Intro: Ghost in the Shell and Babylon A.D.

With both Scarlett Johansson's whitewashed Ghost in the Shell and Vin Deisel's latest entry in the Fast and the Furious franchise, we decided to marry those contexts by catching up with the original anime-ted GHOST IN THE SHELL adaptation and a literally forgotten Vin Deisel sci-fi adventure called BABYLON A.D., adapted from a novel called Babylon Babies (yes, that's important information). Supposedly, two of us have seen at least one of these movies each, but we're hardpressed to remember anything about them besides confusion.

So, join us on this introductory journey into the future, and come back in two weeks for our discussion of the movies after we watch them!
