The Ghost in the Shell saga continues with Mamoru Oshii's sequel to the 1995 cyberpunk classic. Ghost in the Shell 2 is an incredibly ambitious (and expensive) film, yet it can come across as a bit unfriendly to general audiences due to its dense narrative themes and trippy visuals.
And in the more than twenty years since Innocence's theatrical release, the project has yet to re-coup its production budget.

Surprise! This was originally a bonus topic, but the more I spent time editing the audio and listening to the conversation, the stronger I felt this was deserving of a proper episode!
Today I am joined by fellow birdbrain, Jo Wildcard, to discuss a show from a genre we typically ignore, Shangri-La Frontier! It just goes to show, sometimes all you need to get into a series is a masked man in boxer briefs drop kicking an elf in slow motion, no I am not providing context!
Introduction = 0:00-19:35
Listener Spotlight = 19:36-27:44
Main Topic = 27:45 - end
Wildcard recommends you check out the Retrotopia podcast, and I agree!
