THE major multimedia event of 2003, so massive in the making that not even the people funding it never saw it coming and didn't know what it was after it arrived.

The Animatrix (2003) Is Very Bleak (Part One)
Trigger Warnings for more or less the whole span of this episode, the shorts we cover in this episode deal heavily with the concepts of genocide, suicide, and contains lots of graphic imagery.
Ella and Hope begin the quest to talk about all the peripheral media released in 2003 for The Matrix sequels! They cover The Final Flight of the Osiris, The Second Renaissance Parts 1 & 2, and Kid's Story.

Customer Reviews
Passion, wittiness and humor
Love this podcast. Made me fall in love with his franchise. I was also unaware of the creators being trans women and so to hear the not so subtle takes that I was seemingly oblivious to is quite eye-opening.
Reality really is a simulation
We believe it’s 6:28 pm anything else is just your mind playing tricks on you ( unless it isn’t 6:28 pm ) and I always knew that reality is a simulation🤔.THIS PODCAST IS SO GOOD! 😆Definitely give it a listen! Hosts: perfection. Content: perfect. Everything about is incredible 👌and honestly if your still reading this review you are wasting valuable time that could be used listening to this podcast Thank u for listening 🙂
A Podcast Wonderland
“I imagine that right now you’re feeling a bit like Alice, tumbling down the rabbit hole?”
This is already a fantastic ride of a podcast, both for long-time Matrix fans and newer ones like myself. It’s a blast seeing this franchise analyzed both artistically and from a queer perspective, with Hope and Ella bringing an amazing blend of humor and heart.
Eagerly awaiting what else this podcast has in store!
