How far are we from Replicants, Flying Cars and Holograms? Is BladeRunner 2049 sexist? Does it live up to the original?
We have all the answers*. All you need to do is go and see Blade Runner 2049 on the biggest screen with the best sound you can find, luxuriate in it and then come back and listen to this brand new episode of the Cosmic Shed.
In reality, we were blown away by Blade Runner 2049 and congregated in the shed to record our initial reactions. This will, in fact, be the first of two episodes on the film. Listen to this episode to find out why...
We did our research, obviously, by first watching Blade Runner the original, in the newly improved Cosmic Shed which now doubles as a rather excellent cinema.
