Episode 31: Ghost in the Shell (1995)

"What if a cyber brain could possibly generate its own ghost, create a soul all by itself? And if it did, just what would be the importance of being human then?" Join Aaron and James this week as they explore the influential animated film adaptation of the classic manga. Armed with paranoia, existential dread, and a shaky grasp on what it means to be human, your hosts journey to dissect the film and its themes, while stopping along the way to think about whether they’d welcome cybernetic enhancements of their own. (Spoiler: They wouldn't.)
