Retronauts

561: Blade Runner

Ridley Scott's 1982 cyberpunk classic came into being as a total flop, yet managed to claw its way into our collective psyches as the definitive portrayal of a dark future that would shape all sci-fi (and reality) to follow. Over the past 40 years and multiple revisions, this former cult favorite has become a respected part of the canon, but does it truly deserve its lofty status? On this episode, join <a href="https://twitter.com/bobservo">Bob Mackey</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/Stupacabra">Stuart Gipp</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/ubersaurus">Kevin Bunch</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/hEnereyG">Henry Gilbert</a> as the crew dons their snazzy raincoats to explore the very wet and very influential world of Blade Runner. Turtles will be flipped!<br/>
