About this listen
As per usual, the episode launches with a fun recap, i.e. a description of the original VHS cover art of The Matrix (Wachowskis, 1999).
Joe hosts this week (as the film was his selection), prompting Darcy, Katie, and MJ to share their memories of seeing The Matrix in its original theatrical release.
From there, the four discuss:
- the philosophy of Baudrillard & The Matrix & his misinterpretation of Zion as "the real"
- The Matrix as trans narrative & the messy process of birthing oneself
- the wave of real-world violence in the wake of The Matrix: Columbine, the Matrix defense, and miscellaneous crimes
- the role of violent media in the edgelord to alt right/white supremacist pipeline
