    “Do you like our owl?”

    What an absolute treat! The original and best podcast covering all aspects of the Blade Runner world (both films and graphic novels). A deep dive into the scenes, characters, themes, costumes and lore, with great guests and superb information at every turn. I’ve loved this since the first episode and often replay them. The attention to detail is amazing. Thanks to all involved - love it!!

  • consistently thoughtful and excellent

    This is one of my favorite podcasts. The hosts are always engaging and have thoughtful discussions. Listening to them feels like I’m hanging out with my best friends. They’ve been running this podcast for years, focused on two movies and a TV show, and still find things to talk about. That’s a testament to the continuing relevance of Blade Runner, but also to the hosts.
