Listeners of TFTB could always use a little more Peter Watts. And because Neill Blomkamp's new film, Gran Turismo, opens this week -  here is the extended recording. The original release of this episode was 8/21/2021 We sit down with Hollywood Director, Producer, Writer and Animator, Neill Blomkamp, and Hard-Sci-fi author Peter Watts. For this grand meeting of the minds, we cover space vampires, human extinction, the justification for sentience, and discover how a little bit of solipsism can lead to murder. Make sure to check out Oats Studios, for great online content from Neill Blomkamp. Correction* Episode is not quite twice as long as the original edit.  You can always find more episodes on our website, you can also find us on Twitter and Facebook to see what is happening on The Bridge.
