Episode notes
There are very few legacy sequels that match or potentially surpass the original, often they end up being tired retreads of what came before. Blade Runner 2049 is one of those few exceptions, coming 35 years later and helmed by Denis Villeneuve it reintroduces us to the ruined future with updated elements like more compliant Replicants, AI girlfriends, horrendous poverty and Harrison Ford in a t-shirt. It also has Ryan Gosling as K doing his own version of Blade Running around with hologram Ana De Armas. Incredible movie. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review SUBSCRIBE HERE ►►…

Soldier - Caravan Of Garbage
In between Blade Runner, original Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 there exists a movie positioned snugly in the middle, set in Ridley Scott's groundbreaking universe. 1998's Soldier, starring Kurt Russell and directed by Paul WS Anderson, was written by Blade Runner scribe David Webb Peoples and incorporates many elements from the 1982 original directed by Ridley Scott. It's mostly small visual cues and blink and you miss it easter eggs, but this is unmistakably supposed to take place after the origins events from 2019. None of it makes the movie better. Doesn't make it worse, though. But…

Blade Runner - Caravan Of Garbage
It's impossible to list all the visual design elements, tropes and world building that Blade Runner had on popular culture upon its initial release in 1982. Despite bombing in a most spectacular fashion Ridley Scott managed to literally redefined the future of sci-fi despite the atrocious Harrison Ford/Rick Deckard's voice over. Here we look at the definitive version from 2007 that restores original scenes, removes others including said voice over and changes the ending in a manner that completely alters the meaning of the entire film. Thanks for watching our Caravan Of Garbage review and be…

641 Resident Evil 2026
RESIDENT EVIL. That's right we're back to talk the eighth movie (second reboot) of the video game to movie franchise this time directed by Zach Cregger of weapons fame. A lot of people are excited by that whilst some particular fans of the franchise are definitely not. We also discuss the poor reception of Zack Snyder's The Last Photograph and wanting to adapt The Dark Knight Returns, some Man of Tomorrow updates, the potential of Lanterns Season 2, weird unit Tom Cruise is on an absolute media tear the only way he knows how (being a normal man) and a whole lot more. Thanks for listening New…
