Andi and\xa0Lise\xa0enthusiastically re-watched the\xa0sci\xa0fi\xa0dystopic\xa0action movie The Matrix (1999) to determine how well it holds up 21 years after its release. The movie became a sensation (still is) and they\u2019ll tell you why it still holds up in most ways and things they noticed with\xa0their\xa02022 perceptions (as opposed to their 1999 perceptions) that they thought were problematic.\xa0
