What is Blade Runner?
Initial impressions
Replicants vs Humans - what is the difference
Influences in current media, or media that came after
Are we to empathize with replicants? Does their ability to effectively navigate relationship dynamics form the basis for just treatment? Wouldn’t any entity with an artificially shortened lifespan try to extend it? Are the “evil” replicants acting on a drive for preservation? @alatinolawyer
The Voight-Kampff test
Are you as sad as me that animals are basically extinct in 2019? @alatinolawyer
Curious on your take on the ending - why did Roy make the choice he did? @JonathanCellini
Is Deckard a replicant?
Should Rachel have been told she was a replicant? @alatinolawyer
Different versions - how much/often should works be changed after release?
What do you hope to see in Blade Runner 2049?

Listener Questions

Did you play the ‘97 Blade Runner video game? If so, what were your thoughts? Do you like video game adaptations that tell a side story rather than retelling the plot of the movie? @The_Doc_Webb
