In a very special episode of Hate Expectations, we reveal that one one of the two of us is actually an android. However, technology has come so far since the time of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968, Philip K. Dick) that it's impossible to distinguish us from real humans now. The only consequence for the show is that we can finally reveal the answer to the titular question. (Yes they do, but they don't remember it the next morning.) Neither our robot insight, our viewing of the movie (1982, dir. Ridley Scott), nor the vast expertise of our guest host, Jane Hutchins, helps us to settle the more perplexing question, "What the hell is a Blade Runner, anyway?" Set your mood organs to 042 (a strong desire to listen to a fun podcast) and join us as we explore this depressing dystopia.
