Beyond the Screenplay

The BTS team jacks back into The Matrix — this time with 100% more Alex! — to discuss the film’s sense of momentum, complex themes, and what makes it so damn cool.

The BTS team discusses the film's brilliant performances, evocative cinematography, and deeper themes.

The BTS team counts down our favorite films of 1990-1998, discusses what makes various films important to each of us, and uncovers a few surprises along the way.

The BTS team discusses the film's iconic and suspenseful bathtub sequence, the different ways the film scares the viewer, and how to clean up some of the...clunkier exposition.

The BTS team discusses their first memories of watching the film, why it sits somewhere between an average B-horror flick and a "prestige" film, and how it manages to maintain tension while lacking any kind of "monster."

In this preview of our patron-exclusive episode on No Time to Die, the team shares their initial reactions to the film.
