176- CyberPunk Edgerunners, Blade Runner & Blade Runner 2049

Jake had quite the dytpotian weekend. Home alone and it was time to watch some movies set in a rather depressing futuristic setting. How does Blade Runner stack up as a movie watching experience in 2022? Answer- not super well it turns out! Surely the seuqel Blade Runner 2049 improves upon that well established formula right? Well… it sort of does, but it also sort’ve does certain things much much worse as it turns out. 


But it’s not all glowing neon gloom and doom! CyberPunk Edgerunners is out on Netflix and it turns out to actually be a really, really solid and well made anime. MUCH of an improvmenet over that mess of a game that CD Projket Red put out a few years ago (yes I know they’ve patched it a bunch, it’s just not very fun to play). As it turns out, well -written characters that you care about and performances from people that don’t sound like they’ve just been woken up from a mid-morning nap (looking at you Keanu Reeves) makes for an interesting formula! WHO WOULD’VE THOUGHT THAT????!!


Also the boys talk about Tom Hanks saying he’s only been in 4 good movies (and what they think they are…. let’s face it, it’s gotta be Turner and Hooch), James Earl Jones is officially retiring from acting…. kind of….. and more!
