The Blade Runner Minute Podcast

[/audio We’re back! Pete’s already drunk! We’re talking about Blade Runner Blackout 2022, a prologue short set between Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049.

We talk about Alan E Nourse’s book The Blade Runner. We pussyfoot around the global healthcare situation and basically agree that while all life is precious, not all carbs are. Enjoy.

We talk about IG-11. Then we talk about more star wars droids. The conversation goes off the rails fast and stays off. Enjoy!

Pete and Sandra are talking about famous and favorite or what they think are “important” robots, cyborgs, AI, etc from movies and literature. This is the first of many episodes to come, covering this topic. Remember, If you can’t hold someone to your bosom, it becomes increasingly difficult for Pete to consider you a “person”.

Gaff’s final message, Deckard and Rachael are free, and we stumble all over our brains trying to explain it all to ourselves.

Deckard and Rachael are running off, Deckard notices Rachael stepped on something in the hallway, and Sandra smacks the shit out of Pete.

What’s under the sheet? What’s the best kind of love? How long will it take before we’re a youtube sensation?

Deckard races home for Rachael, Pete finally understands Ghostbusters, our friend Adam joins us for about six seconds, and then we simply get hungry and just stop the episode dead in it’s tracks.

A final farewell to Roy Batty, Gaff has a cryptic message for Deckard, and Pete Loses all of his wrestling street cred.

We talk about minutes 107 and 108 in this double-Deckard episode. After losing Rutger Hauer this week, we wouldn’t dream of splitting up this monologue.

The chase is officially over, Roy has Deckard at his mercy, and Deckard literally spits in the face of death. We miss Rutger Hauer already. What a wonderful, selfless, and shining star of a human being.

Deckard falls short, Roy catches up, and this is what it sounds like…when doves cry.

Deckard climbs to safety, a short history of TDK, and Roy will have no truck with running away.

Deckard climbs for his life, Roy clings to what life he has left, and the New York Dept of education tries to ruin our children’s lives.

Deckard fights back! Roy tries to talk it out, and the details of the world of Blade Runner shine as we travel outside.

Roy suffers for the sins of all replicant-kind, Deckard doesn’t seem up to this challenge, and the fanciest damn soap dish I’ve ever seen!

Roy’s closing in, Deckard heads for high ground, and Eldon Tyrell’s unwanted gift to Replicant-kind is upon the prodigal son.

Deckard is trying to escape the bradbury in one piece, Roy is having fun on the hunt, and audacity fails me once again(You may notice a few weird edits in this one).

Deckard is looking for a good hiding spot, Roy says goodbye to Pris one last time, and My neighbor’s air conditioner is dripping on my air conditioner through the entire episode!

Roy exacts some revenge, Deckard needs to learn self-defense, and the great chase begins!

Roy kisses Pris one last time, Deckard attempts an ambush, and atmosphere is masterfully executed in minute 96.

Roy returns to JF’s, Deckard attempts to get the drop on him, and Pris is a destroyed, bloody mess.

Deckard takes another beating, Pris underestimates her opponent, and a discussion on the romance that could have been.

Deckard investigates JF’s apartment, bow ties are cool, and Pris springs her trap.

Deckard approaches JF’s apartment, Kaiser is a fraud, and Pris is blending in.

Colors mean something, music means something, and I decided to leave in a motorcycle gang that passed by while we were recording….don’t know why exactly.

Deckard is walking into the lion’s den, Pris is playing dress-up, and we hear a beautiful piece of instrumentation.

Public safety, vidphon etiquette, and vandalism!

Bryant fills Deckard in on a sad bit of news, the locals are out and about, and the LAPD is keeping the city safe.

Roy destroys God, Sebastian runs away, and the stars call Roy home.

Roy accepts his fate, decides Tyrell’s, and (crunch).

Roy offers some life-extending suggestions, Tyrell is being difficult, and JF hides behind some candles.

JF serves his purpose, Roy comes home, and the tension is delicious.

Roy pulls the strings, Tyrell’s kingdom begins to crumble, and JF brings an uninvited guest.

A golden god, the chess set conundrum, and friendship!

Roy shares one last devious look with Pris before he and JF visit Dr Tyrell, we return to the unbelievably gorgeous model work in Blade Runner, and Joseph Turkel is mesmerizing.

J.F. is too nice for his own good, Pris is getting hotter and hotter in Pete’s opinion, and Roy is a master manipulator.

Pris serves J.F. breakfast, Roy tugs on J.F.’s heart strings, and Dr Tyrell has an admirer in J.F..

Sebastian is fascinated, Roy is insulted, and Pris is determined to impress.

Bear makes a new friend, Pris plays with herself, and Roy challenges the flock.

Roy makes himself at home, Sebastian makes breakfast, and they’re stupid and they’ll die.

JF opens up to Pris, a friendship is formed, and Roy is back!

Foreshadowing of Pris’s combat style, Kaiser is terrified, and JF’s toys fill the screen.

We continue our discussion about how Deckard treats Rachael and then we move on to fun sci-fi stuff. You know how it goes.

Things go a bit too far in minute 72. The spiciest of meatballs.

Rachael just wants to play the piano and figure things out but, Deckard insists on sexy time. Like a jerk.

Rachael lets her hair down, Deckard’s reflexes are top notch when it comes to booze, and Sean Young is too gorgeous for words.

Rachael looks at Deckard’s photo collection, plays his piano, and wakes him up from his nap.

Deckard ducks some huge questions, falls asleep with a full shot glass on his chest, and Rachael continues to be stunning in every way possible.
