Crooked Table Podcast: ‘The Matrix Reloaded’/’The Matrix Revolutions’ [Part 1] (ft. Jackson Smith)

The Matrix has you (again). In this first half of our two-part discussion on the sequels, Jackson Smith — our own Agent Smith, so to speak — joins the show to examine The Matrix Reloaded. We’ll cover whether the movie is a smooth transition from the first film, its wild action sequences, and why even its haters need to pay The Matrix Reloaded a revisit now.

SYNOPSIS

Freedom fighters Neo (Keanu Reeves), Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss), and Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) continue to lead the revolt against the machine army. The trio unleash their arsenal of extraordinary skills and weaponry against the systematic forces of repression and exploitation. In their quest to save the human race from extinction, they gain greater insight into the construct of the Matrix and Neo’s pivotal role in the fate of mankind.
