FFR 214: Blade Runner with Inkoo Kang

On this episode of Cyberpunk Summer, we’re welcoming special guest, writer, critic, and podcaster Inkoo Kang to talk about Blade Runner, Ridley Scott’s 1982 film adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Set in the dystopian Los Angeles of 2019, Harrison Ford plays a cop hunting down bio-engineered androids known as replicants, who have returned to Earth from the space colonies where they were sent to work as slave labor.
