Ep. 511 - The Matrix 20th Anniversary Retrospective (GUEST: David Sims from The Atlantic)

It’s been two decades since audiences chose the red pill and
entered the science-fiction world of The Matrix. The cast is
joined by David Sims, film critic for the Atlantic and co-host of
Blank Check podcast, to chase the white rabbit and discuss The
Matrix’s lasting impact on film culture today.





Read David Sim’s writing in The Atlantic on why a movie like The
Matrix might never be made again, Mark Harris's piece in Vulture
on how The Matrix built our reality-denying world, and Emily
Sandalwood's article in Vox on how the film influenced her own
trans experience.
