Shawn Eastridge and Richie Pepio reunite to share their complicated views on Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. Is it a worthy 'conclusion' to the 'Skywalker Saga,' a complete mess, a fun diversion? All of the above? None of the above? Maybe talking about the film so soon after seeing it isn't a smart idea, but never tell them the odds.

20 years ago, a little film called The Matrix came along. The film raised the bar for action, science-fiction and special effects. More importantly, it's just so gosh darn cool. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Shawn sits down with Julia Barton, who had never seen the classic sci-fi/action film. (She didn't even know there was kung-fu involved!) Find out whether or not she enjoyed her plunge down the rabbit hole or if she would have preferred to take the blue pill.

Big thanks to listener Jonathan, who requested this episode ALL THE WAY BACK in December of last year. We're sorry it took so long!
