Eye of the Duck Wondery

We're back, but we're not even close to baseline. It's Denis Villeneuve's BLADE RUNNER: 2049! As our cyberpunk series nears its end, we revisit the world that started it all. Join us for a break down of one of the greatest films of the 21st century, or at the very least, some unhinged Ridley Scott quotes. Listen in!

Next week, we cover Leigh Whannell's UPGRADE (2018). Join the conversation on Eye of the Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx
