Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, I'm Andrew Jopin. Eric Siska. Steven Sadek. Chris Cabin. And we hate movies. Hello everyone. Welcome to We Hate Movies on the Side Show Network. Thank you for tuning in. As always, we are continuing the summer blockbuster extravaganza with, well, this is just a big mess of a film, isn't it? It's, uh, the Matrix Revolutions from 2003 directly. What? What? It's a revolution. It is a revolution. All those are messy. They are famously messy. This is directed by the Wachowski's, by the way, of speed race. her fame and that movie where Tom Hanks plays a black guy. What was
Starting point is 00:01:04 that one? He plays an Asian guy. Oh, he plays an Asian fella? And a British guy too. Is that Tropic Thunder? Cloud Atlas. Oh, Cloud Atlas. Anyone see that new one where What's his face plays a dog? Yes, it's rotten. Oh, Jupiter Ascending State. Oh, you saw it too? Oh, yeah. Channing Tatum's playing a dog in that movie.
Starting point is 00:01:24 A werewolf. A werewolf. A werewolf? A space wolf? And bees. are aware that Milakunis is the queen so they respect her. Yeah. Of course, yeah. I mean, that's good. Dude, you pack some fucking water with you, man. Get some, get some, get a tub.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Let me ask you guys this about the Wicheskees. Is anyone watching that, what is it called, Sensate? I watched the first three episodes because I had to review it. And? It is nonsense. Really? It is like pure actual nonsense. So par for the course. Yes. I don't know. That first Matrix movie,
Starting point is 00:02:00 it's still great and I just keep coming back for more and I know I'm wrong every time and I know I'm gonna get fucked so hard by even trying I don't actually I don't think I've seen any of their movies since this one maybe I skipped Speed Racer
Starting point is 00:02:15 I didn't see Cloud Atlas yet and Glad Atlas is like you have plans to check it out Cloud Atlas is the nadir of film period I'm gonna watch Cloud Atlas I'm gonna read Infinite Jass just watch Watch, it'll happen one day.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Gonna do the Grand Teton's. Oh, man. But the question is, who keeps giving them money? I don't know why. This one made money, too, right? The third made this? They all made money. That's it. That's your ticket. But, like, how many times can you be fooled?
Starting point is 00:02:46 Here's your stupid side. Yeah, seriously, Warner Brothers. But Speed Racer was a dud, though, right? I'm correcting that. None of them have made them. After Matrix Revolutions, they're all done. I don't think they've reached Matrix-esque peaks financially. They've all
Starting point is 00:03:03 been debacles too financially. Disasters. And in almost every sense, like the scripts are always garbage. Well, that Speed Racer movie isn't a movie, but it's like a get super stoned and just look at your TV two-hour fuckfest.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Sure. That's all that movie is. And also John Goodman murders people and makes jokes about it after he does it. In like a movie that's more or less geared towards children. He throws a man out of a window and then quips. Hey, racer-X, you got a saw in there.
Starting point is 00:03:36 We did some messy business on the track today. But so this is the third Matrix movie. And now, if everyone recalls the quaint year of 2003, we were just getting ready to illegally invade Iraq. And these two
Starting point is 00:03:51 movies came out six months apart, which is the right way to do it. I'm looking at you, AMC, television. Although, you know what the bad thing to do? is to end your second movie with just out of nowhere, to be concluded. To be concluded on a shot of a guy that no one really knows who he is?
Starting point is 00:04:09 This dude, Bain? Welcome to fucking Matrix 2 and 3. Guys, you don't know who they are. Where are the people I came to this party with? You know, it's just like every... Now I'm just talking to some guy from Cincinnati. I don't know him. Where'd my friends go?
Starting point is 00:04:23 I heard about all the money you made on the first one. Could you not offer any of that to anybody? Yeah, I just, I don't know what's going on. You're filling this movie with, I mean, predominantly Australians and, you know, other Australian TV soap. Well, I feel like a lot of it is like you have to, you know, get these people to agree to move to Los Angeles, or to Australia, where you're making these movies. It's kind of like why there's a lot of nobody's in those Hobbit movies. I mean, they're better known people. Sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:04:56 But it's not like a caliber, whatever's. I will get lost in those Hobbit movies and those Ring movies just as easily. I don't know. Ups Down Door for Elf, whatever the fuck's going on. I need a guide for all this stuff. But there's a difference between that where they have a bunch of makeup. They're made up to be
Starting point is 00:05:13 creatures, even the most basic one. These people are made up to be creatures of the night. Well, they're club rats. It's like tattoos and like haines, sleeveless shirts. Oh, yeah. That's it. Loose knit sweaters as far as the eye could see. I need to talk to
Starting point is 00:05:29 the Zion Taylor because that person needs to be fired. Well, apparently they did good job with the silver chair crew. See, in the first Matrix movie, you're like, oh, like, oh, and they wear leather and they got the sunglasses, like, oh, that's kind of cool. And then in the second movie, I'm like, wait, everyone dresses
Starting point is 00:05:45 like this? Yeah, that's the thing that made them stand out from all the squares. And as soon as you start that second movie, everyone's copying them. It's like everyone else in the world of the matrix saw the Matrix and was I was like, that's cool, and started wearing their Halloween costumes everywhere.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Those were big Halloween costumes, by the way. For quite some time. You saw assholes walking around like Neo left and right. Until 2005. Yeah, it lasted a couple of years. Even after this. Chris, what happened in 2005? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:17 It became socially unacceptable to dress up like a character from the Matrix. You know how you want to start your blockbuster conclusion to a groundbreaking series? your main character is stuck at a train station. Just waiting for the next one. And it is just a whole bunch of nonsense about how he got there. And that's the thing. You can watch that first movie
Starting point is 00:06:41 and everything makes sense. It's crazy. I rewatch this entire trilogy for this episode. When the first one takes the turn into the weird and you're like, wow, like now we're going someplace. And thankfully, you have Larry Fishburn there. You know, it is the Exposition Express, but you forgive it because it's a new world and we don't know anything about it.
Starting point is 00:07:03 And he's going through and he guides you through and it's totally fine. And then, like, it just devolves into madness. And you're just doing things like a computer program's coming out of the computer world into the real world, which is what happens in this movie. And there's all this nonsense that you have to understand about like the cycles of the Matrix and how the Matrix always has to reload itself. and Neo's not the first one. There's actually been five other dudes. There were five other dudes that had that first movie happen to them. Sir, sir, I never gave a shit.
Starting point is 00:07:39 I absolutely never gave a shit about any of it. See, the second of the third are just like, let's get into the philosophy of the Matrix guy. Fuck you, no. We'll gather around in the common room. And you see, the power of love is actually in the computer system. It's like, what are we doing? The first one is great.
Starting point is 00:08:01 It works as a self-contained movie. It's an action. It's a sci-fi action movie. And heavy on the sci-fi, and it's a good sci-fi, too, right? You know what I mean? Like, you're taking one conceit, uno, and extrapolating it to the utmost. Like, oh, man, what if everybody was in a fucking computer program? Holy shit, bro. Then it's like, well, what if everyone was in a computer program and there was a train guy?
Starting point is 00:08:24 And then there were two ghosts and alpineo people. Some French guy, and he's talking to somebody. There's a keymaker and a gatekeeper. An architect. I always wanted to be an architect, Jerry. Unconfirmed, if you played that Enter the Matrix game, I think that they were were werewolves. Out and out, where I think that they were legit werewolves.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Were they programs? Were they written by the system? Yeah, well, that's some dumb thing that they set up in the second movie where it's like, in the Matrix, if you ever heard pre-tell of a Dracula? or a Frankenstein or a werewolf? Well, that's just a computer program. Rogue program. Yeah, it's called Wolfenstein.
Starting point is 00:09:04 I fucking played it. From 1990 to 1997. Fuck, Castlevania got out. So when we get to this train station, we're greeted by immigrants. There's immigrants that are programs that are like,
Starting point is 00:09:20 we're useless programs, so we're immigrants waiting to be deleted. Totally. They're waiting for a deep portation train, by the way. But at least we saved our daughter. Our daughter, who's also a program. But somehow we're computer programs that have evolved to learn how to love each other. And what the flying fuck are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:09:40 Does a male computer program need to fuck a female computer program to impregnate it when it's in the right cycle? Is there fucking computer birth control? That's what I was. I was like, did they make that one? How is this your daughter? Oh, we were all night coding together? Dude, there was Red Bull flinging all over the walls. I forgot to put on my coating rubber.
Starting point is 00:10:03 And we had an immigrant child. And after I smoked my code cigarette. Do you know, they somehow made Tron for idiots. Now, Tron is pretty dumb. I like it. So do I. It's stupid. This is even dumber.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Well, because we're trying to take the basic idea of Tron, which is a boiled down dumb thing. Sure. Dude in an arcade game or whatever. And this he's called Neo. But yeah, and that's the thing. We're making this whole world where there's all these ins and outs
Starting point is 00:10:38 and this hundred year war that's been going on and all of this nonsense. And people will just jaw at you for minutes and minutes about stuff you could never care about. That's the thing. The two movies combined are four and a half hours of people doing nothing but talking, because that's all it is everybody just flapping their gums.
Starting point is 00:10:58 And if you want to get into the real nitty-gritty of the world of how the Matrix works and Zion and all that, show me where you're making the sunglasses. There are so many sunglasses and there's nary a sun in the sky at any shot. I would kind of like it if you went to Zion and just like there was like a joke Ray Ban Hut and then there was a joke fucking donuts. Oh, that's in the, you know, whatever scary movie that the Matrix was parodied in, probably. But that, oh, man, if you were the guy, like, you know, in like, you know, World of Warcraft or Second Life, how people, like, actually make livings by, like, making computer programs and, like, selling clothes and shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:40 The guy who's selling sunglasses in the Matrix is Bill Gates. It's not, it's not the computer programming guy. It's just whoever Oakley is. The person below that is. The leather craftsman. Yes. Because that dude's pretty rich, too. Working overtime.
Starting point is 00:11:57 So Neo's stuck at this train station. It reminds me of being in my 20s, like waking up in a train station, not knowing what time it is, not knowing when the next train's coming. Oh, yeah. How are you going to get home? Am I being deleted? Yeah, I know. Dude, I have Neo's exact experience. I fell asleep on an uptown A train about six or seven years ago.
Starting point is 00:12:20 I woke up at 207th Street, end of the line. I walked out. It was a train station I'd never been at before, looking around, totally empty, except for an innocent-looking Indian family. And then were you confronted by the gyro captain from the Mad Max movies? I thought that was him. Is that him, actually? Yes, it is him. And, uh, train man.
Starting point is 00:12:45 Dave Ventura, when nature calls, he's one of the poachers. Yes, that's right. How come he wasn't in Fury Road? I've been thinking about that for like a solid month now. I heard that, I heard. I heard an interview with George Miller where he said that he wanted to put a gyrocopter in Fury Road. But they ended up not doing it. And he was never going to make it the gyro captain.
Starting point is 00:13:06 It wasn't going to be the same guy. I mean, I guess, yeah. Just the same vehicles. All right. I guess that's fair. You want to sort of reboot the whole thing. That's a great character, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:17 That fella. So I guess at the end of the second. movie, both Neo and this character Bain are in comas together. It ends with Neo, like all these little sentinels are coming at them, and he puts his hand up outside of the Matrix and controls robots. Boo, that makes me mad. Like, the first, you're breaking every rule you have in that movie, which is like, it's all about hackers. It's like a really cool hacker movie. It's the coolest hacker movie ever, right? It's the movie Hackers wanted to be. Yeah, it's just like
Starting point is 00:13:51 oh man, I'm such a good hacker. I can be sexy, I could do like backflips and karate kicks and all sorts of shit. Run sexy.exe. That's what everybody did in that first movie. You're right. Totally. And that's great. And then what these other two are, specifically
Starting point is 00:14:06 this third one is like, yeah, we know you like that first one and all the stuff we set up, but there's just a bunch of stuff we didn't tell you just yet. And that's a crock of shit. When it's Like, oh, yeah, the one can do this, this, and this in that first movie. But then he's also learning how to do that, that, and that. No way, dude.
Starting point is 00:14:25 It's like if Luke can teleport and return to the Jedi, you'd be like, well, that's just horseshit. Oh, he just reached the next tier of being a Jedi. This is something we've never seen before in Jedi history. He's night crawler now. Yeah, now he's night crawler. But yeah, so they're in these comas and they're like, oh, wait a second. He, Neo's not having brainwaves that, you know, look like someone who has coma brainwaves.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Sure. He actually looks like he's tapped into the Matrix. And the whole thing is, oh, my God, how did he split and go into the Matrix while he's not jacked in or whatever they say? Let's break some more rules. Just throw him right in the garbage. Why not? So that's all going on. And then there's the biggest problem with this third movie.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Not a lot of time spent in the Matrix. Nope. Nope. Yeah, it's the Matrix without the Matrix. Yep, it's just a whole lot of hanging out in this gross military base in Zion. And because of that, specifically, like the first movie, what was so cool about was that most of those fights were hand-to-hand combat. There were big fucking physical fight scenes. They were kung fu movies.
Starting point is 00:15:31 And now it's all like Terminator machines firing at you. And like, I wanted fights, motherfucker. Like, that's what I, and even reloaded, as bad as it is, how. has a lot of fights. There's some awesome fights in that second movie. And this is all guns. It's all just big white, yellow blasts of bullet light. You can't see shit. This is an ugly-ass movie. You're shooting ugly robots in the ugly face. And when I was re-watching the first one, I was like really taken by the eye, how little you see those things, the sentinels in that movie. Because they knew that they don't look great. We're just trying to get this story by here, everybody. And then we're going to get back to the actual fights. And that's the other thing that's annoying, too, is in that first movie, because he hasn't learned how to fly or anything, it really is just some, like, traditional, like, Hong Kong wirework stuff. And it's awesome.
Starting point is 00:16:30 And then when you get into these other two, we're flying all over the place. The physics is ridiculous. And it loses any kind of cool, like, we're looking. at wirework because you have to make Keanu Reeves a cartoon to fight all these Hugo weaving cartoons. So it's just a bunch of computer animation instead of the impressive fight choreography. It looked
Starting point is 00:16:50 so bad that once we cut back to Keanu Reeves as a human being, I was thrown off because I could actually see like his hair and it wasn't just like a block. It's just like a little Lego guy with sunglasses, fighting. It's so terrible looking.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Well, there are in the, we'll get to the fight scene at the end, but with agent smith but like when he punches him it's as the the effects are as bad as son of the mask when when he gets that slow motion punch oh man that's really bad it's so bad i was watching fucking buster douglas boxing from 1993 how the hell does he get out of purgatory again well he's basically uh he's going to he's in he's dressed like he's about to get all
Starting point is 00:17:39 the ass in the world at a fucking cowboy be bob convention he's got the long the long coat all black some sunglasses he's gonna fucking get that shit wet tonight cleaning up all the panels at the Hilton convention lots of black mascara
Starting point is 00:17:55 all over your face and he's I guess like Trinity Morpheus and this dude Saraph who nobody cared about Seraph's just the dude that's like a sign to keep the Oracle safe
Starting point is 00:18:11 by moving her from one what appears to be poverty-stricken apartment to another? I don't know why the Oracle has to live in these slums. I don't know either. She's always... Make it a fucking mansion. She is always in these 60-story high-rise slums
Starting point is 00:18:27 straight out of dread. And you're just like, why are you living here? You're the Oracle. I mean, I guess it's because she's supposed to be in hiding or whatever. But so they go to her and they're like, all right, what the fuck is going on in this movie? And she's, oh, have you noticed? I'm a different old black lady now.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Man, so yes, the original actress, like, passed away. She passed away. And then, like, the whole, what they decide to do with it. The concede is, like, part of the oracle's, like, cover got blown. So she had to change what she looked like. That happens in the video game I read, by the way, which you can go fucking fly and fuck yourself. You could fly up in the air, circle around. In the rain.
Starting point is 00:19:07 In the rain. and go fuck yourself. Because let's touch on that real quick before we get back to the Oracle. Here's the thing. They attempted to do this like cross-platform world nonsense
Starting point is 00:19:19 where it was like these three movies, the video game world and the animatrix, which I got through like two and a half of and never went back to. And the whole thing is like
Starting point is 00:19:29 you hear from big fans of this franchise like well actually it all kind of comes together if you played the video game and you watched every episode. You know what? Fuck you. You're putting out these movies.
Starting point is 00:19:39 I'm going to a movie theater. Everything better make sense. Everything. Also, you know, why the 10-year rule exists on this beloved show is because 10 years later, you got to look at this thing in the cold lighted day and you're like, you know what, I'm not going to fuck and plug in a PS2. I'm not going to go on eBay and spend $30 on a PS2 by this game and play it just to understand what the hell is going on in this movie. I mean, thankfully, those... And in five years, that's even less relevant. And even less relevant.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Those same cross-platform apologists are the people that will then upload all that information to Wikipedia. So we have that now and it's fine. But like to force people to do this, one, don't tell me that it's like just your innovative storytelling thing. It's your cash cow. You want people to go out and do all this nonsense. They did a similar thing with Lost, but the thing with Lost was like it was all bonus nonsense that didn't matter. You got everything in the show. Wait, they had a lost video game?
Starting point is 00:20:39 There was a lost video game. There was like side web things that you would watch, but it was all extra shit. Like, want to see what that guy did last Wednesday on the island? Oh, go watch him do his laundry. Like, it didn't matter. Like, you could still follow the show. Right. But this is like, by the time you get to revolutions, if you haven't played the game and read the comics and watch those terrible animatrix shorts.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Like, you're just, I hear so much Swiss cheese. We're going to get letters now. I'm sure. And if you like it, that. That's fantastic. But I just don't have the time for it. I don't like things where it's like we're doing a bunch of animated things and it's all different animation styles. There was a Batman thing that was kind of like that.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Well, I also just don't, a movie shouldn't be giving me homework. Yeah. It really shouldn't. Like, if it's going to be that, it's going to be that. And like, it's got to be self-contained to a certain degree. And this, I guess they end on a closure, sort of, but not really. What they? This movie?
Starting point is 00:21:37 This movie. Oh, I guess so. Sort of, but like, again, I don't give a shit because all of it's been guns and bad effects anyway. Right. So the Oracle has decided, well, my cover's blown as an elderly black woman. Let's just turn into a different elderly black woman.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Like, they're looking for you in the Matrix. Listen, you see a lot of these extras in the Matrix walking around. Not a lot of elderly black ladies. Sorry to break the news to you. oracle but maybe you should try to blend in a little bit okay okay just hold on a guy get rid of briscoe and curtis and then we can do that i'll change i'll change again man if you know it's like we gotta go to the oracle they opened the door and pat marita opened it and it was like yeah i would fucking start jerk it off yeah oh yeah absolutely that's how you'd change
Starting point is 00:22:29 the oracle around was i think he was dead by then too was he 2003 maybe i don't know he was a Really? In 2003? Sure. This would have been a great role for him then. Or Caesar Romano? No, Caesar Romero was definitely dead. Oh, he's long dead. He's buried with that mustache. Do you think he was buried with the Joker makeup on? No.
Starting point is 00:22:49 The suit, at least. I guarantee you, you know what? Some fucking fucked up mortician was like... So did it into the lining. No, it's just like, you know, it's the night of right before the wake. And he's like, hey, Johnny. Johnny, come look at this. You're an idiot, man.
Starting point is 00:23:03 And it's the Joker makeup on it. Washed that off. The family will be here in an hour. You wouldn't believe what they do to bodies. Oh, dude, they're fucking... They're posing with pictures. Did you... Did you dye this hair green? We're not going to be...
Starting point is 00:23:17 Shave his head. Now we've got to put a wig on it. It's it. You dyed it neon green. Fucked my whole morning up, Jerry. You know, you're not running this place yet. I still got three more months to retirement. Where did you find this lipstick?
Starting point is 00:23:31 Oh, you brought it from all. Great. That's wonderful. Valerie let you... Okay, that's great. Oh, they got the lip stuff. stick there. I can't wait for Danny DeVito to die so I could do that, the penguin to him. It'll take me six days.
Starting point is 00:23:42 You'll have to get him in makeup at 3 a.m. before his call for the funeral at 10. And another nugget of bullshit, which is Neo is stuck somewhere between the world of the Matrix
Starting point is 00:23:57 and the world of the machines. How? I don't know. Who cares? Because here's the thing. These sequels use the one as a catch-off for whatever horseshit you want to throw into this story. So it's just oh, why is he stuck between these two worlds?
Starting point is 00:24:13 Why he's the one? I don't know. He's the one. Eventually, I mean, he's going to get out. I mean, he's the one. What do I think he's going to do? Opposite side of that. Well, how is Agent Smith allowed to go into the real one? Oh, he's the anti one. Don't look out for him. He's even worse.
Starting point is 00:24:29 He doesn't double backwards on you. It's bad. That's what we learn in this movie is that Smith and Neo are equals opposite sides of the coin they are why and it's well it's it's it's it's like because in that first movie neo flies into smith to destroy him yeah yeah and apparently he's able to regenerate after that anyway destroying the impact that that first movie had yeah yeah the second movie really doesn't explain that he's just like mr anderson he's like did you miss me something of you might have imprinted on
Starting point is 00:25:05 me yeah and because the one again it's just nonsense i got some of the one stuff on me mr anderson mr anderson you left some of your goop inside me and not that like you know if you want to get your villain in here man i love hugo weaving and all but get a bigger guy to play your villain yeah and like move on since move but it's he is great i'm you mean instead of bringing agent smith back Yes, because Aege Smith was a great villain in the first one. He was so good. Well, you know, they try to get you with that Frenchman. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:42 They tried to, but you know what? Steve, if you had played the video game, you would get it. See how brutal he was. Dude, Lambert Wilson wakes up every night and just cries about Christoph Walsh's career, right? Like, it's just like, yeah. That's a real fucking course correction. Like, nope. But this Merovingian or whatever they're calling him, like, you listen to this dude
Starting point is 00:26:04 talk in these movies, especially in this third one. How do you stay awake? It is just babble talk. It's nonsense. Jibber jabber. And it's something about like he traffics banished programs and hides them
Starting point is 00:26:20 for money. And the camera keeps like ambling over to Monica Balucci's breasts as he's talking. No, no, no, no. Over here. Over here. Over here. I have more fucking nonsense philosophy. She's another piece of shit useless character. Yeah. Yeah. She's it's there for
Starting point is 00:26:35 um looking visual effect well let's get this yeah there you go it's 20 the movie's been on for 20 minutes we've had nothing but expository dialogue that's gone nowhere yep let's fucking haul ass to a sex club man it's the matrix I've been here for 20 minutes yep and I've not seen one sex club yet
Starting point is 00:26:52 is this the evolution of like chat rooms and stuff eventually oh it'll just be all sex clubs just going to be a bunch of gimps all sex humping together the interesting like uh progression of clubs that we get in these movies. The first one before he's like Propositioned by
Starting point is 00:27:09 Morpheus and Trinity and everything he's just at like what's sort of it's like a hacker club you know it's like there's a bunch of steampunkers in there dancing and whatnot that second one is when we get the Zion dance party and then there is another
Starting point is 00:27:26 place that they go to if I'm not mistaken well they go to his the club again yeah they do go to the sex club and the sex club is it the same sex club Because there is, I guess, I guess when they went into the sex club in revolutions, it was on bondage night. Yeah, it's just, well, here the, the leather daddy code split, and then it came back into itself. So it was double, so everybody had to be a leather daddy at once. It just is the worst.
Starting point is 00:27:56 It just, I don't know, why is, not even that that's bad. It's just like, why is that in this movie? What's that doing? Hey, dude, what's that doing? Because it's supposed to look cool. But it doesn't make sense that this supposedly like highfalut and French guy and his like highfalut and French wife or Italian wife are, you know, these big so-and-soes within the Matrix are hanging out of this fucking basement dungeon that he owns? And also why do you want to watch, I don't know, like if I'm a computer program, why don't want to watch other computer programs have sex? Like I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:27 It's useless. It's not real. That's the thing nobody ever says, hey, you know what, this isn't fucking real. Well, it's real enough that Seifer wanted to be put back in. True. Ignorance is bliss, Steve. Dude, the shadow of Joe Pantiliano hangs heavy over all these movies because he was a character that I could understand that I, you know, he was a bad guy. I didn't like him, but, like, he had some fucking emotion behind his sentences, which was nice.
Starting point is 00:28:54 He had personality. It was the Joe Panteliano stock personality, but his personality. I feel like you attach yourself to this character because it's what you would be. do in this world. Easily. Within seconds. Of course. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:29:06 you would fail to kill Tank. You might get a lucky shot off on Dozer. But Tank's coming back. Like it a not, you son of a bitch, you're still going to burn. Yeah, the spirit of them's just living on in these movies, too. What happens to Tank? Doesn't he die in the second one? Is Tank even in the second one?
Starting point is 00:29:30 He doesn't die in the first one, I don't think. Yeah, he's alive at the end of it because he saves the day. I think the old Yeller him at the end. Oh, shit, dude, was it something that happened in the Animatrix? Oh, yeah. Because I don't think he's in that second one, because the second one, one of the Animatrix shorts is him having cancer. Not like this.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Not like this. Oh, man, that lady not like this. Dude, just getting unplugged. That sucks. The process of getting unplugged seems pretty unpleasant. What was her name, Switch? Swift. Switch? Or the blonde woman? Yeah, I think it's Switch. Switch. Well, I guess you could call her
Starting point is 00:30:07 Kill Switch now. And I think Apoc is the other one. Yeah. Apoc's a person. Or is he in Degeneration X? I can't get them. I can't get them all. I get them always mixed up. Now, we also have like the amping up of like the ins and outs of the military rankings in the resistance.
Starting point is 00:30:31 And this is like I love Star Wars But like all the parts where you're sitting around Watching the Rogue Squadrons Plan shit Nobody cared I don't give a shit You know and to its credit it's quick It is that's what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:30:45 Like I'm getting to it like in and you're out You know what the plan is Han Solo makes fun of somebody And out we go This is just minutes ticking by Of your life Listening to these people Jab back and forth
Starting point is 00:31:00 Guess what? Crimson Tide isn't fun unless you're on a fucking submarine. And Gene Hackman, that needs to be there at the very least. Yeah, this movie, you've got Harry Lennox. Love the man, but he's not Hackman. He's not Hackman, and he's also not hacking it with his dialogue. Cornell West for no reason. Is that actually Cornel West?
Starting point is 00:31:19 He's Councilman West in these movies. They must have really liked him, I guess. What's the deal with this ammo kid? It's like so much the movie just decides, you know what? Who needs Neo? there's a young green behind the year's kid that kind of wants to get into the Zionist military. Well, he's the little rotten turd
Starting point is 00:31:40 from the first movie that Keanu Reeves. Mouse or whatever is that. Oh, the house gets killed. Yeah, he was killed. I think it's just a new character, I think. In the second movie, he comes up to him and he's like, thanks for saving my life. I thought it was mouse.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Oh, maybe. No, mouse gets killed. Mouse is dead. Maybe there's just another little white kid. Yeah. You know, their heads are all shaved. I can't even possibly. Maybe he's rat or something.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Yeah. At some point in the second movie, when they get back to Zion, like at the beginning of Reloaded, he's like, I just wanted to thank you for saving my life and blah, blah, blah. So I guess like just the overall saving of his life. Right before they get down to that fucking raid where they get, like the rave where they all fuck. Oh, yeah. Dude, that's a real fucking orgy. If you keep coming, cutting back to that thing, it's just like, it's the last night,
Starting point is 00:32:28 the machines are going to fucking wipe us out, dude. Oh, yeah. It's just your hands there, fuck it. You know, the light's not going to stay on too much longer. I don't know who's where, what's where. Just get ready for fluid. And that's... Oh, my God. Chris Kavanaugh stars and get ready for fluid.
Starting point is 00:32:46 To your point, condoms do not exist in this post. Why would they? Of course they don't exist. Food barely exists. You guys just made me choose the side of the machine. Exactly. Don't you want to fucking buy it? be Joe Pentleano.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Eating that steak with his chewing with his mouth open like a horse. It's disgusting. Yes. He's a disgusting person in that movie. But I would totally do it in a heartbeat. Oh, yeah. Oh, absolutely. You see what they eat in these other movies.
Starting point is 00:33:15 It's like oatmeal with snot in it. Yeah. Actually, he was reserved. If I was in that situation, I'd be like ordering five plates. I'd be doing a real Monty Python. It's just a dinnaman. If you are a computer simulation, can you become morbidly obese? You know, for some reason there's no fat people in Zion, which I have, I take umbrage with.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Everyone is sexy as hell, though. Yeah, it's just like, come on, there's got to be some, even if food supplies are less, there are fat people still. But there's got to be fat people in the Matrix, right? I mean, I don't think they really, do they even show? I didn't see one hog in the whole thing. You see some dadbods, but like, not anything beyond. Some dad buds are you. Look at you watching entertainment tonight.
Starting point is 00:34:01 No, it was people.com. That's even worse. That's not, that's not, I left the TV on the channel. That's, I went to a website. I intentionally clicked something. But yeah, there's no fat people in the Matrix. It wouldn't make sense because you're only getting like, they're rationing off whatever proteins,
Starting point is 00:34:20 the machines are giving you in your little fucking space pod anyway. Here's the question, though, is the computer system of the Matrix and you're, sure, maybe you in your, VAT in the real world are thin as a rail. Oh, yeah. But you've eaten too many pizza megabytes. Too many cakes of Zah. Yeah. So it's
Starting point is 00:34:38 like San Andreas when you can get fat in that game. I guess so. I'll take your word for it. I haven't played it. Dude. Yeah. Grand Tafoto. That was the dumbest decision ever made by video games. Oh, you better go to the gym. Your criminals getting out of shape.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Give me a break. Oh, give me a break. Just run around this place for a while so that he gets his exercise in. Dude, your character, if it got too fat, couldn't run as fast and would get caught by police easier. What does it matter to be fat in that world? Your weapon is a car, basically, right? At least that's how I play it.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Oh, that's the only way to play those games. I don't even know where we were. I mean, like, he gets out of this train station for who cares, right? Well, that's a thing that was kind of unexplained. Like, they eventually get the train to him. Right. Because they make a deal with this Italian or the French gentleman, you know, because he runs the train guy. Is everybody keeping up with this horse shit?
Starting point is 00:35:37 Yes, that's how they do it. They make a deal. Let's make a deal. And somehow, for whatever reason, which it doesn't hold true to me, the price that they have to pay isn't him shitting on somebody. Or at the very least, like a glass coffee table should be involved. Yeah, something's going on. A real, like, upper crush. I've always wanted
Starting point is 00:36:00 to do this kind of a thing because I'm a perverted computer program I mean he's running all those clubs oh the pervert computer programs
Starting point is 00:36:11 what are we doing they're out there yeah they are they're out there right now yeah he the train guy comes in and like has superpowers and punches Neo through a wall
Starting point is 00:36:21 and he's like you're gonna be here forever man dude was I the only one thinking about Vincent Chivalian ghost. Yes, absolutely. Get off my trade.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Roar, I'm throwing garbage at you. Get out, get out. Oh, I remembered what it is. The Frenchman demands they bring him the eyes of the oracle. Yeah. And I'll help you get Neo out or whatever. But then it's weird. I noticed just rewatching it today that, like, we just cut to a scene where Carrienne
Starting point is 00:36:55 Moss is standing over Keanu Reeves. he just wakes up like whoa there's some nonsense where they do a Mexican standoff where she puts a gun to his head right Monica Bluch is like oh don't she'll do it she's in love and love is the most important emotion
Starting point is 00:37:12 in all of the world oh man there's that scene in the second one where she's like telling Keanu Reeves like I'll help you out I'll help you find the key maker if you kiss me like you kiss her yeah and Karian Moss like puts a gun up to her and then she's like no you
Starting point is 00:37:28 must make out with me so I can show you where this little Asian man is. It is the only way to save the world is to kiss me. Which is amazing that even in the Matrix she's like living this high in society life and she's got a rotten ass husband that has
Starting point is 00:37:43 wandering eyes. There's this whole nonsense where she's like, look at the lipstick on your collar or whatever and you're just like, what the fuck? He's a computer. You're a computer. Everyone's a computer. There's lipstick on your JPEG. But both these sequels, the first one doesn't do it to my knowledge that I remember.
Starting point is 00:38:06 I just, we watched them all too. But the sequels, love this, love that, the power of love. Yep. It's a Harry Lewis video. It's insane. It's all this shit with like, like, with Trinity and Neo where it's like, oh, you love each other. I can tell just by looking at you. You're looking at a.
Starting point is 00:38:28 computer again. They're just all programs. What are we talking about? And that was like a really nice cap to the first one. It was them like it was kind of, I mean it's atypical, like it was going to happen at any, at the end of any action movie. Sure. It's too sexy
Starting point is 00:38:44 white people in a Hollywood film. It's going to happen. You got to get down to fucking sometime. What I didn't need was it to become the entire driving force of these two other movies. And that's all it is. The first movie was about Morpheus and Neo, which is a much more interesting relationship.
Starting point is 00:38:59 That's my problem with these movies, especially this third one. Larry Fishburn takes a fucking backseat, and I can't stand it. Right, they, the Obi-1 canobi him. Totally. At least in the second one, he has the awesome, like, freeway chase. Yeah, he's got a samurai sword and stuff. He's kicking ass in that second movie for that
Starting point is 00:39:15 scene, at least. He does nothing in this movie. He's just sitting. He's wearing that loose sweater. There's one point he's asked to co-pilot a ship. That's what he's doing. Because, nothing. With Jada Pickett Smith. The best in the business, according to flight manual, whatever.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Matrix Weekly. Yeah. So whatever, he fucking wakes up and decides to get on the right train and goes there or whatever. Like, they come and save him something. This is what's, man, it's so annoying. It's impossible to move on to this movie because nothing fucking happens. But here's the thing is because Larry Fishburn and Trinity go to the Oracle and they're like, what's the scoop? And she's like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:56 the space between the spaces. And they're like, that's stupid. Let's get him on the train. And then when he wakes up, and they're like, so what's going on? He's like, I got to go talk to the Oracle. I was like, we just fucking did it. We just did it.
Starting point is 00:40:08 You were just there. Yeah. Couldn't you have fucking Trinity take a message to him? Oh, no. That's okay. Please show the car ride over because this movie's only two hours and 18 minutes anywhere. There is totally a car ride where the, like, Link is just like, did you find him? And Larry Fishburn's like, well, you can't tell.
Starting point is 00:40:26 right here and like it's just Keanu Reeves looking out a window while getting a ride. Just hold on. We're going to catch the sunset here for a little bit. Hold it. Hold it. I can't get a Matrix cab. I don't have a fucking bitcoins
Starting point is 00:40:42 or whatever. And the whole thrust of this thing is like Keanu Reeves as Neo has to get to the source. Yep. The source of all the machine power and whatnot. as prophesied by whoever
Starting point is 00:40:59 who gives a shit which is the a which should be the a story right yes yes because that's what everything is contingent upon even like buying a ticket to see Keanu Reeves fly around and do shit at this point but it's the it's the sea story at best yeah because it gets no attention we're having like we're having committee meetings both in committees
Starting point is 00:41:20 and outside in in the fucking spaceship it's like well how many spaceships do we need to go to this back to the city to Dave everybody. We need to give Neo one, but that'll get us killed. And is everyone just stretching out their sweaters? Dude, how? Like, that's what they must do. You get a nice sweater from the, from the, from the military. And like, I guess based on your rank, they stretch it out more and more. You instantly, if you're starting out in the military, like, you have to, like, stretch it over your knees. Like, you are wearing a comforter. And, you know,
Starting point is 00:41:49 I love the man, but this is, like, 20 minutes of Idris Elba piloting the ship in Prometheus. He's a fine actor and everything, but, like, those are boring scenes when he's just like, oh, well, we've got to go to the planet. There's something weird with the planet. I don't know if that's a planet. I don't like watching people drive places. That's why that movie, Locke, I wanted to slit my own throat because it's 85 minutes of that jerk just driving around solving work problems on a fucking speaker phone talking about, oh, how you're going to pour cement, pour me to sleep. the Jada Bigot Smith comes around and she's like I'm the best
Starting point is 00:42:30 and everyone's like well how I'm the best that's why you didn't play the video game yeah exactly they say something about she did it before possibly in a video game right that's how she earned her rose tinted sunglasses she's the most powerful
Starting point is 00:42:45 sunglasses in the known matrix verse dude she's looking through rose colored glasses everything about this situation looks much better to Yeah, if you, and if you are the best, you get a cape coat. But only the best gets a cape coat. Holy shit. Neo wearing this cape coat?
Starting point is 00:43:03 Oh, yeah. I don't know. The first movie didn't have that, right? Well, I think you get that at the end. It's a ceremonial cape coat. It is because that's when he jumps up at the end. What an asshole. Right before.
Starting point is 00:43:13 This is like someone wearing their dress uniform all the time. Yeah. Yep. It's kind of a fatigue day, Neo. No, no, no. Dressed to the nines. But, yeah. Yeah, at the end of the first movie, when he jumps up right his rage against the machine hits,
Starting point is 00:43:28 he's got his little cape coat on. No pop songs in this movie, by the way. Big problem for me. No new metal. Couldn't even afford new metal. Couldn't even be bothered with new metal. See, that's the thing. The first song had pop music and it worked better.
Starting point is 00:43:42 This is like orchestral nonsense, self-important bullshit. Yes, absolutely. And it's not the... It's all Wagner. Top to bottom. You know what's amazing? The end credits of that second movie, because I was waiting to see if there was a little stinger, which there was. But right at the end of the credits, there is a Paul Oakenfold remix of Dave Matthews bands When the World Ends.
Starting point is 00:44:13 Kill Me Yesterday. I'm sitting there, like, it's late at night. The credits are, like, going through. And I start hearing, like, what sounds like Dave Matthews, but we're scratching all over. it like what is this nonsense sure enough it's paul oakenfold taking a dump on something not even something i give a shit about but you made a bad song sound worse yeah you could still smell the shit the first one had the prodigy for crying out loud because that's music hackers listen to exactly and it's a movie about hackers so all right jade's the jada picket smith is the
Starting point is 00:44:47 best yes she's going to be the pilot of one ship yeah they're going to give the a whole other ship to Neo and Trinity to have their bizarre religious adventure that nobody really believes in. And it's like there's some fighting going on. There's a dude
Starting point is 00:45:02 who's like vaguely Australian and where is this guy from, this third captain, the white guy with the gray hair? Oh. I feel like he's popped up in a couple things playing similar military figures.
Starting point is 00:45:13 Again, like he's a pretty important character. He's the guy that's like, he's the hard-nosed whatever that's like, we can't give up these resources. It's war, man. Get anybody. Damien Lewis.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Get Damien Lewis, get me fucking Josh, Josh Charles, Josh Malina. Oh, man, you're not enough talking to talk for Josh Charles. Yeah, you're turning on Josh Charles now. How do you like him now? I would fucking pay money to see Josh Charles in this movie. And I hate his guts. What about like a correspondence with a character? Oh, I know that guy?
Starting point is 00:45:44 You know who could say the dialogue in this movie and sound like he's vaguely believing it as John Voight? Get John Void in this movie. Yes. As some sort of highfalutin military commander. Michael Ironside. Oh, he'll spout some nonsense like you wouldn't believe. You put Michael Ironside in this movie. Suddenly, I think the resistance can win.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Yeah, they don't have a chance until Ironside shows up, which, by the way, recently rewatch scanners, he's fucking phenomenal. He's great, man. Well, he just shows up, but they're like, he's a robot. Like, no, I'm just here to hell. Oh, no. Oh, no, they're murdering me. That's something this world doesn't have. Androids.
Starting point is 00:46:21 No. No, androids infiltrating. Because it's all, you know, it's a poor future. And that just boars me. It is. You need shiny flying cars and sports almanacs. Just in a post-apocalyptic where we're all fucking just scraping by and loose sweaters. Yeah, we're eating garbage.
Starting point is 00:46:41 We're handing down sweaters through generations. It's not a delightful image. And every time they're getting back to Zion, it's all like, ah, home, sweet home. And I'm like, I'm literally. Living in the Matrix. Fuck it. Screw your oatmeal snot food that I have to eat. I mean, I appreciate the orgies, but...
Starting point is 00:47:02 Oh, well, the orgies are fantastic. They're wonderful and all, but like, no, not for me. At this point, does it matter to break free from the Matrix and reclaim the Earth? It's fucking garbage. You live and die seemingly the same rate. You can age until old age in the Matrix and then die. Like, what does it matter? Does it matter to know the truth?
Starting point is 00:47:23 And now, by the time that you've all, like, uploaded yourself with every kind of knowledge in the universe, you could go back and become a billionaire, like, tomorrow. Do you get that game genie? Get that Matrix Game Genie, rig that shit. Here's the thing, fellas. These are all the questions that the machines want you to start asking. Oh, I see.
Starting point is 00:47:44 That's how you follow. Right, I should live in the basement of Earth eating garbage. because it's cursed earth up top You can't do shit Yeah it's nothing Waiting to be slaughtered by a bunch of metal birds But this is This is what they have
Starting point is 00:48:01 Alfred Hitchcock's metal birds It's just the tippy Hedron movie With a Metallica soundtrack That's dumb No but what they don't think of Because we get a glimpse of it At the end of this movie Is that like
Starting point is 00:48:17 If you get above the nonsense like it's still nice out, we need some shield-esque airship things. Why not? Get those going. We've got some pretty good technology. We've got all sorts of saws and drills and propellers for no reason. How are they making these ships, by the way?
Starting point is 00:48:32 I have no idea. Yeah, you got those ships. It's Craptown down there. It's 2100, whatever. What is going on in space? Yeah, we're not talking about space in this movie, and I feel that's because this is a future in where we focus more on making dumb robots that can think,
Starting point is 00:48:48 as opposed to thinking about shooting for the stars. Why aren't the robots shooting for the stars? Now, they said in the first movie that we, the human race, kind of nuked the sky because the machines depended on solar energy. That's why they have humans' batteries. It was a botched plan.
Starting point is 00:49:05 It was probably conceived by President Rick Santorum. Ooh, that's talking about dystopia. Dude, put me in the Matrix. I don't know what. You know what? Don't even put me in the Matrix. Put me in the fucking grass. But if the machines just got above the stratosphere, they don't need the fucking matrix.
Starting point is 00:49:25 They don't need humans at all. What is going on? Suck up one generation's worth of energy and get the fuck out of there. Well, there's some weird thing. Get a fucking air purifier. Build an air purifier. If that's the case. Well, it's weird because when they're on the tail end of their religious pilgrimage with the ship
Starting point is 00:49:44 and they're trying to get through and, you know, Trinity's like, well, or need, says like fly up to the sky or whatever so trinity flies up all these robots like fall off for some reason yeah i don't know if it's like a temperature thing like it gets too cold up there or what the deal is imagine if if trinity and neo had to fly to mars we got to defeat them at mars that's where they all you're like yeah why would the machines i just can't believe they're down earth are the machines capable of understanding like that they're on a planet i mean they're genius machines right? I guess so. They made their own planet inside a computer
Starting point is 00:50:22 program. They become self-aware, so they get like the entire history of the planet. They've got it all. Yeah, they've got it at all. They know what NASA is. They have all NASA's computers. They've read Codd backwards and forward, man. They know everything. And they have read Infinite Jest. Yeah. I'll tell you what, those robots definitely read Infinite Jest.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Run InfiniteJest.t.T. Trying to remember outdated PC file formats. Oh, sorry. e-pub. We shouldn't have destroyed the Earth before George R.R. Martin's finished Game of Thrones.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Right? Yeah. So they should... Well, then a bunch of robots can do some robot GOT role play. Oh, no, but that's the thing. It's like every cycle of the Matrix. It only gets to like season five
Starting point is 00:51:06 a Game of Thrones. And then it fucking crashes again. And they're like, God fucking damn it. And that's when they reboot the Matrix to be Westeros. Yes. And then there's, let's see, how John Snow will fare this round.
Starting point is 00:51:20 Why is it that the machines are cool with giving humanity a shot? Like the whole thing about like the cycles of the matrix is such that like in every matrix cycle, the one comes around and the whole thing is the one has to go find the fucking keymaster and the key master lets them through the door where he talks to the architect and the architect is like, hey,
Starting point is 00:51:41 you can either reset the whole thing or I can destroy the matrix and they reset it. But, like, why have that option? You could either reset it or remove the cartridge and blow on. Get some rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and get all that gunk out of there. Supposedly, it's all for battery power. Yes. It's ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:52:01 I mean, the first movie's good, but the whole premise is faulty. It's incredibly fault. It's incredibly false. The first thing that's so crazy is when he gets, like, when he actually wakes up in the jelly. Yeah. And, waking up in the jelly, by the way. Oh, man, I've been there. And all the stuff like
Starting point is 00:52:17 detaches from him. Yes. The machine doesn't kill him. But she's like, I got lost another one. Because what that is... I'm on break. Just like not dealing with this email right now. Gonna leave that up to X-0-7-4.
Starting point is 00:52:34 That's his problem. Fuck you, boss bot. Fill this format out. Give me shit about taking to lunch. What that is, though, is they also let them die because they, like, feed, like... They feed on the death jelly. The dead...
Starting point is 00:52:53 The dead get turned into jelly, and they're fed to the babies. Yeah, it's like, oh, toad's fucked up, bro. It's, like, crazy cannibalism shit. I'm surprised they don't have those wacky monkey brain diseases. Oh, I bet they do. They probably... Entire crops were lost. So...
Starting point is 00:53:10 So, they're going on their religious journey, and you think that's what the movie's going to be. Yes. And we wasted 41 minutes in a train station going nowhere. And now it's like we're going. Now it's all about preparing for the battle of Zion and holy shit. We got to keep the dock together. And it's this old general and this young kid and they're all in fucking Gundam suits and I wanted to throw.
Starting point is 00:53:31 And I don't know a single one of them. I don't know anybody at this party. Well, this dude, this general Mifune just comes out of nowhere as if, again, I bet he was a real high up player at the Cracker factory in the video. game. Oh, in the Anim Matrix. He's the main character. Is he? No, I don't. Oh. Well, because this, they're like, oh, it's General Mafune. Well, fucking whoopty-do? And everyone's, like, kissing
Starting point is 00:53:55 his feet. And I'm like, who's that guy? And he's apparently leading this whole army of mech warriors. You know what Star Wars had the good grace to do? He's like, you know what? We got a boring general character. He's going to spit a lot of exposition and tell you a lot about military strategy. I got an idea. Make him a
Starting point is 00:54:11 calamari. You know what I mean? Like, make him a big fat squid. So he's got a fish fish. He'll be interesting at least to look at. Yeah, exactly. I'm going to tell you what to do. Make this guy a fish. Crawfish me, a general. But yeah, this guy's just bark in orders, and then Harry Lennox's
Starting point is 00:54:29 barking orders, and it's just like 57 minutes of people yelling at each other. And then there's the, it's dozer's wife or so, no, Link's wife. Link's wife and Dozer's widow. And Gina Torres from Firefly. She knows she doesn't play. She knows
Starting point is 00:54:45 something to do about a dirty future. Yeah, that's another poor people future, Firefly. Yeah, and you know, I can't believe that these sequels get I get to know Dozer's brother-in-law. Dude, okay. The shadow of Dozer hangs heavy
Starting point is 00:55:01 over this entire film. Dude, all of their dialogue is like, well, what would dozer think of this? If you were doing this for Dozer, wouldn't you join the resistance? Dude, Dozer is barely a character of the first movie. He yells when tank is shot and then he gets shot end of dozer i actually think the orgy in the first one
Starting point is 00:55:21 or the second one rather is dozer is like it's the dozer prayer oh yeah we have to fall shit we're celebrating it's a fuck ritual yeah yeah blood sugar sex magic magic magic sex magic i'm gonna put a sock on my dick hold on and i mean literally the next 30 minutes is people in Mech suits screaming while firing white guns at nothing. Dude, this General Mufune, 99.7% of this dude's dialogue is, like, while he fires these guns. It's like, what is the directing that the Wachowski's are doing for this? So put your arms up like this and then just scream while looking just to the right of the camera. And then they spend so much time on the Bve or whoever this kid is.
Starting point is 00:56:13 is getting ready to make an ammo run that happens at the very end of it. I'm like, I could not give a shit less about it. I'm praying for his death. And we've got the other two ladies with the bazooka, and that's boring. And all these fucking sentinels are moving like sentient bees in a cartoon.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Oh, yeah. I almost had a heart attack. Because it's like they'll form an arrow. Like, go this way. Turned to a big fist and they smash the control center. And these sentinels, you know, when you see them attacking ships, in the other movies.
Starting point is 00:56:44 They bring out the little laser cannons and start shooting up the ships. For some reason, you can't use those on people. We got to, oh, I'm going to claw your face with my little razor hands. Dude, they tear up that general's face something good. He looks like when you get like barbecue spare ribs
Starting point is 00:57:01 at Chinese takeout, that's what his face looks like. It's a Kruger death. He gets attacked by like a million of them. There should be nothing left, but a chattering skeleton. You'd think. they just cut his head off instantly almost, right?
Starting point is 00:57:16 It would be pretty cool. There is one dude. These things are how to kill humans, right? They know where the fucking organs are. They don't leave anybody a lot. This would be more chilling. It's that little ammo kids running around like, oh, I got to get this to Shiro Mofuni general.
Starting point is 00:57:28 And then his head plops down, right? Oh, it falls out of the mecks suit under the ground. And it's just like, and you like focus on it. It's like, it's a chilling moment. Instead, we got him going, Ah, my face! My face is cut. Shut up something good.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Because so it's 45 minutes in the middle of this movie is this battle. And Jada Pinkett Smith is driving the thing back and she's got the EMP. Because that's the whole thing in all these movies is all you do is hit an EMP and then like we'll lose cable reception for a while. But it's cool because all those robots are dead. Right. And so we're waiting on that. And she's doing like the impossible flight thing that no one's, you know, believe that she could do. Well, it's amazing because they're all sitting around the cockpit like 12 dudes.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Dude, sit down in the cockpit, like, oh, man, she's going to make it. And then they start getting attacked. Oh, we should get to the gun stations. I'm like, why aren't you there anyway? Like, why would you have to run there? Yeah, prepare yourselves. Now that they're bombing us with drills, because we live underground. Dude, these drills that just fall down once they're done drilling,
Starting point is 00:58:31 the fucking Dr. Robotnik drills, that does all the little birds inside them. That'd be great. Mega man villain should start coming out. Now we're talking. Want to cut 15 minutes out of this movie? just have fucking Jada Pickett Smith and Lawrence Fishburn show up
Starting point is 00:58:48 before the battle even starts and maybe we get some major deaths Yeah In that way You gotta start losing some of those guys It's a huge crew And I don't know any of them Harold Parano makes it through this movie
Starting point is 00:59:00 And I'm like you know what That's bullshit Dozers brother-in-law Makes it through That and it should be the opposite Just Yes Due to the simple science of foreshadow, right?
Starting point is 00:59:15 Because, like, the second movie, like, she's all pissed off. Like, you're going back out on the Nebuchadnezzar. Well, Jesus Christ, you just got here. You know, and he's like, we got to bury Dozer tonight. Well, one, we got to do it for Dozers. So let's not forget, we're doing it for Dozers. I got these E-Tabs for Dozer's funeral because we're going to have a night. I actually had the thought that I wished I was doing Ecstasy watching these sequels.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Oh, sure. It would probably be pretty cool. just dealing with that. Well, that was part of the Wokowski Sibling's whole plan is that you had to watch all these movies. You had to play the video game. Take ecstasy, watch the animatrix, and then do the whole
Starting point is 00:59:52 fucking thing again, and then you understand it. Then you truly unlock the secret of the Matrix. They were Roland Mali directing this, right? Oh, they must have been. Must have been. All over the place. But the whole thing with Harold Peronauts set up, like, you better come back to me, you better come back to me. Dude has to be sacrificing
Starting point is 01:00:08 himself for Zion. Or Morpheus sacrifices himself for him. Like, you don't need, like, why not... Since Lawrence Fishburn does nothing in this movie, you might as well kill him off in a heroic fashion. Yeah. He should at least get that. Instead, he shakes Keanu Reeves' hand and gives him a hug.
Starting point is 01:00:24 And that's it. That's it. Real heroes. Oh, and then he gets yelled at. So here's, like, Morpheus. Like, this, like, great mythological hacker who turns out to be, like, the leader of this, like, resistance faction, and this not the other thing.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Well, no, Keanu Reeves is Jesus. He's like the John the Baptist. Yeah, yeah, I guess so did, yes. But then, by the time this third movie's going on, he's getting yelled at by Jada Pinkett Smith because he can't use a touchpad fast enough. Like, she's talking about, like, you know, adjust these coordinates or whatever,
Starting point is 01:00:53 and then it turns out like he's not doing it fast enough, and she's like, keep up, you old piece of shit. And he's like, I thought I was once the star of this friend. Sorry, Miss Pinkett Smith. Something changed, and he became, like, pathetic biff. He's like, why don't you wash that goddamn, spaceship, Morpheus, you loser. Well, they kind of, like, religiously persecute him
Starting point is 01:01:14 throughout the rest of the movie because... Oh, he's getting dumped on this whole time. So this whole thing for 45 minutes, do we see the fucking trauma of the little boy and the fucking little drummer boy, and he finally wins? And then, like, Harry Lennox comes out, he's like, well, that was for nothing. And I'm like, wait, really?
Starting point is 01:01:29 And they're like, well, because they're coming anyway, and it's all terrible. And, like, everyone's yelling at fucking Morpheus, and he's like, but Neo will save us all. And they're like, yeah, right. Churchy. Someone throws a rocket is. head. That's an interesting thing about
Starting point is 01:01:42 the world of Zion is it appears like organized religion has died. Sure. Why would you live at garbage? Right. What what do you have? What loving God? Yeah. But it's funny because there's definitely one point I don't know if it's Jada Pinkett Smith or it might be like one of the other randot dudes.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Like something falls on the floor and someone just goes, well Jesus H. Christ. And I was like he's not here. Well, Neo H. Christ. But someone just drops a Jesus H. Christ and I was like, that's, why did you leave that in he there's no place for that in this i mean i feel like so many people so many of the like third tier characters are like contest winners you know what i mean like you beat the game with the high
Starting point is 01:02:21 yeah with the high score and then you get to be in the movie yeah oh this just reminds me apropos of absolutely nothing did anybody have a matrix screensaver nope no oh i totally did oh really nobody oh that sucks so let's get back to the story anyone cares about sure neo on his ship Right. Bain, who's this character that happens in the second movie that nobody cares about. Is it at this point that Agent Smith takes out the Oracle in the Matrix? Oh, that's earlier in the movie.
Starting point is 01:02:50 That's only 30 minutes into the movie. He just rolls up. He does this. Now I'm the virus. Yeah, I mean, well, because he starts that in the second movie, like just assimilating every person that's in the Matrix. And he finally makes his way to the Oracle and breaks in. And she just like lets it happen Because it's all part of the grander plan
Starting point is 01:03:12 Yeah, it's an Obi-Wan Kenobi death But he lets out this cackle And it's embarrassing for all the movies Yeah So amazing Because he's, I mean this is like the Darth Vader No in episode 3 And there's a quickening here
Starting point is 01:03:25 Not many deaths in the Matrix Get a quickening Oh you're right Because the wind's going all over the place Yeah I guess that's because she actually is Like this real oracle And like he just goes and it just goes on
Starting point is 01:03:39 and we are right in his big New Zealander face and he's just laughing it's a it's an evil laugh I mean what what place does that have in any movie really no it's got a place in every movie I wish it's got a place in every Vincent Price movie oh also a great
Starting point is 01:03:59 he's hambo he's got a fucking ham bone in his mouth this whole movie oh absolutely the first one he's very subdued he's a computer So, like, that's, and that's what makes him so terrifying. And the rest of it is just like, ah, he's kind of like Mark Metcalf in the fucking Twisted Sister video. Is that a pledge pin, Mr. Anderson? The awesome thing that it's actually legitimately awesome that happens in this.
Starting point is 01:04:27 Yeah, I have to actually legitimize the awesomeness in parts of this movie because it's all just dull turds, dull gray turds for two and a half hour. but in the scene right before the Oracle gets assimilated because she gets she's charged with hanging on to the daughter of that immigrant couple that are getting put on a train to wherever so she's like hanging on to this girl because she apparently might also be special of course they don't dip into that too much I should have read the comics got the facts I didn't get any of it you know
Starting point is 01:04:56 but there's it starts with like she's helping the Oracle make a batch of cookies yeah so then like so then like she goes off with the protector there, whatever that's... Seraph. Yeah, Seraph is there, and she goes off with him. So then she's like, the oracle's like, hey, what happened to the little girl? And one of the Agent Smith comes out and he's like,
Starting point is 01:05:17 these cookies are delicious. I'm like, you fucking assimilated that child. Awesome. Slash, why couldn't I see it happen? Just a little girl get Hugo weaving's hand stuck in her. And then she expands into a Hugo Green. I feel that's why.
Starting point is 01:05:33 You can't make it grow. They didn't have that effect. Oh, a little tiny, a little tiny Hugo weaving. That'd be great. My God. That's the one thing I never knew I needed until right now.
Starting point is 01:05:47 If I just had a little agent Smith running around at this movie. Oh, totally. Mr. Anderson. Yes. Imagine the last Neo fight with all the agent Smiths and then just a little one gets on his back and start stabbing them. Yes.
Starting point is 01:06:02 Oh, well, on the contrast to that, How about a giant agent Smith? Why not a giant? I feel like there was like some sort of possibly like an original draft of this third screenplay that was like, well, then they all just get together and it's a big monster he's got to fight. It was two bad choices and they didn't choose that one. Here's the thing is this movie gets so dumb. Just give me Godzilla Agent Smith walking around the Matrix, fighting. He's like opening windows like Mr. Anders.
Starting point is 01:06:35 not in here let's go to the next one and by the way at this point like everyone in the Matrix is just dead right like he literally assimilates everybody we don't get a population we're only in like a fake New York the entire time like is it
Starting point is 01:06:50 more than that is there can you do international travel in the Matrix clearly they have France in some capacity imagine you're watching the news and it's like well America or Australia or wherever this takes place has just been it's all one guy now. Like, the world
Starting point is 01:07:07 is over. The crops have been long. Mr. Anderson, I am now the president of the United States. And I am the treasurer. And I'm the treasurer's wife. And yes, we are all having sex with each other. Certainly, Mr. Anderson.
Starting point is 01:07:25 Wait a second. I'm pregnant. You're saying... Breaking news. President Smith is the best. Reminded me of the astronaut's wife. And now I'm thinking in the Matrix, is there a space program and is there a space
Starting point is 01:07:40 of the Matrix? That's what I'm thinking, dude. Is this like a Truman Show situation where that boat's going to rip through the screen? It might be. It depends on how much code they've written, I guess. I know. How many hours of Red Bull they're on? Mr. Anderson, come down to the learning annex. I'm
Starting point is 01:07:56 doing Hamlet. Mr. Anderson, if you're free at 1135 on Saturday, my new improv team is playing a show in the basement of an Italian restaurant. We need Neo's voicemail. Let's go through them all. That's what this movie's lacking.
Starting point is 01:08:20 Mr. Anderson, it's Agent Smith's birthday today. No, you know the one down from 14th Street. The funny one. Mr. Anderson, this is your doctor, Dr. Agent Smith. calling to tell you, Mr. Anderson. The results are in and you've tested positive. There'd be another one calling about another birthday.
Starting point is 01:08:47 Oh, on and on. Mr. Anderson, it's your grandmother, Agent Smith. Why don't you ever come here? I don't know how to fix my VCR, Mr. Anderson. Mr. Anderson, it's your ex-girlfriend, Agent Smith. My father's in the hospital. It would meet a lot if you could just call me for a minute. Oh, that Facebook would be so boring.
Starting point is 01:09:12 Man, those updates would be great, though. They all use the same profile picture. Mr. Anderson, just calling to let you know the good news. We're pregnant. Mr. Anderson, I would enjoy if you would stop drunkenly texting me at night. Just move on. Mr. Anderson, just move on. There are plenty of other agent
Starting point is 01:09:38 Smiths out there. Oh, man, did you hear about... Oh, man, did you hear in Iron Man 2, they're replacing Agent Smith with Agent Smith? I personally don't think that casting will gel. It's awkward watching Iron Man 1, and Agent Smith says, next time, baby.
Starting point is 01:10:04 And you know that Agent Smith is just going to replace him in the next one. What's your favorite Hulk? The one played by Agent Smith or the one played by Agent Smith? You know, it's really annoying because in these Avengers movies, they just keep casting Mr. Smiths. How about you try casting a couple of Mr. Smiths in these movies? Oh, my God. I just love the idea of now.
Starting point is 01:10:30 Now, they're controlling Hollywood now, and they're doing all types of stuff. That's the weird thing. There's no, like, celebrity culture in the Matrix. No. That would have been cool. I mean, there must be because Joe Pantliano wants to become an actor. He's like, oh, make you a little throwaway guy. Want to be a millionaire.
Starting point is 01:10:47 Let me make me an actor. That piece of shit. It's so rude. It's so rude to chew with your mouth. We didn't even get to the part where his eyes get burned out. I want to get there. Oh, yeah, sure. So, Bain, Mr. Agent Smith takes over this guy, Bain.
Starting point is 01:11:02 It's useless. He's doing a really bad impression. It's in the last. movie, by the way. And again, like, make this character a woman, make him, like, an African-American woman talking like, you know, Hugo Weaving, that's fucking chilling. But then are we using a dub, though? Yeah, well, I mean, people could do an impression.
Starting point is 01:11:16 We just did a really bad impression. Oh, that's true. That's true. That's how this guy got the job doing a bad impression, a Hugo Weaving. So he stows away, and we all know how I feel about stowaway. And now, to be clear, this is... He didn't belong. Agent Smith is now in the real world in this guy. Yes, he's some... It happens in the second.
Starting point is 01:11:34 movie where this dude Bain is trying to use the phone to get called out of the Matrix and Agent Smith starts finger fucking him like right before it happens. Yep. Then he wakes up and kills Leo McGarry's daughter. Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
Starting point is 01:11:51 Good pull. Agent Smith just like in the guys of this guy Bain gets to do a fight with Neo and burns sorry burns his fucking eyes out of his head with like an open piece of wire. Oh, man, that's pretty gruesome.
Starting point is 01:12:06 That's some gnarly shit. It's like just burnt over and you know those little baby browns pursed. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:16 Oh, yeah. His face looks like when you split open a pop-tart and all the red goo like that. It's just all over his eyeballs. And he kills, he kills this guy, Bain. What does he do? Well, the thing is he can, he can now he can Daredevil see because he's the one. So he sees, he looks at Bain and he, he sees Agent Smith.
Starting point is 01:12:36 Just laughing at it. Playing the human torch. Oh, he crushes his head with a fucking pipe and we don't get to see it. We only see the computer version, which sucks, because it looks like a real fucking George Washington situation. Wait, a George
Starting point is 01:12:52 Washington? The David Gordon Green movie. Oh. Not something that happened to the first president. Or he did to somebody else. He like breaks apart, like, pixels like some Atari game like it's just
Starting point is 01:13:06 like Pac-Bion like Pac-Man exploding so he's dead and like the grossest part we just talked about grizzled it is with his fucking eyeballs and shit yeah he puts a dirty rag on top of this thing
Starting point is 01:13:20 ew it's a dirty rag I think pulled from a dirty stretched out sweater it's like where it's infected now it's been a rag on this ship it's been cleaning this ship well the one died of an infections. He had sepsis
Starting point is 01:13:35 in his eyeballs. Everything was going right until he put that rag on. Well, that prophecy would have come true, but put that rag on. Well, we've seen five before this guy, so there'll be another way. That's how they all die. They always get an infection. Just fighting for this shit. When you know it's just going to cycle back, what
Starting point is 01:13:51 is the point? Then they get into a car accident. Oh, man, do they ever? And this is, it's really really, really dumb. I do think, by the way, that that scene where they go up is kind of cool. It is cool. It's a nice moment of like, oh wow, like you see
Starting point is 01:14:07 the whole world for a second. And it's a it works. And she gets to see it and it's like, holy shit, I've never seen that before in real life. It's cool. It's a very nice moment. And the whole thing is they say when they're announcing they're going to go to Robot City or whatever they're calling it.
Starting point is 01:14:23 They're like, no one's ever gotten no humans ever gotten past this certain part or whatever. So they get there and all these sentinels are jumping all over them and everything. And that's what they shake them. They juke up into the sky and they shake them off and whatever and then the plane or the little spaceship stalls out yeah and they crash into just a tower of other robot things and they're stuck there and this is the big like trinity death scene and she's got a bunch of like rods in her like uh that
Starting point is 01:14:52 priest in the omen yeah rebar all over and so you think like you crashed into this tower of robots there's other robots swimming after you but she's got to take 10 minutes to talk about like remember all that stuff that happened in those other two movies you remember that and I'm like dude
Starting point is 01:15:12 counter Reeves like you gotta get out of there man they're gonna tear you apart they don't know who's in that ship they're just mad that you crashed into robot Trump Tower throw her at the robots and make a break for it exactly also now left and right in this scene he's just
Starting point is 01:15:25 force pushing everybody all these robots like oh yeah yeah for no reason and it's like I guess because the first one it caused him out of a coma like that's at least like oh wow the you know the human mind right he wasn't able to he didn't know what it was going to be and that's when they call it touching the source like he touched the source whatever but yeah he is just downing these things left and right and uh so this is their big goodbye and whatever and this is like again they are making out in these movies like a couple of teenagers they are it's ridiculous and even like she's dying and it's like really emotional whatever and it's like well goodbye and it's just like and i'm like robots are coming for you come on that was the this was carrie ann's big goodbye to hollywood i mean no one ever saw her again no because she actually died in this movie oh it's oh she's uh yeah not been in too much she's uh in stuff but not you know yeah well you know listen you got that matrix money man she's fine.
Starting point is 01:16:31 Well, the problem is they keep putting Agent Smith and everything and it's just like, well, that's not fair. Hey, Mr. Anderson, I'm calling about your direct TV appointment tomorrow. Right? He was in one of those commercials. He was in like a cable commercial or something.
Starting point is 01:16:44 Oh, I think you're right. I sure do love Verizon Fios. So she's dead. And he like hops out and climbs robot mountain and then a big bunch of robots form a face and they have a nice little conversation. A baby face? It's a baby.
Starting point is 01:17:02 It looks like a baby. Guys, do you know what this fucking thing is credited as? Oh, I know. I do know. You can do know. DASX Machina is the name of the head of this whole thing. Oh, suicide. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:14 That sucks. Congratulations. You took a college course. So they're like, well, why would we let you do? You know, we're going to kill. Because the robots have been personified as pure hate up to this point. Yeah. I mean, they are pure hate.
Starting point is 01:17:26 What the fuck? Well, the whole thing is he basically says, like, listen, this Smith program is out of control and he's making you all look like jerks and he's like if you help me out like a little tit for tat like I can end this dude you know it looks like a fucking Nick Cave
Starting point is 01:17:41 concert down there all right you want me to go back and figure that shit out or what you that's what you want the Matrix to look like that's fine fucking badly covered up Australian accents and all it's all down there and like they're like well we can handle it and he kind of pulls a cool move here he's like
Starting point is 01:17:58 well the dude took over the Matrix so clearly you can't. And like this baby face, DeSX Machina is just like, all right, fine. You get to do this. If you can't do it, we get to kill you. Because we're robots that love
Starting point is 01:18:14 killing people. Why isn't there a scene? Because it's the most startling image in the first movie. And it seems like where you want to end your trilogy. Yeah. The field of fucking people. Right? Like, let's just fucking start breaking things open. Why don't we get back? Yeah, the people hatchery. Let's get back to
Starting point is 01:18:29 that that's what I want the crabs are lost sorry they're all they crack well that'd be good at the end they crack them all open and so mr. Anderson they're all they're all turned into agent smiths oh shit dude and then mr. smith takes agent smith takes over the real world yeah oh that's when we go to mars we got to escape to mars oh she was in a cariam moss was in a mars movie what was that space movie she was in the red planet red planet yeah she in red planet yeah wolf That's where we went to Mars. So we go back into the Matrix. Back in.
Starting point is 01:19:05 We're back. And it's all Agent Smiths all the time. It's like Agent Smith's like looking on from office windows like a ticker tape parade. Some are lining the street. Also like a ticker tape parade. You know, dear, it seems like Agent Smith is going to fight Neo in town square tonight. You want to go there? I don't know, Agent Smith.
Starting point is 01:19:27 The apprentice is on. And I think, I've really been rooting for Agent Smith. And I also want Agent Smith to lose. What a bitch. Man, that Agent Smith is running for president again. What a blowhard. Hey, Agent Smith. Have you ever seen Akira?
Starting point is 01:19:43 Good. Oh, man. Get ready for it. So, here we go. This is the dumbest part of Dumbtown. Like, this is the last stop on the Crazy Train Express. It's an okay-ish fight. It's okay.
Starting point is 01:19:57 But again, it's ugly, it's dirty, it's raining, it's dark, the colors are disgusting, you can't follow what's happening. The graphics on this fucking thing, I swear to God, there's a slow motion punch, and it's as bad as son of the mask. It's exactly as bad. There is no difference. The slow motion, you know, the baby getting hit with a hammer or whatever the fuck happens in that movie. Yeah, I hope that happens. It's slightly better.
Starting point is 01:20:26 I think it's a cutscene from that stupid. video game they had. They just popped it in. That's the thing is it feels more than any other battle or fight or action sequence in any of the three movies. This feels the most. We're fighting the big boss at the end. Because it's cool in the first one. We were running around. We're just a little faster. We're just a little slower. No one can fly. We're doing flips. We're having fun. You know what I mean? Like it's it's grounded somewhere. You know what I mean? People are shooting and I'm doing a cool like joke movie. Yeah, that's the problem. When you have characters that know that they can manipulate the entire space
Starting point is 01:21:01 of the world they're in. It's just a lot of flying around. It's a lot of flying into each other and bouncing off, which is terrible. And it happens like 12 times. And again, if I really wanted that shit, I would just go watch anime. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:13 Like, really, I would. Like, because that's exactly what this is. Yeah. Oh, it's an anime fight. I mean, like, and that first movie steals from anime, like, in droves, you know? But it's embedded in something bigger, which is what makes it better than this.
Starting point is 01:21:26 Like, and there's actual style to the fighting, whereas this is just like, oh man, they're going to make melancholia a lot of times by punching each other. I mean, there's a difference between like being influenced by something and just straight up emulating something. Like that first movie is influenced by a lot of different things. Yeah. You know, it's like a black duster sunglasses wearing Quentin Tarantino movie. Sure. But like this is just, we're just doing the thing. And that thing is a video game fight from an anime or something, you know? And it's like, obnoxious it goes on way too long
Starting point is 01:22:00 it ends like four times and then we're fighting in a mud pit and even the mud doesn't look like mud it looks like gray green mud you know Mr. Anderson we never figured out the proper coating for human mud
Starting point is 01:22:15 excuse me earth mud because we're on Mars now we've been on Mars the whole time that's a good twist we need a twist we do need a twist ending it was Mars the whole time. There has been no Earth. You're a
Starting point is 01:22:32 Martian. At the end he's got Neo in the mud, he's beaten him, and he's like, I've won, this is it, I've seen this before. Why do you keep fighting? Is it for love? Is it for perseverance? Is it for this? Is it for that? And I just want Neo to come up and be like, I want to
Starting point is 01:22:50 rock! I would appreciate it so much more if agent smith was defeated with the power of rock and roll oh man oh how cool would that be he just like reaches up to the heavens and a guitar falls down it's like listomania dude it's like wild stallion's back one night only oh man oh if if fucking Alex if Alex winter comes out from nowhere he's got his own little leather duster they just he's one of the agent smiths he takes off his glasses and he walks through the crowd yep oh yeah and they beat down and they with the power of rock they beat down all the agent smiths until there's only one
Starting point is 01:23:28 and then a phone booth lands on him and Rufus steps out. God gave rock and roll to you. Oh, and they all just start like crying and then the tears make their heads explode. Because it turns out their robots for some reason. Sure. Why not?
Starting point is 01:23:44 And he like basically says like, oh, the Oracle told me this would happen and this is the way it should be and this is the script that we all must follow. Well, then it's a thing where he starts getting confused because he's like, I've been waiting all trilogy to say this to you, Mr. Anderson.
Starting point is 01:24:02 And then he says a line that the Oracle says to Keanu Reeves earlier in the story. And Keanu Reeves is like, oh, wait a minute. Maybe the Oracle's still buried inside that. And then the whole thing is he let Smith assimilate him. And then I guess that, this is what's confusing.
Starting point is 01:24:19 So that happens. And then the machines do something because then we cut back to the machines. Yeah. And it's like, click, click, glipity gloop. And then he starts blowing up. Like, Keanu Reeves, Agent Smith blows up. They all start popping, left and right, like little cherry bombs.
Starting point is 01:24:35 But then, like, main Agent Smith, who's, like, Agent Smith that took over the Oracle, blows up. And you're like, oh, they're all dead or something. That's cool. But then, like, the end of Friday of the 13th, Jason takes Manhattan, there's just the Oracle just laying in a sewer puddle. And I'm like, wait, what? Ow! Ow!
Starting point is 01:24:57 And I guess that's like... Neil, what you do to me? If she's the first one that, like, resets, because this whole thing makes the Matrix reset or whatever is happening, we see like a sidewalk fix itself, and Agent Smith turns back into the little girl, and whatever, the sun has risen again.
Starting point is 01:25:16 And by the way, there's another like 10 minutes left of this movie. You're not seeing Keanu Reeves ever again. That's a wrap on Keanu Reeves. see the architect walking along a lake and talking to the Oracle about the balance of things. I'm not too sure on this. I think the jury's still out, but I feel like
Starting point is 01:25:33 that architect's just a little bit of a jerk. You think? You're thinking, huh? He's just like talking shit to this old woman. And also, if the Oracle, again, is rebuilding herself, why is it that same way? Yeah, why not go back to the original one?
Starting point is 01:25:48 Get undercover. But, so we go, we cut back to Zion for two seconds. It's peace now. There's peace with the robots. We're all like high-fiving and stuff. The robots leave.
Starting point is 01:26:00 And I would have liked if it was like, all right, we won. We did it. Let's play the victory song. And they dig through the bitches and burn through the witches and play. I'm on Dragula. That'd be great. No, it would have to be the Chemical Brothers remix of that song. Yeah, or Paul Oakenfold.
Starting point is 01:26:19 Yeah, we dig back and like everyone's just like, it's fantastic. Jada Pinkett Smith hugs Larry Fishburn. What I wanted to see there, because they're like formerly an item. Yeah, do it. She gets back and then, because she's with Harry Lennox in these movies, like he walks in like, I told you it wouldn't. Oh, great.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Ha, rub. Just another thing for him to get mad at and yell about. That's just another hard apple for me. How long is this piece going to last? Nobody knows. Well, that's not going to last. We cut back to the, that's the thing. It's the robot, you know, it's the architect
Starting point is 01:26:52 in her and she's like oh well it all worked out in the end didn't it and you lost and he's like yes I did she's like what about all the people that want to be out of the matrix he's like I'll release them and I'm like wait what what does that look like how many are there that's what doesn't make any
Starting point is 01:27:08 millions one two if the whole thing is like the war between the machines and man are over with and now like anybody who's dying to get out of the matrix and live in Zion like wants to why would the machines be cool with this because if you freed everybody then they lose their power source so clearly that war is just going to start back up again and also like how many how many beds you got in zion dude how much fucking oatmeal slop you got why would the matrix exist if it's just for programs now yeah you know yeah if it's not the thing that's like it's just keeping these people duped while they're being used as a food source which is the whole fucking point of the matrix in the first place it's just going to be corn clubs for computer programs.
Starting point is 01:27:52 That's what it is. It's just, it's going to be all sex holodex. This new round of the matrix is all sex clubs. Because you let, you let computers run rampant long enough and just more porn, more porn.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Oh yeah, porn baguettes porn. Yep. That's what the internet's doing right now. And that's, and that's it. We look at this kind of cool sunrise. We end up a question mark
Starting point is 01:28:14 because they do literally ask how long could this piece last? He's like, well, see. Like, ooh, there's also like an oracle line like I think the little girl's like Will we ever see Neo again?
Starting point is 01:28:29 Oh yeah. And she's like, oh yes, I think we will. Wouldn't surprise me one box office bit. Five years from now, The Matrix Rise of Morpheus. I'm almost certain it'll happen. Well, if it means more screen time for the great Larry Fishburn,
Starting point is 01:28:49 So be it. It would be a young hymn. It couldn't be. Oh, you're talking prequel. Yeah, of course. Well, that's what I was saying. When I was rewatching the first one, there's all those, like, Keanu Reeves, the whole reason he gets found out by them is because they know he's searching for Morpheus.
Starting point is 01:29:04 So he's on his computer and you see all these like newspaper headlines like, Morpheus wanted in blah, blah, blah, blah, known global terrorist Morpheus. And I was like, what are those stories that got him on like the FBI's most wanted list? Well, I mean, I think that's the Matrix Five. with them like they make them out to be a child killer you know oh so it's not like in the hunt for the one morphius has been causing all sorts of trouble it's all phony baloney yeah i think oh that's too bad that's sad or is it maybe maybe he killed some kids i don't know yeah why not is that one of the things that they make them out to be a child killer sure i would like to see because they also in that
Starting point is 01:29:41 first movie say like sorry we pulled you out you're so old we normally don't do that blah blah blah I want to see a botch job for something like that. You unplug somebody from the Matrix and it doesn't stick. Someone just starts flopping around like a fish or something. Or you turn like Bruce Davidson in that first X-Men movie, just a big jellyfish? That would be cool. Would anybody recommend this movie? No, man.
Starting point is 01:30:08 It was a real slog. Two and a half hours and nothing. Yep. I mean, the best part is the fight, which isn't very good. and all of the Agent Smith stuff again is the best part of this movie which is super hammy and just to rehash the first one and there's so many characters
Starting point is 01:30:23 I couldn't care less about. If you want to see a better Hugo Weaving movie check out Reckless Kelly by Yahoo! Yeah. Really? What's that about? Oh boy. Honestly, go watch it. All right.
Starting point is 01:30:36 Go watch it and get back to me. So Chris Cabin, are you recommending? Oh, absolutely not. No. You can do so much two hours of your life. Do you do anything? thing with that. I kind of want Hugo even to come back as that Red Skull. When's that happening? That I could do. I would love that. He was
Starting point is 01:30:50 badass as the Red Skull, man. He was good. I will say I should, I think probably what the thing is with a lot of the more recent movies, like Cloud both Cloud Atlas and Jupiter ascending. So the Wachowski films. It feels like the
Starting point is 01:31:06 three, these three movies tried to scrunched into one. Oh, you're saying like getting a trilogy into one. Well, because let's face it, they're not going to let them touch a sequel. No. Someone's got to make money first. Somebody's got to make a lot of money first. So they are trying to pack in all that story.
Starting point is 01:31:23 But what sucks, and I said this when Jupiter ascending came out, was like at least they're doing like original non-franchised stuff. Sure. Like Cloud Atlas is an adaptation of a book. But like still, it's not like a comic book movie or whatever. Sure. But stop fucking it up.
Starting point is 01:31:40 Call somebody like, I don't know. Eric, Eric Roth. Get Eric. Eric Roth on the phone and have him write you a movie. Would he write a screenplay? Eric Roth? Yeah, he's written some. Yeah, he's written Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Starting point is 01:31:54 Oh, that's right. And Forrest Gump. Who am I thinking, though? Philip Roth. Philip Roth. Yeah, sorry about that. All right. I feel like you're better just pretending it's one movie.
Starting point is 01:32:05 You have to. It's a much better. It's a better movie. It's a better series. That ending is so much better than the end of this movie. I wish it was, if you said, hey, there's a Matrix. where there's only one Matrix movie, I might be tempted to plug in.
Starting point is 01:32:19 That's the Matrix Revolutions from 2003, directed by the Wachowski's. If you want to get a hold of us, check out our website, w-hmpodcast.com, or check us out on sideshownetwork. Dot TV. Follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook right into the We Hate Movies Mailbag.
