Bald Move Pulp - The Matrix (1999) – 25th Anniversary Rerelease

Why is The Matrix a big deal? Find out in this rerelease in honor of the movie’s 25th anniversary.
Thanks to Jefferson Betmarik for making us pull 1999’s The Matrix off our shelves and talk about it. This movie was directed by the Wachowski siblings, and stars Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, and Carrie-Anne Moss among others. Jim and I have watched this movie so much, and spent so much time talking about it over the years, so it’s no surprise that we were able to easily fill 1:20 with our personal thoughts and observations. What surprised is was how many new thoughts and ideas we had from our latest watch. We had a lot of fun revisiting the movie, and I hope you get a kick out of listening.
Thanks again, Jefferson! If you’d like to find out how you can commission your very own podcast, check out our shop page for all the details.

Love Lies Bleeding (2024)

Love Lies Bleeding (2024) is a body-building, sapphic romance with unexpected turns. Katy O’Brian is on track to become a 3C Badass. From director Rose Glass (Saint Maud) comes a darkly funny and action-packed movie that transforms as the characters do. It’s bad haircuts all around, but it’s the 80s, what do you expect? Blink if you’re ok, Kristen.
