We couldn't stay away. And with a second viewing, time to percolate, and responses from friends informing us, Eavesdropping once again delves into Blade Runner 2049.\n\nWhat to make of the film's representation of women? How does the film use names? Why did Mike have a little weep at the end this time? Do gay women have cottages? Does the film function as a story about slavery? What about criticisms of its lack of diversity in casting?\n\nWhy do people think this film is dull? Is it the film's fault? Television's? Humanity's? Why don't we care to engage visually any more?\n\nMost importantly, what do the bees mean?\n\nRecorded on 10th October 2017.
