Chris and Rudi take advantage of another minute of overture to place 2001: A Space Odyssey into some MF-ing context. Rudi drops some science about 1968, Chris gets weirdly obsessed that the title of "Oliver!" has an exclamation point. There's also a deep dive into the Oscars 2001 didn't win (or even get nominated for).
