About this episode
Billy Corgan sits down with screen icon Malcolm McDowell for a masterclass on craft and legacy—from Lindsay Anderson’s “If” to becoming Stanley Kubrick’s Alex in “ A Clockwork Orange”. McDowell shares the real casting story, Kubrick’s process, why “ 2001” still stuns, and how a single “trance” look became an era-defining image. They dig into Shakespeare and Olivier lore, Eric Burdon, the redemption of “Caligula”, the charm of “ Time After Time” , and hard-won wisdom on dodging typecasting and surviving fame.
