It's hard to believe, but The Matrix is 20 years old this year. And its influence is anniversary-the-matrix-appreciation.html">all over the culture with bullet time and matrix-red-pill-internet-delusional-drug.html">red pills and matrix-red-pill-internet-delusional-drug.html">the "woah" meme and so much more.

We take the question of whether we're living in a simulation much more seriously than we did 20 years ago. We're much more attuned to the allegory for the trans experience that The Matrix might well have been.

And with John Wick 3 released this spring, Toy Story 4 out this summer, Cyberpunk 2077 out next year, and Bill & Ted 3 just finalizing production, the Keanussance is upon us.
