Today, The Kicking the Seat Podcast and Cole Rush of ColeTries.com and The Quill to Live wake up to the harsh reality that The Matrix isn't a very good movie. On the eve of this influential sci-fi blockbuster's twentieth anniversary, the guys take a fresh look at The Wachowskis' flawed spectacle, and ask how a film with such (relatively) high aspirations could plummet, crash, and burn on the shores of bad storytelling, dead characterization, and the very action-movie clichés it initially sought to upend.
(But at least the movie still looks really cool.)
There's a little something here to offend absolutely everyone, so choose your pill wisely.
Also, Ian talks about Kicking the Seat's own breakthrough into a different reality!
