Episode 005: The Matrix

The Keanuseurs are joined by cartoonist Emmett Hobbes to discuss The Matrix, Queer theory, and how Keanu Reeves is most attractive when wet.

EPISODE 005: THE MATRIX

The Keanuseurs celebrate our one year anniversary with a huge episode. Join Brett and Jasmine in welcoming cartoonist and all around raconteur to the show to discuss a little film known as…The Matrix.

We talk about the Matrix as trans allegory, its significance as a Queer story about chosen family, its exceptional, genre-bending craft, and, yes…even its complete misinterpretation by a certain corner of the internet we now call Cyphers.

So join us as we take a journey into…THE MATRIX.

Thanks for listening!

*Audio quality on this episode is not as great as we’d like. Our engineer did an excellent job with what was provided, but unfortunately we had some issues with recording. We hope that the content overshadows the technical difficulties.
