About The Matrix Minute

A podcast where we talked about the first Matrix film one minute at a time. One episode per minute of the film, 128 episodes in total, released 17 June 2017 through 13 April 2018. Every episode also compares that minute against the 1996 first-draft screenplay and the 1998 shooting script, tracking what changed on the way to the finished film.
