The Last Stop in Yuma County 52:58

1h ago52:58

52:58

This is our final film review of the season, and we are literally going out guns blazing! We close Season 6 with a profile of Francis Galluppi’s The Last Stop in Yuma County.

Do Androids dream of electric sheep? This was the titular question asked by Philip K. Dick’s 1968 dystopian novel that served as the basis for the Blade Runner films.
