We have reached the glittering grand finale of our Pride Month celebration on We Drink & We Watch Things, and we are going out in style! For our "T" selection in the lineup, we are packing our bags, boarding a battered lavender bus named Priscilla, and heading deep into the Australian outback with Stephan Elliott's iconic 1994 masterpiece, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. Pour yourself something absolutely fabulous - perhaps Lemar's It's Not Purple, It's Lavender cocktail - as we journey into the heart of the desert, where the heels are high and the survival instincts are higher.This week, we celebrate the extraordinary trio at the center of this road trip: Hugo Weaving's conflicted Tick/Mitzi, Guy Pearce's chaotic, high-energy Adam/Felicia, and Terrence Stamp's absolutely sublime, deeply dignified performance as Bernadette, a trans woman navigating grief and a world that rarely understands her. We bask in the film's legendary visual triumphs - from the towering silver lamé gown on top of the bus to the jaw-dropping lip-sync numbers in the middle of nowhere - and break down Oscar-winning costumes that managed to turn flip-flops into high fashion. Most importantly, we examine the film's striking balance between brilliant camp comedy and raw, necessary commentary on homophobia, transphobia, and the revolutionary act of queer joy simply refusing to hide.If you've ever wanted to watch three drag queens conquer the outback to the tune of Gloria Gaynor, or if you just want to hear us rave about a film that changed the landscape of queer cinema forever, this is the curtain call you've been waiting for. We're blending our deep adoration for this vibrant classic with our usual casual banter to bring our Pride Month run to a triumphant, sequin-covered close. Finally, a fabulous ending!This episode VIDEO is live on YouTube AND Spotify!Follow us on Instagram to get ep sneak peaks and find out what's coming up.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright tackle the much-maligned middle child of the Matrix trilogy, the 2003 Wachowski sequel starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Hugo Weaving. Burning Bright admits he used to dismiss this one entirely, but a fresh rewatch reveals a film that is not dumb at all, just trying to wrestle with much harder ideas than the original. The guys dig into the philosophical bedrock the film sits on, including Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation and what it means to live in a hyperreality where signs replace the thing itself. They unpack why Zion is presented as such a hedonistic, animalistic place, and whether the Wachowskis really intended it to be the paradise worth saving. From there, they work through the Architect scene as a meditation on how systems build their own opposition into themselves, the Oracle as a mirror for the Q drops, the Merovingian as a possible fallen prior One and a Lucifer figure in the underworld of the matrix, and Neo's final choice to save Trinity as the only morally coherent rejection of the system.

“HE WAS ALL OF US.“Hello everyone! We are back to talk about another film that may have aged a little better than we hoped, and we might all be worse off for that. We are talking about 2005's V For Vendetta, directed by James McTeague, starring Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving, written by one of the podcast's favorite sibling duos, the Wachowski sisters! On this episode we talk about just how relevant the film feels, especially while living in America. In the world of V, we are living in a fascist, police state, ravaged by a viral outbreak, with state sponsored media spreading fear and propaganda, an authoritarian government seizing personal freedoms while the oligarch class is protected and reaping all the benefits of their crimes against humanity. An all too familiar world for anyone not living under a rock. Even though the original Alan Moore graphic novel was written in response to Margaret Thatcher's Britain in the 1980's, and the Wachowski's screenplay was written perhaps in response to the 2nd (or rather, 3rd) Bush Administration, perhaps the heart of the story is what it takes to survive these oppressive regimes.Speaking of Alan Moore, we talk about why the acclaimed graphic novel writer distanced himself from the film. When the frequent Wachowski collaborator and producer Alan Silver claimed Moore gave the film his blessing, which he did not, Moore asked for his name to be removed from the credits. Even still, Moore rejected the script itself and when we examine the differences between the film and source material we can see why. Both the graphic novel and film can be seen as separate, complimentary stories, but are so vastly difference that we can't really say it's a “good adaptation,” despite being fond of both. Listen to the full episode for more on this!We also talk about what the Wachowskis bring to the film. It wasn't directed by them, but by their assistant director from the Matrix Trilogy, James McTeague. Still, we can still feel their influence in what segments get special attention, the montages, and how we experience time and how everything is connected.Putting this film together, with who was involved, who was cast, when it was filmed, where it was filmed.. there are so many connections and references that we don't even get into all of it. Despite being a little sillier in some places, more digestible than something as heavy and poignant as Andor (which Austin HIGHLY recommends,) the film delivers some moments that may never be forgot.You can listen to this episode ANYWHERE you get your podcasts!

We're on to part 3: The Matrix Revolutions! If you were hoping for answers to some of the questions left over from the previous installments, you may be disappointed. But, if you're looking for a film that contradicts and undermines the previous works plus an episode where we slowly go mad trying to keep the rules straight, we have just the thing for you! I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha and Indy Randhawa The Matrix Revolutions is a 2003 American science fiction action film written and directed by the Wachowskis. It is the third film in The Matrix film series, shot back-to-back with The Matrix Reloaded (2003). It stars Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Welcome to PTBN Pop's Movie Review of The Day! Every weekday we will be reviewing a movie whether it be currently in theaters, featured on streaming or just a film that we hold near and dear to us.

On today's episode, Steve Riddle is reviewing “Hacksaw Ridge” from 2016 starring Andrew Garfield, Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, Hugo Weaving & Rachel Griffiths.

We continue our Matrix journey with The Matrix Reloaded. Will it live up to the hype of the classic first movie? Will we find out what The Matrix really is? Is Neo the One? What happened to all the Indian people? Can robots be smug and jealous? All these questions and more will be answered in this episode! Probably.

Shauna and Olivia want to share their favorite movies with each other, and you! Up first is Shauna's favorite movie, V for Vendetta. Released in 2006, V for Vendetta was based on the DC/Vertigo comic series by Alan Moore and David Lloyd. Directed by James McTeigue and written by the Wachowskis, V for Vendetta stars Hugo Weaving as the masked V, Natalie Portman as Evey, and a veritable who's who of British actors (mostly male) including John Hurt, Rupert Graves, Stephen Fry and Stephen Rea. The Junkies discuss the plot (spoilers abound, so be sure you've seen it before listening), the characters, the romance, the themes, and the stunning parallels between a movie released 20 years ago and today's political landscape. We have affordable and rewarding Patreon tiers!

V de Venganza. Veinte años de revolución Un revolucionario anarquista se enfrenta a un estado fascista. Él, simplemente conocido como V, quiere liberar a Inglaterra del totalitarismo y la intolerancia, y con ella, levantar al mundo entero. Pero su camino estará lleno de dificultades muy difíciles de prever. El rodaje de V de Venganza, la película que cuenta esa historia, también estuvo lleno de penurias, desde un guion rechazado por Alan Moore –porque según él se separaba demasiado del cómic escrito por él y que fue la inspiración para la película–, hasta un rudo proceso de doblaje de los diálogos de nuestro anti héroe, encarnado por Hugo Weaving. Ligada a Matrix en más de un sentido, muy aplaudida en su estreno, revisada con devoción por hordas de fans, V de Venganza cumple 20 años y para celebrarlo es que hacemos este episodio del podcast Cinegarage. El invitado no podía ser otro que Cha, que además de integrante de Fobia y Gran Sur, es especialista y conocedor del mundo del cómic y fan de V de Venganza, una historia explosiva, como un Judas gordo de semana santa.

Shane Carruth and his buddy build a time machine for $7,000 in a time when such things were possible. Joe & Adam reflect on Primer, a great or unnecessarily complicated film depending on who you ask. Primer was a darling of Independent cinema in 2004, and holds a place in the hearts of many hard sci-fi fans. This episode includes a discussion about time travel, and a series of impersonations of Hugo Weaving as the Agent from The Matrix.

Paul Kelly is a bona fide legend. The singer and songwriter from Australia who has been writing and performing songs that dive deep into the human condition as well as anyone for over for decades. His song "How To Make Gravy" is so iconic it has spawned an unoffical holidy in Australia, Gravy Day, and a feature film starring Hugo Weaving.  Kelly has written a memoir, racked up shelves worth of Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards, and is likely among your favorite songwriter's favorite songwriters. His latest album Seventy is a masterful collection of songs which includes "Rita Wrote a Letter," which is the sequel to 1992's "How To Make Gravy." Y'all, I have worn out this CD in my car and it is an enormous honor to bring you my conversation with Paul Kelly.

Municipalities, start your engines!! Or… get ready to eat each other? We're finishing off our Rings series today with the final (?) major live action narrative production from Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and the whole WETA gang. It may not be Tolkien-related, but hey, Hugo Weaving wields a blade in it! It's tragic that the film didn't start a new era for Jackson, and we're sorting through its disastrous box office fallout this week along with some predictions for what the future has in store for WETA. Next week, we close the book on Tolkien once and for all with our series finale (including some thoughts on WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM) and an announcement for what comes next!

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to hear such podcasts. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is whether to twist and ka-chunk the cruciform keys given to us." That's right baby, we're back! In an episode they're calling "severely delayed by illness, auditions and the Olympics" we're opening up the doors to the vault and inducting Peter Jackson's 2001 classic The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring into the podcast canon, fresh on the heels of its 25th anniversary theatrical re-release. Fellowship was directed by Peter Jackson, written by Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens (off the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien) and stars Elijah Wood, Ian McKellan, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Sean Bean, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, John Rhys-Davies, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Liv Tyler, and Andy Serkis. It's a movie that J Mo has now seen seven times in theaters, and one Hayley recently got engaged while in the middle of watching, so suffice to say this is a very special movie for both of us. We talk all about that and more, so get into it! No clue when we'll be back, but thanks for sticking with us, we love you.

In this episode, we break down V for Vendetta — a political thriller that feels more relevant today than ever before. We explore the film's themes of control, freedom, rebellion, and identity, and analyze how it uses symbolism to comment on government, fear, and power. We also dive into Hugo Weaving's incredible performance as V, Natalie Portman's transformation, and how the film's message has evolved in modern culture. From the meaning behind the mask to the lasting impact of its ideas, this is one of the most powerful breakdowns we've done yet.   Chapters: 00:00 What do the Wachowski's know about the future 10:15 Evey's story starts after this movie 15:23 Does he have super strength? 20:03 There is V in almost every scene 27:28 The High Chancellor is methed out 34:42 A crazy plot twist out of nowhere 40:21 Going bald for a role is commitment 42:22 The insane fire stunt in this movie 46:26 The cool structure of the secret government 48:53 Connections to The Matrix & cool details 56:39 Our official rating & final thoughts 1:03:02 Cue the music

In 2010 Universal took another step towards rebooting the Dark Universe with a straight shot at a remake of the 1941 classic The Wolf Man starring Lon Chaney Jr. This time starring Benecio del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt and Hugo Weaving and with the late addition direction of Joe Johnston it does manage to capture some of the magic of a classic monster movie. But also it's not that good even though Mason liked it.
