Podcasts about The Matrix Revolutions

Liza is off riding the mountains of Pakistan again, so it's her turn to pick a favorite from the archives, and it doesn't get much better than Debbie Evans Leavitt. She's a 7 time Taurus World Stunt Award winner, she's in the AMA Hall of Fame and the Hollywood Stunt Hall of Fame. She's got almost 400 movie and TV credits to her name, and was also one of the best trials riders in the world. But for us her most notable job has been that of Trinity on the Ducati in Matrix Revolutions which I believe to be the best motorcycle stunt in the movies ever done. Debbie tells us about her dad that got her into riding when she was six, some of the highs and lows of her career, and her whole family that shares in her love of motorcycles and stunts.

As player safety continues to be the number one issue in Rugby League today our heroes are buoyed with confidence knowing the NRL will not.... ever.... compromise...... if there's a fire.Our heroes provide the CSA that there has been no crackdown, none...Crackdown here, no... The 18 sin bins last week was the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite our sincerest efforts we have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. Matrix Revolutions quotes aside, the Grapplers tackle the assertions of the NRL's top dog and turn from admiration to criticism the deeper they delve and separate themselves from comparisons with David Gallop.The player safety focus is challenged by the numbers in the NRL casualty ward and the Rabbitohs being with a 3rd of their top squad riding the pine. Far too much Broncos analysis for one, is never enough for another, as these men offer solutions for Madge's glaring absence of hookers in his squad.Rugby Australia's deal with their new coach is sealed with a Kiss, Joe Schmidt gives the resurgent men in Gold the Long Kiss Goodnight, and the Reds are Kissed on the proverbial to hold on to their coach for another year.Tom Lynagh has not been given the Kiss of Death despite what some outlets are reporting, he's just being rested, and Harry McLaughlin-Phillips is next on Kiss List.With every Kiss pun exhausted our hero's gaze turns to the Subcontinent and the actions of a young man aged between 14 and 34 who became the youngest kid in the IPL to knock a ton and in 35 balls thank you very much.Amazing considering how small the Indian junior base is. NBA, a quick lesson on vice work and a couple of charming dudes who simply want to Grapple.Like it, subscribe to it, share it, dig it. 

This is it! The end of the Matrix series, until they made another one. With Neo trapped in a cybercoma and strapped on a gurney next to a man doing a cartoonish Hugo Weaving impression, WHO will be available to speak to the big machine face and force a ceasefire before the squids interrupt the eternal raving of Zion?

Released in 1999, The Matrix has become a timeless sci-fi classic. Whether it's the groundbreaking visual effects, the positively bonkers action sequences, or the disturbing looks at a world that has been consumed by AI and virtual experiences, there's something that will resonate with just about any member of the audience, even a quarter century after its initial box office success. But there's one moment in particular that perfectly illustrates the true horror at the heart of The Matrix. Since the titular concept of the film can only exist because humans have all been placed in a form of stasis, with their very bodies used to power the machines that now rule the world and create their shared reality, the big reveal of how that works needs to be suitably disturbing. And boy, does it deliver. When Neo (Keanu Reeves) chooses to wake up to actual reality, he's revealed as a hairless body, covered in goo, with feeding and breathing tubes stuffed down his throat. While not quite the iconic moment that the bullet time fights and martial arts sequences are, it might very well be the most powerful moment in the film or its sequels.It's a moment that has stayed with us for over 25 years, which is why today we're asking the question: does the human body really generate enough electrical power to essentially serve as a battery?Take the red pill in the latest episode of Does it Fly? for the answers…https://youtu.be/9e-CZiFpd6oSUGGESTED VIEWING We based the majority of today's discussion just on the first film in the franchise, which is, of course, 1999's The Matrix. If you need a viewing order, it's followed by The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions in 2003. But we've gotta say, you're missing out if you don't check out the bizarre and cool The Animatrix, which fills in a lot of backstory. And count us among the folks who think 2021's The Matrix Resurrections is a much sharper movie than it gets credit for.FURTHER READING Do you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! The Simulation ArgumentEver wonder if you're living in a computer simulation? The roots of that argument come from Nick Bostrum and the details on it can be found here.How Much Power Output From Humans?Believe it or not, there have been respectable studies about the potential for the human body to generate power for small devices from everyday activities. A summary can be found here with some more in depth information here. Somewhat related, it's worth considering the difference between the efficiency of solar energy power and the use of power from biofuels.The Matrix Starter PackThere are three books that are key to understanding the themes of The Matrix, and it seems they were required reading on set of the film. They are: Jean Baudrillard's 1981 philosophical treatise Simulacra and Simulation, William Gibson's seminal work of cyberpunk fiction Neuromancer (which has yet to get the screen adaptation it deserves), and 1995's Out of Control by Kevin Kelly.WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?For a more recent take on a sci-fi dystopia, allow us to recommend our Squid Game episode!The disturbing practical effects of the Neo awakening scene does recall some of the more unsettling cyberpunk aspects of RoboCop, which we covered here.FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

Yes.• Is it still better than most action movies? Also yes.• The epic Zion defense sequence: Maybe too long but undeniably tense and visually striking.• Neo's final battle with Agent Smith: A rain-soaked, philosophical showdown that cements Neo's legacy.• Trinity's emotional farewell: A standout moment of love and sacrifice that hits all the right notes.• Final thoughts: Despite its flaws, Revolutions is a satisfying end to the trilogy and better than its reputation suggests.Engagement:What are your thoughts on The Matrix Revolutions?

Cʹest une trilogie métaphysique et cyberpunk sortie entre 1999, à lʹaube du 21e siècle, et 2003. Trois films : Matrix, Matrix Reloaded et Matrix Revolutions, qui constituent la base dʹune saga qui va révolutionner lʹhistoire du cinéma. Cʹest un mythe originel créé par deux frères alors, les Wachowski, devenus, depuis, des sœurs, Lilly et Lana Et nous, nous allons nous balader dans leur monde, celui de la Matrice, en parlant plus spécifiquement de Matrix, le premier film. Car celui-ci impose un avant et un après. Il marque une transition dans le monde du cinéma par lʹutilisation de ses effets spéciaux, de sa violence, et de sa philosophie qui emprunte de références bibliques et mythologiques. Mais ce qui frappe au-delà du syncrétisme religieux assumé, cʹest que Matrix est avant tout un film dʹaction et cʹest sans doute dans ce registre quʹil se singularise le plus. Avec des scènes de combats parfaitement chorégraphiés, mêlant arts martiaux à des techniques de tournage ultrasophistiqués et à des effets spéciaux encore peu vus au cinéma, avec un montage au cordeau, très physique, et des acteurs en costumes noirs, près du corps, ainsi quʹune musique omniprésente, tout cela fait lʹeffet dʹune bombe à sa sortie. En 2003, les deux autres volets de la trilogie terminent ce premier cycle, qui trouvera un pendant avec un quatrième volet en 2021 et un cinquième en préparation et ancrent Matrix dans le 21e siècle faisant de Néo, Morpheus et Trinity des héros dʹun genre nouveau. Dès lors, préparez-vous. Il ne nous reste plus quʹà tomber dans le terrier avec Alice. Pilule rouge ou pilule bleue, choisissez-bien.

Wir schauen Matrix - Revolutions, und weil das irgendwie erstaunlich wenig hergibt, diskutieren wir daran noch so etwas über die Welt.

The Matrix Trilogy ends with “The Matrix Revolutions.” There’s a big fight in Zion, a lot of stuff in the Matrix we didn’t actually remember, everyone becomes Agent Smith, Chip is devoured by thousands of mosquitos, and Kelly resists the bleakness. Jason Snell with Chip Sudderth, Erika Ensign, Kelly Guimont and Joe Rosensteel.

We're continuing through The Matrix franchise with part 3: The Matrix Revolutions. When The Matrix Reloaded ended, Neo was in a coma after using some reality-warping powers in the real world! Revolutions is often considered the worst of the trilogy and some people consider the sequels so bad that they ruin everything good about the first movie, but is it really that bad? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of The Matrix Revolutions! Cinema Heroes YouTube Instagram

After many technical challenges, here is Movie #4 for THREEQUELS this year! (Leave it to the robots to wreak havoc while talking about them...) The Wachowski Sisters completed their trilogy of The Matrix with today's movie The Matrix Revolutions.  From IMDB: The human city of Zion defends itself against the massive invasion of the machines as Neo fights to end the war at another front while also opposing the rogue Agent Smith.

The Flophouse Podcast is available HERE and also wherever you get your podcasts. We'll be back on Monday, with an all new chapter of The Matrix.

A special Flophouse Podcast crossover with our friends Dan McCoy, Elliot Kalan, plus John Hodgman. Check out The Flophouse Podcast and stay tuned for a special Matrix Revolutions edition of the Flophouse in our feed later this week. Each season on The Novelizers, we take a beloved film, give each scene to a TV comedy writer (from SNL, The Simpsons, Colbert, and more) to novelize. Then we give those scenes to a comedian or actor to narrate. Plus interviews with the people who (may or may not have) made the original film. The Novelizers is produced by Stephen Levinson, with Graham Douglas, Kevin Carter, Christine Bullen, Dennis DiClaudio, Rob Kutner, and Suchetas Bokil. Music and additional editing by Cole Emoff. Graphic design by Crystal Dennis. Theme song by Andrew Lin, performed by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Knotts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Reprise performed by ⁠⁠⁠⁠Paige Beller⁠⁠⁠⁠ and sometimes ⁠Aimee Mann⁠.

We're going into the matrix this week, in honor of Dan and Elliott's contributions to an upcoming episode of the very funny The Novelizers podcast, where comedy writers "novelize" part of a blockbuster movie from the past -- Dan wrote a "chapter" of the original The Matrix (read by our friend John Hodgman!), and he and Elliott appear on the episode playing characters who worked behind the scenes on the movie. Look for that soon, but in the meantime, enjoy this flashback discussion of The Matrix: Revolutions, our fourth-favorite Matrix movie.See us LIVE in July in Boston!Wikipedia page for The Matrix: RevolutionsRecommended in this episode:Hundreds of Beavers (2022)I Saw the TV Glow (2024)Regrouping (1976)Head to factormeals.com/flop50 and use code flop50 to get 50% off your first box plus 20% off your next month.

Tram Le-Jones has an eye for detail, a people-centric personality, and a passion for computer science — making her perfect for VFX production roles. After getting a job on The Matrix Revolutions via craigslist (no, really), she became a sought-after coordinator and then moved into producing VFX for movies including Spider-Man 3, Tower Heist, and Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, as well as commercials, moving from west to east coast and back again along the way. Having served on the front line of VFX, Tram has taken her expertise into project management software for media and entertainment, starting with Autodesk's Shotgrid and moving to Backlight's ftrack. Tram talks through her fascinating career, from lugging huge CRTs around Digital Domain's office, to working with Spike Jonze on his short film “I'm Here,” to the challenges of integrating cutting-edge virtual production technology into traditional VFX pipelines.  

With the release of Dune 2, Ian and Dan wanted to talk sequels this week. Sequels have a tough job, and sometimes they don't get the credit they deserve. So Cinema in Seconds is here to shed some light on some of these! Matrix Revolutions - 4:45 The Lost World - 22:45 Spectre - 33:00 Alien 3 - 48:00 Batman Returns - 58:00 Scarlet Claw - 1:12:00

On this episode we close out what for a long time was the Matrix trilogy with THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS. It's the only one of the three to be mixed-to-negatively received and left a bit of a stink on the franchise. Since then, the stocks of RELOADED and REVOLUTIONS have risen, but do we side with the original consensus, or do we feel this one was unfairly maligned? More importantly, what are YOUR thoughts on this movie and the trilogy as a whole?

What pill would you take - Blue or Red? Join the Born to Watch team as we follow the white rabbit and discover 'The Matrix" The movie that changed the way movies were made and expanded all our minds, this episode is life-changing.In the realm of groundbreaking cinematic experiences, few films have managed to achieve what "The Matrix" accomplished upon its release in 1999. Directed by the Wachowskis, this science fiction masterpiece not only redefined the genre but also left an indelible mark on popular culture. With its innovative storytelling, mind-bending visuals, and philosophical underpinnings, "The Matrix" continues to captivate audiences and remains a benchmark for futuristic storytelling.At its core, "The Matrix" introduces viewers to a dystopian future where machines have enslaved humanity within an artificial reality called the Matrix. Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves), a hacker known as Neo, becomes the film's central character. Plagued by a sense of unease and the feeling that there's more to reality than meets the eye, Neo is eventually contacted by a group of rebels led by Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), who reveals the shocking truth about the Matrix. What follows is a mind-bending journey as Neo grapples with the concept of reality and his role in the rebellion against the machines."The Matrix" is renowned for its groundbreaking special effects and visually stunning sequences that were, at the time, unparalleled. The film introduced the concept of "bullet time," a visual effect that slowed down time while allowing the camera to move around the action, creating an awe-inspiring sense of fluidity and control over motion. This technique, coupled with meticulously choreographed fight scenes, raised the bar for action sequences in cinema. From the iconic lobby shootout to the thrilling rooftop chase, the film's visual prowess remains a benchmark for the genre.Beneath the surface of its impressive action and visual effects, "The Matrix" delves into profound philosophical themes that have sparked discussions and debates for years. The concept of reality itself is questioned, blurring the lines between the tangible and the virtual. The film draws inspiration from a range of philosophical and religious sources, including Descartes' skepticism and Eastern philosophies. The red pill/blue pill dilemma posed by Morpheus presents a choice that goes beyond Neo's physical reality, forcing audiences to reflect on their own perceptions of the world around them.The characters of "The Matrix" are as memorable as they are complex. Keanu Reeves's portrayal of Neo brings a mix of vulnerability and determination to the role, allowing audiences to connect with his journey of self-discovery. Laurence Fishburne's Morpheus exudes wisdom and unwavering conviction, while Carrie-Anne Moss's Trinity showcases both strength and vulnerability. Hugo Weaving's performance as the enigmatic Agent Smith is nothing short of mesmerizing, creating an antagonist that embodies both cold calculation and subtle menace.The world-building in "The Matrix" is meticulous and immersive. The juxtaposition between the stark, desolate reality of the human world and the artificially constructed Matrix is visually striking. The green-tinted hue of the Matrix scenes becomes a visual motif that reflects the artificiality of the simulated reality. This contrast between the worlds reinforces the central theme of reality versus illusion, grounding the philosophical explorations in tangible visuals."The Matrix" transcended the boundaries of cinema to become a cultural phenomenon. Its iconic imagery, including the distinctive black leather attire worn by the characters, has become synonymous with the film itself. The film's influence extends beyond aesthetics, however. Phrases like "I know kung fu" and "There is no spoon" have woven themselves into popular culture, maintaining their relevance years after the film's release. Moreover, "The Matrix" paved the way for a surge in interest in cyberpunk aesthetics and virtual reality narratives, shaping subsequent films and media.The success of "The Matrix" led to the creation of two sequels, "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions." While these films expanded upon the universe and the philosophical themes introduced in the original, they didn't quite match the impact of the first installment. Nevertheless, the trilogy as a whole maintains a dedicated fan base and continues to be studied and analyzed for its narrative complexity and thought-provoking concepts."The Matrix" remains an enduring masterpiece that defies categorization. Its seamless blend of high-octane action, mind-bending visual effects, and philosophical depth has earned it a place in cinematic history. The film's exploration of reality, identity, and human agency remains as relevant today as it was upon its release, inviting audiences to question the nature of their own existence. Two decades later, Neo's journey from questioning his reality to embracing his role as "The One" continues to resonate, inviting us all to ponder the thin line between what we perceive and what truly is.Please follow the Podcast and join our community at https://linktr.ee/borntowatchpodcast If you are looking to start a podcast and want a host or get guests to pipe in remotely, look no further than Riverside.fmClick the link below https://riverside.fm/?utm_campaign=campaign_1&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rewardful&via=matthew

The boys are headed back into the Matrix for the penultimate time, with The Matrix: Revolutions. Blow up a lot of squids, scream from your APU, and detonate an EMP (safely) while jokes fly by. This week's include: just Deutschepunk stuff, consumption by CGI, more (HBO) Max talk, Bucks County chatter, and hypothetical multiverse shenanigans.

Kenneth Nakada is the Head of Virtual Production Operations at Amazon Studios. He was instrumental in Amazon's efforts to build an LED volume in Hollywood, which became one of the largest in North America when it opened in 2022. Before Amazon, Nakada worked as a visual effects supervisor and artist on movies like Avatar, The Matrix Revolutions, Terminator 3, and X-Men. But a far earlier special effects film got him interested in filmmaking as a career. 

In Begin Transmission: The Trans Allegories of The Matrix (BearManor Media, 2023), trans woman and screenwriter Tilly Bridges takes you through the trans allegories of the Matrix franchise, with deep dives into The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Animatrix, The Matrix Revolutions, and The Matrix Resurrections, tracking one person's transition journey - from Thomas Anderson, to Neo... to Trinity. Each movie's allegory is deeply layered, building from movie to movie, and speaks to a different aspect of trans existence. You'll learn how color is used to convey more than you realize, how Neo's psyche is personified in the people around him, how no other mass media franchise speaks as truly, deeply, and honestly to the trans experience, and exactly why these movies are beloved and vital to the trans community (and their cis allies). Free your mind, and see just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Jana Byars is an independent scholar located in Amsterdam. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tonight we're chatting with Tilly Bridges, a trans woman and master of comics, screenplays, teleplays and audio dramas. On June 27th, she releases BEGIN TRANSMISSION - THE TRANS ALLEGORIES OF THE MATRIX, which is the ultimate handbook for the Matrix franchise with deep dives into The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded, The Animatrix, The Matrix Revolutions and The Matrix Resurrections, tracking one person's transition journey — from Thomas Anderson, to Neo, to Trinity.ABOUT TILLY BRIDGESMaking award-winning audio drama via their production company Pendant Productions since 2004, Tilly and her wife are also head writers of the 2023 Nebula Awards and are presently writing for the new Monster High animated series and the Star Trek Adventures and Fallout role-playing games. As a transgender woman, Bridges said she had always connected with the Matrix movies on a level so strongly she didn't understand. The first time she watched the movies after coming out publicly was revelatory. “I was motivated to rewatch and take notes,” says Bridges. “My entire world turned upside down as she discovered almost frame by frame how deep and layered the allegories were within the films.” Since sharing her essays, she's been overwhelmed with messages from people her essays have helped.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4268760/advertisement
