[Black Manta] cannot remember when he first equated him with the sea. He can only remember the hate. The hate made him want to murder the sea. He only murdered a child. No triumph in that. This time there would be triumph.

299 - The Matrix Resurrections

This week's film has Joe and Chris on opposite sides of a divisive reception. The Matrix not only revolutionized genre filmmaking in 1999, but it resulted in a resounding Oscar success. Reception to its first two sequels in 2003 was decidedly unappreciative, but the franchise has received some critical reassessment in the two decades since. Enter 2021's The Matrix Resurrections, a COVID-delayed and incredibly meta revisiting of The Wachowski's science fiction world, this time with only Lana Wachowski at the helm. The last of Warner Bros.' films to be released simultaneously in theaters and online during the pandemic, Resurrections nearly cracked craft categories, but its timing proved unfortunate.

This episode, we talk about Oscars relationship to awarding franchises and overlooking later installments. We also talk about our opposing points of view on the film, how the film incorporates new cast members as stand-ins for the original lineup, and the film's bold meta elements.

Topics also include the late 2021 box office, gay villainy, and doomscrolling.
