Ep. 47: "One Pill, Two Pill, Yass Pill, Blue Pill" (The Matrix / The Matrix Resurrections)

Gay for Play: A Video Game Podcast

FILMUARY continues here at Gay for Play this week!

In today's episode, we dive deep into a discussion of The Matrix and its newest installation, The Matrix Resurrections! One of us is a lifelong fan of this iconic sci-fi trilogy, and one of us is a total newcomer to the franchise (& hadn't even seen the original until like, last week!). But we both have a LOT to share about Keanu and his slo-mo bullet dodging adventures.
It would be a Herculean task to have a thorough conversation about a series that has been discussed to death, so we're just speaking from the heart and discussing why these films resonate with us! Which of course, includes looking at these movies through a queer lens, and discussing what this movie has to say about our own tech-driven society & it's obsession with rebooting and retelling familiar stories.

So red-pill up with us and we'll show you just how deep this rabbit hole goes! (i.e. we'll talk about these cool movies and other video game related stuff for like, a fun hour and 30 minutes or so.)
Also this episode: we briefly discuss our thoughts on Microsoft's acquisition of Activision-Blizzard (bc holy shit lmao), Laurence shares his cautious optimism about next week's release of Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and Eric updates us on his Xbox Game Pass obsesshies!
