N3rd World | More Blade Runner Than Blade Runner

On the latest N3rd World, we dig into both Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049 before discussing the final trailer for Last Jedi. The Blade Runner discussions are spoiler-filled, but I think we did a good job articulating why we all love both movies. And I also think we get a pretty good handle on deciphering what expectations the Last Jedi trailer wants us to have for the movie.

I told you I'd be back with more Fernando Lucas, so this post is heavy with his stuff. First up, I love these spaceship designs inspired by sea creatures. This is the dolphin one, but there's also an orca and a sperm whale in that link.

Links du Jour: Own the Time Bandits' map, Star Wars Chicken, and why is fantasy more popular than scifi?

Mystery

• Dadgumit. First Drive; now Andy Barker.

Fantasy

• I haven't given this much thought, so I'm curious to hear what other people think. The Sci Fi Catholic speculates that maybe the reason fantasy is more popular than sci fi these days is that science is moving ahead faster than science fiction writers can keep up. There might be some merit to that, but I'm thinking that it also could have something to do with Peter Jackson and Lord of the Rings. Thoughts?
• Ever wanted to own a replica of the map from Time Bandits? Got $100?

Science Fiction

• It was darn near a year ago when they started talking about releasing yet another Director's Cut of Blade Runner for this year's 25th anniversary of the film. According to Joanna Cassidy (who played Zhora the snake dancer), they've even been reshooting some scenes from it. Shouldn't be much longer now.
• My first exposure to Cartoon Network's Robot Chicken was a Star Wars sketch I saw on YouTube. When I checked out the show, it was funny, but I kept wishing that they'd do more Star Wars. Wish granted.
• The Sci Fi Channel has announced the premiere dates for some of their summer shows. The third season of Doctor Who starts July 6; their new Flash Gordon series premieres August 10th.
