The third entry into our 'Anatomy of A Scene' series brings us to the moment when Officer K meets Luv for the first time. On its face, there are a lot of similarities in this scene to when Deckard meets Rachael for the first time. Joining this discussion is contributing host Micah Greene who jumps into the deep end as we break down this pivotal moment in Blade Runner 2049. We hope you enjoy.

In this new series, Anatomy of A Scene, Patrick and Jaime breakdown a scene in Blade Runner where Captain Bryant is explaining the mission to a very perplexed Rick Deckard. Patrick and Jaime have discussed this scene privately for a while in terms of its implication on the 'Deck-a-Rep' conversation and how it plays into the overall narrative in the film. As with so much in the world of Blade Runner, our conclusions and speculation add another layer in a world where so much of it seems intentionally ambiguous. We hope you enjoy and we'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas as well. Enjoy.

The world of Blade Runner has had a consistent shroud of mystery over it since its release in 1982. From the rain-soaked streets to the neon signs illuminating the city, there is no corner that's not riddled with questions and shadow. Infiltrating this environment is the presence of a massive amount police. They're on every corner of seemingly every street. In this episode, Patrick & Jaime dive into discussing why the police have such a military-style presence and how that affects the world they inhabit. We hope you enjoy!

This is episode is our last recording of calendar 2022, capping off an incredible year. From all of us at Shoulder of Orion: The Blade Runner Podcast, we are wishing all of you a Happy New Year!

It's been three years since we've had our friend and guest Paul M. Sammon on the show to talk about Blade Runner. To remedy that, Patrick & Jaime asked him back to discuss the 40 year legacy of Blade Runner, what it means to him, and the road ahead. This was a delightful interview and we hope you enjoy.

It's been five years since the release of Blade Runner 2049. In that time, it took us a while to dedicate an episode to Officer KD6.3-7. We were delighted to hear from a new listener about his resonance with K and what that means to him. Hearing from that listener inspired us to invite him on the show and jump back into the discussion. Please join Patrick, Jaime and James as they dive back into the world and the mind of K as we celebrate the anniversary of the release of Blade Runner 2049.

When Fria Ligan (Free League Publishing) released the Alien RPG back in 2019, it was a watershed moment in Alien fandom. Buzzing with drama and detail, this tabletop role playing game gave Alien fans a universe of new content to explore together.

So when it was announced early in 2022 that Free League was working on a Blade Runner RPG, fans around the world took to the internet to express their delight. 

In today’s episode, Jaime and Patrick get a peek behind the curtain with Free League’s Co-founder and CEO Tomas Härenstam. Tomas is the Lead Game Designer on both the Blade Runner RPG and the Alien RPG, as well as Mutant: Year Zero (the origin of the acclaimed Year Zero engine driving both the Blade Runner and Alien games).
