The Weekly Stuff #210 – Star Wars Stuff, Movie News, and Blade Runner 2049 Review

After a week off, we have a whole lot of stuff to cover, from a bevy of interesting movie trailers – including Justice League and Star Wars: The Last Jedi – to Sean’s experiences with the Star Wars Battlefront II beta, to the horrific revelations about Hollywood mogul and serial sex predator Harvey Weinstein (like all parts of our lives these days, there’s a lot of tonal whiplash to this episode). And for our main topic, we cover one of the year’s most fascinating films, the 35-years-later sequel Blade Runner 2049. Sean and Jonathan don’t see eye-to-eye on every part of the film, but it still makes for a deep and engaging discussion about a movie that is absolutely worth talking about.
