Summary

Molly, Tess and Emily are joined by poet Elizabeth Cantwell to discuss her book All The Emegency Type Structures, leftist prepper culture, what kind of dwellings are the most haunted, and how to deal with weather that wants to kill you. Plus underground tunnels and secret societies! And...it’s Los Angeles November 2019, do you know where your blade runners are? We return to Ridley Scott’s 80s sci fi opus just as we pass its start date, to talk about LA architecture, the dystopian gentrification of downtown, and whether Blade Runner is now a utopian movie (spoiler: we say yes?)
