Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" and its sequel "2010: The Year We Make Contact" directed by Peter Hyams. From the dawn of man to the birth of a new star, they delve into the evolution of a genre-defining classic and its less-celebrated successor. How does the enigmatic and visually stunning original compare to the more conventional narrative of the follow-up? And can the sequel's Cold War backdrop and additional characters stand up to the original's sparse and contemplative storytelling?


    Also in this episode are talks on the merits of long movie runtimes, ruminations on the initial episode of the Fallout television series, Jacob's memories of Lithgow and a dolphin, and a debate as to the purpose of the monoliths. All this and more on They Remade It!
