151 // Is Blade Runner CyberPunk?
February 27, 2024 00:19 - 1 hour - 119 MBIs Blade Runner considered CyberPunk? That's the question that inspired this month’s episode. The word cyberpunk has been tossed around in relation to Blade Runner for many years. Patrick & Jaime have talked briefly about cyberpunk while never fully investigating the topic. For this episode, we’ve invited cyberpunk author T.R. Napper and first time guest and inspiration behind this episode, longtime listener a.t. johnston. Join us as we explore this fascinating topic with the experts. ...
150 // Blade Runner 2099 News, Rumors, and Speculation
January 30, 2024 22:06 - 46 minutes - 42.2 MBA curious bit of news recently broke suggesting Blade Runner 2099 is going to begin production in Europe in May. While we haven't as yet been able to verify this is 100% factual, it's got us thinking: what's the state of this thing? On today's episode, Jaime and Patrick go through some of what we're hearing around the internet about this Prime Video series helmed by Silk Luisa. They also discuss some of her previous work, and some recent series that have hit—and missed—the mark when it come...
(Special Presentation) FRAME RATE: Godzilla Minus One (2023)
January 20, 2024 15:00 - 55 minutes - 51 MB** For more content like this, join our Patreon at patreon.com/perfectorganism ** 2023 was quite a year at the movies. "Barbenheimer" became a cultural phenomenon. Marvel lost its mojo. And a ten million-dollar subtitled Godzilla movie became the most successful live-action Japanese film in US history. But Godzilla Minus One is so, so much more than just a box office success story. It's a deeply human tale that feels urgently suited to our time in world history. It manages to be both terr...
149 // On the Nature of Luv
December 27, 2023 04:54 - 56 minutes - 52.1 MBAs we close out our sixth year, we thought we'd return to the sort of content that's been our bread and butter since the very beginning: character analysis. This episode was prompted by a simple question: is Luv really an antagonist? She's murderous, she's frightening, she's chasing our heroes ... but she's also clearly a victim. She's acting within the boundaries of her conditioning and programming. So who's really the "bad guy?" Jaime, Patrick, and Micah have a great time hashing out th...
148 // Interviewing Bill George, Blade Runner VFX Artist
November 28, 2023 22:42 - 53 minutes - 48.5 MBBill George was just starting out a career in Hollywood as a VFX artist and model maker when he got the call to join the storied Blade Runner model shop. He would go on to play a pivotal role in creating some of Blade Runner's most iconic props, including the Spinner and the Blimp. In this incredible interview, Bill gives Jaime and Patrick (and you!) behind-the-scenes glimpses into how these amazing structures came to life. // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.blade...
147 // Blade Runner Goes Metal: Interviewing Matt Motto from Dissona
October 25, 2023 00:32 - 1 hour - 68.1 MBThe Blade Runner universe inspires art of all sorts: visual media, poetry, cosplay, you name it. But the form of media most touched by Blade Runner's influence might just be music. Vangelis' legendary score (complemented beautifully by Wallfisch and Zimmer decades later) conjures an atmosphere that many musicians have sought to reconnect with over the years. But this often translates to aesthetic choices. Synth-heavy, reverb-laden, soaked with the atmosphere of dark streets and wet neon. W...
146 // Interviewing Blade Runner Producer Ivor Powell
September 26, 2023 06:59 - 56 minutes - 104 MBIn this episode, Jaime & Patrick sit down with legendary producer Ivor Powell to discuss his work on Blade Runner, Alien and Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

144 // Anatomy of A Scene: The Morricole Orphanage

143 // Anatomy of A Scene: The Pushback
July 12, 2023 19:35 - 57 minutes - 107 MBIn this episode, Patrick & Jaime are joined by longtime listener, sometimes guest, Ricardo Silvestre to push back against some of our ideas and opinions presented in our Deck-A-Rep and Bryant and Deckard episode. Is there a definitive answer to the Deck-A-Rep conversation? Does it matter? Is Deckard central to the story of Blade Runner or is he a distraction? We dive into all of this and more. We hope you enjoy! // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.bladerunnerpodcas...

This episode pivots back to some heavier topics for us as we delve into female representation, and the idea that even films we love should not be shielded from scrutiny. This was a thoughtful and sobering discussion and a return to form for us. We hope you enjoy! // For more on this and our other projects, please visit www.bladerunnerpodcast.com // If you'...

140 // Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049: Assessing Their Resonance
May 17, 2023 21:12 - 54 minutes - 50.1 MBSomething we've noticed lately—in social media circles, in email write-ins, in comments on episodes—is an uptick in people saying something to the effect of "Blade Runner 2049 feels more resonant in my life now than the original does." This isn't an argument over which film is better. It's not even an argument over which film is more relevant. Rather, it's a conversation about why some fans might be feeling like 2049 is capturing something specific to this particular time and place we find...
139 // Minisode: 2099 News, Episode Planning, and More!

Sebastián Lelio's The Wonder might look like a typical period drama from the outside, but anyone who's watched it knows it's anything but typical. A devastating look at trauma, belief, and redemption, The Wonder unfolds almost like a horror film.
