Whoa. This week we take the Red Pill back to Newest York and the post-apocalyptic doom sewers. We’re finally talking about The Matrix, a cinematic masterpiece which as far as we can tell is all about “goopy” mirrors, dial-up modem noises, OG parkour, and kleenex sales.
The numbers, the awards, and the reasons half of us somehow missed this in theaters back in 1999 are all on the table. We wrestle with whether this really is the best thing the Wachowskis ever put their fingers into, and argue about which inside jokes deserve permanent status.
What’s it like to scream in a movie theater and have the manager show up? You’ll hear about that, plus sequels that broke us, and the deep question of whether pain in the real world hits your Matrix body too. They say to deny your impulses is to deny what makes us human, and we're not exactly in the denail business here.
