Poparena and QuantumJoker Vs. Confused Matthew's '2001' review, part 9

Welcome to the final part of our '2001 Retrospective', in which Poparena and I share closing remarks on CM's '2001: A Space Odyssey' review.

We would both like to thank you all for watching this discussion. Through this nine-part series, Poparena and I sought to address the meaning of 2001, its narrative and scenes, and to confront the flaws in CM's critique.
Let us know how we did.

Cheers!

Great closing point. Shame you took 9 parts to get to it resulting in only 173 views. Personally I think CM is a tad over eager to be controversial in order to get more viewers and more word of mouth about his channel. I don't believe he's being disingenuous, but he probably just turns the filter off and lets loose, intentionally not trying to be more nuanced to pump up the controversy. After all, who said talk-radio was limited to...well..the radio.

@poparena Hey, after watching the full thing, I kind of disagree on FMJ. I think you should watch it again, but watch it from the same perspective as you did 2001. If you notice, there's lots of deep ideas coming through, such as Hartman planting the "spree killer" mentality into his soldiers, who then get picked off one by one from a sniper, experiencing the spree killer idea from the other side, the victim. It's really smart, but hidden through lots of swearing and fun.

I need a new mic. :P

This whole thing turned out pretty well, though. We should do it again sometime soon!
