YouTube's Nerdwriter has released a new video essay, and this one centers on the sounds of Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi classic Blade Runner. It's been a long time since I've seen this movie, so I'll definitely be rewatching it before Blade Runner 2049 hits theaters, and thanks to this video, I'll be paying close attention to the way the score, dialogue, and sound effects blend together to create a cohesive, dream-like soundscape.
