The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review

This week, the Shat Crew finishes up listener Jeremiah's Sci-Fi Through The Ages series by plugging into The Matrix Reloaded, a film that doubles down on slow-mo kung fu, pleather trench coats, and high-concept jargon that may or may not mean anything.

Popeye (1980)
