Podcasts about Wachowski

What do you get when you mix cyberpunk philosophy, a rave in a cave, and a thousand Mr. Smiths? A sequel so ambitious it broke Big D's brain and made Gene question reality itself. This week, the Shat Crew finishes up listener Jeremiah's Sci-Fi Through The Ages series by plugging into The Matrix Reloaded, a film that doubles down on slow-mo kung fu, pleather trench coats, and high-concept jargon that may or may not mean anything. Is Neo still "The One," or just another guy with a Superman complex? Did Trinity and Neo's love scene spark human emotion—or just a need for brain bleach? And what's up with the Keymaker, the Merovingian, and that architect making coochie cakes? Prepare for laughs, rants, and maybe even some deep thoughts as we decode the most audacious freeway chase ever put on film. Whether you're Team Zion or just here for the bullet time, this is The Matrix Reloaded like only Shat can deliver. Plot Summary In The Matrix Reloaded, Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus return to fight for the survival of Zion, the last human city resisting machine domination. As Neo grapples with his destiny as "The One," he discovers deeper layers of the Matrix's control and faces powerful new adversaries like the upgraded Agent Smith and the enigmatic Merovingian. With time running out before a massive machine attack, the crew races to unlock the path to the Source and ultimately, human freedom.

Escape with us to the world of the Wachowski's adaptation of the beloved cartoon and Manga.

This week, we discuss two films from the Wachowski siblings. The first is Cloud Atlas (2012), an epic science fiction film which weaves together six interconnected stories across time and space, exploring how individual actions ripple through history to shape destinies. The second is Bound (1996), a neo-noir erotic crime thriller where two women plot to steal from the mob, igniting a tense game of deception, passion and survival.   Timestamps What we've been watching (00:01:02) – Adolescence, Black Bag, Toxic Town, Reacher season three, Undercover, The Departed Cloud Atlas (00:33:52) Bound (00:59:20) Coin toss (01:14:05)   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Letterboxd – @andycifpod @fat-tits mcmahon   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com

We can't wait to see you there.  You can also support the podcast by buying our original merch at bit.ly/lezmerch.  Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is forever in its Wachowski era.  This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) talk about the 2015 Netflix series Sense8 for this Lez-ssentials episode, a recurring segment on the essential movies and TV shows in the lesbian canon.  Sense8 is an incredibly queer show that we honestly cannot believe first premiered a whole entire decade ago. It truly ranks up there next to Orphan Black for us as one of the most impressive shows ever to exist on television. Although we really wish it had gotten more seasons, what we did get was an absolute masterpiece. Sense8 was nominated for GLAAD media awards in 2016, 2018 and 2019 for its queer representation and if you did not get a chance to watch it back then, we really cannot recommend enough that you watch it right now. Like for real, why are you reading this? Go watch Sense8 first and then listen to the episode, because this is full of spoilers from here on.  As you might recall from our episodes on The Matrix and Bound, we are big fans of the Wachowski sisters' work. Sense8 is no exception. In fact, Lana Wachowski has said that much of Nomi's storyline was autobiographical in nature. In terms of lesbian couples in media, it doesn't get much more top tier than Nomi and Amanita. Honestly, they might still be at the top even now. We love that Amanita is so ride or die for Nomi; and in context of it being 2015 at the time, the scenes where she defends Nomi against her terfy friends hit even harder. But, as much as we are all in on Nomi and Amanita, they are not the only queer rep in this show. In fact, we'd argue that every single person in the cluster is queer simply by nature of being a sense8. By having this diverse group of people all across the globe suddenly psychically linked, the Wachowskis make a statement about the nature of sexuality, the value of shared experiences in relation to developing empathy, and what it means to be a “we” in all senses of the word.  At the end of the episode, stick around to hear our original song based on Sense8, titled “Sum of Our Parts”, written by Leigh Holmes Foster and produced by Ellie Brigida.

Willkommen beim Podcast von Technologie-Scout Boris Bärmichl!Bereit für eine faszinierende Entdeckungsreise in die Welt der Technologie?

Amateurs de récits post-apocalyptiques, de cannibales et de batailles spectaculaires, cet épisode de ComicsDiscovery est fait pour vous ! Cette semaine, votre podcast comics préféré explore Post Americana, une œuvre explosive signée Steve Skroce, publiée chez Hi Comics. Un monde post-apocalyptique sans pitiéDans Post Americana, l'Amérique a été dévastée par une apocalypse nucléaire. Les plus riches se sont barricadés dans la Bulle, un bunker high-tech, laissant le reste de la population survivre tant bien que mal dans un univers hostile peuplé de mutants et de cannibales. Quatre-vingts ans plus tard, un président autoproclamé rêve d'imposer sa Nouvelle Amérique, un régime autoritaire sans pitié. À l'intérieur de la Bulle, Mike mène une rébellion clandestine, tandis qu'à l'extérieur, Carolyn, une jeune survivante, tente de subsister dans ce chaos. Lorsque leurs destins se croisent, ils s'allient pour renverser le tyran dans une vendetta sanglante et frénétique. Steve Skroce : entre comics et cinéma culteSteve Skroce, auteur de ce récit déjanté, est un artiste canadien au parcours remarquable. Dans les années 1990, il se fait connaître chez Marvel Comics avec des séries comme Cable et X-Man, avant de briller sur The Amazing Spider-Man. Son talent le mène à Hollywood, où il collabore avec les Wachowski en tant que storyboardeur principal pour des films cultes comme Matrix et ses suites. Ses storyboards précis et dynamiques ont contribué à façonner les scènes d'action emblématiques de la saga. Malgré sa carrière cinématographique, Skroce revient régulièrement à ses premières amours : la bande dessinée. On lui doit des œuvres marquantes comme We Stand On Guard (avec Brian K. Vaughan) et Maestros (dont on a deja parlé dans cet épisode de ComicsDiscovery), où il allie son style détaillé et son sens inné de l'action. Une explosion visuelle et narrativePost Americana est une véritable claque visuelle et narrative. Fidèle à l'approche décomplexée de Steve Skroce, chaque page est un déluge d'action, de violence et de détails incroyables. Le travail de Dave Stewart à la colorisation sublime ces planches hallucinantes, rendant chaque scène encore plus immersive. Cette BD, pleine d'énergie, séduira les amateurs de récits barrés et de culture bis, dans la lignée de Toxic Avenger ou Planet Terror de Tarantino. Attention, Post Americana ne cherche pas à philosopher : c'est un pur divertissement gore et explosif, parfait pour ceux qui savent ce qu'ils veulent.

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.

Jennifer spills the beans on what it takes to be an actress in Hollywood. We talk "Beverly Hills Housewives", how your gal pal will cover your problem spots in lesbian love scenes, poker, glamour, getting hit on by producers, and the indignity of promoting yourself by going on to podcasts like this one.Bio: Jennifer Tilly received an Academy Award nomination for her role in Woody Allen's “Bullets Over Broadway” for her memorable portrayal of the terribly untalented Olive, actress wannabe, and gangster's moll. Her performance in “Liar Liar” as Jim Carrey's gold-digging client earned her an American Comedy Award nomination, as well as a Blockbuster award nomination as Favorite Supporting Actress.Tilly is perhaps best known from the indie noir film “Bound”, which has earned her a cult following. “Bound,” directed by the Wachowski's follows two lesbian con artists trying to rip off the mob. The film garnered many accolades including a GLAAD media award, and a Saturn award nomination (Best Actress) for Tilly. Other film credits include “The Getaway,” “The Fabulous Baker Boys,” “Let It Ride,” “The Cat's Meow,” “Intervention,”(Winner-Best Actress-San Diego Film Festival) “Dancing at the Blue Iguana,” “Made in America,” “Bride of Chucky,” (Saturn Award nominee-Best Actress) “Seed of Chucky,” “Curse of Chucky,” “Cult of Chucky,” “The Crew,” “The Wrong Guy,” “Inconceivable,” (Winner-Best Actress-WIFT) “An American Girl,” “Edie and Penn,” “Hide and Seek,” “Saint Ralph,” “The Doors,” ”Relative Evil” (Winner-Best Actress-DVD Exclusive Awards) “Second Best,” “Tidelands,” and many more. Other notable TV appearances include “Modern Family,” “Drop Dead Diva,” “Moonlighting,” “Cheers,” and “Frasier.” She had recurring roles on “Hill Street Blues,” “It's Garry Shandling's show (Ace award nomination-Best Actress) and “Out of Practice” (CBS). She was a series regular on “Key West” (Fox) and “Shaping Up.” (NBC) Tilly is in great demand as a voice over actor. For the last twenty-two years she has delighted audiences as Bonnie on “Family Guy.” She played the snaky haired Celia in Pixar's classic movie “Monster's Inc.,” as well as the Disney+ series “Monsters at Work,” Grace, the new age cow in Disney's “Home on the Range,” a con mouse in “Stuart Little,” and Madame Leota in “The Haunted Mansion.”Theatre credits include "Tartuffe," (LA Public Theatre) "Boy's Life" (LAAT) and "Baby With The Bathwater," (LAPT) and “Vanities,” (Dramalogue Award-Best Actress) She received a “TheatreWorld Award” (Best Newcomer) for her performance in Second Stage's "One Shoe Off" at the Joseph Papp Theatre.  Tilly is also a regular performer in the smash hit comedy revue, “Celebrity Autobiography” and Illeana Douglas' “Living Room Show.” These days Jennifer is dividing her career between acting and poker. In 2005 she astounded the Poker world when she bested a field of over 600 women to win the coveted gold bracelet at The World Series of Poker. She followed that up by capturing a WPT title, winning Ladies Night 3.

Jonny and Heather record the episode on Columb--er, Indigenous People's Day, and have some things to say about the costs of colonialism and the importance of Two Spirit/Q-Spirit. The review some events last week, one a planned pesentation on the queer history of the region and the other a grassroots protest for an anti-trans speaker brought to speak in Carbodale on National Coming Out Day. They then switch to some TERF-y women causing additional problems for queer and trans folks with their loose connection to history, science, and reality. They end with excitement for new films in the works by the Wachowski sisters celebrating trans horror, as well as other films available for streaming that avoid the Bury Your Gays trope.

This month for our movie night, Captain Ingle and I go back in time to the year 1999 and the release of one of the most important science fiction films in recent history. Questions regarding the truth of our reality have been asked since the dawn of our species, and the Wachowski's modern classic "The Matrix" presents these thoughts in a truly profound and extremely influential way. In fact, the concepts presented in this film still resonate with us a quarter of a century later. Join us, along with special guest Aaron Dye, as we go boldly!

Put on your black latex and take that red pill, because we're bending reality and running from Agents in The Wachowski's 1999 masterpiece THE MATRIX! Along the way, we discuss the horrifying weirdness of belly buttons, Carrie-Anne Moss' life-saving hotness, and the media-illiteracy of dudebros the world over!

A estas alturas todo el mundo conoce la película o ha leído la obra literaria en la que se basa. Estrenada en 2006 tuvo bastante repercusión y ésta llega hasta nuestros días. Está claro que los hechos que narra no son tan de ciencia ficción dado lo que está ocurriendo en nuestros días. Es por eso que he creído factible hacer un análisis sobre la misma porque su fundamento tiene más vigencia que nunca. “V de Vendetta” es una obra icónica, tanto en su versión original como cómic escrito por Alan Moore y dibujado por David Lloyd, como en la adaptación cinematográfica de 2005 dirigida por James McTeigue y producida por los hermanos Wachowski. Esta obra es un comentario profundo y crítico sobre el poder, el autoritarismo y la resistencia individual y colectiva frente a la opresión. A continuación, te presento un análisis detallado de “V de Vendetta” desde varias perspectivas: 1. Contexto Histórico y Social La historia se desarrolla en una Inglaterra distópica, gobernada por un régimen fascista conocido como Norsefire. Este contexto refleja las ansiedades y preocupaciones sobre el autoritarismo y la pérdida de libertades individuales, influenciado por el clima político de los años 80, cuando Margaret Thatcher estaba en el poder en Reino Unido y Ronald Reagan en Estados Unidos. Alan Moore, conocido por su inclinación política hacia la izquierda, escribió “V de Vendetta” como una crítica al auge del conservadurismo y la erosión de las libertades civiles. 2. El Personaje de V V es un enigma, un símbolo más que un individuo, lo cual es intencionalmente ambiguo. Su máscara de Guy Fawkes, un conspirador histórico que intentó volar el Parlamento inglés en 1605, se convierte en un emblema de resistencia contra la tiranía. V, que en la película es interpretado por Hugo Weaving, encarna tanto las virtudes como los peligros del anarquismo. Es un personaje complejo que lucha por la libertad a través de medios violentos, cuestionando si los fines realmente justifican los medios. La ideología de V está profundamente influenciada por el anarquismo y el libertarismo. Aunque su misión es destruir un régimen opresivo, su visión de un futuro ideal es uno sin gobernantes, donde los individuos son verdaderamente libres. Esta idea es representada en su discurso sobre la libertad y el caos, y en su voluntad de morir para permitir que su ideal continúe. 3. Evey Hammond Evey, interpretada por Natalie Portman en la película, representa la transformación personal y la liberación del miedo. Comienza la historia como una joven temerosa y sumisa, pero a lo largo de la trama, bajo la guía y manipulación de V, se convierte en una figura fuerte y capaz de tomar decisiones autónomas. Su evolución simboliza la capacidad humana de resistir la opresión y encontrar una identidad propia, libre de las cadenas impuestas por el poder. 4. Temas Centrales • Autoritarismo y Libertad: El régimen de Norsefire es una representación extrema de un gobierno totalitario, donde la libertad de expresión, la disidencia y la diversidad son suprimidas en nombre de la seguridad y el orden. V, por otro lado, defiende la idea de que la libertad auténtica solo puede surgir a través de la destrucción de un sistema opresivo, aunque esto implique caos y violencia. • El Poder de las Ideas: “V de Vendetta” explora cómo las ideas pueden ser más poderosas que cualquier individuo. La máscara de Guy Fawkes se convierte en un símbolo de resistencia global, lo que refleja la capacidad de un símbolo o una idea para trascender a la persona que lo origina. • Miedo y Control: El gobierno de Norsefire utiliza el miedo como herramienta para controlar a la población, una estrategia que tiene ecos en la vida real, donde los gobiernos a menudo explotan amenazas (reales o fabricadas) para justificar la represión y la centralización del poder. 5. Simbolismo La obra está llena de simbolismos que refuerzan sus temas centrales. La máscara de Guy Fawkes, como se mencionó, es un símbolo de resistencia. El número “V” y el uso de la letra en la narrativa (representando el número 5 en números romanos) son recurrentes y refuerzan la identidad y misión del protagonista. La rosa escarlata que V deja como firma en cada asesinato es una referencia a la belleza efímera y la muerte. 6. Adaptación Cinematográfica vs. Cómic La película “V de Vendetta” introduce cambios significativos con respecto al cómic original, especialmente en su enfoque ideológico. Mientras que el cómic es más explícitamente anarquista, la película suaviza este mensaje, presentando a V como un luchador por la libertad en un sentido más amplio y menos ideológicamente específico. Este cambio hizo la película más accesible para un público masivo, pero también ha sido criticado por diluir el mensaje radical de Moore. 7. Relevancia en la Cultura Contemporánea “V de Vendetta” sigue siendo relevante hoy en día, en un mundo donde las tensiones políticas, la vigilancia estatal y las luchas por los derechos civiles están más presentes que nunca. La máscara de Guy Fawkes ha sido adoptada por movimientos como Anonymous y Occupy, convirtiéndose en un símbolo universal de resistencia contra el poder. 8. Conclusión “V de Vendetta” es una obra poderosa que invita a reflexionar sobre el poder, la libertad y el papel del individuo en la sociedad. Aunque el uso de la violencia por parte de V puede generar controversia, su lucha por un mundo más libre y justo resuena profundamente, especialmente en tiempos de crisis política y social. La obra nos recuerda que, aunque los regímenes pueden intentar reprimir la disidencia, las ideas de libertad y justicia son inquebrantables y capaces de inspirar cambio más allá de cualquier figura individual.

In this episode, Masie & Stuart return to the realm of space operas with the Wachowski sisters' sci-fi blockbuster film Jupiter Ascending. A critical and finacial failure upon release, the reputation of this movie is often quite negative in online film circles. However, our hosts are here to argue that it might have some compelling ideas... some 90's shojo isekai ideas in fact. Listen as our hosts try to argue in favor of this film's charming, feminine, anime-esque version of a power fantasy, and why maybe the script probably could've used a couple more drafts.   Linktree: https://linktr.ee/cinema_bones Follow Us on Social Media @ Cinema_Bones on Instagram, Twitter, and Letterboxd and Cinema-Bones on Tumblr for podcast updates.   Additional Sources & Reading: Jupiter Ascending - Toronto Sun Director Article Wachowski Sisters' Video Interview

This week, we watch the heady sci-fi action fantasy (insert any genre here) film that took the 90's by storm. This film spawned countless imitators, including three inferior sequels, and everything about it still holds up today. The Matrix (1999), directed by the Wachowski's.

This week, we don't step behind the mic to be an audio driver... we do it because we're driven, as we go under the hood with the Wachowski sisters' much-maligned avant garde anticapitalist art film (for kids!), the 2008 anime adaptation Speed Racer, written and directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski, and starring Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, John Goodman, Susan Sarandon, Matthew Fox, Roger Allam, Hiroyuki Sanada, Benno Fürmann and Richard Roundtree. Turned loose on kid-friendly fare after R-rated successes, the Wachowskis served up a visionary piece of art about what it means to be an artist, and the struggle to create under capitalism. A box office flop upon its release, it's gained a cult following in the years since, and count Justin as a Day 1 believer as he saw it twice in IMAX and all of its technicolor splendor has likely been imprinted on his eyelids ever since. It's a contentious pick to close out Masterpiece Month, a nomination for canon consideration so audacious that it just may test the limits of the very friendship undergirding this podcast. But fret not! Beyond hearing a nerdy boy yap about his nerdy interest for an impossibly long time, we also mark the midway point of the year by revealing our Top 5 films of 2024 thus far. If you'd like to watch Speed Racer before listening to this episode, it is sadly unavailable to stream in both the US and Canada at the time of publication. But you should see it. It's great. (Can you guess which one of us writes this stuff?) Other works discussed in this episode include Twisters, Civil War, Hit Man, Late Night with the Devil, Longlegs, Devil, Love Lies Bleeding, Dune: Part Two, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Challengers, Speed, Midnight Run, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, Lisa Frankenstein, National Treasure, Pirates of the Caribbean, Pirates of the Caribbean II: Dead Man's Chest, The Matrix, V For Vendetta, Pacific Rim, Cars, Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Yellowjackets, Nope, Alita: Battle Angel, and Gran Turismo, among countless others. We'll be back next week to kick off another themeless month of madness on the show, as we're following Masterpiece Month by purposefully steering the ship directly into an iceberg and watching the movie that killed Hayden Christensen's leading man career. Yes, it's another box office dud from the summer of 2008: Doug Liman's Jumper, which sadly just like Speed Racer is not currently available to stream. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

We conclude our Pride Month series with a wonderful discussion between Amanda, Zach, and special guest Matt Braunsdorf as they dissect the 1996 queer film Bound. A sexy thriller and early work from the Wachowski sisters, Bound delivers all sorts of turns and surprises.

He's Back x3! We've got the return of Seth, Robert, and director David DeCoteau all in one episode. In a film that Brandon thought was space related, we instead end up in a post-apocalyptic, secret alien-run arctic cadet training base, with tons and tons of shirtless dudes and boobs to go around. What are Seth's true thoughts on our season-long sponsorship? Does this movie invoke famous directors like Ridley Scott, Stanley Kubrick, the Wachowski sisters, etc.?

The Wachowski's Speed Racer was released in 2008 to horrible reviews and an even worse box office performance. But as time has progressed, a small but vocal contingent has gone on to reappraise the film, claiming that it was misunderstood at the time of its release. On this episode "Speed Racer (2008)", you get both sides of the argument as Jason found it a groan-inducing, cheesy bore while Ryan could get enough of the flashy visuals and eye candy. Where do you fall on this debate? Feel free to send in a comment and let us know what you think, and enjoy this feisty episode of Esoterica Cinema!

On episode 224 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch contributors Dan Bayer and Cody Dericks to take a look back and review The Matrix for its 25th anniversary and give out their Top 5 1990s Action Films. As talked about a couple of times on the AwardsWatch Podcast as well as on Director Watch, 1999 is one of the greatest years for cinema, not just in the modern era but of all time. The collective batch of films released in that last year of the 20th century profoundly spoke to the times they were released, while also paving the way for the next 25 years of films and filmmakers to come. One of the most influential films from that year was The Matrix, which just celebrated its anniversary of release just a few days ago. In a wonderful conversation, Ryan, Dan, and Cody break down this one-of-a-kind sci-fi-noir- action spectacle, talking about what the films means to them and so many others, as well as it's substantial legacy that has made it stand as one of the best films of all time. In the back half of the show, in honor of speaking about The Wachowski's masterpiece, the AW team go back to their nostalgic pasts and talk about their Top 5 action movies released within the 1990s. A bountiful decade to choose from, they were able to narrow this difficult exercise down with films like Mission: Impossible, Twister, Heat, Speed, Face/Off, Saving Private Ryan, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and more were discussed. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h14m. On our next episode, we will be reviewing Dev Patel's directorial debut, Monkey Man, and talking about our favorite actor-director debut feature films. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).

Why is The Matrix a big deal? Find out in this rerelease in honor of the movie's 25th anniversary.   Thanks to Jefferson Betmarik for making us pull 1999's The Matrix off our shelves and talk about it.  This movie was directed by the Wachowski siblings, and stars Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, and Carrie-Anne Moss among others.  Jim and I have watched this movie so much, and spent so much time talking about it over the years, so it's no surprise that we were able to easily fill 1:20 with our personal thoughts and observations.  What surprised is was how many new thoughts and ideas we had from our latest watch.  We had a lot of fun revisiting the movie, and I hope you get a kick out of listening.

Go behind the vein-popping sophomore feature from writer/director Rose Glass, Love Lies Bleeding, with this special Q&A! Remember: "ONLY LOSERS QUIT," So don't skip out on this episode like most folks do leg day!  The film is a quirky and queer neo-noir full of greasy mullets, guns, and girl-on-girl with brief interludes of body horror. Its sexual fluidity, spunky attitude, and cosmic edge recall the films of Gregg Araki mixed with the Wachowski's Bound, Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise, Darren Aronofsky's Requiem For A Dream, and David Lynch's Lost Highway. It's a strange cinematic cocktail of sex and violence whose mileage will vary from viewer to viewer.

But in the process, Dunigan read that version and sent me a different Wachowski script, Carnivore, that just left us in one of those lost dilemmas of life.

Wake up. There's a glitch in the matrix. That's because we're seeing deja vu - your campaigns are starting to look the same. Need some fresh ideas? We're here for you.But in reality (what is reality anyway?) you don't have to come up with the freshest never-before-seen content. You just have to pull from all of your favorite pieces of content. Take the inspiring bits. All of them. And put them together to make something new.See, the creators of The Matrix, the Wachowski's, even said they took “every idea we've ever had in our f***ing lives” and put it into the Matrix. Based on the ideas from French philosopher Jean Baudrillard, they also pulled from the techno scene, anime, martial arts, and more. There are even references to Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz, these very familiar cultural symbols. And yet when The Matrix was released, it was something fresh. It received wide acclaim, won Academy Awards, and basically broke the box office, bringing in over $460 million. So in this episode, we're going down the rabbit hole of marketing lessons we can learn from the 1999 film with the help of Deel's Director of Content Marketing, Anja Simic. Together, we discuss how to pull your inspiration into your B2B marketing, create educational content that preempts audience questions about your product or service, and call out audience pain points. So put on your very dark, very tiny sunglasses for this episode of Remarkable.About our guest, Anja SimicAnja Simic is Director of Content Marketing at Deel. She has been with the company over 4 years, having started in December 2018 as Senior Content Marketing Manager. Prior to Deel, she served as Digital Media Coordinator at Impact Hub Network.About DeelDeel is the all-in-one HR platform for global teams.

For more information, visit Deel.comAbout The MatrixThe Matrix is a sci-fi action movie about a computer programer who discovers that the world as we know it is a simulation. In this awakening, he finds out that machines have created the simulation to distract humans and are using his body as an energy source in the meantime. He bands together with other people who have been freed from The Matrix to rebel against the machines. The 1999 movie stars Keanu Reeves as Neo, Carrie-Anne Moss as Trinity, Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus, and Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith.The Matrix was created by Lana and Lily Wachowski, known professionally as The Wachowskis. They had only written and directed one movie before - Bound, a 1996 neo-noir crime thriller. Now they're now known for V for Vendetta, Cloud Atlas, and more. The Matrix was made when the Wachowskis were asked by a friend to develop an original comic book concept, which they started working on in 1992. It began with the idea that everything in our world is a simulation in a digital universe, an idea inspired by French postmodern philosopher Jean Baudrillard (1929 - 2007). Baudrillard believed that we have lost all ability to make sense of the distinction between nature and artifice. In the movie, the Wachowskis nod to Baudrillard when Neo hides his contraband software in a hollowed-out copy of "Simulacra and Simulation," a book by Baudrillard. The idea that “our reality” is a simulation allowed the Wachowskis to explore and experiment with special effects and camera tricks to make many iconic and memorable scenes, like the bending spoon and the slow-mo bullet dodging scene. The style of the movie is influenced by cyberpunk, anime, and martial arts. What B2B Companies Can Learn From The Matrix:Combine all of the ideas you've ever had. That's exactly what the Wachowski's did when they developed the story of The Matrix. They pulled inspiration from the techno movement, anime, martial arts, and cyberpunk as well as the postmodern philosopher Jean Baudrillard to create something totally new, but whose references were recognizable. This made The Matrix accessible and not totally foreign while also being inspired and thought provoking. So pull in those ideas and make something totally new!Present complex products in an understandable way. Use clear visuals and straight-forward language that appeals to both the technical buyer and the layman. By speaking to both, you increase your potential customers. Anja says, “When you're talking about a product, you are trying to explain it in a way that's relatable to your potential buyer, to a prospect. So you're trying to find the words, use the visuals, use the brand, everything in your power to respond to a need. The Matrix is doing the same. So it's based on the very complex philosophy of postmodernism, but the movie presents it in a way that's very light, that is relatable.”Call out your audience's pain points. This grabs their attention and sounds like you're talking directly to them. Trinity does this when she meets with Neo in the nightclub. She says, “I know why you're here, Neo. I know what you've been doing... why you hardly sleep, why you live alone, and why night after night, you sit by your computer.” Neo immediately knows that Trinity has been paying attention to him, understands what he's going through, and that it's important to her. Which is exactly how your audience will feel if you do the same.Quotes“There is some hesitancy from marketers to not want to pull in a bunch of different things that they like and put them together. But that's what makes [The Matrix] feel so cool and different. The cramming of worlds together in that way is what makes this feel so unique. So like, take a few things that you are really passionate about - content that you love - and just put it together.” - Ian Faison*“I think you need to be really flexible with [your content strategy] because the markets change, the business landscape changes the economic factors change. So what you devise as a plan for this year might not work next year because we are living in very uncertain times. We don't know how the next few years are going to look. So being lean and flexible is the right way to address any strategy, but content strategy in particular.” - Anja SimicTime Stamps[0:55] Introducing Director of Content Marketing at Deel, Anja Simic[1:50] Why are we talking about The Matrix?[4:22] Tell me more about The Matrix[8:52] What makes The Matrix remarkable?[11:11] What are some marketing lessons we can take away from The Matrix?[33:49] How does Anja think about content at Deel?[36:58] How does Anja prove the ROI of content?LinksWatch The MatrixConnect with Anja on LinkedInLearn more about DeelAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Jeremy SwiftTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Jeremy Swift. You may know Jeremy from Downton Abbey, Apple TV's Ted Lasso, or the Wachowski Siblings' epic Jupiter Ascending. But you may not know that Jeremy is arguably a more talented musician, than he is an actor.Just kidding. He is superb in both endeavors!In this episode, we chat about how he came to be an actor, and some of his first roles. I mean he toured with a cabaret troupe that played shows in various prisons! Holy Moly! Of course, we discuss some of his experiences on the previously listed projects, and a couple of others. I ask him what it is like to work with his wife on set, and he spills the beans on Ted Lasso season 4!Jeremy also shares the story of why he chose to get his Sag / Aftra card, and his upcoming film: "Descendants 4: The Rise of Red". Next we get into music. Jeremy started playing music at a very early age, and we definitely dive into that aspect of his creativity. Jeremy shares stories of his punk phase, seeing The Sex Pistols live, and his thoughts on the "Oi!" movement of the late 70's. Jeremy has a new album out called "Songs of Escape and Endless Night", which is catchy as hell. We discuss a couple of the tracks from that album, and he lets me play my favorite song from it. Jeremy shares his love for David Bowie, building synthesizers with his dad, and Christo Fernandez working on Jeremy's new album.Follow Jeremy Swift everywhere.See Jeremy Swift in everything.Listen to Jeremy Swift on Spotify.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/4068452/advertisement

At the beginning of the 90s, lesbians were a punchline for a male-gaze-oriented media, an easy target for expressing the anxiety that women might not need men after all. By the middle of the decade, women-loving-women had become the heroes of a number of neo-noir crime films, but the culture at large still rejected lesbianism when not intended to arouse men. While The Matrix has widely been reappraised as a trans allegory after the transitions of its directors the Wachowski sisters, their previous feature Bound was transparently queer, but its reception was complicated by the media's perception of its makers. Bound was released just a few months after the burial of an extremely similar film called Wild Side. Barely seen on its initial release amidst studio recutting and the suicide of its director, today Wild Side plays as a heartbreaking and troubling example of what could have been for its star Anne Heche, who would soon after become one-half of the most famous lesbian couple in Hollywood – and suffer the career consequences.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
