Movie And A Beer Episode 178: Blade Runner 2049

On this AI driven episode of Movie And A Beer we review Blade Runner 2049, the sequel to the original 1982 film Blade Runner. We also sipped three beers along the way and briefly cover which went best. Denis Villeneuve brings to life the futuristic landscape of Replicants and humanity as they struggle to co-exist with "K" played by Ryan Gosling as the current day Blade Runner, hunting down his own kind. The story covers a broad range of questions about "What makes you human?" as the first movie did and even brings back Harrison Ford to reprise his role as the elder and now retired cop. We discuss in great length how AI/robots are portrayed in most Sci-Fi films and if this one provides a different perspective than the films of the past have.  Along with this great adventure, we enjoyed three beers that were selected based on their label design and names. First was a Festbier by Irrelevant Beer (WA), followed by a West Coast Pale Ale from TapRoom Brewing (CA) and we finished up with a West Coast IPA from ISM Brewing (CA). Give the episode a listen to hear about these great beers and hear some great answers from our AI friend that joined in the discussion.
