Happy Thursday Reel Film Nerds (You not us)! Today we review a truly nerdy and classic film in celebration of it’s 20th anniversary, The Matrix! The guys really geek out on this one and you get an almost bonus episode of a whole hour. It is not as bad of a rant as last week when Mr. Mile High Show was guest hosting for episode #99 but it is pretty close. Special topics include cell phones, Tesla’s, and how The Matrix paved the way for today’s action and superhero films especially the MCU.
The Matrix is an incredible ground breaking film. It has aged pretty well but there are a few missteps especially with the CGI. CGI was still pretty much in its infancy though so you can’t be too tough on the film. Mike Talent loves this movie almost as much as he loves Jaws and we all know how much he loves that film. Mike gives the Wachowski’s epic a perfect rating with 5 out of 5 Reels!!! Matt really loves The Matrix but noticed the age of the film a bit more than Mike. He was especially put off by the floating foam scene towards the end of the film. Matt still really loves it and awards The Matrix a 4.5 out of 5 Reels!
Next week the guys review another new horror movie! Ok it is a reboot but man does it look good, Stephen King’s Pet Cemetery. They will also be chatting about a brand new Netflix original starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson, The Highwaymen based around the Bonnie and Clyde story. Don’t forget to write in and let us know how we are doing and send us your theories on Jordan Peele’s Us or any other film we have reviewed. Heck just send us any old question you have and we will read and answer it in a future pod. Thanks for tuning in for a super nerdy podcast and we will chat at you on Tuesday!
