Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast hosts Will Johnson and Don Shanahan have been dangling the possibility of bringing in guests to act as “tiebreakers” for their little recorded fueds. Now, with a good grove after getting a dozen-plus episodes under their belt, the boys called upon their first guest for their 17th episode. Welcome Phoenix film critic Ben Cahlamer to the soundwaves to talk all things on 1982’s watershed science fiction film Blade Runner. 

A flying car makes its way through elevated streets and billboards.

Between the three of us, we all come to Blade Runner from different places. Some of us saw it and loved it early. Some of us saw it later in life or in broken forms before coming to love or respect it. You’ve got three savvy sci-fi fans who pour their hearts out here. Folks, this is a rich one.
