The Nostalgia Test Podcast

Dan & Manny welcome artist Mike Reuter to put the 1999 sci-fi action classic 😎 The Matrix to the ultimate test--THE NOSTALGIA TEST!

Come take The Red Pill w/ The Nostalgia Test Podcast on this amazing episode. Dan & Manny start w/ a short interview of their guest, visual artist Mike Reuter. They ask him about his use of old VHS tapes to create his movie posters, his screenwriting, and what's next for his work.

Then, they go DEEP into The Matrix! They talk about this movie being a cross between an action movie and a philosophy class, why does Neo's apartment look like trash, the state-of-the-art visual effects, some of the people considered for the part of Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus, why is there so much rain in The Matrix, and so much more!

Ep.118 . 😎 The Matrix!

Michael has been creating work in a large spectrum of fields including cinematography, photography, and fine art. Most of his fine art work consists of recycled materials, with the layering of paints, woods, and acrylics. Pop culture and skateboarding have been a major staple in Michael's life weaving into each medium of his pieces. These two passions have been rooted since childhood for Michael, creating an affinity of nostalgia and excitement.
