Adam BestHOST
I like that movie.
Adam BestHOST
I think that the Wachowski siblings, not just The Matrix, but Speed Racer, Cloud Atlas – they are fearless when it comes to trying stuff.
Adam BestHOST
And I definitely think this is worth a watch because people said it was impossible to adapt.
Adam BestHOST
I mean, it's a four-hour movie, so maybe watch it like a miniseries, but it's...
Jake BostonHOST
The first one, the one that I have watched out of all of these, is Bound from the Wachowskis.
Jake BostonHOST
I'm just on a Wachowski kick right now.
Jake BostonHOST
Speed Racer is still one of my favorite physical media releases of the year so far.
Jake BostonHOST
this is now up there.
Mike Back At YouHOST
Uh, those who have been with us for a while know that on our birthdays we have a rule where we get to break the random rule and pick any non-De Niro film to recap and discuss for the podcast.
Mike Back At YouHOST
Last year, I picked the Wachowski sisters' seminal sci-fi action film The Matrix, and Mike picked the Hayao Miyazaki film Ponyo.
Mike Back At YouHOST
And this year I did weigh a few different options.
Mike Back At YouHOST
I considered Bad Boys II, Star Trek Into Darkness, and of course, The Matrix Reloaded, but ultimately, I landed on 2006's The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
Amy ScarlataHOST
I was like, I mean, I enjoyed it as an adult, but I was like, if you're like a 10 year old kid, this is fucking ripping.
Amy ScarlataHOST
And then the other day I went and saw the Wachowski's Speed Racer.
Amy ScarlataHOST
Don't ask me why.
Amy ScarlataHOST
I just did.
JorgeHOST
We didn't mention it because it's too easy.
KyleHOST
It's funny that The Matrix inspired so many video games because I feel like that movie would just not be the same way if the Wachowski sisters did not probably play a shitload of video games.
KyleHOST
So yeah, I've been thinking a lot of like...
KyleHOST
What I want to talk about in this, and I think the one I settled on, is not an obscure movie by any stretch, but Mad Max Fury Road.
Chris WilliamsHOST
[laughs]
Everett WilliamsPANELIST
The s- the second one, the second one is terrible, man.
Chris WilliamsHOST
Like I said, the Wachowskis peaked-
Tony TurnerPANELIST
I saw-
Chris WilliamsHOST
... at the first Matrix.
Kenny KatayamaHOST
Sure.
Kenny KatayamaHOST
I think somebody that watches Speed Racer, the Wachowski film, and is just like, hmm.
Kenny KatayamaHOST
I think the CGI for the time was very impressive, but there's really some fundamental issues with the plot and the pacing.
Kenny KatayamaHOST
You're not going to enjoy Speed Racer, but if you see Speed Racer for what it intended to do, its confidence in its overall atmosphere and just the way it takes itself not seriously, I think it's a very, very good movie.
Jasmine BinderHOST
Um...
Jasmine BinderHOST
Directed and written by Lana and Lily Wachowski.
Jasmine BinderHOST
Starring Jennifer Tilly, Gina Gershon, Joe Pantoliano, John Ryan, and Christopher Maloney.
Kathryn KirkHOST
Yes! What a jump scare.
Jasmine BinderHOST
Oh.
Jasmine BinderHOST
It, like, took me a minute to, like, scour the internet for, like, interviews.
Jasmine BinderHOST
Just because, for the most part, the interviews that are given about it today are largely in conversation with the Wachowski sisters about the fact that they made this movie pre-transition.
Jasmine BinderHOST
Right.

Continuing analysis of the many worlds hypothesis.
GayFeshHOST
The Wachowskis dubbed 2003 the Year of the Matrix.
GayFeshHOST
We got the two Matrix sequels released only six months apart, a tie-in game called Enter the Matrix, which included live-action footage filmed by the Wachowskis, and to some, the crown jewel of 2003 was The Animatrix, an animated anthology that teamed up with directors whose resumes included everything from Cowboy Bebop to Eon Flux to Akira.
GayFeshHOST
Welcome, everyone.
GayFeshHOST
I'm Gayfesh.
