181. Blade Runner 2049

from Shot/Reverse Shot Hosted by Shot/Reverse Shot

The long-gestating sequel to Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic Blade Runner hit theatres this week to glowing reviews and disappointing box office. As two recently converted Blade Runner skeptics, Matt and Ed talk about Denis Villeneuve's Blade Runner 2049, an ambitious movie which, like its predecessor, raises a lot of questions: Was Deckard a replicant? How much does it owe to the work of Andrei Tarkovsky? And is Jared Leto "perfectly tolerable" in this movie? They also discuss the fallout of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, the spectacularly dumb Rick and Morty/Szechuan sauce farrago, and whether Jessica Williams joining the cast of the Fantastic Beasts... sequel could possibly balance out the Eddie Redmayne-shaped void at the heart of that franchise. 00:00:00 - 00:01:47 - Intro 00:01:48 - 00:35:11 - News 00:35:12 - 01:26:41 - Matt & Ed talk about Blade Runner 2049 (Spoilers abound!) 01:26:42 - 01:33:44 - SRS Recommends & Outro
