They also unpack how the Wachowskis unintentionally created a transgender allegory in “Thomas Anderson versus Neo,” and they gush about how the movie remains one of the most entertaining, sexy, and sweaty action films of all time.A rough transcript of the episode is available here.For next week’s movie, we’ll be watching the 1997 Nickelodeon original movie Good Burger.To access MVC PREMIUM EPISODES or LEAVE US A TIP click here. MVC donates its ad space to progressive or leftist causes.
