NDT applies the word with the meaning it’s actual,y supposed to have, you know, dictionary definition. And “dank weed”? If you get dank weed, throw it the fuck away, because it’s damp, greasy and probably moldy.
I still remember the wonder I felt seeing Blade Runner as a kid after HBO and VCRs became commonplace (late 80s I guess). I still love the movie and the fact that it left questions lingering (as the author of the book intended).
The two of them being in the same room is great on its own and I would've never thought I'd say this about two grown men, but they're actually adorable together. 0:18
I didn't think it was possible for me to respect/love deGrasse Tyson, but hearing that he loves Blade Runner (well of course he does!) Just moved him higher in my estimation. Respect, dude! And "LIKE" isn't enough; where's the LOVE-button!?
I too never got to see it when it first was released, I was in grade 9! But I've lost count how many times I've watched it (including the many different versions and cuts) now... at least 50 to 60 times!
I love Adam Savage and Neil degrasse tyson! They should do something like mythbusters but in a new format. Some science show. That would be cool! Need to check out this whole talk. ;)
GetawayFilms Same here. Back in '87 I ran the audio through my boom box and recorded the whole movie on cassette which I listened to while running for a lonnngggg while. 30 years later I can still do whole scenes verbatim. I need help.
Whaaaat!!??! He just named my top two favorite movies! (Ferris Buellers Day Off & Back To the Future). Of course followed by "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "The Right Stuff" (in that order).
Re: 3:42 - "2019 is forever away!" Ford Prefect: "Don't talk to me about the future... I've been all over it; spend half my time there. Just faster cars and smellier air..."
I am so mad that Adam saw Blade Runner 2049 before it hit theaters. I saw it four times in IMAX. I am so mad I will not get to have the experience again for another 20 years. In other news, I have seen Blade Runner 2049 about 10 times now and bought it on UHD as soon as it came out.
The cyberpunk subgenre per se has a niche audience, it was never really popular, as in for-the-masses kind of popular. You can cite a few successful movies, and those usually are action movie archetypes with a few elements of the genre. Yes, it's always a rainy day, people are depicted as living miserable lives, as being products with a bar code behind their necks, stripped down to what's fundamental about being human, and then blurred together with what is not human, until you can't tell the difference.
Blade Runner is special, it is the most realised, detailed and realistic portrayal of a sci-fi universe ever put to screen. Blade Runner's world is so detailed that you notice things in the background you haven't seen before. The sets are beautiful and it is a visual masterpiece. Blade Runner is the last real Analogue SFX movie and quite possibly the best. It would be over 15 years later before we see digital effects that are capable of such impressive visuals. Blade Runner features three character arcs, the story of Rachel, of Roy and of Deckard. These characters go through a transformation mentally and spiritually as the movie progresses. Blade Runner deals with important topics that are becoming more and more relevant as technology catches up to that which was seen in sci-fi of the 1980s. Blade Runner wasn't just a movie but also a warning of a possible future.
I have watched Mad Max: Fury Road, and Mad Max 2, aka: Road Warrior over a hundred times each. Blade Runner I've watched maybe 15-20 times, and after the Matrix came out I watched the first one way too many times...
The greatness of the original Blade Runner is a testament to the genius of Phillip K. Dick -- the dark sci-fi pioneer whose story "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" was the source material that Blade Runner was adapted from.
This was priceless! Loved their infectious passion for Blade Runner. I wonder if Adam and Neil have watched the original animé series called Ghost in the Shell. As like Blade Runner, GitS challenges and ignites our imaginations and adds to our ideas surrounding life and tech-based human enhancements. 🤖🧠🧚♀️
The original script was basically all set mostly in one room. Ridley had to redo it so that there was at least a few locations. If you think about it there aren't that many locations in the movie.
4:23 that didn’t age well. I mean, mostly the fault of SONY for not marketing the film properly, but it did feel like the cyberpunk community just sorta pretended like this movie didn’t exist. Sales disappointed the suits and now it’s unlikely we’ll see another live action Blade Runner for another 30 years.
I think they're talking about the original 80's release, vs the other versions of it. There are some differences (the ending for ex) that some people like, while others don't. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versions_of_Blade_Runner
I enjoy hearing Neil call Blade Runner and Alien "dank" lmao. I know he means the literal definition and not the slang meaning, but it still is funny to me :D
My favourite movie is Interstellar, important thing, it's my favourite not the best movie, it's the movie that I watched about 20 times and I'll watch it at least 100 times more, I'm always in mood for it and it's never boring to me, I know it isn't perfect but I love it for what it is not what it could/should be
Nothing wrong with Interstellar being your favourite movie. It's a very good film, the people that think Interstellar has plot holes, or doesn't make sense just don't get what it's about. Technically the movie is flawless, the premises are all fine, and the story makes sense if you're not a Michael Bay fan. It easily makes my top 10.
Stefan Grubesic I can't say it's my favourite but it's up there. I'm well aware of what it could have done differently and what I would have changed. But that all being said it's still a fantastic film, visually jaw dropping. And now that I think about it I gave probably seen it 20ish times now. I love it, there are so many scenes, themes, and ideas that will just blow me away, make me wonder, or give me goosebumps and chills. I just wish it was more focused on our resolve as a species and instinct for survial as a primary focus, rather than the power of love across the dimensions but hey... Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against they dying of the light.
I don't comment on your opinion for the sake of knocking it down, but it's possible you like interstellar because you're not familiar with a lot of other good science fiction? I don't mind McD but I couldn't eat it twice in a week, if you catch my drift
The woman in the red dress should have walked by as Neo was standing the on the sidewalk at the end of the movie. That would have been quite trippy a moment.
Blade Runner was so amazing, the what-if factor and Issac Asimovs laws this sci-fi movie totally was a big bang for the whole genre and I totally believe Decker is human. I have the original on VHS, jep I'm so oldie-mumie
+enthusia86 Right. In the book there's no evidence. My friend say's he's a special, but I think that at the very end Deckard was just tired. And well, another thing with a crazy theory I have. Cool book. I love Philip K. Dick's fictions.
i thought replicants don't survive very long. If deckard was a replicant he would have died out around the time Roy did no? Deckard lives to be Harrison's real life self in the sequel how could he be a replicant? Or the more important question why would he be the only replicant given special treatment and a long natural lifespan?
So Dank...
Haha I could not tell where he was going with that until he elaborated and I was reminded that dank can be used in contexts other than dank memes.
Yes he is using the actual definition of the word
memes ememmememes
tbh I thought that meant good weed
Cordialmanx233 For absolutely stupid people it does, so beware when people use that, it says something about their intelligence.
Blade Runner is dank, you heard it here first!
Holobrine dank like weed like this weed is dank? What the fuck is that shit?
Dank - unpleasantly damp and cold.
NDT applies the word with the meaning it’s actual,y supposed to have, you know, dictionary definition. And “dank weed”? If you get dank weed, throw it the fuck away, because it’s damp, greasy and probably moldy.
They need to do more together. They have a flow that’s awesome to watch and quite natural.
How did I not see this til now? Two brilliant men talking about my two favorite movies of all time. Awesome.
The fact the Matrix is the movie Neal deGrasse Tyson has seen the most makes me like him even more, which I didn't think was possible.
ALIEN AND BLADE RUNNER: DANKEST MOVIES OF ALL DANK
I would see a show of those Two... MAKE IT HAPPEN
I loved the mood created by the constant dank and wet in the picture. "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
He's so right, it really is different everytime you watch it, something I never noticed or a scene gives me a new feeling.
Neil saying "DANK!" Made me giggle like a little kid
Zack Simmons made me laugh pretty loud. ☺
Ya but he was using it as a negative word though... Entirely different from its current use in modern colloquialism.
6:58 So Adam "rejects Neil's reality and substitutes his own?" Favourite line from Mythbusters. :)
I watched 12 Monkeys on VHS so many times that it broke while rewinding it one day. In my defense, I did not have Cable at the time lol.
I still remember the wonder I felt seeing Blade Runner as a kid after HBO and VCRs became commonplace (late 80s I guess). I still love the movie and the fact that it left questions lingering (as the author of the book intended).
I've seen blade runner 2049 4 times
how does it feel being half of it's box office?
Jared Fogle I've seen you in south park :)
Jared Fogle Hey man, mad respect
I'm contemplating on seeing it over 10 times as well and 100 times until I leave this godforsaken world. Best movie of the last 18 years...
Antara 75 i prefer interstellar.. but gonna watch bladerunner now.. 1st time i seen it ruined with a bad copy an talkative gf lol
Get you someone that looks at you like Adam looks at Dr. Tyson.
The two of them being in the same room is great on its own and I would've never thought I'd say this about two grown men, but they're actually adorable together. 0:18
DANK!
I was laughing so hard
I didn't think it was possible for me to respect/love deGrasse Tyson, but hearing that he loves Blade Runner (well of course he does!) Just moved him higher in my estimation. Respect, dude! And "LIKE" isn't enough; where's the LOVE-button!?
William Gibson also attributes Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination for cyber punk too, that was published in 1956.
I too never got to see it when it first was released, I was in grade 9! But I've lost count how many times I've watched it (including the many different versions and cuts) now... at least 50 to 60 times!
What a perfect pair. We need more of these two talking about anything.
A nerdy engineer and a cool astrophysicist sit down and talk about sci-fi movie. This is definitely dank
startalk and adam savage , nice two of my favourite things
two of my favorite people. so cool to see them chatting.
Wow this conversation is such a joy
yes! for Animatrix, always loved that...I had a prerelease version on VCD
I love Adam Savage and Neil degrasse tyson! They should do something like mythbusters but in a new format. Some science show. That would be cool! Need to check out this whole talk. ;)
I too have watched Blade Runner around 100 times... I even know the words spoken by the people in the background of 'Leon's emotional response' scene
GetawayFilms
Same here. Back in '87 I ran the audio through my boom box and recorded the whole movie on cassette which I listened to while running for a lonnngggg while. 30 years later I can still do whole scenes verbatim.

2049 is indeed very good imo. Best movie for a long time :)
nope
@@88feji it is
2 of my favorite humans together, dope
The Animatrix is indeed fucking great.
WOW, Adam Savage is my movie spirit animal. What he says about BR2049 and the Animatrix... Right on!
Two great men that I could listen to talk all day!!!....... everyday! 👍👍👍👍👍
So happy to see Adam savage and Neil deGrasse Tyson together
I've lost count how many times I've seen it. *Love* this movie.
Ok... now I have to watch it again.
i really like these two together, a podcast would be epic.
Re: 3:42 - "2019 is forever away!"
Ford Prefect: "Don't talk to me about the future... I've been all over it; spend half my time there. Just faster cars and smellier air..."

I watched Neil say 'DANK' multiple times like an anime fan on Prom Night today. My life is complete.
This needs to become a permanent part of the show!!!
Best collab
Simply put... These two together are amazing!
Best vid I've seen on UA-cam in awhile.
Wow! Two of the coolest people talking about my favourite movie... :O
I'm in 2019... just wait for November
*I never seen any of those movies but still enjoyed the video ...*
haha play this on 50% speed, sounds like two stoned dudes
Simon Jensen it's so perfect though...
At 200 speed they sound liked two coke heads
5:28 at half speed is golden! Adam's "yeah, no, yeah, yeah no..." followed by Neil's laugh 😂
omg thats great!
Damn. I did that whilst stoned and I felt twice as stoned.
"these things will not bite you
they want to have fun."
Then out of the box came thing two and thing one
These two. These two right here are what the internet is for. That and giant robot fights.
my 2 favorite people together... mind blown
They have such great chemistry
It would have been interesting to hear their views about 'The Thing' 1982 directed by John Carpenter. That was also about what is and isn't alive.
Blade Runner > Star Wars (Fantasy movie kids)
They are not related. That's like comparing Dumbo with Terminator. Both original amazing movies.
yikes dude
Nearly everything is better than Star Wars.......
great interview! love it.. a note to the person that filmed this.. why would you film a talking heads at 60 fps.. its disconcerting and looks wierd !

These two should just have a podcast. Epic
OH MY GOD, TWO OF MY CHILDHOOD HEROES!!!
In a perfect world there would be podcast with these two guys talking movies for hours
Two of my heroes talking about one of my most beloved films.

Adam and Neil together is amazing but neil saying dank makes it that much better.
5:50 i have no idea what doc sus has to do with apocalypse now?
im sry but im lost about the doc sus thing
Dank being used in the right way here... Finally
Two of my favorite people in the world.
The greatness of the original Blade Runner is a testament to the genius of Phillip K. Dick -- the dark sci-fi pioneer whose story "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" was the source material that Blade Runner was adapted from.
Back To The Future, is deff my must watch
Two of my favorite people!
It's 2019 and I'm gonna be an old man like "2049 seemed like so far into the future, i thought we'd have flying cars"
Blade Runner was, for me, about self awareness and the awareness of others. And as we change, so does what we see in the movie.
This was priceless! Loved their infectious passion for Blade Runner. I wonder if Adam and Neil have watched the original animé series called Ghost in the Shell. As like Blade Runner, GitS challenges and ignites our imaginations and adds to our ideas surrounding life and tech-based human enhancements. 🤖🧠🧚♀️
Damn...now I can't wait to see Bladerunner2049 even more.
I can watch the new Westworld series over and over, and still get something new also.
The original script was basically all set mostly in one room. Ridley had to redo it so that there was at least a few locations. If you think about it there aren't that many locations in the movie.
Love and miss Adam

Why do people say the 'original' blade runner when 2049 is a sequel and not a remake?
I think they're talking about the original 80's release, vs the other versions of it.
There are some differences (the ending for ex) that some people like, while others don't.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versions_of_Blade_Runner
I agree with Adam. Blade Runner 2049 was great.
Watching this, and Nov 2019 is like 6 months away.
I was 9 when i saw Bladerunner in the theater. It was my first R rated movie. Thanks mom!
I could watch that for another hour!
Two of my favourite nerds at once! My cup runneth over!
1:48 when savage farts Neil has one word lmao
When your film is talked by a master craftsman and a cool astrophysicist you know it's *dank*
Thanks to Vangelis and Zimmer . Because without the GREAT music , the films would be not so good . Thanks for the soundtracks .
Watching in 2019 it’s here!
Blade Runner 2049 was so good!
I enjoy hearing Neil call Blade Runner and Alien "dank" lmao. I know he means the literal definition and not the slang meaning, but it still is funny to me :D
I loved this!!
My favourite movie is Interstellar, important thing, it's my favourite not the best movie, it's the movie that I watched about 20 times and I'll watch it at least 100 times more, I'm always in mood for it and it's never boring to me, I know it isn't perfect but I love it for what it is not what it could/should be

I don't mind McD but I couldn't eat it twice in a week, if you catch my drift
Stefan Grubesic thats one of mines too... Interstellar, The Martian, Metropolis, Gattaca.
i could watch these two talk forever
We need a new one of this for the sequel! :D
The woman in the red dress should have walked by as Neo was standing the on the sidewalk at the end of the movie. That would have been quite trippy a moment.
think i've seen blade runner nearly 100 times myself....would also have to include Brazil on that list of multiple viewings...
When you’re watching this in 2019
Blade Runner was so amazing, the what-if factor and Issac Asimovs laws this sci-fi movie totally was a big bang for the whole genre and I totally believe Decker is human. I have the original on VHS, jep I'm so oldie-mumie
They were dank. *_dank_* .
Deckard is not a replicant.
He's definitely not (at least in the book).
enthusia86 He definitely is a replicant in the movie.
in 2049? maybe. it doesn't really matter.
in the first movie? no. deckard is NOT a replicant.
+enthusia86 Right. In the book there's no evidence. My friend say's he's a special, but I think that at the very end Deckard was just tired. And well, another thing with a crazy theory I have. Cool book. I love Philip K. Dick's fictions.
