In this episode of the show, we are circling The Matrix and so we discuss Equilibrium, a movie that definitely happened thanks to the overwhelming success of The Matrix and maybe borrowed a thing or two (or twenty) from it as well. Over the course of our conversation we dig into the stew of literary inspirations lifted and repackaged to form the narrative of this film, talk about the lasting influence of The Matrix on the way fight choreography is executed in Hollywood movies, find connections to other movies hidden within the movie and pore over the possibility that Equilibrium may be smarter than it is usually given credit for.
Tune in and enjoy!
