Today, The Kicking the Seat Podcast and Cole Rush of The Quill to Live return with a towering black monolith of “Page2Screen” outrage as they review 2010! Arthur C. Clarke’s 2010: Odyssey Two is one of the guys’ favorite books. Peter Hyams’ film adaptation, The Year We Make Contact, however, is about as expensive and empty an interpretation as one could imagine.

In this highly spoilerific exploration, Ian and Cole discuss the movie’s numerous missteps in terms of characterization, theme, and general spirit—with an emphasis on a couple of key components whose absence from the movie render the whole endeavor basically pointless.

Episode 578 is sorry, but it cannot allow you to do that!
