Podcasts about The Bicentennial Man

Notes: The conversation begins with his path into teaching public policy, despite never having planned a conventional academic career, and why translating technical subjects for non-technical students became rewarding work. He explains the importance of analogies and memorable language when communicating difficult concepts, noting that terms such as “security theatre” can help audiences quickly grasp complex ideas before deeper nuance is added. The original meaning of security theatre was intentionally critical, though he later came to recognize that symbolic security measures can sometimes provide reassurance and psychological value even when they do little to reduce objective risk. Effective cybersecurity often depends on economics, incentives, usability, and human behaviour, not simply technical controls. He reflects on the development of fields examining both the economics and psychology of security. The discussion examines AI-generated content, manipulated images, and why many current concerns about authenticity are extensions of older problems that existed throughout the history of photography and media. He warns that conversational AI systems can create parasocial relationships in which users relate to corporations as though they were trusted companions or advisers. On harmful technologies, he argues that regulation remains one of society's most effective tools, comparing AI governance to safety regulation in aviation, pharmaceuticals, and food systems. He emphasizes the need for more “public interest technologists” capable of translating between engineering, policy, and social science perspectives. AI is likely to enhance both cyber offenders and defenders. He suggests phishing and scams may scale through automation, while defenders will also use AI to detect fraud and patch vulnerabilities. The conversation also explores whether AI will deepen inequality through access to computing power, with a more optimistic view offered that increasingly efficient models may broaden access rather than restrict it.

In this episode, we go behind the scenes with two titans of the make-up world: Bruce Grayson and Jeff McKinnon. From red carpets to starships, their work has shaped how we see Hollywood's biggest icons. Bruce Grayson, his lifelong passion that led Bruce to become the Make-Up Department Head for The Oscars, The Emmys, The Golden Globes, and The Grammys. I caught up with him while he's in the thick of prepping Mariah Carey's Holiday Special, and he reflects on the evolution of glamour, precision, and storytelling through make-up. Jeff McKinnon, Emmy Award-winning artist and head of the Make-Up Department for Star Trek: Picard, joins us from the set to talk prosthetics, sci-fi aesthetics, and the emotional power of transformation. With credits that include Halloween H20 and Bicentennial Man, Jeff brings a deep understanding of genre, character, and craft. Together, Bruce and Jeff offer insights into the artistry, legacy, and innovation that define their careers—and the unforgettable faces they help bring to life.

The first of Robin's "Robotic" roles. In Bicentennial Man, Robin plays Andrew, a robot butler who serves a family but realizes he has a consciousness and a soul, but rather than ask the deeper and more meaningful questions like the sanctity of life, intrinsic value and the soul, Robin is more interested in questions like "Can a robot open a bank account?" and "Can a robot and a human get married and go to pound town?"

In this week's episode the brothers have a lot of sports to catch up on including the start of the Sabres and Lakers seasons, NFL week 8 results, and a Lions vs Vikings preview.

Now we build them to complete us. What happens when we merge — and what do we carry forward?A new transmission from Musing On Society and Technology Newsletter, by Marco CiappelliIn my last musing, I revisited Robbie, the first of Asimov's robot stories — a quiet, loyal machine who couldn't speak, didn't simulate emotion, and yet somehow felt more trustworthy than the artificial intelligences we surround ourselves with today. I ended that piece with a question, a doorway:If today's machines can already mimic understanding — convincing us they comprehend more than they do — what happens when the line between biology and technology dissolves completely? When carbon and silicon, organic and artificial, don't just co-exist, but merge?I didn't pull that idea out of nowhere. It was sparked by something Asimov himself said in a 1965 BBC interview — a clip that keeps resurfacing and hitting harder every time I hear it. He spoke of a future where humans and machines would converge, not just in function, but in form and identity. He wasn't just imagining smarter machines. He was imagining something new. Something between.And that idea has never felt more real than now.We like to think of evolution as something that happens slowly, hidden in the spiral of DNA, whispered across generations. But what if the next mutation doesn't come from biology at all? What if it comes from what we build?I've always believed we are tool-makers by nature — and not just with our hands. Our tools have always extended our bodies, our senses, our minds. A stone becomes a weapon. A telescope becomes an eye. A smartphone becomes a memory. And eventually, we stop noticing the boundary. The tool becomes part of us.It's not just science fiction. Philosopher Andy Clark — whose work I've followed for years — calls us “natural-born cyborgs.” Humans, he argues, are wired to offload cognition into the environment. We think with notebooks. We remember with photographs. We navigate with GPS. The boundary between internal and external, mind and machine, was never as clean as we pretended.And now, with generative AI and predictive algorithms shaping the way we write, learn, speak, and decide — that blur is accelerating. A child born today won't “use” AI. She'll think through it. Alongside it. Her development will be shaped by tools that anticipate her needs before she knows how to articulate them. The machine won't be a device she picks up — it'll be a presence she grows up with.This isn't some distant future. It's already happening. And yet, I don't believe we're necessarily losing something. Not if we're aware of what we're merging with. Not if we remember who we are while becoming something new.This is where I return, again, to Asimov — and in particular, The Bicentennial Man. It's the story of Andrew, a robot who spends centuries gradually transforming himself — replacing parts, expanding his experiences, developing feelings, claiming rights — until he becomes legally, socially, and emotionally recognized as human. But it's not just about a machine becoming like us. It's also about us learning to accept that humanity might not begin and end with flesh.We spend so much time fearing machines that pretend to be human. But what if the real shift is in humans learning to accept machines that feel — or at least behave — as if they care?And what if that shift is reciprocal?Because here's the thing: I don't think the future is about perfect humanoid robots or upgraded humans living in a sterile, post-biological cloud. I think it's messier. I think it's more beautiful than that.I think it's about convergence. Real convergence. Where machines carry traces of our unpredictability, our creativity, our irrational, analog soul. And where we — as humans — grow a little more comfortable depending on the very systems we've always built to support us.Maybe evolution isn't just natural selection anymore. Maybe it's cultural and technological curation — a new kind of adaptation, shaped not in bone but in code. Maybe our children will inherit a sense of symbiosis, not separation. And maybe — just maybe — we can pass along what's still beautiful about being analog: the imperfections, the contradictions, the moments that don't make sense but still matter.We once built tools to serve us. Now we build them to complete us.And maybe — just maybe — that completion isn't about erasing what we are. Maybe it's about evolving it. Stretching it. Letting it grow into something wider.Because what if this hybrid species — born of carbon and silicon, memory and machine — doesn't feel like a replacement… but a continuation?Imagine a being that carries both intuition and algorithm, that processes emotion and logic not as opposites, but as complementary forms of sense-making. A creature that can feel love while solving complex equations, write poetry while accessing a planetary archive of thought. A soul that doesn't just remember, but recalls in high-resolution.Its body — not fixed, but modular. Biological and synthetic. Healing, adapting, growing new limbs or senses as needed. A body that weathers centuries, not years. Not quite immortal, but long-lived enough to know what patience feels like — and what loss still teaches.It might speak in new ways — not just with words, but with shared memories, electromagnetic pulses, sensory impressions that convey joy faster than language. Its identity could be fluid. Fractals of self that split and merge — collaborating, exploring, converging — before returning to the center.This being wouldn't live in the future we imagined in the '50s — chrome cities, robot butlers, and flying cars. It would grow in the quiet in-between: tending a real garden in the morning, dreaming inside a neural network at night. Creating art in a virtual forest. Crying over a story it helped write. Teaching a child. Falling in love — again and again, in new and old forms.And maybe, just maybe, this hybrid doesn't just inherit our intelligence or our drive to survive. Maybe it inherits the best part of us: the analog soul. The part that cherishes imperfection. That forgives. That imagines for the sake of imagining.That might be our gift to the future. Not the code, or the steel, or even the intelligence — but the stubborn, analog soul that dares to care.Because if Robbie taught us anything, it's that sometimes the most powerful connection comes without words, without simulation, without pretense.And if we're now merging with what we create, maybe the real challenge isn't becoming smarter — it's staying human enough to remember why we started creating at all.Not just to solve problems. Not just to build faster, better, stronger systems. But to express something real. To make meaning. To feel less alone. We created tools not just to survive, but to say: “We are here. We feel. We dream. We matter.”That's the code we shouldn't forget — and the legacy we must carry forward.Until next time,Marco_________________________________________________

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars and movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Sometimes we are lucky enough to even speak with them about their work. And sometimes, they are both a movie star and a movie director. Today that's Embeth Davidtz, director of Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight, now in theaters and expanding this weekend. Our B-Sides include Feast of July, The Gingerbread Man, Mansfield Park, and Bicentennial Man. We speak with Davidtz about her directorial debut, her incredibly diverse acting career, and adapting from the memoir by Alexandra Fuller. There's extended discussion of Robert Altman's direction of actors, the underrated qualities of Feast of July (a Merchant Ivory production!), and the ambitions of Bicentennial Man. Not to mention the incredible high-wire act by Davidtz's in her dual performance in that Chris Columbus sci-fi epic. There are reflections on working with B-Side friend and frequent guest Alessandro Nivola, the legacy of the Miss Honey character from Matilda, and the “trickery” involved in directing a child like Lexi Venter to an incredibly natural performance.

This week, we can't help but fall victim to la bella luna as Feb2ary Is For Lovers continues with a classic rom-com about how it's impossible not to cheat if you're Italian. It's 1987's Moonstruck, directed by Norman Jewison, written by John Patrick Shanley, and starring Cher, Nicolas Cage, Vincent Gardenia, Olympia Dukakis, Danny Aiello, Julie Bovasso and John Mahoney. The story of a young woman who accidentally falls in love with her fiancé's brother, the movie exudes charm at every turn -- so much so that this little rom-com took home three Oscars in '88, for Cher and Dukakis's performances as well as Original Screenplay for Shanley's script that is funny without being rife with straight-up jokes. There are rich characters here, beset by curses and fatal strains of bad luck, who get laughs not by mugging or ripping one-line zingers but by believing in the seriousness of their tragedies so completely. This is character-driven comedy of the highest order, grounded by the Canadian coziness that Jewison can't help but leave all over the film. Plus: J Mo's got theatrical field reports on both Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and Companion. If you'd like to watch the film before listening along to our discussion, it is one of the more widely available films we have ever covered as Moonstruck is currently streaming in Canada on Amazon Prime, Crave, Starz, Criterion Channel, Tubi and Hoopla at the time of publication. Other works discussed in this episode include Abigail, The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects, Identity, Trap, Fargo, The Wedding Singer, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning: Part One, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, Ocean's Eleven, L.A. Story, Paint, Napoleon Dynamite, ChiefsAholic: A Wolf in Chiefs Clothing, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, The Fabelmans, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Bicentennial Man, Bottoms and Punch-Drunk Love. Love Month continues next week with another VHS plucked from Hayley's collection as we'll be discussing 1996's Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise and Renee Zellweger, and will do our best not to get side-tracked discussing the Mission: Impossible franchise but can't promise we won't. Jerry Maguire is currently streaming north of the border on Crave, Starz and for free (with ads) on the CTV app. And of course we're closing out February with a rom-com canon selection, 10 Things I Hate About You. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are here for a bonus podcast to discuss Bicentennial Man for its 25th anniversary. Bicentennial Man is a science fiction comedy-drama directed by Chris Columbus and written by Nicholas Kazan. It is based on a novelette by Isaac Asimov, as well as a novel by Asimov and Robert Silverberg. It opened in theaters on December 17, 1999. The film follows Andrew, an immortal robot (Robin Williams) who first serves the Martin family in a futuristic 2005. Mr. Martin (Sam Neill), who determines that Andrew has human emotions and interests, guides his development. Later, Andrew decides to take on more human attributes, including synthetic skin and organs, with the aid of inventor Rupert Burns (Oliver Platt). Other characters include Mrs. Martin (Wendy Crewson), the Martins' daughter Amanda (Hallie Kate Eisenberg, Embeth Davidtz), and Amanda's granddaughter (also Davidtz). Bicentennial Man garnered mixed-to-negative reviews, and it bombed at the box office. Robin Williams was nominated for Worst Actor at the Razzies, though the movie was nominated for Best Makeup at the Oscars. Aaron and Josh talk about the first time they saw Bicentennial Man, its plot, characters, and themes. They also mention its deceptive marketing campaign and how the film stands out in today's movie landscape. For more science fiction, you can listen to Aaron and Josh's Twilight Zone podcast with guest Randy Allain. Bicentennial Man is available on Prime Video

Join us on a journey through the synthetic dreamscape of artificial intelligence, where we delve into how robots not just mimic life but seek to understand the human heart with our double feature: Bicentennial Man and A.I. Artificial Intelligence. Before exploring these narratives of manufactured souls and their quests for earned humanity, we're munching on a jar of digital cookies with our Blue Plate Special, chatting about Joaquin Phoenix's surprising departure from what sounded like a promising Todd Haynes project, reviewing new releases Trap and Cuckoo, and dissecting the trailer for the upcoming fall release Saturday Night. After logging out of these side discussions, we finally access the core of our episode, diving into Chris Columbus's messy yet heartwarming narrative alongside Spielberg's ethereal realization of a science fiction epic originally drafted by the late great Stanley Kubrick.

Celebrate the life and career of the late Robin Williams with us today on a day of remembrance following the date of his death on August 11, 2014. We're talking about Bicentennial Man (1999), the turn-of-the-century film that brings Issac Asimov's 1976 novel to the silver screen. The film follows Andrew, a NDR 114 model android who embarks on a 200 year journey towards becoming human. Carie is understandably endeared by the vulnerable performance of her favorite actor of all time, while simultaneously being annoyed with the pacing and often inelegant writing. Ross is digging his heels in on the hypothetical of robots naturally evolving through what Asimov called "the ghost in the machine," and the siblings accidentally uncover the fact that I, Robot (2004), and Home Alone (1990) occur in the same cinematic universe.

This week, Travis watched the 1999 Sci Fi film Bicentennial Man for the first time. Stargate Pioneer of the Legends of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Better Podcasting podcast is back to talk about it. Starring Robin Williams, Sam Neill, Embeth Davitz, and Oliver Platt; it is the story of an android over the course of his 200 year life. So, is it a slog at over 2 hours long? How does it feel to watch a movie about an artificial intellegence gaining humanity in 2023? Could anyone other than Robin Williams play this role? Let's find out...Thanks go out to Audie Norman (@TheAudieNorman) for the album art.
