-All Shell, No Ghost-

CJ, Jimmy, and Suri dive headlong into the mess that is the 2017 Ghost in the Shell film starring Scarlett Johannson and directed by Rupert Sanders. They discuss the whitewashing and culture conflicts that raise in the film, along with a poor characterization and misunderstandings of the original source material. Afterwords, CJ talks about seeing Interstella 5555 at a local art house theater, Jimmy gushes over another forgotten children show and Suri is captivated by Attack on Titan’s latest opening. The episode ends with a Patreon Support Question about Hollywood’s depiction of technology in the new Ghost in the Shell film.
