Blade Runner (1982)

In our latest episode, regular hosts Haitch and Jason are joined by by the co-founder and CTO of Slack, Cal Henderson. We complete our Ridley Scott doubleheader, with his 1982 masterpiece, the greatest science fiction film of all time? Question mark? Blade Runner. We cover the power of production design, debate whether Deckard is a replicant (again), and make the biggest announcement in show history!
