On the first part of our dive into The Matrix Franchise, Duane and David talk about what made the original 1999 film an important milestone in Sci-Fi cinema, they also touch on what they like about the multi-story film The Animatrix, and how it helps flesh out the world The Wachowski's set up.

David isn't sure why this isn't in the feed. But here it is. Our thoughts on Logan!

Duane and David start down the cyberpunk rabbit hole with a look at William Gibson's original 1981 short story Johnny Mnemonic, and the 1995 adaptation by the author himself. What stand's out from what Gibson originally wrote to the his own process of taking his work and applying it to the big screen? We take a look at what makes both works endearing classics in their own right.

Can this show make it past Hugh Jackman's terribly animated claws in the first solo outing for the X-Man, or move past it to cover better movies? You be the judge!

And of course we go over what we believed influenced Carpenter in his approach to both films. We get topical on current political topics that we feel fit into the narrative of both films, and discuss some broader issues we feel connect as well. Enjoy!

In part two, of their discussion of the Mad Max Franchise, Duane and David discuss 1985's Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, and 2015's Mad Max Fury Road. This is a deep dive into mythology, religion, beliefs, and what those mean to the individual. We also read our first two iTunes review at the beginning of the episode. WARNING: This was recorded at the same time as Part 1, which means, David is potentially drunk by the end of the episode, so take what he says with a grain of salt.

On the latest episode of Watch.Read.Listen. Duane and David tackle George Miller's iconic Mad Max Franchise. To kick things off in Part 1, they go over Mad Max, and Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. They discuss why they last in a current film climate littered with CGI, their importance as mythological storytelling, and why these work as great action films. We hope you enjoy!

A show of what was cut out of Episode 50, but I still think it's worth a seperate listen to get our thoughts on what we lost in 2016, and David probably (most likely) goes off on another Trump rant. Enjoy!
