Episode Description from the Publisher

We complete our run through blades with “Blade Runner 2049,” a late sequel in which Ryan Gosling plays a replicant detective searching for an explosive secret that could change everything… and is unsurprisingly tied to characters from “Blade Runner.” We discuss why a replicant might need a holographic girlfriend, Jared Leto’s eyes, and once again, if Deckard is a replicant or not and why that really doesn’t matter. "Blade Runner 2049" Jason Snell with John Siracusa, Erika Ensign, Dan Moren and Monty Ashley Referenced Works Blade Runner 2049 Show Notes & Links Support this show and other shows like it on The Incomparable network by becoming a member.
