For years, we have been fascinated by the spiritual and philosophical ramifications of Blade Runner. What we haven’t explored, however, are the details of Replicant production.
How are Replicants made? Are they assembled, or grown? How are they different from us?
Join us in this first in a series of episodes where we explore the nuances of Replicant design, development, and creation.

In this installment of Interlinked, Jaime, Patrick, and Dan are joined by recurring guest and listener Murray and his daughter Eve to discuss all things Blade Runner. The question 'What does it mean to be human?', continues to be the center question as we process what the story and characters of Blade Runner mean to us. We discuss all of this and more with our guest and his young daughter, hearing a fresh perspective on a topic that never gets old. We hope you enjoy.

At the core of Blade Runner 2049—and at the core of its predecessor—are great characters. Strip away the unforgettable aesthetics, the world-building, even the music, and 2049 still feels, at its heart, like a Blade Runner film.
In this ninth entry into our ongoing series, we explore some of 2049's most intriguing characters. From Sapper Morton, gentle war machine, to Mariette, a replicant with a big secret, the characters of this film live on long after the credits roll.

We’ve discussed the concept art, we’ve discussed the architecture, and now, at last, we come to the production design of Blade Runner 2049 in all its facets: the cityscapes, the objects, the costumes—the physical world these characters inhabit.
We also spend time unpacking the ways in which the built environment of Blade Runner 2049 diverges from the iconic world created in Blade Runner. The visual language of 2049 is at once a profound departure from Ridley Scott’s first film and an homage to it; an echo, an aftershock, a premonition.
Join Jaime, Patrick, and Dan for this eighth installment of our ongoing series on Blade Runner 2049.

Blade Runner 2049 proved itself almost immediately iconic in many ways: the otherworldly visual language, the intoxicating score, the characters we stayed up talking about till odd hours of the night, etc.
For fans of architecture, the built environment of Blade Runner 2049 is particularly special. A fusion of past, present, and imagined, the architecture in the film is a wonderful glimpse into deeper truths within the world these characters inhabit.
On this episode, Jaime and Patrick are joined by our ever-brilliant friend Dr. Robin Bunce. On its face, this episode is really an investigation into several key buildings in the film—but as you'll hear, things go quite a bit deeper than that.
SHOW NOTES
Here are some of Dr. Bunce's suggested reading materials, consulted in preparation for this recording:
- Bradley Garrett, Bunker: Building for the End Times (2020)
- Barnabas Calder, Raw Concrete: The Beauty of Brutalism (2016)
- Duncan Bell and Bernardo Zacka, Political Theory and Architecture (2020)
And be sure to pick up Blade Runner 2049 and Philosophy: This Breaks the World, co-edited by Dr. Bunce and featuring written contributions from the Shoulder of Orion team!

Join Patrick and Jaime as they discuss the conceptual design for Blade Runner 2049 as detailed in Tanya Lapointe's latest collaborative book, Interlinked: The Art. In this episode, we discuss how similar to the original film 2049 began while in the concept stage, to the very unique yet world-specific look that ended up in the final film.
