About this episode
We’ve reached the halfway point in our “Tribute to Ian” series and this one takes us to Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite with Stanley Kubrick and “2001: A Space Odyssey”. Adam is joined this week by podcaster and film columnist Brian Keiper to discuss everything from mimes as monkeys to whether or not HAL was a sympathetic character. While this film pushes the bounds of reality, we try to keep the conversation as grounded as possible. Also, Adam and Brian bring you their Top 5 Kubrick films. And – this week Brian recommends “Modern Romance” (available to rent on most major platforms) and Adam recommends “True Romance” (available on HBO Max).
