Spiritual Sequel (The Incomparable Mothership 813) We complete our run through blades with “Blade Runner 2049,” a late sequel in which Ryan Gosling plays a replicant detective searching for an explosive secret that could change everything… and is unsurprisingly tied to characters from “Blade Runner.” We discuss why a replicant might need a holographic girlfriend, Jared Leto’s eyes, and once again, if Deckard is a replicant or not and why that really doesn’t matter. - Jason Snell with John Siracusa, Erika Ensign, Dan Moren and Monty Ashley.

Daredevil: Born Again S2 Ep 2 & 3 (Biff! 260) With the second season of Daredevil underway things start to fall into place. The efforts to remove the Northern Star from the harbour collide with our gang’s efforts to spring the people the Anti-Vigilante Task Force has taken into custody. Meanwhile, Dex is going around Dexing people. Did these episodes have the flurish of a Jack Duquense or the ungainly handling of an armoured car? - Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Pilot (Friday Night Lights S1E1) (Sorkin' In It 5.1) After covering all of Sorkin’s films, we moved to TV with The Newsroom, Studio 60, and Sports Night. Now, there’s only one show left to cover, with perhaps Sorkin’s finest and enduring work yet: Friday Night Lights. We start with the pilot, meeting a whole bunch of characters, and Lex is deeply curious about whether Brian will like the show or regret signing up for yet another season. Find out the answer and enjoy a new theme song. It’s Season 5 of Sorkin’ In It. - Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Have You Considered More Voiceovers? (The Incomparable Mothership 811) These movie producers really did a job on “Blade Runner.” They don’t advertise for narrations in the newspaper, every good writer knows that. But when you’re trying to sell a narratively dense piece of visual art to 1982 audiences who just want to see a Harrison Ford movie, that’s the sort of compromise you make. All we could do is sit there and watch it play. - Jason Snell with Monty Ashley, Steve Lutz, Kelly Guimont and Dan Moren.

Also, there’s at least one more pasta night with the Baldwins. And maybe there’s life on Titan? - Dan Moren and Jason Snell.

Cheated Out of Glitter Vomit (The Incomparable Mothership 810) Hit the books and polish up your comm badges, because it’s time to go to school—“Starfleet Academy,” that is.
