Episode 21: The Wachowskis

CHUD.com's contributing editor Renn Brown joins us to discuss the innovative filmmaking team, The Wachowski's formerly known as The Wachowski Brothers. We talk about their breakthrough science fiction action classic from 1999, THE MATRIX, as well as their box office bomb, SPEED RACER. We dissect their work at length as always, and each of us choose another film from their resume to discuss as well. During the what we watched segment, Renn reviews MONEYBALL, Jim reviews CONTAGION, and Patrick reviews DRIVE. In about a week or so, filmmaker and podcaster Jay Cheel joins us to talk about documentarian Errol Morris. We will definitely bring up Jay's excellent debut as a filmmaker himself, BEAUTY DAY. Until next time, please send us your suggestions as well as any comments about The Wachowski's or any director we’ve discussed or will discuss on a future episode. Drop us a line if you’re a movie blogger/podcaster and would like a guest spot on the show to talk about a filmmaker whose work you admire (or despise). Thanks for listening and be sure to check out our updated upcoming schedule in the sidebar to see which directors we’ll be talking about soon!
