On one of the earliest episodes of Talking Movies, Brian and Chris discussed Blade Runner, a much-loved film that neither one of them had seen before — and neither one of them thought was particularly great. With the long-awaited sequel on the horizon, and with replicant-loving co-host Nick on board this time around, the guys decided to give Ridley Scott’s wildly influential sci-fi effort another shot.
Along with all the other questions the film raises, they deal with a really huge one: does this movie really get better the second time around? Find out that, plus: Chris — who spent the last few weeks dodging hurricanes — finally gets to weigh in on the horror blockbuster It, Nick unsuccessfully tries to sell Chris and Brian on the insanity of Tommy Wiseau’s The Room, and Brian checks out a nearly forgotten but entirely awesome film from Guardians of the Galaxy mastermind James Gunn.
Join us as we plunge into the far-flung future of 2019 and consider what it means to be more human than human.
