"Bechdelgrams" are beautiful illustrations of whether a movie passes the Bechdel test

Does your favorite movie feature two women discussing something other than a man? Bechdelgrams are a beautiful and useful way to illustrate the conversations in a movie:

Time for another Bechdelgram, this one's Blade Runner (1982). Specifically the Final Cut although I don't think it makes a difference pic.twitter.com/HUmERkWBlp
