With special guest Kathryn Ferentchak!The history of cinema can be divided into two distinct eras: before and after this week's film. Jackie and Greg are joined by Kat as they get their hands dirty and dig deep with Stanley Kubrick's landmark masterpiece. Topics of discussion include comparisons to the Arthur C. Clarke novel, Kubrick's ambiguity (and how his style of adapting source material plays a part), how some of the special effects were achieved (and why they still hold up today), the sonic design of the film, HAL 9000 as one of Kubrick's greatest characters, and why the Monolith is the sexiest (and scariest) piece of technology in all of movies. This is one you don't want to miss!#6 on Sight & Sound's 2012 "The 100 Greatest Films of All Time" list.https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/polls/greatest-films-all-time-2012Check us out at our official website: https://www.sceneandheardpod.comJoin our weekly film club: https://www.instagram.com/arroyofilmclubJP Instagram/Twitter: jacpostajGK Instagram: gkleinschmidtPhotography: Matt AraquistainMusic: Andrew CoxSpecial Thanks: Kathryn FerentchakSupport the showSupport the show on Patreon: patreon.com/SceneandHeardPodorSubscribe just to get access to our bonus episodes: buzzsprout.com/1905508/subscribe
