Totally understand your gripes but I loved this movie!! 😅 The atmosphere, visuals and weirdness just really worked for me. Felt like a surreal indie horror. Listening to your thoughts, I feel like it has a lot in common with the second season of Vinland Saga, which I also loved. It’s a sequel but a jarring departure from what we expect, it’s talky, slow and sad; focused on philosophy and mood. Just thought that was interesting! 🤷

The key difference between this and the Oshii films that Heather mentioned being a fan of is that Oshii didn't write those movies. Both GITS and Avalon had scripts provide by his Head Gear colleague Kazunori Ito. For better or worse, Innocence is pure uncut Oshii.

The original Ghost In The Shell film was obviously a classic, but for me ~ Stand Alone Complex is the definitive Ghost In The Shell experience (at least looking at the two seasons involving the laughing man and individual eleven cases). I know it's a sequel to the 1995 film, but it feels like they got all the characters wrong because of my recent rewatch of SAC. The vibes work, the tech is on par with both the film and the series, outside of some of the dated cgi it looks pretty good. The case and mystery absolutely work as a great piece of scifi detective fiction. But also, I mostly watch this for the gender vibes I get from Major Kusanagi, a Batou flick wasn't ever gonna be my cup of tea.. 9.25 out of 10.

I support the take that there being at least one cool or interesting scene makes this movie worth it. It legitimately made me think of Rise of Skywalker and how I don’t think there is a single scene or sequence I’d revisit (not to derail the conversation for the next 5 minutes…). On the flip side, there are plenty of bad horror movies that I’m still glad exist because of one awesome sequence or kill. I end up being glad most movies exist! It rocks!

Not a great movie, but a fantastic dog. Chihayafuru is one of my favorite animes ever and I never see anyone talk about it. Very happy to know it has the Heather seal of approval.

Idk if this is a hot take but I think 2049 is better than the original.

Imagine the deep, incandescent rage of a thousand suns that blossomed within me when I realized upon renting this movie from AppleTV that it only gave me the dubbed option. I am a die hard subs gal and I can’t believe they don’t offer the original Japanese audio. I still watched it but I was mad about it the WHOLE TIME.

The best version of Alien3 is Pat Cadigan's novel, based on William Gibson's unproduced screenplay. It's a great story that shares some of Robocop's satirical humor and has a lot of fun action.

Matt’s body swap sex joke is an actual movie. It’s called The Secret with David Duchovny as the dad and Olivia Thirlby as the daughter. The wife dies and her spirit goes into the daughter’s body. There’s a part where the dad and wife/daughter almost bang.

if Nick’s interested in another romcom airing for this season, Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines has been fantastic so far. beautiful animation, really compelling story and characters. and if you guys are interested in doing something lighter but still action-focused for the show, last season’s Wind Breaker was a great time. Shangri-La Frontier from a while back was also very good (and video game related!) but is 24 episodes instead of 12. the Dandadan anime will also be coming next season and looks super promising! one of the coolest shonen series currently running

I HIGHLY recommend anyone that likes rom coms, or just comedies in general, watch Kaguya-sama: Love Is War if you haven't already. I laughed out loud damn near every episode. Multiple times I had to rewind because I missed something due to laughing so hard! I've watched every episode and the movie both subbed and dubbed, and I'm here to tell you, the dub is the better version. Normally I don't pick a side on the dub vs. sub war - whatever you prefer matters not to me - but this show is one of the rare exceptions where I have to take a stand. The narrator alone makes the dub five times better than the sub and the rest of the cast absolutely nail their characters as well. Do not sleep on this gem of an anime!

Stoked to hear you guys are covering Violet Evergarden next! The show made me cry like five times and the movie triggered the waterworks another three times. My recommendation would be to watch the series, including the bonus episode, and then watch the second movie, which finishes off the story. The first movie, titled Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll, is more like a side story and isn't necessary for the story, and frankly isn't as good as the rest of the show in my opinion. Also, Netflix made a movie cut of the original series and I think it's the inferior version, so make sure you don't accidentally watch that instead.

I fell asleep during the last 30 minutes of the movie and content to just listen to the description of it from you. I do hope you bust out Ghost in the Shell:Stand Alone Complex or GitS:SAC in the future so I can rewatch it. I love the opening song and just stumbled upon it again after YouTube recommended it to me 2 weeks ago. It's not only polish or Russian, but has English and Latin in it as well. I had that song in heavy rotation for a time. Then there is fish~silent cruise that played after it on the soundtrack and it makes me want to make a movie with that song playing in it somewhere as part of the climax.

Plus the other idea of just telling people about the body swap kind of happened in ‘Freaky’ starring Vince Vaughan, where he (a serial killer) swaps bodies with a teenage girl, then instantly just tries to talk to his friends at school about what happened

Chihayafuru is perhaps one of my most rewatched shows of the past decade or so. Love it so much, and really happy to hear Heather shout it out. It inhabits an interesting space genre-wise, particularly with its Sports series qualities, which makes it fun to then reduce the show to something like “a competitive classics poetry based card game” and figure out how it can work so well despite how it might read on paper.

I know Im a little late to this but Matt if you're interested in getting into Gunpla (putting together plastic models of gundam figures) then there's a few things you should know beforehand. The models are generally broken into several different grades which determine how big and generally how difficult a model will be. Entry grade (EG) is the easiest grade to build and are 1/144 in size to the actual gundams. Meaning most will be as tall as your hand is long. These require no tools to build and as the name implies are the easiest to build. The next grade up is High Grade (HG) these require a cutting tool to release them from their plastic holds. To build these I would suggest buying a pair of nippers online along with an exacto knife and a glass file. These tools will take care of excess plastic on the pieces that you'll need to cut, shave, and file down. You'll need to do this with all models past this point. The EG models don't need that kind of work and pop out of their plastic and right into each other. Real Grade (RG) is the step above HG. These are way more detailed than there HG counterparts but the same size. From there you get to Master Grade (MG) which are 1/100 in scale. These are the big boys and where the models start to get expensive. Past that is Perfect Grade. There are only a handful of these models and they are the top of the line biggest and most detailed models you can get. They run around $300 while most HGs are around $20 to $40. If you look up the tools I listed on Amazon just put gunpla In front while searching and you'll get results for that specific use. Besides that picking out which ones you want is a breeze. You can look up 8th mobile team gunpla and find every single one from the series in HG form. The r/gunpla subreddit is a great place to learn. One of the best communities on Reddit hands down. Everyone's chill as hell

I'd like to offer a counterpoint about this movie: It rocks

I like this movie because Batou is my guy, and Epcar is a great actor. Ghost in the Shell: 2–Innocence, a companion novel, rocks, and I think is better. Stand Alone Complex is the best form of GITS, though. Platonic ideal, and it has a couple of the best Batou-centered stories.
