More movie magic. It’s time yet again for another episode of The Canon: An Essential Movies Watchlist. Today is all about 2001: A Space Odyssey. Happy listening, screenagers!
Episode 106: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

This episode goes beyond the infinite! Dave Wilson is back to talk about one of the 3 or 4 most monumental movies ever made – Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Raf and Dave rank the best cinematic Daves and the Knicks winning the NBA cup. But also, what’s the real meaning of the monolith? And is the star child a version of space buddha or cosmic nirvana?
