Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we continue our examination of BLADE RUNNER, one of the pivotal films in science fiction cinema. In this episode, Roy Batty does something very surprising and then says something very surprising.

WARNING! The S**t-bomb is said and Matt and Stephen also drop the F word, which is most unlike them.
