We dive deep into "The Matrix (1999)" and a little bit into the sequels. No Resurrections here as this was recorded before it came out.

Topics discussed:

- What is the Matrix?

- Snooty philosophers vs. the Matrix

- Abolishing everything

- The Messiah Complex

- Do we want to escape to the Desert of the Real?

- Fighting together
