b"Episode Summary: Kyle, Drew, and Phil were asking for a brain bruising when they decided to do this matchup. The Matrix carries its equal weight in philosophy as it does innovative action and camerawork. The only film that comes close in recent years is Inception. Both require multiple watches to understand. Typically, the first viewing amazes with their visuals. However, you are left scratching your head at the meaning of it all. The guys do their most research to date in order to do these titans justice. The story hook is summarized by two protagonists traversing alternate realities in pursuit of their own version of personal freedom. Truth is uncomfortable and unsettling. Dom(Inception) and Neo(The Matrix) push every boundary to accomplish those freedoms at a high cost. During randos, the guys discuss the high-powered actors who turned down the roles of Neo and Morpheus, the educational preparation that was required to make these films, the physical tole that was taken out on one star(and his stuntman), and the philosophies that drive these films. \\n\\nMovie Wars Score Card \\n\\nBest Top Bill Cast \\n\\nBest Supporting Cast \\n\\nWhich one is your wife asking for an explanation every 5 mins? \\n\\nWho's more handsome, Leo/Keanu? \\n\\nWhat's worse, being a placenta pod for a machine or losing 50 years in the subconscious \\n\\nMore badass?\\n\\nBest effects \\n\\nBest Choreography\\n\\nWho gets the award for Most Confusing? \\n\\nDom Vs.
