We tread a little new ground here, as our choice of the new release Ghost in the Shell marks the first movie we weren\u2019t fully simpatico in our desire to go see. Since Al was cautiously interested, but Anthony was much less so, it made for a different viewing and discussion experience. We open up the movie talk with a fun little tangent on the recent trends in movie trailers (it\u2019s relevant, Ghost in the Shell followed the trend) before we get to the heart of the matter. Our discussion covered a wide range of topics, including the effects of expectation on our perception of a movie we were unsure on. We dabbled in some more world building talk (it\u2019s no John Wick as Anthony would say), as well as the cinematography and visual aesthetic that makes this movie somewhat unique in the current movie landscape. Plus don\u2019t get us started (this was probably our favorite part) on the cast, which is really where this movie was at its strongest. From the stars we know (Michael Pitt sighting!), to the relative unknowns (seriously how did it take Al that long to recognize Euron Greyjoy), this cast is the life of the party on screen. Finally, we made up for the trepidation going in by drinking a beer we were both really excited to try, the inaugural and inimitable Al\u2019s Ales Reserve Label Russian Imperial Stout (Spoiler Alert: it was really good). SO check out this brand new offering from Flix & a Six, only on the Spinchoon!
