Blade Runner 2049.

Very few franchises find life after 35 years, but the early 21st century seems to be full of nostalgia and it's given filmmakers like Ridley Scott the opportunity to tell new stories (or pass them on to others to tell) in the universes they created so long ago.

In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by fellow Blade Runners Alice Baker and Michael Schindler to talk about Blade Runner 2049. We discuss continuing Blade Runner, ambiguity, replicants in everyday life, succession, sequel opportunities, love, a marrow, artificial everything, the cast, production and ratings.
