MGMR Goes to the Movies: Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049

Welcome back to MGMR Goes to the Movies! This month the crew watched Blade Runner AND Blade Runner 2049 as a double feature. Join Nick, Tori, and Warren as they discuss the film’s themes, imagery, music, and story.

  • Does Warren talk about anything other than the Score and the World Design?
  • Did the 1997 game do well to maintain the world building of the 1982 film?
  • Will Nick ever shake the dream-like quality of the original film?
  • How do you pronounce Denis Villeneuve?
  • What’s Tori’s favorite line from 2049?
  • Isn’t Ryan Gosling dreamy?

The answers to these questions and more on this month’s MGMR Goes to the Movies!

PC:R - Guilty Pleasure Games

Chris, Warren, and Chad gather to confess their taboo video game favourites. Like Big Macs, 90 Day Fiance, and Chet Hanks, this one's all about the games we can't help but love even though we know they're awful.

MGM:R #014 - Portable Ops Pt. 5- The Perfect Soldier

Patrons!

The episode is fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally here. 

Warren, Chris, and Tori reunite and pick up the story from ep # 011. How did you fare in the Python and Null fights? Hit us back with your experiences and impressions!

MGMR Goes to the Movies: Stalker

Warren and Special Guest Nick Freda talk about Stalker, a 1979 Film by Andrei Tarkovsky. 

Are the atmosphere and cinematography enough to make this a "must-see" film?

Does this film tackle themes of faith or self-purpose?

Is “Sepia” pronounced SEE-Pia? Or Se-pia?

Warren and Nick tackle some big themes during this discussion so be sure to give this one a listen.
