3.09 Philip K. Dick's DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? (1968), Ridley Scott's BLADE RUNNER (1982), and Denis Velleneuve's BLADE RUNNER 2049 (2017)

Update: 2025-01-05

Description

Nathanael and Erik are rejoined by guest Carl Watts in this episode covering the celebrated novel, iconic film, and its more contemporary sequel. Our conversation today touches on ideas of belief and fraudulence and, in the spirit of PKD, questions of reality and ontology. In addition, as this is our annual holiday episode, we discuss why BLADE RUNNER 2049 is, in fact, a Christmas movie.

Show notes:
