Episode 69 - My Bowman's Back! (2010: The Year We Make Content)

After being trapped for months, Brad has finally cracked step 10 and escaped the Zero Gravity toilet, and the team's back to celebrate the return of our favorite steely-eyed missile man... Keir Dullea! And the actor who plays him, David Bowman! 

Though Dullea's interviews and Kubrick's notes (episode 17),  the two identities blur between the extraterrestrial diplomat and the well-preserved doughboy who plays him, And Bowman has evolved - in every sense - when he arrives in "2010," through Clarke's vision and Hyams' directing and screenwriting choices. 

What really happened to Bowman since he went through the stargate in "2001"? 

The differences between the "2010" book and film both in the details and the larger story implications. His relationship with Betty, and he wisdom he imparts to Floyd.

Keir Dullea in 1984 as an actor and a person and how it informs a wiser Bowman. 

How Clarke and Hyams envision Bowman's transformation. The amazing Oscar-nominated makeup by Michael Westmore and the legacy of the Westmores.

Plus: Brownian movement, Connect Four, and Betty's fabulous apartment.
