Episode 042: A Trans, Religious, Simulation Allegory, Oh My! The Matrix Film Franchise with Alex Swan
Manage episode 329440707 series 3354029
Join Alex in an exploration of the themes and allegories — that have a psychological flair, of course — in The Matrix (1999) film franchise! In this episode, Alex dives into the Wachowski sisters' true meaning of the first film, which was a transgender allegory. He also explores the iconic religious allegory, as well as a discussion about simulation theory. Some other details are also discussed, like how you can really function with a giant spike shoved into the back of your skull! (Hint: you can't.) While there is minimal discussion of the new film, The Matrix: Resurrections (2021), consider this a minor spoiler alert!
NOTE: This episode was recorded during a live event on Alex's Twitch.tv channel: CogPsychProf
