Life is weird these days. Everyone is polarized. The news is a clusterf!ck. And now we have to hang out with Racist Uncle Joe and eat some overcooked turkey. Thankfully (see what we did there?!) Wolf and Stef are joined this week by Tilly Bridges, the author of Begin Transmission: the Trans Allegories of the Matrix to talk about how we can use our post-parade TV time to brush up on all the ways the Matrix Trilogy teaches us how to be better humans. ⁠⁠⁠Show notes on SecuringSexuality.com

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).

If you listen to one Geekscape episode this year, this should be it! 'The Matrix' was a groundbreaking film when it hit theaters in the Summer of 1999! From video games to sequels to animation (and not even mentioning all of the imitations), The Wachowski's films made a definite, lasting impact on pop culture. But for some, the messages in the film went even deeper. Writer Tilly Bridges arrives on Geekscape to talk about her new book 'Begin Transmission' and the countless trans allegories found in The Matrix films. For Tilly, the first Matrix film was an awakening journey into decoding her own trans experience. And for Geekscapists, I hope that this conversation might be and a continuation down a road of human empathy, understanding and pop culture appreciation, both inwardly and outwardly. Enjoy!

Will you take the red pill or will you take the blue pill? This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with trans author and screenwriter Tilly Bridges (@heckyeahtillybridges) to talk about the trans allegories and queer characters of The Matrix. Tilly is a Matrix expert having written an entire book on the topic - Begin Transmission: The Trans Allegories of The Matrix which releases this June! While we do touch a little bit on each movie of the series, we focus primarily on the iconic first movie that sets everything into motion. Don't worry though, Tilly goes much deeper into the rest of the movies in her book! We talk about how the entire series is one overarching allegory for the trans experience. From the very beginning we watch Neo start his transition journey by choosing to take the red pill, which stands for truth and is what breaks him free of the matrix, ie. the heteronormative binary world. While nowadays this ‘red pill' concept has been hijacked by the exact opposite of the people it was intended for, back in the day, the estrogen pill was quite literally red. (Funnily enough, it's blue now).  While outside the matrix, Neo leaves behind his dead name, takes on a new identity, and meets others who represent parts of himself. Each character is actually a manifestation of a different side of Neo that guides him along his transition. As Neo begins to live as an out-trans person, he starts to be attacked by those still within the matrix. This can be difficult to watch when you consider that it is an allegory reflecting the attacks made against trans individuals and the LGBTQ+ community at large by those dedicated to protecting their heteronormative world from what they perceive as a threat but is literally just trans and queer people existing.  Further into the series, we even see Neo choose to detransition, going back into the matrix and resuming the Mr. Anderson identity, which he had left behind to become Neo. In the final movie, he re-transitions, finally accepting himself as a trans person and reaching one final layer of transition to become Trinity, the person he was always meant to be. Each time we see Trinity and Neo kiss throughout the series, it never really feels romantic- and for good reason. They are the exact same person, and the kisses are an allegory for self-love and self-acceptance.  We know one thing for sure, The Matrix Should've Been Gay.

This Friday, March 31st, is Trans Day of Visibility, and we quite literally can't think of a better way to celebrate than with the author of the upcoming book "Begin Transmission: The trans allegories of The Matrix!" When screenwriter Tilly Bridges first saw The Matrix back in 1999, it spoke to her on an incredibly deep level that she couldn't fully understand until about fifteen years later, when she realized that - like the Wachowski Sisters themselves - she was trans. Tilly decided to revisit and analyze the movie that had started it all, and what began as a simple thread about The Matrix's trans allegories eventually became a timestamped handbook to the entire series! As Matrix fans, we absolutely GEEKED OUT over this conversation, and we know that you will, too! Happy Trans Day of Visibility!"Begin Transmission: The trans allegories of The Matrix" comes out on June 27th, and you can pre-order it wherever books are sold! Also, follow Tilly (and ask her all your Matrix questions!) on Twitter at @TillyBridges, and on Instagram at @heckyeahtillybridges.

Why use old code to mirror something new? Writer/producer Tilly Bridges is back to continue last week's discussion of The Matrix series. This time, she joins Paul and Arlo to chat about 2003's anime anthology The Animatrix, which fits surprisingly well into the series' trans allegory; and, for the bulk of this episode, The Matrix Resurrections. Lana Wachowski's triumphant return to her signature co-creation is strikingly similar to the original films…and strikingly different. The gang discusses Neo/Trinity's self-actualization, Wachowski's freer and more open approach to filmmaking, Jonathan Groff's take on Agent Smith, and so much more.   NEXT: we'll be back, or we won't. We probably will be.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:55  -  Intro / Guest 00:03:00  -  The Animatrix 00:41:32  -  The Matrix Resurrections 01:51:20  -  Outro / Next     LINKS Tilly & Susan Bridges How The Animatrix Set the Bar For What If…? and Star Wars: Visions by Kayti Burt, Den of Geek Too many movies right now are “about trauma.” The Matrix Resurrections actually does the work by Emily VanDerWerff, Vox       MUSIC “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane, Surrealistic Pillow (1967) “Wake Up” by Brass Against, Brass Against (2018)     GOBBLEDYCARES Trans Lifeline: https://translifeline.org/  US (877) 565-8860 Canada (877) 330-6366 National Center for Transgender Equality: transequality.org Resources for Transgender Youth in Texas: https://www.txtranskids.org/  Transgender Education Network of Texas: https://www.transtexas.org/  National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/  Support AAPI communities and those affected by anti-Asian violence: https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/stop-aapi-hate Support the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund: https://aapifund.org/ Support Black Lives Matter and find anti-racism resources: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/

Unfortunately, no one can be told what Gobbledygeek is. You have to listen to it for yourself. Writer-producer Tilly Bridges joins Paul and Arlo for the first of a two-part discussion of Lilly & Lana Wachowski's revolutionary Matrix franchise. This week, the gang discusses the original Matrix trilogy, which was released from 1999-2003 and shattered moviegoers' preconceived notions of the world around them. In turn, Tilly shatters Paul and Arlo's preconceived notions of these films by touching on the Wachowskis' many choices–from dialogue to set design to costuming–that serve to reflect the trans experience.   NEXT: we plug back in to explore The Animatrix and The Matrix Resurrections.     BREAKDOWN 00:00:32  -  Intro / Guest 00:13:47  -  Main Topic 01:55:40  -  Outro / Next     LINKS   Tilly & Susan Bridges   How The Matrix universalized a trans experience — and helped me accept my own by Emily VanDerWerff, Vox     MUSIC “Dissolved Girl” by Massive Attack, Mezzanine (1998) “Wake Up” by Rage Against the Machine, Rage Against the Machine (1992)     GOBBLEDYCARES Trans Lifeline: https://translifeline.org/  US (877) 565-8860 Canada (877) 330-6366 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/  Support AAPI communities and those affected by anti-Asian violence: https://www.gofundme.com/c/act/stop-aapi-hate Support the AAPI Civic Engagement Fund: https://aapifund.org/ Support Black Lives Matter and find anti-racism resources: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/
