GB hosts the Fast Forward show to find out what happened after the release of Blade Runner in 1982.

Turns out there was quite a bit before the 2017 sequel Blade Runner 2049 - including a TV series in 2021, a video game, some short films AND a new Amazon show coming soon. As well as maybe another new game. Maybe.

Typically, this episode was recorded just before news broke that the new Amazon show wrapped and small details started to come out about its plot. Alas, such is the way the cookie crumbles.
