Sam: I've enjoyed your movie reviews uh from afar as a uh as a listener for now years so i'm happy to happy to be involved in that we were excited we're excited about having you to talk about this. Sam: It occurred to me you should publish a little of the best movies to see with kids but whether anyone else would I wouldn't watch it with my daughter yeah wait till she's 42 she's going to say it's boringi guarantee she's only 14 generation.
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.
