As our series on the Wachowski sisters continues, we arrive at their magnum opus.

 When it was released in 1999, THE MATRIX took the world by storm. An action film with a mind-blowing premise, filled with philosophical ideas and groundbreaking action sequences, the film was unlike anything audiences had seen before, and ended up becoming not only a critical and commercial success, but also one of the most influential cultural milestones in decades.

In this episode, we'll trace the story of THE MATRIX, from the Wachowskis' earliest concepts, through the release and impact of the film.

We're joined in this episode by special guest Robyn Scott!
