009 The Matrix - Andrew Gilbert, PhD helps me see how deep the rabbit hole goes

Exploring Tomorrow: Meaningful Science Fiction and Life's Big Questions

In 1999, this crazy cyberpunk action movie came out, and it blew my mind. Not only that, it has withstood the test of time (and two subpar sequels). It is one of the most philosophically astute action films ever made, and it might just be more plausible than we're willing to admit (the whole "humans as batteries" thing aside). This hilarious episode takes a thoughtful look at The Matrix and tries to sort a few things out. Are you willing to take the red pill with us?
