Trigger Warnings for more or less the whole span of this episode, the shorts we cover in this episode deal heavily with the concepts of genocide, suicide, and contains lots of graphic imagery. Ella and Hope begin the quest to talk about all the peripheral media released in 2003 for The Matrix sequels! They cover The Final Flight of the Osiris, The Second Renaissance Parts 1 & 2, and Kid's Story. @MatrixQueerPod on IG/TwitterElla Cesari ishttps://twitter.com/drawnwithoutrefhttps://instagram.com/drawnwithoutrefhttps://ellacesari.weebly.comHope Lichtner is@HopeLichtner on IG/Tumblr/AO3. good luck!The Matrix music, clips and dialogue are all copyright Warner Brothers and we own NONE of it.contact us at matrixreclamationspod@gmail.com

This episode was inevitable.Hope and Ella talk about their favorite Agent, Smith! They talk about Smith A LOT. They barely get through his wikipedia in this first half of a TWO PART SMITH SPECIAL, part 2 of which will be dropping later this month! Stick around after the awkward split down the middle for a rare performance of Orson Welles reading the role of Agent Smith, and we will coincidentally thank friend of the show Stephen Foxworthy for no reason whatsoever.Stephen is @chewywalrus on most forms of social media, and you should check out his show Disenfranchised, available at your local podcast dispensary. @MatrixQueerPod on IG/TwitterElla Cesari ishttps://twitter.com/drawnwithoutrefhttps://instagram.com/drawnwithoutrefhttps://ellacesari.weebly.comHope Lichtner is@HopeLichtner on IG/Tumblr/AO3. good luck!The Matrix music, clips and dialogue are all copyright Warner Brothers and we own NONE of it.contact us at matrixreclamationspod@gmail.com@MatrixQueerPod on IG/Twitter

Ella and Hope talk about Agent Smith, Sad Morpheus, boring middle acts, loose references to Norse mythology, some truly godawful puns, Agent Smith, and one of the greatest fight sequences of all time.

The Matrix Reloaded is one of the most fascinating movies to talk about, and boy howdy do we get into it! Hope and Ella talk sequel expectations, Smith, disappointments, rough and tumble early 2000's CGI, Smith, old white men in suits, Smith, monsters and the mashing thereof, Smith, binaries, cycles, more dodgy CGI, and Smith. Ergo, open your ears vis-a-vis your podcatcher of choice and concordantly crack open that thesaurus because you'll need it to understand one of the most confounding action movies of all time. @MatrixQueerPod on IG/Twittercontact us at matrixreclamationspod@gmail.comElla Cesari ishttps://twitter.com/drawnwithoutrefhttps://instagram.com/drawnwithoutrefhttps://ellacesari.weebly.comHope Lichtner is@HopeLichtner on IG/Tumblr/AO3. good luck!The Matrix music, clips and dialogue are all copyright Warner Brothers and we own NONE of it.

Hope is fairly sleep deprived, and Ella brings her A-Game to the Pun War as our Neo-ologists try to recap one of the most iconic movies of all time, 1999's The Matrix.
