Open the pod bay doors, HAL. I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that. We are joined by Matthew Ross from The VOD Squad to discuss the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. This movie doesn’t have any of the fancy CGI of today’s movies, and we discuss whether the practical effects of this movie still work 50-60 years later? Plus, Matt and Willie debate whether the pacing actually helps the story or not and we compare IBM’s Watson to HAL 9000, a supercomputer that won a rap battle against Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. I promise it makes sense.
