172. BLADE RUNNER 10: A BIG CLOUD OF TERRIBLE IDEAS

Fifty Years of Shit Robots

Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we continue our examination of BLADE RUNNER, one of the pivotal films in science fiction cinema. In this episode, Roy Batty is bad boy.

WARNING! The S**t-bomb is said and Roy also drops the F word and there's the sound of a skull cracking so maybe don't play this out when the kids are listening.
