This is one of the movies that made me decide to choose this format for the podcast. Polarizing when it came out, thanks to an inferior theatrical cut, it released in the same month as other sci-fi gems like Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, The Thing and E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial. As time went on and additional cuts of the film were released, people went back to the sci-fi noir Blade Runner with deeper appreciation. It is now considered one of the greatest films ever made and it has made a significant impact on other films, video games and television series.Join me and Kevin for a spirited discussion praising this film and dumping on our modern hellscape's version of artificial intelligence. We discuss the theatrical cut with the awful narration and happy ending as well as the director's cut and the definitive Final Cut of the film.Blade Runner was directed by Ridley Scott and stars Harrison Ford, Ruger Hauer, Sean Young and Edward James Olmos.
