😐 7 / 10
🧾 Nathan Fielder gives people a chance to rehearse for their own lives in a world where nothing ever works out as expected.

Blade Runner 2049
💬 I think this is better than the first blade runner. My only problem with this movie and other blade runners is that the replicants are built to bleed and take damage. Why would humans develop this if they were to be used as slaves?
