The Weekly Stuff #402 – Revisiting THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS (2003)

<p>We finish our journey through the original Matrix trilogy this week with 2003’s <i>The Matrix Revolutions, </i>following up on our discussion of the original in episode #398 and <i>The Matrix Reloaded </i>in last week’s #401. We have some minor points of disagreement here, but largely share the view that <i>The Matrix </i>went out on a rousing high note, with a focused and propulsive final installment that puts big ideas front and center, and sees them through to an extremely powerful ending. It’s a great discussion, and before all that, you’ll also hear Jonathan review the (very very very bad) Marvel movie <i>Eternals, </i>Sean talk a bit more about <i>Persona 5 Royal, </i>and hear about a weird impulse buy Sean made from Japan.</p><p>Enjoy! And come back next week (on Tuesday, instead of our usual Monday) as we mark the 20th anniversary of the film <i>Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone </i>on November 16th! </p><p><strong>Time Chart:</strong></p><p>Intro: 0:00:00 – 0:03:29</p><p>Sean talks <i>Persona 5 Royal: </i>0:03:29 – 0:09:15 </p><p>Jonathan’s Giant Robots Film Club: 0:09:20 – 0:19:59</p><p><i>Eternals </i>is bad: 0:19:59 – 0:37:53</p><p>Sean’s surprise impulse purchase: 0:37:53 – 0:44:57</p><p><i>The Matrix Revolutions: </i>0:44:57 – 3:25:29</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQBqje0qmCVn0WkCXJzckaA"><strong>Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://anchor.fm/weeklysuitgundam"><strong>Subscribe to the WEEKLY SUIT GUNDAM Podcast!</strong></a></p><p><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wgtc-radio-we-got-this-covered/id535584943"><strong>Subscribe for free to 'The Weekly Stuff' in Apple Podcasts!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/JonathanLack"><strong>Follow Jonathan Lack on Twitter!</strong></a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/SeanTheChapman"><strong>Follow Sean Chapman on Twitter!</strong></a></p>
