A Bob's Burgers still from Season 5's "Itty Bitty Ditty Committee."
Bouchard added, "We also know it has to fill every inch of the screen with the colors and the sounds and the ever-so-slightly greasy texture of the world of Bob’s — but most of all it has to take our characters on an epic adventure."

Blade Runner Explained
With early buzz suggesting that Denis Villeneuve’s follow-up to the legendary 1982 sci-fi noir Blade Runner is itself set to become a well-regarded classic of the genre, it’s a good time to remind everyone just why the original carries so much weight in the world of speculative storytelling. The sequel, Blade Runner 2049, builds on an established foundation with the first film, expanding a detailed dystopian world of the future in which humans and Replicants try to make their way through a rain-swept urban environment filled with dangers and delights.
Let’s take a look at where it all began… (Spoilers obviously follow for the original film.)
It starts with Philip K. Dick, a science fiction author whose deeply philosophical ruminations on identity and human nature have made his work a wellspring of inspiration for countless media adaptations and homages. Blade Runner is a loose adaptation of his 1968 novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, with a screenplay by Hampton Fancher (returning for the sequel alongside co-writer Michael Green) and David Peoples. The title of the story has itself passed into our pop culture lexicon; if you ask Siri, she’ll tell you that she does dream of electric sheep, but only sometimes.

PUBG Dev Apologizes for Server Problems
In order to combat recent connection, login, and server crash issues caused by rapid growth of the player base, the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds development team will be preparing servers "far more in advance," according to a recent blog post on the developer's website.
"We anticipated about 1 million concurrent users in the beginning of our Early Access period," the post says. "Since the end of June, our concurrent player base saw a rapid increase so we started designing a new server architecture. However, the number of users increased faster than our development speed which resulted in more connection and server issues recently."
