This week our discussion of The Matrix veers into those topics you're not supposed to discuss at a dinner party: politics, as explored through the films' connections with Erin's current anime obsessions; and religion, specifically Rhonda's experiences watching The Matrix at her church youth group in 2004. 

Read more about The Animatrix here, and about the 1980s anime that influenced The Matrix here. The Matrix Fandom Wiki has just tiny bit of content on the religious symbolism, but this BBC News article goes a lot more in-depth. Anyone want to read The Gospel Reloaded and report back?
