This time around the Collective dives deep into the neon-soaked world of Ghost in the Shell. From cybernetic identity crises to the haunting questions of what makes us human, we unpack how this iconic anime reshaped sci-fi and predicted our AI-driven reality. Join us as we debate consciousness uploads, digital souls, and why Major Kusanagi still hits harder than any Hollywood reboot.

Plug in, power up, and let’s go full cyberpunk. 💀💾

The Collective fires up the holoprojector and takes on Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) — yes, the movie, not the series you actually love. From baby Jabba the Hutt (a.k.a. Stinky) to Anakin suddenly being a dad, we laugh our way through the highs, lows, and “what were they thinking?” moments of this animated detour. Was this the rocky launchpad the galaxy needed, or just a weird footnote in Star Wars history? Grab your lightsaber (or your popcorn) and join us for some Jedi-level banter.

In this episode, the Collective takes to the skies with Studio Ghibli’s airborne antihero in Porco Rosso.

Gareth and Lee return to the Geeks Journal's Side Quests to take a closer (spoiler filled) look at Andor, the Star Wars series that caught everyone off guard—in the best way possible. With a more grounded story, sharp writing, and a darker tone, Andor shows us the rebellion before it had a name and a logo. The crew chats about Cassian’s journey, the rise of the Empire’s oppression, and why this series might just be one of the best things to happen to Star Wars in years.

No lightsabers? No problem. This is rebellion done right.
