Episode 189: Ghost in the Shell Is a Good Example of Why You Shouldn't Judge a Movie Before Seeing It

Hello and welcome back!  For this week's show we bring you our spoiler free and spoiler filled review of Ghost in the Shell.  Sorry for the long title but if you listen to our spoiler free review, or see the movie yourself, I think you'll understand the long ass title and why it fits this movie.  We review our streaming movie, Keanu and deep dive into nerd news including the trailer to IT along with some good 'oll free shit good shit. Lastly we wrap everything up with answers from this week's Podquestion of what was your favorite childhood live action show.  Oh yeah, and go ahead and steal our T-shirt idea... but send us 2 shirts please.  #BigItFan #NotABigItFan 

This week's recommendation of Keanu was my choice... and I kind of regret it.  Bat and I both agreed that this was a bad movie.  I can't tell you exactly what I was expecting but it wasn't this movie.  For a comedy, neither of us could remember a single time we laughed.  The best way I could put it was that this seemed like a silly 3-5 minute skit that shouldn't have been expanded into a full length movie.  We both gave it a 2/5 and highly recommend you skip this one and save yourself a little over an hour and a half.

 

This week's recommendation is Bat's choice and he wants us to watch Ratchet and Clank on Netflix.  We both have heard pretty negative reviews but are looking forward to giving it a shot.  You cam find this one on Netflix.

You can suggest a streaming movie that you want us to watch and review on future episodes that are on Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime or HBOgo.
