2010: The Year We Make Contact (1984): 1 line

  1. unmapped (tip of the hat) · through Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), which they acted in: Close Encounters of the Third Kind ⇒ 2010: The Year We Make Contact (the host's read). Casting Balaban reads as a nod to Close Encounters; the speaker finds 2010 more in its shadow than 2001's.
    “And the Balaban casting feels like a real tip of the hat to that.”
