Episode description
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
We've taken Abi's Philip K Dick obsession to the main episodes. This one is a philosophical journey through our concept of humanity and we are so here for K's journey. Freda compares babies to plants, Abi is 32% replicant and nobody knows what it means to be conscious! We loved this movie and this chat is one of our finest, if we do say so ourselves.
