S12 Ep585: The Matrix

WHM Entertainment
About this episode

On the final WLM episode of the month (and our final episode of the year!) we're chatting about one of the all-time great sci-fi/action masterpieces, The Matrix! How incredible is all this fight choreography? How much different (and worse) would this film have been with Will Smith in the lead? And how many of us cranked this rad and loud soundtrack back in 1999? PLUS: Is Agent Smith a Barenaked Ladies superfan?

The Matrix stars Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving, Gloria Foster, Joe Pantoliano, Marcus Chong, Julian Arahanga, Matt Doran, Belinda McClory, and Anthony Ray Parker as Dozer; directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski.
