We’re going off-world this episode, joining Robert Pattinson on an ice planet in Bong Joon Ho’s new satirical clone adventure Mickey 17, before crashing back to a ruined, rainy Earth to compare it to Ridley Scott’s flawed 1982 masterpiece Blade Runner. Two films about artificial humans and the value of life, but which one deals eloquently with eternal themes and which one can’t make up its mind what it wants to say? Which one feels fresh and contemporary, and which one feels like a satire that’s been overtaken by the news? Which one was originally going to be a Scorsese film? And where exactly are the electric sheep?
Plus we ask if there is an Oscar curse, remember Mr Spock making love to a rock monster, reminisce over TDK tapes, enjoy a teenage lesbian romance with a surprising left turn, have a quick lesson on Fregoli syndrome, send Sandra Bullock into space and let Fellini float into the air.
