Alejandro Iñárritu, Steve Martin, & David Bowie
The director Alejandro González Iñárritu explains why filming “The Revenant” under punishing conditions made it the film that it is — a box office smash nominated for 12 Oscars. Also, we hear the story behind the stand-up album that made absurdist comedy mainstream: Steve Martin’s “A Wild and Crazy Guy.” And we say goodbye to the great David Bowie.
