PSYOP CINEMA

Ep. 64 – Blade Runner 2049

Continuing the discussion that began with our analysis of Blade Runner, we look at the legacy sequel released in 2017 and directed by Denis Villeneuve. Blade Runner 2049 intensifies the psy-op of the original film, making the Monarch tropes and mind control themes far more obvious. The ever-sus Leto appears as a Elon Musk style tech-oligarch with Promethean aspirations. Considering the various perspectives advanced within the film on human/tech hybridity, we find Blade Runner 2049 to be promoting an anti-human worldview even more insidious than that of the Jared Leto villain.
