    Episode 1 The Dawn of Man

    In the premier episode, your host Chico Leo chews over the technical marvels of The Dawn of Man, Stanley Kubrick’s mind-blowing prologue to 2001: A Space Odyssey, taking us through the daily struggles of a troop of humanity’s earliest ancestors and their ferocious efforts just to survive on a Zimbabwe Savannah 3,000,0000 years ago, while also doing a deep dive into the evolution of Hollywood’s long storied relationship with Gorilla Suits.
