NEWS UPDATE | Blade Runner 2099 & San Diego Comic Con
In this episode, Patrick and Jaime discuss the news that Blade Runner 2099 will have a Hall H presence at this year's San Diego Comic Con. In what is some surprising news, it looks like 2099 just might be released by late last quarter of this year. Join us as we discuss what we know, the ongoing silence from Amazon and just what we might see on July 24th. / For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.bladerunnerpodcast.com // If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Fields of Calantha. // To support the show, please consider visiting www.bladerunnerpodcast.com/support.

176 // Where Is Blade Runner 2099?
First, an apology: we have been pretty quiet for the past couple of months. We are going to switch to an every-other-month schedule for the time being, as we want to keep the show as fresh as possible. That's been a little difficult lately, given the absolute paucity of information on Blade Runner 2099. In today's episode, Jaime and Patrick discuss the current situation and compare it to other promotional cycles. We will go back to monthly (and likely biweekly) episodes again soon, but until then we will see you every other month. Thanks for sticking with us! Once 2099 is more clearly on the horizon, we will have a very exciting time in fandom. We're looking very forward to that. / For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.bladerunnerpodcast.com // If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Fields of Calantha. // To support the show, please consider visiting www.bladerunnerpodcast.com/support.

175 // Empathy Tests and the Police State
In this episode, Jaime, Patrick and Micah discuss what's happening in our world through the lens of the Blade Runner films. This conversation proved to be riveting, sobering and challenging. We try our best to serve author Philip K. Dick's intentions when he wrote Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. We discuss everything from why a system would develop a version of people without empathy to how immigrants are similar to Replicants. This show touches on a lot of hot button topics and it's not for everyone. If you're looking for pure escapism and entertainment, this would not be the episode for you. // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.bladerunnerpodcast.com // If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Fields of Calantha. // To support the show, please consider visiting www.bladerunnerpodcast.com/support.

174 // Anatomy Of A Scene | Officer K's Memory
In our first episode of 2026, we return to one of Blade Runner 2049’s most quietly devastating moments: K’s memory of the Morricole orphanage, and what that memory actually means within the larger story at play. On the surface, we’re watching a synthetic being (whatever a Replicant ultimately is) recount a memory he knows to be false to his superior officer. But this retelling doesn’t happen freely. It happens under pressure. Under surveillance. Under the constant threat of erasure. And in that moment, the scene crystallizes something essential about K’s existence: the psychic cost of obedience in a world governed by deeply unhappy, emotionally stunted humans. What begins as a test of authenticity becomes something far more unsettling. A performance of belief. A ritual of submission. A reminder that even false memories can carry real emotional weight and that belief itself may be more dangerous than truth. In this discussion, we peel back the layers of that scene and uncover implications that reach far beyond the orphanage. We talk about memory as control, trauma as programming, and why Blade Runner 2049 insists that meaning doesn’t come from whether something is “real,” but from how it changes the one who carries it. This conversation surprised us. It took us places we hadn’t anticipated, and it reshaped how we understand K, Wallace’s world, and the fragile boundary between human suffering and manufactured experience. We hope you enjoy the discussion, and as always, thank you for listening. // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.bladerunnerpodcast.com // If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Fields of Calantha. // To support the show, please consider visiting www.bladerunnerpodcast.com/support.

173 // Blade Runner and Loneliness
We often talk about a "loneliness epidemic" in modern society. We're more connected than we've ever been, and yet we're feeling more isolated from one another. Blade Runner, for all of its vibrant street life and urban density, has a profound undercurrent of loneliness. In today's episode, Jaime, Patrick, Peter, and Micah are joined by returning guest Dom for a discussion about loneliness in the world of Blade Runner, and how it reflects some of the loneliness we are seeing in the real world around us all. We wish you a happy and healthy close to 2025, and we'll see you in 2026! // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.bladerunnerpodcast.com // If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Fields of Calantha. // To support the show, please consider visiting www.bladerunnerpodcast.com/support.

172 // JOI In the Age of Artificial Intelligence
We are getting this episode out later than planned, but it is a special one and worth the wait. As humanity tries to understand the rise of artificial intelligence, Patrick and I sit down with our contributing hosts Peter from the Midwest and Micah Greene to talk about JOI in the time of AI. AI is here in every corner of our lives now, from ChatGPT to large language systems to the generative engines reshaping art and communication. With this new reality around us, how does JOI read today. Does she feel different? Does she come across as something more troubling or more harmless? Has the world changed enough that her presence in the Blade Runner universe means something new. We explore all of it in this episode. We hope you enjoy the conversation. // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.bladerunnerpodcast.com // If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Fields of Calantha. // To support the show, please consider visiting www.bladerunnerpodcast.com/support.

171 // Blade Runner 2099 // A Virtual Set Tour
In this episode, Patrick and Jaime open the vault and take you behind the curtain of Blade Runner 2099. Fresh from their virtual set visit, they walk you through an array of exclusive behind-the-scenes imagery, offering a rare glimpse into the making of Amazon’s long-awaited series. Rumors suggest that 2099 returns to the haunting beauty and texture of Ridley Scott’s 1982 masterpiece , but how true are those claims? Your hosts dive into the details: the architecture, the props, the atmosphere, and the spirit of what they’ve seen. Are we truly stepping back into the neon-soaked dream of the original film, or are we witnessing a new world take shape? Settle in and enjoy this one. It was an extraordinary experience for us, and we’re thrilled to finally share it with you. * A correction: Drew Struzan was the creator of the Final Cut poster, not the original. That one was by John Alvin. // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.bladerunnerpodcast.com // If you'd like to join the conversation, find us on our closed Facebook group: Fields of Calantha. // To support the show, please consider visiting www.bladerunnerpodcast.com/support.
