"It's just super cold it's being on you know super Everest for a few seconds yeah I always had this the image from Total Recall of Arnold on Mars when he takes off the summit and immediately one thing that's cool." "The colors are so great but that's in so 60sYeah and 60s style everywhere. Like you were saying it's retro futuristic because it's still believable that it's the future" 'I was like I was also referring to the dress suits that they wear in the like you had' "'Til death do us part," says John Cusack, who is set to star as Captain Jack Harkonnett in next year's Star Trek
We welcome Sam Harris back to the show for a deep dive into Stanley Kubrick’s confounding 1968 masterpiece "2001: A Space Odyssey." How long is the Dawn of Man? What does the second monolith do exactly? Why are the humans so banal and expressionless? What are HAL’S motivations? Has he planned his mutiny from the start, or does the Council’s deception make him manlfunction? Or something else? Who is the Council anyway? Was HAL meant to go through the stargate? What is the final leap forward in consciousness? The hotel room, the starchild, all the rectangles, rectangles everywhere, the music – what does it all mean????
Plus Sam has some thoughts about our Rorty episode and David tries to rile Tamler up about Kanye’s antisemitism.
note: there's a bit of an abrupt transition between our brief opening and Sam telling a story about Rorty in around the 9 minute mark... couldn't be helped.
Special Guest: Sam Harris.
