#139 - Blade Runner
Episode description
Did you know that 3 years ago, Los Angeles became a dystopian retrofuturistic hellscape? Well, neither did we! But this week, we review a film that takes place in this very version of Los Angeles - Namely Blade Runner! This film stars Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, and Edward James Olmos among others. Based on Philip K. Dick's 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?', this film follows Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who is tasked with finding rogue synthetic humans (also known as Replicants) who have escaped from a space colony and returned to earth. And of all places, they go to Los Angeles. This film explores religious, existential, and humanistic themes and raises a lot of questions for the viewer. We here at BIIG Production, however, are ultimately tasked with answering the ultimate question: But... Is Blade Runner Good?
