September 24, 2019Legacy of The Matrix
This Year marks the 20th anniversary of the Matrix! We talk a lot on this podcast about the impact a film has and how that changes or influences other films over time. We are plugging in one more time to look how the past 20 years have be changes by The Matrix Franchise and whats to come for this universe.

The fourth Matrix film has been announced so we give you our predictions and speculation on how the franchise might continue plus some fun games!

The Matrix was a valuable reminder that brawn and brains don't have to be mutually exclusive in film.

The Matrix (1999) became the highest-grossing R-rated film in history, a title it held for 13 years until Deadpool happened.

By 2002, the famous " Bullet Time" sequence had been spoofed in over 20 different films.

Its really a yin and yang between the Oracle and the Architect while Neo is a refection of humanity identity and choice. LOVE is the rogue element that allows Neo to break the cycle or rebooting the matrix like all the other iterations
