No Highway Option

THE MATRIX: An Open Plea to Richard Ayoade (with Kory Louko)


Listen Later

You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. You take the pale yellow Corona-colored pill - you listen to an episode of No Highway Option talking about one of the most legendary Sci-Fi movies of all time.

Weird choice, if you take the podcast pill.


KORY LOUKO returns (and you can actually hear her the whole time this time!) to join the boys in their back-to-back Wachowski weeks and discuss 1999's THE MATRIX! It's our second time journeying into The Matrix, technically, but our first time spending an entire movie there. Can YOU remember which movie we covered first?


Join them as they answer such questions as: Are the WGA and SAG Strikes resolved yet? (As of this writing: not yet. Pay your writers and actors!!!) How deep are the Wachowskis' stories? Has this movie's CGI aged well? Are there different reads on this movie now that both directors have transitioned? Which pill would we take? and Why did so many kids movies and TV parody this R-Rated movie? among many others...
