Blade Runner (1982)

Wake up, time to die! It’s the miniseries premiere(!!) of 20XX, our descent into the neon-tinted cultural movement known as Cyberpunk. We’re so excited for this series to lift off with one of the most influential science fiction films in American history, Ridley Scott's BLADE RUNNER! How much did Harrison Ford hate those voice-overs? Did Edward James Almos really create a new language just for this movie? Take the Voight-Kampff test with us and listen to find out who the real replicants are.
