The Matrix Quadrilogy: A Retrospective – Phil and Chuck enter the realm of the groundbreaking sci-fi franchise that propelled “bullet time” into the lexicon of nerds everywhere!
The Matrix depicts a dystopian future in which the majority of humans reside in a simulated reality created by sentient machines to subdue the human population while using the heat and electrical activity generated by their bodies as an energy source. Twenty-three years after its debut, The Matrix stands as one of the greatest sci-fi action films, with some of the most iconic images ever to hit the silver screen.
Join Phil and Chuck for a wild ride into the reality-bending universe of The Matrix as they talk all things Neo, Morpheus, and Agent Smith… and expose the good, the bad, the ugly, and the things that just plain don’t make sense!
