Hello everyone!!


We're talking about another classic today, but for sci-fi, it's the 1995 anime film of Ghost in the Shell!


Time to talk about one of the most iconic cyberpunk objects there are, and for good reason. Quite a lot to go over when thinking of bodily relations and representation, identity, the urban landscape and, of course, a whole heap of gender. And it's great!


It's a phenomenal film, and we're finally spending some time on it.


Enjoy!
