This is beyond the big screen podcast with your host Steve Guerra and Agoura Podcast Network member.

Welcome back to Beyond the big screen. Today we are very happy to be joined by Eric of the reconsider podcast. And today we're going to take a deep dive into the movie Blade Runner 2049. And if you listen to last week's episode we talked about Blade Runner from 1982. So these are two great episodes to listen to back to back. So I highly suggest you go back and listen to that episode. But it's not required obviously. Not so much because you need that as background knowledge for this movie or episode it's just because it was a great show. So thank you so much Eric for being on today.

Yeah my pleasure. I love your show and I love this movie and I love talking about it.

Great. Thank you. So reconsider is a podcast about politics and news but it's really much more than just the news of the day sort of thing that you can get on TV or radio Zander and Eric which I'm sad to say Zander wasn't able to join us today but they help you contextualize current politics and history in the broader forces and in political theory reconsider helps you rise above the one liners. The 140 character politics and the tribal narratives. Their motto is We don't do the thinking for you and they really don't. And that's why I think it's such an amazing podcast. Do you have anything you could to add to that Eric.

No thanks man. I think one of the things that I really like about reconsider is that Zander and I don't always agree on everything and we do a great job. I think showcasing how to discuss stuff in a way that you know in a way which we're really learning and one of these days I want to do a behind the scenes episode where we actually because we build these we build these episodes out with a lot of disagreement and we do a bunch of research and learn some stuff as we go. So I kind of want to do one of these blind to show a little more of how we do that. That's my favorite part is when we disagree and it's a good time.

Yeah that's really cool. I'd love to listen to an episode like that. Now this movie Blade Runner 2049 is currently in the theaters. If you're listening to this show in the 2017 2018 time period it stars Ryan Gosling as Kay Harrison Ford reprising his role as Daccord there's Robin Wright Penn and a bunch of other great actors. It was released in October of 2017. We will definitely have a few spoilers in this episode but I'm not sure but I think this is a good way to help you understand the movie and maybe get a little different perspective when you're watching at church. And second fourth or fifth time and this film takes place about 30 years in the future after the original Blade Runner movie and it's all of these. Blade Runner from 1982 and then this newest Blade Runner are all based on the 1968 Philip K. Dick novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep which was a great novel too. Two great movies based on a great novel.

Yeah I...
