    Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we pull on our Kubrick pants and continue our odyssey looking at the 1968 sci-fi classic, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. Today, we look at what happened once 2001 was released and ask the ultimate question, "was HAL a shit robot?".

These 2 have a genuine love of movies - even the really horrible ones. Their enthusiasm is delightful.

A fun premise being explored with enthusiasm and a selfless willingness to find, watch, and review some truly strange movies.
