I've seen things you people wouldn't believe, including Blade Runner, the final cut. Welcome to our series on the Filmic adaptations, and I want to stress Filmic. There will be no men in any high castles, but the Filmic adaptations of Philip K. Dick.
In a series we're calling... Oh no. There's something crude, I'm certain. Yeah, the Dick Boys or...
Filled up on Dick, right? Like, Philip? Yeah, filled up on Dick. The Dick in the High Castle.
Yeah. Okay. The Pod in the High Castle would have been... Oh, the Pod in the High Castle.
But where's the Hog? Yeah, where's the Hog of it all? Yeah, where's the crude reference to the Dick? Yeah.
I mean, we could simply call it Dickme. Yeah, I mean, I guess it is kind of just Dickme. Let's go with Dickme. We gotta go with Dickme.
Guys, welcome to Dickme. Welcome to Dickme. I am your host non-replicant, I should add. Dan, I am your other host.
Probably not a replicant, but maybe, might be. I don't know. I don't know. I caught you slagging on your Void comps.
I thought you cramming night before. What would I do if the turtle was on spec? I'm not turning it over. I don't know why.
Just a bunch of dead turtles are on your butt and trying to figure it out. Yeah, no pads with drawings of turtle. I'm like, I can't. How does it drop?
I think what to do. I'm just gonna have to shoot this guy in the window. Listen, it's Bill K. Dick.
We got 10 episodes of this thing. Oh, yeah. We're feeling good. We're starting off incredibly strong.
Feel familiar, doesn't it? Doesn't it? It doesn't feel like we've done this once before where it started to be incredibly strong. And then as the art of filmmaking is deteriorated over time, so too is the level of the discourse.
Yeah, the quality of film and then the discourse follows. I know that at least for this, start strong and end strong. Let's see what happens in the middle. What's the last picture?
Oh, sure, sure, of course. You've seen Blade Runner before, I'm sure. I have. Who knows which cut though?
Well, yeah. I mean, there are a million of these things. There are like five or six cuts. We watched the final cut.
The Ridley Scott approved final cut. This is how it should have been. And his approval means so much to me. Yeah.
I mean, I want the man's approval more than anything, more than my father's. Oh, by wide margin. By wide margin. Yeah.
And I tell my father that all the time. Your approval means nothing to me. Wow. The rare father not living up to son's expectations.
That's right. Damn. That fucking flipped the script on you, bitch. Yeah.
Actually, I think you had the makings of a varsity athlete in your potential. And we'll get into more fathers and sons. I mean, we're acting like we made that up, but that is the premise of death of a salesman, isn't it? Oh, yeah.
Like the sons are just like, yeah, the sons are pretty cool and it has a dead-second shit. Yeah. Might as well kill yourself for the life insurance, dad. Okay, biff.
Biff. Can we tell we're done with our Philip K. Dick series so we can do our, what's that guy's name? The guy who was briefly married to Death of a Sailing Monroe?
Yeah, Arthur Miller. Yeah. Miller Miller. Yeah.
Miller Miller run. It'll be some adaptation of that and then the crucible and that's it. Yeah. I think there's a death of a salesman movie with, let's say, Malkovich.
That could be fun. It could be. I think he's too tall. Too tall.
Yeah. Dustin Hoffman play Willie Loman like on Broadway at one point. Probably. I feel like everybody, you know.
Ah, to play Loman. To play Loman. That's a, to try the bull. They should stunt cast it.
They should stunt cast it with Lindsay Lohan as Willie Loman. Don't you think? Yep. No.
Good. Moving on to the matter at hand. Okay. 1982's Blade Runner.
Rob, just to confirm you had never seen this before. Oh, Dan, get out of town. I've seen what? I thought this was going to be the one I had on you.
No, I, and do you like it? Yeah, I do. It's fine. Okay.
Dan, this is honestly one of my favorite movies. As I was watching it before this episode, which I think I watched this like at least once a year, but watching it for this, I was like, all right, it's really like, like buckle down, pay attention to it. Cause I know it's, you know, I've seen so many times like it's like one of those things you put it on and you're like, oh, this is, I like this scene or whatever, but maybe you put it on the background and something like that. But this is, I was like, focus and I'm like, Jesus Christ, this is just fucking masterpiece.
Top to bottom. It really is just like every single shot is completely perfect. Yeah, every shot is one perfect shot. I want to get this out of the way right at the top.
Dan hates the score. I don't hate the score. I thought it was a little busy. You thought it was busy.
That's why I played that particular song at the top because Dan was like saxophone get out of here. They're playing a fucking piano and there's a song playing while they're playing the piano. Kind of like shooting yourself in the foot a little bit. Dan, I couldn't disagree more.
This was with me. Come on. My favorite scores of all time. I listen to this all the time.
I'm a little bit of an evangelist for this score, which is by evangelists. Or Vanjalys. Vanjalys is how I've heard it. Vanjalys, okay.
Okay. Yeah. The Greek freak. That's what I call him.
He is the Greek freak. Yeah, I've seen things you people believe, but I've also seen things you people believe. Yeah, things that are believable. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe and just starts describing.
A hot dog. Magic tricks. Yeah, yeah. Close up magic.
A guy holding a card, but then the card is gone. Yeah. A rabbit coming out of a hat. And then.
Where previously there was not. I've seen a man pull a card right out of the air. And just the most dramatic weightiest speech. All of that is lost to time like a dove disappearing under a handkerchief.
Time to die. Time to die. That's the sign off, by the way. Oh, yeah.
Time to die. Well. That. Oh man.
What a beautiful shows over replacement. Time to die. Yeah, we just walked right into that. Yeah.
Oh, good. See who final segment alert? Yeah, this is a wow. That is really good.
I'm right that down. Yeah. We should. I mean, who knows?
Maybe someone goes and searches Philip K Dick podcast on Apple music store and or Spotify or these days. Hey, these days it could be Spotify. It could even be Spotify these days. Maybe this your first time listening.
Well, the name is probably the giveaway. We started off by discussing every filmic and some televisionic adaptations of Stephen King works. Yeah. And we ran right through that over the course of what?
Ten years or something? Yeah, we breeze through it. Not a problem. Like no hang ups, pretty easy, peasy stuff.
Like there. And all type quality. We're like, oh, but we want something a little headier, a headier brew please. Now that we've conquered the master of horror, the master of horror, let's discuss the, you know, one of the guys of science fiction.
One of the sci-fi guys. One of the sci-fi guys, probably like the most adapted of the big sci-fi guys, right? He's got to be up there, I think. Like who else?
Like, you know, you got like re Bradbury. What he ever do? This fucking guy is fucking slouch. Shout out to Bradbury in this movie too.
Yeah, right. The Bradbury. They've got a couldn't have called it the dick. Well, that building.
I think that building. I don't know if it was always called the Bradbury building, but it is now as of today. Yes. Yes.
He just cut the ribbon. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's been the Bradbury building for a long time, but they've been putting off the opening for a while.
I've been in that building. Me too. In that building. Yeah.
It's a nice building. When I, last time I was in California, which was probably almost 10 years ago, it was a, your sister and my sister, when Emma lived out there. Only doxing my sister, interesting. Well, Lauren, my sister.
There we go. Also doxed. She's a, she's one of these coastal elites, you know, you know, are tight. Of course.
Drinking, always drinking her $10 mocha chocca. Mocha chocca kombucha lattes. Lattes. Mocha kombucha flavored kombucha.
Can we get that, please? I don't even know what kombucha tastes like. Right? It's all flavored.
What does a plain kombucha taste like? Give it to me straight. No chaser. Yeah.
It tastes like, it tastes a little bit like a fizzy vinegar. Yeah. Yeah. It's a carbonated apple cider vinegar.
It's what they've been selling everybody now. And that was a my new character, gut biome, Adam Corolla. Brand new character. The Bradbury building has been using so many movies because it's just, the inside of it is just unbelievable.
And it is a funny thing. Like you go to the outside of the building, looks like a regular building. Nothing special. I went with your sister when it was out there and she had to, you were like, oh fuck this.
I'm not going in. Normal ass building. Normal ass building. She's like Rob, please.
This is boring. We're just seeing a building. And then I'm- You fell asleep on the sidewalk, right? Yeah.
From looking at it. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
It was so fucking boring. I remember telling me about that. Oh my God. Look at that elevator.
The stairs. My goodness. All of this. I love that we could go up.
So Blade Runner. Dan. This. And we kind of talked, I think we did it on Mike, we kind of talked some shit about Ridley Scott and how like only about half of his movies are good at the other half or like whatever.
Not this one. Not this one. It's crazy. Like it's crazy that like the man made like some unbelievable movies at the top of his career.
And you know, throughout he made some unbelievable movies. But like made this and then like, you know, basically tried to do the same thing in the fantasy genre with legend, the Tom Cruise fantasy movie. Also where what's his name is a big red devil. Yes.
Tim Curry is a big red devil. Commendable for that alone. Yeah. Being like the devil, he's going to be red.
Yeah. I mean, he's no pitchfork though. This isn't a kids movie. Let's be serious.
Yeah. That I mean, I haven't seen that movie in a while, but I remember liking that movie just for what it was just like this like really sort of big production fantasy movie. And Tim Curry under just, I don't know, hundreds of pounds worth of prosthetics and makeup and whatnot. And I heard a story where like the only thing left that was not covered up were his eyes and then they were like, put contacts in his eyes.
Get him out of here. Oh, man. That's my Tim Curry. Yeah.
Oh, man. Oh, man. Rats. Dan, are you a replicant?
Do we even don't do this now? You should have asked me this before we start recording. I'm not even going to dignify that with an answer. I was invited by Ridley Scott written by Hampton Fancher and David Webb People's.
The Prolific Hampton Fancher. Yeah, a guy who's written exactly no other notable movies. Really? He has a writing credit on 2049, but I do wonder if that's just definitely just the Carrie over thing.
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Dan. This guy's been— Oh, sorry.
Go on. I mean, as I was gonna say, this guy's been writing scripts since freakin'—how long ago? No, sorry. I'm looking at his Wikipedia filmography, which just lists acting credits and writing credits in one long list, which is not helpful.
No, not at all. But he did have some bit rolls and some stuff he'd never heard of. Yeah, a lot of stuff for 50, 80s. Yeah, 60s and shit.
He also, he wrote and directed The Minus Man, which I have not seen, but it has one of the craziest trailers ever. It's a famously crazy trailer. Yes. You may have even seen the trailer, not connecting it to the movie, just as a separate thing as like, this is the fucking craziest thing.
It shows nothing. The whole trailer is just a couple. They go to see The Minus Man, and they're talking afterwards, and they're like, you know, they're on date or whatever, so they go like, they go coffee shop, they go to a bar, they bounce around, and they're constantly like talking about, what was he doing with that? And blah, blah, blah, and all this, right?
And they talk so long that, you know, the whole night passes by, and the sun starts coming up, right? And the woman is like, oh my God, she looks at her watch and runs away from a date. Doesn't say goodbye, doesn't say anything. It just takes off, running away from this guy, gets to a building, a front desk, checks in, changes into like a life-guarding bathing suit, swimsuit, you know?
And then gets to the pool, where she is supposed to be life-guarding, and there are two dead bodies floating in the pool, because she wasn't there to save them. Wait, really? Yeah, and this is the trailer. Yeah, this is the trailer.
No footage from the movie. No footage from the movie. They shot like a completely different thing, and they're like, and then something like a voice, or whatever comes up, and it's just like, you know, when you see The Minus Man, you know, two people will die. Yeah, it was something like, you know, you will be talking about The Minus Man.
When I'm talking about Chris, society will crumble if enough people go see this movie. Air traffic controller, planes exploding in the sky. Which, for a movie that's like a 6.0 on IMDb. That is fascinating.
Hell of a cast in this thing, though. In The Minus Man. You got Owen Wilson, I know it's Janine Garafolo. You got Dwight Yocum and Cheryl Crow.
Whoa, yeah. Let's real heavy hitters have a different thing. Wasn't Janine Garafolo, maybe I'm making that up, maybe that's something? Oh no, she's in it too, yeah.
Mercedes rule, the mom from big, ever heard of it? No, all right. I'll tell you what, you sound like a Brady, Hearts Hearts felt when you say that, ladies name. Mercedes rules.
Yeah. Mercedes rules. All right. So, yes, that's a little bit about Hampton Fancher, a name that just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
You really gotta think about it. An easy name to say and remember. And David Peoples, who's got some more, the Lady Hawk, hertiver. She's a hawk, but also a bit of a lady.
And he's got a co-writing credit on 12 Monkeys. All right. So, not exactly lightweight. Not exactly lightweight.
It is weird though, for both of them to have written this and then no real legacy to that. Sure, yeah, yeah. Besides a trailer, which features no footage from the movie and two people drowning a pool. Yeah, and to my knowledge, neither one of you know, Hampton Fancher did not write the trailer, so I can't speak to that.
Do you think it would be, what do you think it would cost to get the rights to that commercial as like an intellectual property where you could make like a feature about the lifeguard character? Like a drama about, oh, two people died on my watch. I wanna buy the rights to this commercial. So I can expand this out to a movie.
Yeah, just to like prove a point about how off base it was. Like, yeah. Enough about the minus men. We're not here to talk minus men.
No, this isn't the minus men. No. Which would be a great idea for a one off. Sure.
The minus men is built right in. Built in. No, this is dick me. This is dick me.
We're talking about Blade Runner as we have in the whole time. Do you happen to know who's in this thing? Oh my God. Dude, some of the names I recognize here.
Other names and that's so much. Shh. Well, you got Harrison Ford, and this is like, Jesus Christ, what a fucking stud this guy was. Primo Ford, yeah, holy shit.
Harrison Ford, I don't know. Like, I know he's a curmudgeon and all of this, but he, like, especially in the early stuff, the, you know, even like some of the dramas and whatever from the 80s, the guy just has the goods, man. He is like so interesting to watch. And like what he's doing, like from an acting standpoint, and like the vulnerability for like a guy in every interview that you see him.
And it's who's just like, I don't give a fuck about anything. I hate acting. I hate you. This is stupid.
You're stupid. Everything's dumb. And then you watch this and you're like, man, it's got range. I don't know what this duality in him is, but he has to take it, take down his career so bad.
So bad, but yeah. Yeah, I mean, I gotta say like, there's not like a ton in the writing of that character. Like he's doing most of the work. Yes.
Now granted, everybody brings so much to this. It's not in the writing, which sort of explains the trajectory of Hampton, and Fancher and David Webb peoples. Yeah. But for example, Rucker Howard, he's doing a little something, huh?
I mean, yeah, this guy just like, for most of the movies, just walking around in this like big ass leather trench coat with like his hands in his pockets or like behind his back or whatever. Yeah. And he's just like, you know, you can't, you can't make out like how like physically like muscular he is, right? Until the end when he strips down to his boxers and he's like, that's it.
Right. And he's doing like, I love to just like the, the physicality of the way he's just like sort of like ballet running through the building also. Yes. It's like, yeah, it's a bit dance.
It's a bit animalistic. I love him. In the same vein, Daryl Hannah as Prist, very sort of your basic pleasure model. Yeah.
He's really underselling it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, Prist, amazing. You know, the agility also, like Daryl Hannah, can you do gymnastics? Yes, I do. Correct.
That's actually her doing all that. I mean, the back bends and like, I don't know if it's her doing all of the flips. OK. But she's doing some of them for sure.
Pretty good. Good for her. There's that one shot where Prist and Roy are at Sebastian's. And it's right before they ask for his help getting to Tyrell.
Oh, she does that like cartwheel thing in the background? Yeah, she does. He's like impressed by there being so perfect or whatever. And he's like, show me something.
And then she hugs him from behind. And then let's go. And then just does like this full back bend flip. And then like, sticks her hand in boiling water or whatever.
But and she really did that too. Yeah. She really. Yeah.
We've got Sean Young. Dance. What about Sean Young? What about her?
What do you think? Fine. She is. It's fine.
Too fine, if you ask me. Wow. Yeah. I mean, when she lets down the hair, the way her big hair frames her face is.
And the way they use it too, I think it's at the end that shot of her when they're like quote unquote about to escape. And it's like her in the huge coat with the hair in the darkness. And all you see is just the coat and her face floating above it. Incredible.
Incredible stuff. Incredible stuff. I know. Mighty fine performance.
That scene like the weird. Kiss me. Yeah, the Kiss me scene. Yeah.
And I can't stress this enough. Not cool. Not cool. And our show is called Dick Me.
Not Kiss Me. Go on. But we say it like that. Yeah.
Dick Me. We say, say Dick Me. Say Dick Me. Yeah.
I mean, she's like incredible in that scene. Again, it's like a it's not, you know, like Baddie and Chris, those are like such big characters. And the way she's doing this like understated thing in contrast to them, it really like goes a long way toward like, you know, enriching thematically the sort of like the blurry line between the. Yeah.
I mean, I think it's kind of one of the humans in Androids, the blurry line. Oh, sure. No, I think it's one of the most impressive things about this movie is that it's like 100% a sci-fi movie, right? And visually and like thematically and all the stuff, it's dealing with like huge sort of ideas.
The scales are big. It's, you know, we get these like huge sweeping scenes of like the city and all of this, like all of these like pyramids that billionaires have been living in and working out of them, I guess, you know, whatever. But absolutely calling, calling the future, calling that, yeah, pointing out to the fucking stands and being like, that's what it's going to look like, baby. But with all of that, I still feel like this is one of those movies where like, it's not a, it's not Star Wars or something where Star Wars is like an action adventure sci-fi.
This is like a sci-fi drama. Yeah, I mean, it's a sci-fi noir, which brings me to like my, my hot take of the week. You're great with the music? No, no, no.
Okay. Just a hot take, a big theory. Yeah. There is no genre called sci-fi.
What the fuck did he just do? Oh, my. All right. Shut it down.
Shut it all down. They're just site. You can have sci-fi elements in other genres. Yeah.
Right. Yeah. Like the sci-fi noir, like fucking Doom, that's just an epic, bro. Yeah.
You know, like even horror movies, it's kind of the same thing, right? Like you're, you're dealing with like, maybe not, I don't know. Maybe Dan, maybe Dan's right. Maybe Dan's right.
Something to think about. And if anyone has like counter examples, maybe you could say more so in like, like, fiction writing, there's more of a sci-fi genre. Yeah. You're Ursula K.
Laguins, like that type of shit. Maybe that doesn't fit. So neatly, my little boxes, my little reductive boxes. Yes.
Is it because I guess the sci-fi have to be paired with something else with another genre? It's sci-fi just sort of the packaging that that the story is told in. That's kind of kind of how I feel. Yeah.
Yeah. It's just the way it's presented and then like you, you know, story elements and all and all that. Right. Yeah.
Yeah. Interesting. Hard sci-fi, like the three body problem, that type of shit. Maybe then you get in, maybe then you're like, all right, that's sci-fi, baby.
But isn't that like a murder mystery or something? I know nothing about it. No, it does sound like it, but it's not. It's about like intergalactic war with psychic aliens.
Oh, Jesus Christ. They raid your mind palace. They knock all the papers around. They shuffle up your mind palace.
Yeah. They piss on the floor of your mind palace. So yeah, it's in war. It's a drama, but also it's about robots.
It is. Who else is in this? We got Edward James, almost as another detective. He's like, he's just like a, yeah, you have what's it?
He am at Walsh as Bryant, who Bryant is not a police chief, but he's some sort of lieutenant or something. In the book, I do think he is a lieutenant. I think that's a thing. And like, and a Gaff, Edward James, almost Gaff works for Bryant as like a, I don't know.
He works under him. He does all the shit. Yeah. I mean, Gaff is basically just like hanging in the background the whole time, just making sure all this shit happens.
Yeah. Yeah. It's not totally clear. I mean, like Deckard, when the movie starts, Harrison Ford, Rick Deckard, he has quit his job already.
Right. It's a bit of a, I told you, I'm out. Yes. Yeah, yeah.
So there's that. I think it's different in the movie, right? He's just like a contract killer in this. So he's he is a Blade Runner, right?
But like that Blade Runner, to me, it seemed like a title or a division or a task force kind of thing. Right. Yeah. Cause he calls in to the police station at one point and he says like Blade Runner and then gives us like a number.
Right. Yeah. There's that scene where he's outside the Bradbury building and the cop like there's a cop that like floats in and he's like, Hey, what are you doing around here? And he's like, well, I'm working.
And there's like a little back and forth there. And man, so a couple of things here. I don't want to talk too much about the book because it's not that kind of show. Right.
We don't. It's not an egg head program. No, no, we don't. And we don't, you know, we talk about movies by authors, but we try to, you know, we don't, we don't read these books.
It's irrelevant. It's irrelevant. It's irrelevant. But two things.
First of all, Blade Runner is like a term invented for the movie. And I love it. I just think it's like what I love about it is that they clearly were just like, that sounds sick as hell. Yeah.
Let's call them Blade Runner. It's like, right. There's nothing in the book that there's no two words never appear side by side in any context. There's no reference to Blades.
It's all laser guns and shit. Second of all, that's that thing with the other with like the beat cop or whatever. That in the book, I did like this. It spirals into this whole situation where like Deckard basically gets like kidnapped by the androids who run like a fake police station off the grid to like basically as a trap for the bounty hunters.
Wow. Yeah, it's pretty fun. That is pretty fun. Yeah.
But makes no sense to do here. There's enough going on. They had to recut this movie 15 times. Yes.
Yes. Yes. Yeah. That's I guess that's kind of the little, you know, we're talking about like the performances a little bit, right?
And how like some of them are very big and some of them are under state or whatever. But it does seem like the actors and really, you know, really Scott, whatever had a lot of they had a lot of work to do as far as like fleshing all of this out. Yeah. You know, it's not it's not really doesn't seem to be there in on the page or whatever.
Totally. Especially like even like even the relationship between like Roy and Priss where like Roy walks in to the Sebastian's and like kisses, Priss, they like immediately like kiss or whatever, but you're like, but they're not like together or whatever. Like they don't seem like they are. You know, it just seems like, you know, they're, I don't know, it's that seems like an added thing just like sort of in the moment, you know, right?
Even the fucking the final speech by Roy, the thing is totally improvised, right? Yeah. He came up with that like on the set and like, and they were like, Oh, this is brilliant. And it's going to live on forever again, like a real, a real blow to the screenwriters.
Yeah. They didn't even come up with that. You didn't even come up with the best lines on the channel. Because like really, it's like, what's another line you remember from this?
Yeah. I mean, like, it is definitely the most memorable, you know, bits, like I'm going to the, the, the quotes section of the IMDB page for this film. And it's just that line in 72 point font. That's weird.
They don't do that for like any other movie. Let's see. I would imagine wake up time to die. It might be in there.
Yeah. That's pretty solid line. Wake up time to die. That's cool.
That's pretty fucking cool. That's cool. That's a pretty fucking hard thing to say to somebody before you're about to ice them. You know, if we, we could do a chop.
We'll sue for this. Okay. We got it. Wake up time to die in person will wear their makeup.
First of all, airbrush on her makeup. Lulule count the syllables. Yeah. Yeah.
And extra beat. That could be cool. Yeah. Yeah.
Um, who else is in this? You got, uh, we said, what about William Sanderson? Uh, Sebastian, uh, as the 25 year old Sebastian. Bit of a bit of a bend button, eh?
I'm 25, but I'm a lot older. Yeah. He's got, he, it's not Projeria, but it's something similar to the Projeria where his glen, he says his glen age. It's called like, it's called like Methuselah syndrome.
I don't know if it's real, but that's what they say in the movie. Man, we can't, you ever notice how all of our favorite movies have characters from, uh, deadwood in them? William Sanderson, the incomparable E.B. Farnham, the mayor of deadwood.
He's absolutely all about to lead back to deadwood. Isn't that? I'm telling you. Yeah.
I'm telling you, um, our favorite movies, by the way, are this and the needful things directors. Yeah. Who else? Brian James as Leon.
Um, are you sure it's not? I mean, his name is spelled B-R-I-O-N. Are you sure it's not pronounced Leon? Oh, I think they say Leon in the movie.
Dan. Oh, okay. Um, honch, no, uh, not honch. James Hong, um, as chew, as chew, the man who makes eyeballs.
Um, and then, uh, Joe, uh, Joe, uh, now what about him? Joe, Turkle is a king alum. All right. We're not going to be doing this the whole time, but Turkle, Turkle is daddy.
Um, he was the bartender in the shining who was like, uh, you know, he plays fucking Lloyd. Lloyd. Yeah. For example, for example, I think that is fair game.
We're not going to do that the whole time, but the shining transcends the premise of King Me. Oh, yeah. Because it's the fucking shine in babe. Babe, please.
Uh, so do we need to do people? Do you want to go? We're going through this beat by beat. I wish it, I guess we should.
We should. I mean, we should hit the big beats. The big beats. Let's hit them.
Yeah. The one. The one in the three, what about the two and white boy style? White boy style.
You want to? Yeah. I'm on, I'm on ones and threes. Do you want to do ones and threes white boy style or two and four corked up white boy style?
We can only be ourselves. That's the thing. Um, no, it, there's like a chiron that runs at the very beginning, you know, establishing the world, um, explains how the Tyrell corporation has manufactured the Nexus six generation of androids. These are like slave androids that they sent off world to, you know, mining colonies and, uh, you know, all kinds of, yeah, just like shitty stuff like that.
Just like they have working class. Yeah. Well, I guess slaves not working class. Well, I mean, slave, what's the difference at this point right?
These days. Oh, forget it. Forget it. Um, Dan, did you know that this world is connected to the alien world, the really Scott alien world as well?
I did not know that is connected through the corporation. It's connected through the corporation and like the androids. Um, and yet they have red blood. What do you make of that?
Um, I don't know. I mean, there's your little theory, I suppose besides the fact that this movie takes place in 2019 and I think all of those movies are like 21 or 22 something hundreds of years in the future. Maybe, maybe milk blood is. Oh, yeah.
They improved on blood. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
They made it better. We made it up white blood. Yeah. Um, so yeah, and there was, you know, it's established that there was a, uh, some sort of a, uh, mutiny on one of the, these planets and six of these nexus six androids escaped.
We find out that two of them, uh, that they tried to get into the, the Tyrell building and two of them were killed, uh, there. And then the other four escaped. Um, I never really thought about this before, Dan, but do you think that those two that died actually died and are not deckered and racial? Oh, I, and this, this is totally like hairbrained and I'm like kind of coming up.
There's like, yeah, there's nothing in the text. Right. There's a suggestive. Yeah.
Yeah. But like it was something I was thinking about this time around with like that's, that's kind of strange to have like, okay, six of them got six of them escaped. Two of them died already, like trying to get into the building, which we never see that. We don't see pictures of them.
We don't see anything of these other two. We're only focused on the four that've made it out. Right. And if it could say, uh, they're like, detain them, I mean, why are them kind of thing could be.
I mean, there's like, I mean, there is the, the moment in the scene where baddie kills Tyrell, where he's like Tyrell is like asking him if he's here because he wants like modifications or something. Like it's, it does kind of seem like this happens from time to time and we have ways of dealing with it. Yeah. Totally.
Yeah. Um, yeah, I like that. It's, it's, I don't know. It's a possibility.
The, the, uh, I think it's worth noting also then that, uh, Gaff Edward James, almost almost allows them to go on, you know, at the end of go. Yeah. Yeah. Like at any point, you know, why else would he just be like popping up periodically to make sure things are on the rails?
