We know Stanley Kubrick was a chess player and logic puzzle fanatic. What conscious and subconscious meanings did he bury in his later films through numbers and patterns? What is the role of model theory?

Who better to lead us through the various bridges of this numbers maze than a structural engineer and a foremost Kubrick scholar? It's the one and only R.H. Vatcher!

What does 42 mean in "2001" and "The Shining?"

What's the recurring symbolic number in "Full Metal Jacket"?

The difference between numerology and number puzzles. Polysemic meanings and abstract math.

Plus: Grace Slick, "Eyes Wide Shut," and being mistaken for A.I.

For July's first Patreon Bonus episode, we continue our conversation with Virginia Smith and try to determine if HAL gets to become "a real boy."

The differences in how Kubrick and Hyams treat HAL and Discovery. How both directors deal with space and Space, and somehow create that Odyssey sense of wonder.

We discuss the broad range of science fiction and look at the differences between mystery vs. action, suspense vs. horror.

From "Short Circuit" to "The Goonies," the power of DIY fandom and the beauty of coming together at conventions to share the love.

Plus: the shocking lack of HAL merchandise, and a special announcement from Virginia about an upcoming HAL-related project...
