Show Notes
Esther Rosenfield (@capybaroness) from Get Cynical joins us to discuss a movie... we all actually quite liked! The Robert Rodriguez directed, James Cameron produced manga adaptation of Battle Angel Alita (aka GUNNM). In this episode: Earnestness in adaptation, good action, big dick jimmy, modifiable and interchangeable bodies, trans and queer themes, differences between the film and the manga, what seperates 'good' and 'bad' CGI, and much more!
