"The Matrix"
b'THIS IS A PREVIEW PODCAST. NOT THE FULL REVIEW. Please check out the full podcast review on our Patreon Page by subscribing over at - https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture\\n\\nIt cannot be overstated just how groundbreaking Lana and Lilly Wachowski\'s 1999 sci-fi action masterpiece "The Matrix" was at the time of its release and how influential it has been in the years since. Its popularity has spurred multiple sequels (including a new one next week), spin-offs, and imitators across the film industry who tried to replicate the lightning in a bottle the sisters caught. Starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, and Joe Pantoliano in iconic roles, the film either turned them into household names or cemented their reputations. Twenty-two years later, we decided to go back to the Matrix and discuss the first film\'s themes, action scenes, characters, visual effects (including the legendary use of "bullet-time"), its awards run, and more! Joining me for this throwback podcast review, I have Josh Parham, Lauren LaMagna & Dan Bayer. Take that red pill, plug yourself back in and enjoy!\\nCheck out more on NextBestPicture.com\\nPlease subscribe on...\\nSoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/nextbestpicturepodcast\\niTunes Podcasts - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/negs-best-film-podcast/id1087678387?mt=2\\nSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7IMIzpYehTqeUa1d9EC4jT\\nAnd be sure to help support us on Patreon for as little as $1 a month at https://www.patreon.com/NextBestPicture\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
