If you listen to one Geekscape episode this year, this should be it! 'The Matrix' was a groundbreaking film when it hit theaters in the Summer of 1999! From video games to sequels to animation (and not even mentioning all of the imitations), The Wachowski's films made a definite, lasting impact on pop culture. But for some, the messages in the film went even deeper. Writer Tilly Bridges arrives on Geekscape to talk about her new book 'Begin Transmission' and the countless trans allegories found in The Matrix films. For Tilly, the first Matrix film was an awakening journey into decoding her own trans experience. And for Geekscapists, I hope that this conversation might be and a continuation down a road of human empathy, understanding and pop culture appreciation, both inwardly and outwardly. Enjoy!
