Shoulder of Orion: The Blade Runner Podcast

In this episode, Patrick, Micah and Jaime gather to discuss in detail the images showcased in the first teaser trailer for Blade Runner 2099. 

From how Replicants are born, to the meaning of the logo on Cora's jacket, we leave no stone unturned. The hosts also discuss the visual symmetry between the original 1982 film, Blade Runner 2049 and Silka Luisa's new vision. 

This was an exciting episode and we're so happy to be back in regular discussion about Blade Runner as we await the release for 2099 on November 25th, 2026.

It's FINALLY HERE! Amazon has released a flurry of images for Blade Runner 2049 as well as an official first teaser at the Hall H presentation at San Diego Comic Con. 

Jaime and Patrick sit down to discuss what's been released in terms of story beats and of course, the incredible trailer. This is a new era for Shoulder of Orion: The Blade Runner Podcast and the Blade Runner saga. From 'sunshine noir' to two new protagonists set in a world filled with Replicants that are now in control, there's a lot to dissect and discuss. We hope you enjoy. Stay tuned. There is so much more to come in the weeks and months ahead!

In this episode, Patrick and Jaime discuss the news that Blade Runner 2099 will have a Hall H presence at this year's San Diego Comic Con. In what is some surprising news, it looks like 2099 just might be released by late last quarter of this year. Join us as we discuss what we know, the ongoing silence from Amazon and just what we might see on July 24th.

First, an apology: we have been pretty quiet for the past couple of months. We are going to switch to an every-other-month schedule for the time being, as we want to keep the show as fresh as possible.

That's been a little difficult lately, given the absolute paucity of information on Blade Runner 2099. 

In today's episode, Jaime and Patrick discuss the current situation and compare it to other promotional cycles.

We will go back to monthly (and likely biweekly) episodes again soon, but until then we will see you every other month. Thanks for sticking with us! Once 2099 is more clearly on the horizon, we will have a very exciting time in fandom. 

We're looking very forward to that.

In this episode, Jaime, Patrick and Micah discuss what's happening in our world through the lens of the Blade Runner films. This conversation proved to be riveting, sobering and challenging. We try our best to serve author Philip K. Dick's intentions when he wrote Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. We discuss everything from why a system would develop a version of people without empathy to how immigrants are similar to Replicants.

 
This show touches on a lot of hot button topics and it's not for everyone. If you're looking for pure escapism and entertainment, this would not be the episode for you.
