  • Episode #348 - ‘The Matrix Resurrections’ - A Matrix 4 Us All
    Mar 11 2022
    The Matrix: Resurrections pulls the ReWatchable panel back into the fold for one last ride with the original crew. Although everything seems slightly the same, this meta retelling of the series offers something new for everyone. Leaning into the film took a bit of effort at the start, but the film still laid the groundwork for another discussion of the larger themes of the piece from Lana Wachowski. Join us as we ask the big questions, such as: Did this movie need to be made? Did we enjoy it? Did Keanu make another joke?! Fun Facts Natalie’s hair cannot get short enough, Karen has a car (and a lot of additional responsibility), and Kendra literally entered the Mirrorverse with Spider-Man.As a reminder: we are no longer found on Hypable – we are now on Subjectify Media!

  • Episode #347 - 'While You Were Sleeping' - Little White Lies
    Dec 24 2021
    Happy Holidays from ReWatchable! Our hosts have once again come together to celebrate with another holiday special. This time we watch the legendary Sandra Bullock try to untangle herself from the she-said, she-said lie of While You Were Sleeping. Despite the fact that the plot that could have easily been resolved very quickly with no fallout several times throughout this movie, we find ourselves tangled up in enough of the delightful antics to discuss whether Bill Pullman holds his own against Sandy, debate whose lie is worse (Lucy Moderatz or Joe Fox), and whether we appreciate public demonstrations of love or not.  Before we get into the episode notes, if you are a ReWatchable fan from way back, we have some exciting Subjectify content for you! Natalie Fisher spoke with our dear friend Giles, Anthony Head, about his new project The Canterville Ghost and more! Read Part One and Part Two of our Anthony Head interview here!

  • Episode #346 - ‘The Matrix Revolutions’ - Not The Machines You’re Looking For
    Dec 11 2021
    The ReWatchable crew enters the Matrix one more time to finish out the original trilogy with a discussion covering whether or not this is a love story, determining who is entitled to eat the cookies, and consider where the next movie may take audiences. This Matrix Revolutions panel is a modge-podge one superfan and several sort of newbies who tackle the biggest questions the series has to offer humanity, including: is this movie the only time Keanu Reeves has made a joke? Join us as we navigate one last trip into the Matrix as we know it and prepare for what The Matrix: Resurrections has to offer! Fun Facts As a reminder: we are no longer found on Hypable – we are now on Subjectify Media! Read all about it in our relaunch article: Reintroducing ReWatchable: And our next round is… – Subjectify Media Spotify Wrapped is here (much to Natalie’s dismay) and not everyone on the panel listened to Taylor Swift! The Matrix Revolutions The movie dives right into the thick of it but not action-wise, the characters take center stageVolume was a major issue for home viewing, perhaps due to its IMAX releaseWith the balance of jumping between character moments, did we lose a lot of Neo in this film after sticking very close to him in the past 2 films?Which direction is the train going? And are the passengers running toward reality or away from it?The machines aren’t who we thought they wereA moment to acknowledge how great Keanu looks at this moment — and in the PRESENT The Oracle is replaced due to a real life death, however the plot gives a lot to chew on with a vessel changing as a result of a choice made in the MatrixImagine being programmed to live with a guy who eats half an olive at a time?Is there a lack of emotional investment (or none at all?) for Trinity? But was this intentional?Smith, who are you? Why are you here? What is your purpose?!The cookies are done, but who does the Oracle actually think that they are for?Smith turns out to be quite the three-dimensional character despite Brittany’s best attempts to ignore his existenceWe are in Zion/the real world for a majority of the movie with the crews of the ships and on the battlefield defending ZionThe side characters give us hopeThe Kid is actually a bigger deal than just being the President of Neo’s fan clubAnother battle/fight scene makes us care a bit more when it cuts between people rather than focusing on one character at a timeThe casting of Bane was *chef’s kiss*“Neo dust”Neo is blinded-but he cannot escape Smith’s sunglasses-and he kills BaneDoes Keanu make his only joke… ever… in this movie?Trinity and Neo’s deaths - what was the emotional and logical reactions to each of these?Happily ever after, or not, there’s always the 4th movieNeo master negotiator with the machinesIconic RAIN BATTLEBased on canon alone the machines taking Neo is a giant question mark (but there are possibly some answers in the video game)Natalie adds some must-sees to her Sydney tour and it is an eel wall (no thank you)What is the one thing that would keep you living in the Matrix? Or Zion?There are some disturbing procreation discussionWhat the hell is going to happen in The Matrix: Resurrections?Favorite scenesFavorite lines This episode’s panel included superfan: Karen Rought, one panelist who has seen The Matrix Revolutions once: Kendra Cleary, one panelist who may have seen it: Natalie Fisher, and one panelist who has never seen it: Brittany Lovely.

British bulldozr

I like listening to intelligent and clever people discussing movies and books. But this is more like listening to one person talk themselves through everything with too-brief handoffs.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
