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.

Spaceballs holds a special place in comedy and sci-fi cinema. The iconic lines and legendary performances are still so quotable. But does the movie as a whole hold up? Jim and A.Ron are here to find out. One thing is for sure, it’s got the same level of sanity as the current Star Wars sequels.
Starship Troopers is the pulpy, sci-fi, satire that tried so hard to be a commentary that it seemed to miss its own point. From Paul Verhoeven, the director behind RoboCop (1987) and Total Recall (1990), comes a movie about bugs and fascism. Between the CGI and blatant metaphors, Jim and A.Ron explore the guts and glory of this weird adaptation.
