Exactly one year before The Matrix Resurrections' release, Jackson Smith of Nightfall Entertainment joined Close Watch -- then the Crooked Table Podcast -- to discuss The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. Now Franchise Detours looks back at that epic three-hour conversation. We'll discuss why The Matrix sequels are underappreciated, where the trilogy sits within cinema history, and look forward to what comes next. SYNOPSIS The Matrix Reloaded: Freedom fighters Neo (Keanu Reeves), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) continue to lead the revolt against the Machine Army, unleashing their arsenal of extraordinary skills and weaponry against the systematic forces of repression and exploitation. In their quest to save the human race from extinction, they gain greater insight into the construct of The Matrix and Neo's pivotal role in the fate of mankind. The Matrix Revolutions: In a dystopia overrun by robots, Neo (Keanu Reeves), mankind's greatest hope, is trapped in a limbo world. Meanwhile, the majority of the planet's population remains in a state of suspended virtual reality. The few humans who are cognizant of the grim realities of the world desperately try to hold off their mechanical enemies long enough for Neo to escape and save the day, but things turn disastrous when all-powerful computer program Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) arrives in the flesh.

In 2019, Freddy Yaniz joined Close Watch -- then the Crooked Table Podcast -- for an in-depth discussion of The Matrix. Now, with the release of The Matrix Resurrections, Franchise Detours looks back at that chat. In this special encore episode, we discuss the profound impact The Matrix had on us personally, how its legacy has impacted Hollywood, and why the movie continues to inspire fans more than two decades after its release. SYNOPSIS Neo (Keanu Reeves) believes that Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) -- an elusive figure considered to be the most dangerous man alive -- can answer his question: "What is the Matrix?" Neo is contacted by Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), a beautiful stranger who leads him into an underworld where he meets Morpheus. They fight a brutal battle for their lives against a cadre of viciously intelligent secret agents. It is a truth that could cost Neo something more precious than his life.

In Episode 65 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. spends his All Hallow's Eve on a Halloween-timed retrospective of A Nightmare on Elm Street (and its sequels). Wes Craven (RIP) created such an indelible pop cultural icon in Freddy Krueger, and bolstered by Robert Englund and Heather Langenkamp's performances and a killer (pun intended) premise, his 1984 classic lives on as one of the most beloved horror films of all time. But does its reputation still hold true 33 years after audiences first met the Springwood Slasher? And which of his several follow-up appearances reigns supreme. Let's don our razor gloves for a trip backward in time. Down to Elm Street, where a certain infamous horror (anti-)hero awaits. Be sure to stay awake.

In Episode 64 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. gushes about the new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi and shares his thoughts on Denis Villeneuve's sweeping sci-fi epic Blade Runner 2049. Harrison Ford's shadow is sure to loom large on both films, but will these two sequels live up to the hype? In the case of the latter, let's investigate if Ryan Gosling's turn as the titular replicant hunter stands up to the 1982 Ridley Scott classic.

In Episode 62 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. and Freddy Yaniz stroll down the dark alleys of Hell's Kitchen for their long-awaited in-depth discussion of Marvel's The Defenders. Which Marvel Netflix show is their favorite one to date, and how does this team-up miniseries build upon the narrative threads and character journeys set forth in Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist? We'll get into all that and so much more, including where we're hoping to see the Netflix branch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe travel next. Synopsis courtesy of Netflix: Marvel's The Defenders follows Daredevil AKA Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Iron Fist AKA Danny Rand (Finn Jones), a quartet of singular heroes with one common goal – to save New York City.

In Episode 61 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. shares his reaction to the first two episodes of Amazon's new series The Tick, based on the popular comic book. Then he reviews the new Steven Soderbergh heist comedy Logan Lucky, which sees Magic Mike (Channing Tatum) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) recruit James Bond (Daniel Craig) to rob a major NASCAR event. Does this stripped-down Ocean's Eleven riff work as a satisfying caper, or does it feel like a road too often traveled? Let's discuss!

In Episode 60 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. visits the way-back machine to discuss two phenomena of his youth or, more specifically, the year 1987. As cult classic and perennial Halloween favorite The Monster Squad celebrates 30 years since its initial theatrical release, Disney XD launches its much-anticipated reboot of popular animated series DuckTales ("Woo-oo!"). It's as if 1987 is some kind of focal point, connecting the entertainment of the past to the present in some meaningful way. Or, at the very least, it's a good opportunity to create the most unlikely pairing ever to hit the Crooked Table Podcast. So let's gather up the Monster Squad and head to Duckburg because, '87, it's your time to shine.  We're excited to hear your feedback as the Crooked Table Podcast continues to evolve.

In Episode 59 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. closes the book on the 2017 summer movie season with some arbitrary awards. The past few months have brought an interesting blend of franchise and original fare, with surprising standouts emerging on both sides. So, as The Dark Tower looms essentially as the last big tentpole of the season, let's review some of the films that had critics and audiences talking since May. With any luck, the rest of 2017 will offer just as much to break down and obsess over as the year to date. Considering that new films from Marvel, DC and Star Wars are among the most anticipated, it's looking likely that 2017 will keep up the momentum it has developed so far.

In Episode 58 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. finally catches up with the critically acclaimed new film from writer/director Christopher Nolan, Dunkirk. The film features an ensemble cast that includes Fionn Whitehead, Tom Hardy, Kenneth Branagh, James D'Arcy, Cillian Murphy, Harry Styles (yes, that Harry Styles) and Mark Rylance. With rich subject matter and his usual flair behind the camera, Nolan could be poised to add another classic to his already impressive resume following hits like Memento, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight and Inception. But does Dunkirk live up to its pedigree or fail to deliver the experience longtime Nolan fans are expecting? In addition, be sure to check out the brand-new episode of the Cinemaholics podcast to hear Rob's thoughts on the new David Leitch film Atomic Blonde -- starring Charlize Theron and James McAvoy -- and Marvel's The Defenders, the long-awaited Netflix miniseries uniting Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist for the first time.

In Episode 57 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. sifts through mountains of Judd Apatow-produced films to find the very best of the bunch in a new edition of Let's Talk About SIX. From The 40-Year-Old Virgin to Trainwreck, Apatow has directed some of the best comedies of the 2000s, but his producing credits reach even deeper than his directorial efforts. His latest, The Big Sick, is becoming one of the most talked-about films of the year, but does the Michael Showalter film, starring Kumail Nanjiani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter and Ray Romano really live up to all the hype preceding its wide release?

In Episode 56 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. and Freddy Yaniz catch up some popular recent releases, namely writer/director Edgar Wright's pseudo-action musical Baby Driver and Illumination Entertainment's latest Minion-fest Despicable Me 3. Then, it's on to the battle between humans and apes in the trilogy-capping War for the Planet of the Apes. Andy Serkis reprises his lead role as ape leader Caesar -- thanks to the miracle of motion-capture technology -- as the character faces a fearsome new adversary in The Colonel (Woody Harrelson). Of course, this marks the ninth entry in the long-running Planet of the Apes franchise, but director Matt Reeves' film truly marks a conclusion to the storyline that began in 2011's Rise of the Planet of the Apes and continued in Reeves' own Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. But will this third installment in the rebooted series be its finest hour yet? War for the Planet of the Apes synopsis courtesy of 20th Century Fox: In War for the Planet of the Apes, the third chapter of the critically acclaimed blockbuster franchise, Caesar (Andy Serkis) and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel (Woody Harrelson).  After the apes suffer unimaginable losses, Caesar wrestles with his darker instincts and begins his own mythic quest to avenge his kind.  As the journey finally brings them face to face, Caesar and the Colonel are pitted against each other in an epic battle that will determine the fate of both their species and the future of the planet.

In Episode 55 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. welcomes Freddy Yaniz back to the show after a lengthy hiatus to talk (of course) the latest chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Listen in as they talk all things Spider-Man and celebrate the webslinger's full emergence as a central figure in the MCU with Spider-Man: Homecoming. The Jon Watts-directed film -- which sees Tom Holland return to the role of Peter Parker opposite Michael Keaton's The Vulture -- marks the sixth Spider-Man film in 15 years, but is it a return to form for the iconic hero after an extended period of subpar big-screen solo films? Spider-Man Homecoming synopsis courtesy of Sony Pictures: A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming.  Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.

In Episode 52 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. uncovers director Alex Kurtzman's new take on The Mummy, starring Tom Cruise and Sofia Boutella. The film is, of course, intended to kick off Universal's monster-centric Dark Universe. We'll investigate whether The Mummy provides a solid foundation for what's to come as well as how it stacks up against the 1999 edition, which saw Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz bring the classic tale to the modern age. Also: Rob reviews A24's latest, director Trey Edward Shults' It Comes At Night starring Joel Edgerton, and discusses his thoughts on the latest news surrounding X-Men: Dark Phoenix. It's a jam-packed episode of the Crooked Table Podcast. So let's get to it before a certain Egyptian princess catches up with us. We're excited to hear your feedback as the show continues to evolve. As usual, the podcast does feature explicit language and, as such, is best considered NSFW. Synopsis for The Mummy, courtesy of Universal Pictures: Tom Cruise headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures all over the world since the dawn of civilization: The Mummy. Thought safely entombed in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension. From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters. Cruise is joined by a cast including Annabelle Wallis (upcoming King Arthur, television's Peaky Blinders), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Courtney B. Vance (TV's American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson), Marwan Kenzari (The Promise) and Oscar®winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator). The creative team on this action-adventure event is led by director/producer Alex Kurtzman and producer Chris Morgan, who have been instrumental in growing some of the most successful franchises of the past several years—with Kurtzman writing or producing entries in the Transformers, Star Trek and Mission: Impossible series, and Morgan being the narrative engineer of the Fast & Furious saga as it has experienced explosive growth from its third chapter on.  Sean Daniel, who produced the most recent Mummy trilogy, and Sarah Bradshaw (Maleficent) produce alongside Kurtzman and Morgan.

In Episode 51 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. finally reunites on the show with Kai (along with their infant daughter) to discuss director Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman film starring Gal Gadot and Chris Pine. Will the film finally mark a decisive win for the DC Extended Universe after films like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad, or will it prove to be an underwhelming attempt to deliver a successful female-led comic book film? After all, between Supergirl, Catwoman and Elektra, the ladies have had a rough time of it on the big screen. Fingers crossed that Diana Prince's first solo adventure is worth the wait.

In Episode 49 of the Crooked Table Podcast, Robert Yaniz Jr. takes to the high seas for his review of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. But first he looks back at star Johnny Depp's most surprising roles with another round of Let's Talk About SIX. So, is Jack Sparrow better the fifth time around? Listen for yourself. Yo ho, yo ho and all that... Film synopsis, courtesy of Disney: Johnny Depp returns to the big screen as the iconic, swashbuckling anti-hero Jack Sparrow in the all-new “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.” The rip-roaring adventure finds down-on-his-luck Captain Jack feeling the winds of ill-fortune blowing strongly his way when deadly ghost sailors, led by the terrifying Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from the Devil's Triangle bent on killing every pirate at sea—notably Jack. Jack's only hope of survival lies in the legendary Trident of Poseidon, but to find it he must forge an uneasy alliance with Carina Smyth (Kaya Scodelario), a brilliant and beautiful astronomer, and Henry (Brenton Thwaites), a headstrong young sailor in the Royal Navy. At the helm of the Dying Gull, his pitifully small and shabby ship, Captain Jack seeks not only to reverse his recent spate of ill fortune, but to save his very life from the most formidable and malicious foe he has ever faced.
