Have you ever wondered how the Matrix came to be? Back in 2003, audiences got a Matrix overload. While the fourth Matrix film is currently either being hotly contested or quickly forgotten, there was a third Matrix film that went directly to DVD in 2003. The Animatrix is an anthology of shorts from acclaimed anime directors with the Wachowski's themselves writing almost half of the entries. Scoring high with critics and audiences, one entry got a theatrical release. Is this forgotten third Matrix film the best since the original? Join Corbin as he ventures to Japan to review The Animatrix to find out!
Question after the show: What’s your favorite short from The Animatrix?

At the end of the 1940's, Japanese artist, Osamu Tezuka released a comic titled Metropolis. He received slight inspiration from Fritz Lang's 1927 sci-fi masterpiece, but over 50 years later, a critically acclaimed team of Japanese filmmakers decided to adapt Tezuka and Lang's vision together in one truly remarkable anime. Despite this anime film not being as famous as the likes of Ghost in the Shell, Akira and Your Name. this hidden classic uniquely brings to life the thoughts of German impressionism from 80 years past, Biblical symbolism and Eastern theology in one mind-bending presentation. Join Corbin and Allen as they review Osamu Tezuka's Metropolis!
Join the discussion-Comment below! Question after the show: Would you rather watch the 1927 metropolis or the 2001 metropolis? Or are they just too different?

93 years ago...yes, you read that correctly! Nearly a century ago, German director Fritz Lang brought a monumental vision to the silver screen. The scope and cost of the film was so epic that it nearly bankrupted the studio and was considered too dense for audiences at the time. Shockingly, in one of the first instances of studio interference, the complete cut of the film was butchered and seemingly lost forever. In 2010, the full cut was found, restored and resurrected. Join Corbin and Allen as they bring you their review at long last of the film that started the science fiction/dystopian genre influencing both books and movies.

19 years after the sleeper Japanese hit, Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, South Korean filmmakers decided to retool the anime into a live action film. If you live in the US, this is a 'Netflix Original Film' fully equipped with multiple language and subtitle options (but I say the original Korean is optimal). What is most shocking is the fact this property was remade. No one was asking for it and Jin-Roh doesn't have the international footprint like Ghost in the Shell or Akira. So is this remake a smart improvement on the original or just a pale imitation? Join Corbin and Allen as they review Illang: The Wolf Brigade to find out!
Join the discussion-Comment below! Question after the show: Do the Wolf Brigade outfits look better, worse, or the same compared to the anime? Why or why not?

Hot off the success of Ghost in the Shell, famed anime creator Mamoru Oshii returned as writer to finish his trilogy based on his Kerberos Panzer Cop manga. Instead of opting for a third live action installment, he chose breathtaking, realistic animation. Drawing from European folktales and Shakespearean plays, Oshii presents a stark alternate history of WWII Japan where civil war plays out amidst a star-crossed, fateful love story. Unlike Ghost in the Shell, Dragon Ball Z or Akira, not many remember this "lost anime film." 21 years after its release, it has landed on a number of free and premium streaming platforms causing it to gain a new audience. Should this anime stay lost or have we uncovered a forgotten gem? Join Corbin and Allen as they review Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade to find out!

As per Ghost in the Shell tradition, it has been 11 years since audiences saw the beloved GitS characters on the big screen. The series had experienced much success on the small screen with a few television series. One of those series, the most recent in fact, Ghost in the Shell Arise decided to release a theatrical tie-in to cap off a storyline started in the 5th part of the Arise series. With that in mind, does this work as a standalone theatrical release, especially for those who haven't seen any of Arise? Join Corbin and Allen as they jack into their ghost to determine whether this is a worthy installment in the beloved Ghost in the Shell franchise.

Nearly a decade after Ghost in the Shell released in US theaters, the anime was on its way to becoming a cult classic, so it's no surprise Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence hit theaters with greater acclaim than its predecessor. With a returning cast and crew, this outing promised the same philosophical musings while introducing animation built off the previous installment, along with more action. Making a sequel to a classic is a tall order. So does Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence make a worthy successor to the original? Join Corbin and Allen as they discuss the movie to find out!
