2001: A Space Odyssey - Overrated, is Kubrick a Charlatan?
This week we tackle a 1968 epic science fiction film , widely recognised as one of the greatest and most influential ever made. Directed by Stanley Kubrick , it sees a mysterious artifact uncovered on the moon, leading to a spacecraft manned by two humans and one super computer being sent to Jupiter to find its origins. Hominids and psychedelic sequences ensue, it's 2001: A SACE ODYSSEY!
We talk all things Cast, Production and Plot, and there's a game called A Space Oddity, where we put Carl's knowledge of space movies to the test!
Plus we reveal our top 3 space movies and review some more potential entries to the Movie The Needle Classics Collection. Let us know your submissions!

Join us (Simon and Carl) as we explain our opposing viewpoints and seeing whether we can mov(i)e the needle for one another.
