You probably didn’t know this, but Stanley Kubrick’s seminal 1968 movie “2001: A Space Odyssey” was followed up in 1984 with “2010: The Year We Make Contact.” While most people in the ‘80s overlooked Arthur C. Clarke’s red-headed sequel, we’re gonna review the story of “2010” from our doomscrolling perch in the 2020s, and we can guarantee a 65% accuracy. Hal 9000 would likely refuse to open the pod bay doors for us after listening to this episode, but while we await the AI singularity to finally do us in for good, let’s revisit a time back when the future looked hopeful.
