Welcome to the Patreon-only, Everything 80s Movie Club! Today, it's the iconic Blade Runner from 1982. And this episode is for members of the Boba Fett level and above. This isn't an easy movie to break down as the plot is so detailed, not to mention there are multiple versions of it—but this is what makes it so important and timeless. I mentioned in the show how Blade Runner could be a ten-part series, so hopefully, I sum it up decently in a shorter amount of time!The premise of this episode is to look at the plot despite there being at least 5 different versions of the film. I include some of these variations in the plot summary—which makes it a bit more confusing and is one of the reasons it was so hard for this movie to make an impact when it was released).We'll also discuss all the different versions of the movie and what makes each one unique.Throughout the show, we also break down some of the themes and interpretations of Blade Runner, the lasting legacy it had, and how it was a major influence on the future of film that we still see today.Hope you enjoy!-Jamie
