About this listen

In this episode, we dive deep into the 2017 live-action adaptation of Ghost in the Shell, a film that sparked intense debate and widespread controversy from the moment it was announced. We explore how the movie attempts to reimagine the iconic anime for a Western audience, the complexities of its casting choices—especially the backlash surrounding Scarlett Johansson’s role—and whether the film succeeds in capturing the philosophical and cyberpunk essence of the original. Join us as we dissect the visual style, narrative structure, and cultural implications of this polarizing adaptation.
