Episode 68 - Max Meets the Monolith (2010: The Year We Make Content)

We've finally reached the point where we have to address Max addressing TMA-2, preferably not claws-out with that crunchy pod.

The additional meanings of the Monolith in 2010, how it's activated, bu what (or whom)...and the additional mysteries of "Big Brother."

The massive differences between this part of the film and the book. And why Max was always going to be the one who had to take this mission.

Follow along as we take the mission with Max! (1:02:19 on the Bluray & digital version)

The chunky beauty of Syd Mead's pod designs and the hypnotizing glow of Albert Brenner's spaceship consoles. And why Heywood has whiskey.

Plus: 50 years of Barry Lyndon!
