    BIRTHDAY BONUS: Bladerunner (1982) & Bladerunner 2049 (2017)

    Another year for the birthday boi! This year for Jackson's super self-indulgent birthday bonus episode, we watched Bladrunner, the Final Cut and Bladerunner 2049. We dive into the cyberpunk dystopia of Los Angeles where we follow the adventures of two bladerunners as they are tasked with separate goals to "retire" on the loose replicants, but perhaps they will find their humanity along the way.
