Jun 25, 201900:23:52Tap to summarizeAnd we are back (so soon?, the plaintive cries arise) with a look at the ultimate science fiction film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, as a result of Fred’s multi-volume dive into various behind the scenes looks at the film, as well as a biography of Sir Arthur C. Clarke and some side jaunts into interests inspired by Clarke. Along the way we also delve into comedy and the horror of a remake of the classic. It’s the Ultimate Log of the Ultimate Trip. We're right on time, celebrating 50 years of 2001, a year late. Fred Kiesche, John E.O.
