This episode we’re  discussing the 1995 cyberpunk anime Ghost in the Shell, one of our newly minted essential films, as a transition into our series on the works of the Wachowskis. 

And for this discussion, we’re joined by the ghosts  Dr. Tessa and Dr. Sam from Monkey Off My Backlog via the magic of cyberspace, which somehow made Jarret sound even more robotic.
