Have we been here before?

On the heels of the release of "Dune Part Two," Alex Wolz returns to BFI to discuss Denis Villeneuve's other sc-fi sequel: Blade Runner 2049.

How does this movie speak to the modern way of life? What can we glean from Denis Villeneuve's intentions for the future of the Dune franchise from this movie? What is the functional difference between K's relationship to JOI and the American moviegoing public's to the Dune 2 AMC popcorn bucket?

All this and more!

*Note: There was a minor equipment issue with this week's recording. The last 5-6 minutes of the video cut out, so a message addressing this is present in that version and the audio one.
