Episode 229 - Batou's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 4 of 6)

On this episode, join Ed, Kate, Karen, Dennis, and Eron from Riot Games as we talk about episodes 14-17 of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone complex. This batch is all about greed, as a hit is put out on a billionaire, selling military secrets, and blackmailing the mafia. Fem uses coins for bullets (aka Cash the Stampede). We still get to bask in Olympic fever with Zaitsev, the silver medalist boxer from the Paralympics. And Aramaki's old flame has to booby trap a wine bank, Home Alone style. But the worst of it all? Something is up with the Tachikoma. 0:00:00 - Intro & Some Anime News 0:18:35 - The Watchlist 0:32:30 - Eron's GitS:SAC History 0:36:35 - EP14: ¥€$ 0:57:02 - EP15: Machines Desirantés 1:19:24 - EP16: Ag2-O 1:44:25 - EP17: Angel's Share 2:12:39 - Final Thoughts & Kanpai Special thanks to Eron (@eron_rauch) for joining us again!

Episode 226 - My Special Eyes (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 1 of 6)

On this episode, join hosts Dennis, Ed, Karen, Kate, and first time special guest Jessie as we discuss the first four episodes of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. For listeners during the early years, this one has been a long time coming, so we are finally glad to start covering this one now. And even though this came out over 20 years ago, it still feels relevant to topics to today. So watch out for those cyber criminals, as we discuss robot kinks, film nerds, lots of Togusa, that one booty-shot of the Major, and getting to know a bit of Jessie's anime history! 0:00:00 - Intro & Getting to Know Jessie 0:12:54 - Some Anime News 0:26:16 - The Watchlist (New Season Start) 0:55:02 - GitS: SAC Production Notes 1:10:03 - EP01: Section 9 1:27:40 - EP02: Testation 1:42:07 - EP03: Android and I 2:04:35 - EP04: Intercepter 2:28:11 - Voices, Final Thoughts, & Kanpai Special thanks to Jessie for joining us again!
