The Matrix (1999) Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

If you only ever listen to one episode of Dune Pod, this is The One. Haitch and Jason had the high honor of welcoming the amazing actor from modern classic genre shows: Jason Momoa’s SEE, and HBO Max’s Banshee, Warrior, and DMZ, Hoon Lee! A true sci-fi aficionado and expert, he brings insights that blew our minds when we used the current escalation of AI technology as the backdrop for a discussion of the greatest science fiction action film of all time, The Matrix.
