Episode 30: THE MATRIX (1999)

"Whoa" On this week of The Seat Struck Movie Podcast, John and Quinn are joined by special guest Steve (you might know him as 'stout' Steve from John's other podcast, Domestic Pints ONLY) to talk about the late 90s cyberpunk goth action classic - THE MATRIX. We spend some discussing the film (with occasional light mentions of the sequels). We also lament that despite talking for nearly an hour we still have lots of stuff to chat about. Will we return for future Matrix discussion? Stay tuned! In the second half, they chat what they watched this week.
