In Theaters: Blade Runner 2049

We want to introduce you to a brand-new bonus segment we'll be doing sporadically on Film Snuff that we're calling "In Theaters." This is our immediate reaction after seeing a new movie we're interested in that was just widely released theatrically. 

In this debut installment of In Theaters, we discuss "Blade Runner 2049," the sequel 35 years in the making to Ridley Scott's 1982 cult classic "Blade Runner."

Ryan Gosling plays Officer K, a blade runner for the Los Angeles Police Department 30 years after the events of the first film. Officer K unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos. His discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (with Harrison Ford reprising his role from the original film), a former Blade Runner who's been missing since 2019.
