Only try to realize the truth: There is no spoon.
When Emily brings her deep thoughts about the Wachowski Sisters’ 1999 cinematic masterpiece, The Matrix, the Guy sisters are unable to contain the conversation to under an hour. (We’re not exactly known for our brevity.) This movie, possibly the most popular, successful, and influential piece of art created by trans artists to date, is ripe with symbolism, allegory, and questions about the fundamental nature of reality. As one might expect with a “text” this rich, it resonates with a host of other sources, from anthropologists of religion to Plato, contemporary sociologists to the late George Carlin. With a nuance and complexity that requires (and rewards!) repeat viewing, The Matrix is truly a masterpiece.
We can only show you the pod. You have to listen to it.
