Richard Linklater's A Scanner Darkly (2006) is a better film than Blade Runner, the adaptation often seen as the gold standard of Philip K. Dick adaptations. Join Dan and Mike for a conversation about the experience of watching this terrific and trippy interrogation of the surveillance state, the noise that permeates our lives, and the ways in which our identities are scanned and sold. Other topics include rotoscoping, John LeCarre, Primer, The Departed, and whether or not Woody Harrelson knew he was in a movie at the time of filming. So put down that Substance D, reconnect those hemispheres, and give it a listen!
