213. Bullet Time

This episode covers a number of movies, including some behind-the-scenes on how the most famous scene of The Matrix was accomplished. In addition there’s exciting news about accessing a thermal source that could have a profound positive impact on energy consumption and climate change: a new way to access geothermal power. There are warm moments about our children’s doings, and we hear about a very inflammatory way to inflate a tire. But…well, really, the majority of the episode is about movies we’ve been watching and enjoying. Have a listen and let us know what you think!Links: Shed Dogs; the hiker who completed the Continental Divide and Great Divide Trails in five months; do what you love, or love what you do?; the current version of the tire repair and compressor kit RJ mentioned; one crazy way to reseat a wheelbarrow tire on its rim; the making of bullet time; a new drilling method that may have a profound impact on energy consumption and climate change; the Site C dam Wikipedia page is out-of-date, and the usual news outlets failed to write in substance about its completion, so you’ll need to review the undoubtedly biased Site C project page to get a feel for how it went; Lone Wolf & Cub films; letterboxd; Master and Commander.Theme music is Escaping like Indiana Jones by Komiku, with permission.
