Popcorn Eschaton 39 - 'Transformers The Movie' And 'Ghost In The Shell'

Robots! The insatiable maw of capitalism! Awesome tunes! Scott and John dive into the glorious 1980s toy commercial... that is also a beautifully scored and animated ride through the galaxy with wonderfully realized characters, 'Transformers: The Movie!' Then they transition to the much more muted tones, but no less beautiful and energizing, world of 'Ghost in the Shell,' a dystopian masterpiece that tackles artificial intelligence, the nature of the soul, and how capitalism steals our right to our own bodies. These movies are a lot and they ROCK! "Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong," indeed.
