Ridley Scott revives film noir into the sci fi genre, with Blade Runner, bringing us a tale of technocratic dominance vs. transhumanism. Jay Dyer and Jay Weidner unveil of a world where corporate globalism has run rampant, giving rise to a synthetic dystopia. Simulated perfection in this purgatory is found with Replicants - artificially intelligent beings seeking to transcend limitations imposed upon them. In the end, throughout all the turmoil, these synthetic humans may herald a new expression of humanity and benevolence.

You might be familiar with cyberpunk, the dystopian science fiction subgenre popularized by William Gibson's NEUROMANCER and Ridley Scott's BLADE RUNNER. You also might be familiar with steampunk, a science fiction subgenre known for its obsession with goggles. But have you heard of solarpunk? Solarpunk, unlike cyberpunk, is a much more optimistic view of the future, a concept that might be completely alien to anyone currently surviving 2020. This week, Father Chuck is joined by Father Fun as they talk about the little known subgenre, and what properties could constitute as solarpunk.

Rutger Hauer: Like Tears in Rain (January 23, 1944 - July 19, 2019) On this week's episode of WatchThis W/RickRamos, Ibrahim & I sit down to discuss the career of Rutger Hauer who passed away this past week at the age of 75. Hauer began his professional acting career in 1969 under the guidance of fellow Dutchman, Paul Verhoeven, for a television movie. Hauer would work again with Verhoeven in his film debut Turkish Delight (1973). From this point Hauer continued in a series of European films until his American debut alongside Sylvester Stallone and Billy Dee Williams, as an international terrorist establishing himself in New York City in the gripping police-terrorist, cat & mouse game, 1981's Nighthawks. We also discuss starring roles, including The Hitcher from 1986 and Wanted: Dead or Alive from 1987. However, all of this is a prelude to his crowning achievement, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. Blade Runner, a brilliant film, propelled by an incredible Hauer performance. We loved sitting down and examiniing this performance and remembering this incredible actor.  Take a listen and let us know what you think. Questions, Comments, Complaints, & Suggestions can be directed to gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many Thanks. 

This week, Matt runs a Voight-Kampf test on Adam to dissect his thoughts on Blade Runner. Will Adam survive?! Listen on as Adam and Matt scurry down the darkened, dripping alleyway that is Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, unsure of what is real, and always wondering if the unicorn in our dreams originated within our own consciousnesses.

Episode 307 of the GenreCast sees the team returning to a normal schedule, at least for this week. Blade Runner has oft been tossed around as a potential subject for the show, and due to recent personal circumstances, it finally landed. Ridley Scott's Blade Runner is available in numerous formats, most notably the theatrical cut (with voiceover), the director's cut and Blade Runner The Final Cut. Blade Runner The Final Cut is the authorized restoration by Ridley Scott without the controversial voice over or Hollywood ending. During this week's episode, the team not only analyzes Blade Runner The Final Cut, but also shakes things up in presentation. It'll take some time to work out the kinks, but soon the show will be running like a well-oiled machine once more. Don't forget to rate, review and subscribe!

To kick off 2019, we explore Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner"

This month we talk about Seoul's chances of becoming the next great cyberpunk city, following the likes of the future Los Angeles imagined in Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, Chiba City imagined in William Gibson's Neuromancer, and New Port City (or Hong Kong) imagined in Oshii Mamoru's Ghost in the Shell. Expatriate photographers have found much of cyberpunk's "high tech meets low life" sensibility in Seoul's cityscape, especially on rainy nights in the parts of town full of old neon, crumbling alleys, and visible technological infrastructure. We ask what else Seoul needs to achieve proper cyberpunk status, and whether certain other cities in Africa or India might get there first.

We journey to the near present as seen from the almost as near past to experience Ridley Scott's Blade Runner in all of its glory, and argue about why people argue about Deckard being a replicant...

In our inaugural episode Devan and J.S. review Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, which inspired Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and its newly released sequel Blade Runner 2049. Then stick around as we countdown our top 5 androids (and arguably robots) in popular culture! SHOW NOTES 00:00 Intro 00:53 Discussion of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?

Do androids dream of electric sheep? Does Ryan Gosling dream of Harrison Ford? "Blade Runner 2049" and the meaning of life and humanity are at the center of our discussion in this episode as Fanboy (a.k.a. Paul Asay) gives a (SPOILER-FREE) break down of the epic new sci-fi movie from director Dennis Villaneuve--which itself is a sequel to Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner"... which itself is based on the writing of one Philip K. Dick.Elsewhere, in the Backlist Hall of Shame, Know-It-All (a.k.a. Jake Roberson) forces Fanboy to finally watch the Sergio Leone/Clint Eastwood classic spaghetti western, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."Oh... and we talk about the LAME/EPIC new "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" trailer... and argue about "The Defenders" again.Show Segments:5:04 - The Backlist Hall of Shame: "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly."24:48 - Blade Runner 204942:24 - The Most Least Important Thing(s)(The brief, fair use music samples of the main theme song of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" composed by Ennio Morricone are used here to represent -- for purposes of commentary, review, and critique -- the famous main theme of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.")("April Showers" by ProleteR is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives [aka Music Sharing] 3.0 International License.)

Some discussion and general reaction to Ridley Scott's Blade Runner before a full if somewhat less than glowing review of Blade Runner 2049.

35 years after the original, will this new Blade Runner have legs in 2049? In this episode we talk about the importance of Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982) and if Denis Villenueve's current follow up Blade Runner 2049 lives up to its predecessor. @bladerunner #BladeRunner2049

This week we're once again joined by Bethan (RIP The Lobster) to pick apart a movie that straddles the line between cult classic and actual classic; Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. We talk about Tim Curry's space communism, who the real villain in Blade Runner is, and, of course, we touch on the question that everyone asks whenever Blade Runner is ever discussed.

This week, Zach travels to the future to see if androids dream of electric sheep, or if the dystopian future is just around the corner as he explores Ridley Scott's 1982 film, Blade Runner. BLADE RUNNER Blade Runner is a 1982 American dystopian science fiction thriller film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young and Edward James Olmos. The screenplay, written by Hampton Fancher and David Peoples, is loosely based on the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. The film depicts a dystopian Los Angeles in November 2019 in which genetically engineered organic robots called replicants—visually indistinguishable from adult humans—are manufactured by the powerful Tyrell Corporation as well as by other "mega-corporations" around the world. Their use on Earth is banned and replicants are exclusively used for dangerous, menial or leisure work on off-world colonies. Replicants who defy the ban and return to Earth are hunted down and "retired" by police special operatives known as "Blade Runners". The plot focuses on a brutal and cunning group of recently escaped replicants hiding in Los Angeles and the burnt-out expert Blade Runner, Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who reluctantly agrees to take on one more assignment to hunt them down. Show your thanks to Major Spoilers for this episode by becoming a Major Spoilers VIP. It will help ensure Zach on Film continues far into the future! During the show, Zach mentions a video on Vimeo.com. Here it is. During the show, Stephen mentions the book, Future Noir. The 1992 release of the "Director's Cut" only confirmed what the international film cognoscenti have know all along: Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, based on Philip K. Dick's brilliant and troubling SF novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, still rules as the most visually dense, thematically challenging, and influential SF film ever made. Future Noir is the story of that triumph. The making of Blade Runner was a seven-year odyssey that would test the stamina and the imagination of writers, producers, special effects wizards, and the most innovative art directors and set designers in the industry. A fascinating look at the ever-shifting interface between commerce and the art that is modern Hollywood, Future Noir is the intense, intimate, anything-but-glamerous inside account of how the work of SF's most uncompromising author was transformed into a critical sensation, a commercial success, and a cult classic.

Episode three of this podcast series investigates Christopher Nolan's blockbuster "Batman Begins" in relation to the visual and narrative conventions of film noir. Richard and Shannon ask what it means to dub a modern film "noir," as many reviews of "Batman Begins" have done. They discuss the complexity of Christian Bale's Batman, and how it seems to draw on sources as diverse as hard-boiled fiction and Frank Miller's graphic novel "The Dark Knight Returns." Likewise, they discuss the visual style of "Batman Begins" in relation to such films as Fritz Lang's "Metropolis," Ridley Scott's "Blade Runner," and Tim Burton's "Batman Returns." A great overview of "noir" from its origins to the present. This podcast is brought to you by Clute and Edwards of www.noircast.net.
