0:00Welcome to the Matrix Minute. Welcome to the Matrix Minute. Welcome to the Matrix Minute where we dropped all the formalities. We probably forgot about the trivia, we forgot about the intros, we forgot about the outros. But we don't apologize for anything. The truth is, we don't see the point of it. We just want to give you the meat. The good, raw, juicy meat. Meat off the bone. The content. With me giving you the meat is Philip.

0:42That was Philip. Another meat donor is Jacob. Say some things, Jacob. I like meat. Good, good. And me, Master Meat Man. The meat connoisseur. The massager of the freshly ground beef. It is me, Januszik. And without further ado, Minute 98. The most important year when I was a child. I loved the year 98 for some reason. The dumbass. I don't know what my... Was it Chicago Bulls? Chicago Bulls. For me, it was Godzilla 98.

1:25I loved that for some reason. You loved it. I just thought it was the best thing in the world, you know? And then I watched Batman and Robin. I thought that was awesome. Until I watched it again, you know? I mean, I own it now on Blu-ray. That is true. Seriously. I was only five. I don't remember too much. Yeah. There were a lot of good Lego sets in 98. I'm sorry. That's all I lived for. That's what it is. That's it. And I... Wasn't there... Oh, 98. 997 was Tomb Raider 2. Tomb Raider. 2. Tomb Raider. So this was like well into like Tomb Raider. When was Tomb Raider 3? I think it was like 99. 88. 98. 98. There you go. Oh, really?

2:0598? Tomb Raider 3 was 98. We had a Tomb Raider 3 demo. Yes. Spooky. That's when we bought our PlayStation. I think that's my childhood. Like Lego, Tomb Raider, and that's it. I like Encyclopedias. I used to love like... Lego and Tomb Raider. Do the voice. I like Lego. I'm playing Tomb Raider. No, no. In Europe... Yes. In Europe, people didn't know how to pronounce tomb. Well, I don't think you can say at least like in Austria. When we were there. In Austria, all the kids in my class were calling it Tomb Raider. Oh, that's how... Okay. Tomb Raider. Me and my brother used to call it Tomb Raider. Yeah. We're going Tomb Raider spielen.

2:46Spielen. Oh, yeah. What was the name that they were going to call her? Did they change her name? No, they kept her name. They kept her name in the Nack de Lara. She was supposed to be Laura Craft. Laura Craft. No, no, no, no, no. It was supposed to be Laura Craft. She was supposed to be... L-A-U-R-A. Laura. Laura. Yeah. But according to one of the game designers, they said that Americans would call it Laura. Oh, yeah. I didn't want that. And they didn't like that. So they wanted to be Laura. Laura Craft. It's great. It's good. But we're approaching year 1999. The famous year when our grandma gave us money and went to the Toys R Us. Which you can listen to on a different podcast. We go in depth with these stories. Yeah. It's called Phil and Jake in conversation.

3:26Because you bought Tomb Raider 1 in 1999. I did. It was spooky. I don't think you ever finished it because you started playing it and I came... Never finished it, dude. This is more Phil and Tim stuff. I did not get money. You did get money. You did get money and you bought a stupid action man who took pictures with his head. Oh, that was that. Yeah. Camera action man. Yeah. He took pretty okay photos. Pointless. You guys can laugh all you want. He could only move his arm. That's all he could do. That is true. It was pretty lame. Only one arm. His other arm was attached to his camera. Yeah. So it's creeper action man. Yeah. That is so true. That's like perverts taking pictures of kids. That's so scary. It's like... Look at my action man.

4:07Action man was so weird. Produced pretty good photos though. Like when we printed them, they were... I was impressed. They were like Polaroid-ish quality. Mm-hmm. You probably don't have those, right? No. I think we have a scan of one of them. Yeah. Oh, okay. The action man view. Point of view. Hilarious. Okay. So what? Mid-98. Give us the brief down. All right. And also in 98 is the production year of the Matrix therapy. That is correct. Ah. To read it in. So this is what happens. Agent Smith continues talking about humans and that they're viruses. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. And the machines are the cure. In the construct, Neo asks for...

4:47Guns. Money. Oh. Lots of guns. And an infinite aisle of guns show up. And Neo assures Trinity that just because no one did this before, it's gonna work. The minute ends as Agent Smith asks Agent Brown, why isn't the serum working? What is he from an anime? Why is the serum not working? Okay. But before you say anything, well, of course he sounds like he's in anime, because he is. This is so influenced by anime. That is true. That is true. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, let's, let's, let's get some, let's get things. So, manga is a Eastern Asian, a comic book, right?

5:34That's what you would call it manga. That's right. Manga is comic in Japanese. Like Japanese, Korean, right? They would call it a manga as well. Or no, it's just strictly Japanese. I think, yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's originated to be Japanese. It just means comic. Okay. In Japan. Anime is just an abbreviation of animation. Okay. So animation, abbreviation. So, yeah. So if you went to Japan and they would start talking about like, you know, Moana or something, they would also call that an anime. So, so there's no difference because I was always under the assumption that anime is like a series, like a television series that's animated and the, like the, you know, feature movies, they're called something else, but I guess they're not. Nope. They're all just, it's just, you know, they like, in Japan, they like abbreviating American

6:14words and they just. But I think. Okay. Maybe in America it's like that because you watch animes. And you're like. In America it's a different thing. Well, no, the thing is that anime, like you said, is the Japanese description for animation, animated series or films or whatever material. I think the reason why anime is associated with Japanese animation is because it's obviously. That's the word they use. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So anime outside of Japan became synonymous with Japanese animation. Yeah. Which happens to look a certain way and have a certain style. Yeah. That's different from Western animation, right? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I mean, there's a big difference. And here's my, from the years of watching some of these animes and watching some of these

6:57Western. I mean, Tim, you like Dragon Ball, right? Yeah. I liked it because, you know, it's like fights and stuff and it's very hilarious. But I do, I'm not that big a fan of anime. And here's why. Because to me, I love the Western animation of faces and emotion. Because like, if you look at like where the most like detail goes to, if you look at like Eastern, as far as my, you know, interpretation as how I see it, it's always the backgrounds and there's always the movements that are always the most realistic and Eastern one.

7:38But if you look at Western, most of that stuff is kind of crappy, but they always like the facial animation, like emotions are very like detail and like kind of varied. If you look at like usually anime, it's like three, four different emotions and they just kind of like browse through them. So that's why I was like, it's always never like, to me, it's like, I don't have that connection with the characters, but I love the background art and like the explosions and things like that. Yeah. As far as storytelling, it's very similar. I don't know. It's not that different to me. Uh-huh. Maybe. I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Like the story structure. What about you guys? Well, one thing I noticed in anime is, that's interesting, is that they have very, very accurate

8:22depictions of like the physical environments, you know, like objects and trodes and shoes. That's what I like about anime because I like the art style a lot because of how middle of the road it is from realism and cartoon. I always feel so cozy. Yeah. And I always like that because whenever they would draw a handgun, it would be like a real handgun. Yeah. It wouldn't be like if you watch, you know, a goofy movie or something. Yeah. So I'm carrying a bazooka. Yeah. It would be just overblown and stuff like that. But then again. Then you switch to the face and you're like, what? Yeah. It's just, it's just lip flaps. It's just. Well, yeah.

9:03Like you just, just, just think about it. Just comparing, you know, maybe what everyone. Most of the time. In general. Like Disney films, for instance. Yeah. Like that is not at all the same. Like the environments and sort of. No, no, no. It's always like, yeah. Some, some are better, some are worse, but it's never that like realism detail. I think, you know, like Western animation has always been masterclass in movement and showing emotion. Definitely the face, facial animation. Characters and, and, and, and stuff like that. It's particularly French animation, which is weird. That's, that's a different kind of like Belgian or French animation. That's a different kind of aisle. It's like a mixture of both. Damn, why are they so good? Why are they so good? I don't know. I like them because they're a mixture of what Western and Eastern, like they're like

9:47the good stuff. Cause they have like really cozy environments that are like hyper realistic, but they also have crazy like facial and movement animation. It's like the best of the best world. I love them. Have you seen any of the Disney shorts that were animated in France and Belgium? I don't know. Like maybe I saw them, but I don't know which ones are which. Yeah. Okay. So one of my favorite ones and one of the best animated things I've ever seen as far as Disney goes is this Mickey Mouse short from 1995 or six called Runaway Brain. And it's where, it's where Mickey gets his brain replaced with, yeah, with, with, with some, with, with, with Pete, you know, the big cat guy, the big fat.

10:28Okay. Yeah. Oh, no, no. I've never seen this now. And it's animated in, I think it's mostly French and the way they animate stuff is like so clean and nice and so smooth, like butter, you know? Yeah. Well, you know, um, Tony and Tom Bancroft. Yes. Animators, former animators at Disney. They worked on Disney. They were, they mentioned, remember that you listened to the podcast more. I listened to a few episodes of the, what's it called? The Bancroft Brothers Animation Podcast. Okay. And I remember listening to an episode and they were saying how like, I think they had some animation being done or something or they worked in France, one of them did or something and they were saying how amazing those guys are over there, like in terms of the quality of animation they produce.

11:09So that was interesting. But anyway, as far as Japanese animation goes, there was a, you know, they kind of just, uh, jumpstarted their, their whole industry after World War II. Mm-hmm. Sixes and sevens instead of.

11:51Remember we watched a video and I said they go, sometimes it even drops like threes and stuff. Like. Yeah. No, no, no. Threes is great. Oh, sorry. I'm sorry. When it's on ones, it's one frame. One frame. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is like each, which frame actually the movement is you like hold the frame for like six frames. Yeah. But, but, you know, just to be honest, like there's so much diversity in any kind of department on animation. You can't always clump it all together. Oh, there's definitely. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I just wanted to. My only question with Animan, I never figured it out, is, um, why do they draw the faces so distinctly? And it's very. It must be like a thing that just like kept on. Like who, who did it first? Who was the one? Yeah. That like designed the, you know, the big eyes and the weird.

12:34Yeah. Yeah. If you look at Western. Listen, listen. Atomic boy. Astro boy. Astro boy. That was the one. That's the American name, but I forgot the. I know what you mean. Mighty Adam. Mighty Adam. The guy with like rocket boots, right? Yes. His name is. No. Katsuhiro Otomo is Akira guy. But that style comes from manga, right? Yes. Uh, manga was, yes, that's what they, that's, that's how they did that. Like it became like when, uh, Osamu Tesuka was like the guy who, uh, was influenced a lot by, and he loved Disney movies and stuff. So he was influenced by that. And that's where his, his actual style became something that was spread to other animators

13:15and other productions from world, from, you know, from the sixties onwards. And that's how it just stuck like that. And it just became a, uh, a loop of that kind of style. And it's just, and now it's synonymous with, with the Japanese, uh, animation. Right. Right. And, and I also think it's economical because their mouths are so like, usually they're quite small and they don't have, they don't have to, they don't have to animate much. You know, you just have to get a great, do a great pose, pan up the camera. This is for TV production most of the time. And you just have, yeah. And it's still for one drawing and it's just the mouth that has to move. Yeah. Cause I was just wondering because the, the faces it's interesting. They are not at all a reflection of real life.

13:56That's like one of the only aspects of one of the few aspects in anime. They always like specific, like they're, they're, they're, they're not like defined by actual laws of physics. Like there's, there's no proportions. Like they face like swap when you like move to a different angle. It's like, yep. And their noses. Yeah. Their noses, like they're not even. But you haven't seen some amazing character designs where noses are amazing. I'm just talking. I'm just saying like, yeah, yeah. Just in general. Sailor moon and stuff like this. Like their noses are like too deep. Like when they, when they like. Yeah. Yeah. It switches. It switches realities once it's from a different angle. But what I love about it is that most of the bodies when, you know, the, are generally anatomically correct. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. The bodies, everything like, like the movement of the body is always like really animated.

14:39Great. I like, there's some cheapo shows like Dragon Ball Z, which is like, you know, but like most of like, especially the like feature, the feature animations, they're like amazing. And then just like the face is like, what is this? Nevermind. Let's see how we get here. We got here because- Why is the serum working? Oh wow. Yeah. Yeah. He's, he's, he's talking about viruses. He's going to more about his Wikipedia stuff. Anime is a virus. I think we can skip Smith. I mean- It's a cancer of this planet. He loves to use different words. A whole generation of kids in America have just become weebs by watching so much anime. It has to stop. He's got like a fourth graders, you know, information about the world.

15:21And he's making a lot of assumptions here, but it's okay. He's trying to make a point, you know. He's trying to piss off Morpheus. Yeah. We can get away from Smith. Yeah, please. Enough, Smith. Construct. We're back in the construct one final time. Oh my goodness. Can I say something before we get this? Like, when I was a child, everything that happened in this movie before was just like the stuff. Let's get through it. Let's get to this. You know what I mean? This is the... Oh, to bring it back, this is the meat of the matter. It is the true meat. What's Tim trying to say? It is like juicy meat. This is all just build up. He's trying to say that when he was a kid, he sort of just suffered through the beginnings of the film to get here. Oh, okay. Well, suffered is not the right word.

16:02I meant to say that you were anticipating. Yes, yes, yes. This is where it's at. Like, that stuff is good. It's important for the build up. It wouldn't, you know, be worth it. But it's like, yeah, you know, it's like, I don't know. Like, you know, you eat your veggies first and then you get to the meat. So you can enjoy the meat in its pureness. Sorry, vegetarians, if you're listening to this. And this is very off-putting. Or, for instance... But I was eight or nine, you know. How about this? We can make another analogy. Is you eat your dinner, right? Get full. Get the story in there. Get the plot. Get your characters. Yeah. Get your motivations. All that good stuff. And then, that is it.

16:42Right? Yes. The New York slice of cheesecake. Or apple pie, man. I'm in a pie zone again. I think pies are... I like apple pies. I know, but man. Apple pie is just cheesecake. It's just so bready and nice. Easy. Yeah, it makes me flatulent. I can't have cheesecake. No, sorry. More for me. Okay. Anyway, this is where it's at now. And Tank... They're in the construct. And then Tank just goes, what do you need? And then Neo goes... Okay, this is monumental, guys. Come on. It is so iconic. It's so iconic. We have to have a moment to just acknowledge this. Like, this is not... This is... We're not kidding around. We're not. Every boy's... Every man's...

17:24Like... Yeah, go ahead. Like, fantasy. This is it. This is a mixed action movies with video games with just like... I can't... Now, I don't have that anymore, maybe. I lost it because I've seen this so many times. But just thinking about it, just the excitement of how cool this is. Like, my perception as a kid of real life and video games and everything. Just that thought of like, this would be real life. I could be somewhere like this and I could just have any guns that I want, which just like completely blew my mind. Oh, yeah. And you know, I had the same exact perspective. And I agreed that, you know, I don't have that anymore. That sort of, you know, testosterone-driven guns and shooting and stuff.

18:05But when you're an eight-year-old kid, I mean, you know, like, this is just... Wow. So much excess. There's rows and rows of unused guns. Interesting that I never mentioned before is that when I was a kid, when I used to watch these movies, again, I wouldn't put a lot of weight. Well, I'd watch the movie and I'd try to understand the story, of course. But I always focused in on the aspect of, you know, being ready for an adventure where you're the hero. You have to be ready to shoot the bad guys. And you have to be ready to utilize all your weaponry and your gadgets, you know.

18:45So choose well. I always thought about, like, if you watch any movie that has action in it, you know, when I was a kid, when I watched these films, like, I would just think about that, you know. Well, I know, because when you drew pictures of characters and you drew all their items and accessories. And everything. The holsters. Preparing. The guns. The belts and all that stuff. That's all I thought of. Oh, not all I thought of, but that was one thing I emphasized. You can't wear a puppet. You have to be boots. You have to be ready for an adventure. You know, I was just thinking, man, Rick O'Connell is so amazing. He has these dual guns. And he has this and this shotgun and then they pull it out. But in the second mommy movie, they have this whole thing and it pops out and there's millions of guns. And then, like, you imagine the toys they sell and, like, what's in the pack and everything. But I think it's like, I would like to draw some parallels here.

19:27I mean, there's like, let's say, I'll compare two movies and two action heroes. I'll compare John McClane from Die Hard and I'll, John Matrix from Commando, right? And there's a certain plot device or like a storytelling, you know, kind of technique. And John McClane is not ready. And the sort of suspense and everything comes from him not being prepared, not having guns, him have to save bullets and everything. And it's a different kind of action. You know, he kind of comes across. Oh, yeah. But let's say, you know, John Matrix in Commando. John Matrix. It's that exact same kind of pattern that we give you in The Matrix where it's like, he finally gets the goodies.

20:08He gets the items. You know, he goes for that crazy shopping montage. He's been sort of just making do with what he has, right? Yeah. And now he gets all the stuff. It's like when you put on cheat codes in a video game, you get all the guns. Pretty much. You get the rocket launchers and everything. And it's like in the hyper realism of John Matrix, you know, it's crazy. He gets all these guns, but it's still in the realm of reality, some kind of weird reality. Yeah. But in here, it is the cheat codes. It is, you know, it is the maximum whatever possibility. It's just rows and rows of unused guns. All those guns.

20:49And it works. I think, you know, I hate to draw the parallel to the cheat codes again, but it's just like, it is that like excess, you know, like, sure, they're a good guy and that doesn't make much difference, but it makes it much more satisfying, I would say. It was a good choice to include this. This is so good. It's just, it's, it's, it encapsulates what a video game is like video games is. And, you know, like being able to choose anything you want because you can't, you're in a virtual space. You can take whatever you want with you. So you just pack it up. You know what I mean? And just guns, lots of guns. Well, that's what I want to talk about. So we have Tank who... Wait, I just want to say before we stop anything, there's another connection to Commando. So I just realized not just John Matrix, but that it was Silver Pictures, Joel Silver producing.

21:36I didn't mention that once. Yeah. Yeah. I think at the beginning. Yeah. Yeah. The beginning, I think the first episode. I don't think I did not. That's true. It's been a while. So Tank says, all right, what do you guys need? Except a miracle. Anything except a miracle. I think it's a line or something like that. Yeah. That's a little joke. A little joke. And it's... I don't know. Like, for some reason, I think the line that Neo says is... To me, it feels very iconic. The guns. Lots of guns. Because, I don't know. It just works. Because what else is he going to say, you know, in this situation? You could just show the guns, but this is cool. This is fun. You know, this is like... Also, I think it goes to show that Neo is at a point where he's a lot more focused.

22:19He's just like, he's going for it. Yeah. And I think I can appreciate a different kind of aspect to it. Or maybe not. Like, maybe see it in a different line. Because when I was a kid, it was like, I need guns. Lots of guns. And when these guns come, it's like, oh, this is what Neo asked for. And it's like, so cool. Like, he wanted millions of guns. But to me, watching this now, it's kind of funny. Neo meant lots of guns. And maybe he meant like 10 guns. But Tank, in this exciting times kind of thing, he's just like... You know, he's in this console. And he's like, guns. And then he's like, I don't know if anyone worked in like, sort of programming. If you like SQL query. And there's like a wild card.

22:59And you can put a star, you know, asterisk. And basically pulls all the data. And this is pretty much what he does. It's like, oh, which guns? You know what? He needs all the guns. Everything. Just whatever we have. All the guns that are available in the Matrix. Just load them all. Everything that we have in the database. Would he punch in just like a 255 million... No, just like everything. Just star. That's what you do. Just the aspects. Yeah, select star from guns. That's it. And everything just loaded. And I just want to talk about how beautiful that shot is. I was going to say the same thing. Okay, go on. No, go ahead. Okay, well, I mean, it's just wonderful. It's just these two figures in the white background.

23:40And then... Also, he presses the button of two butts touching. Let's see. Let's see. Let's see the button. Okay. But I always love that X. That's one of the best button presses, I think, in movie history. The two butts touching? No, the pressing. Oh, yeah. Amazing. But what's cool in this shot is that I love Trinity's cool walk. Her cool walk. And you know why it's a cool walk? Because she walks, and though the rack of guns, she was just like...

24:21Yeah. Inches away. Inches away. She would have been annihilated by the racks. But because she's so cool, she timed it in advance. Well, I know she's... But look at them. They're black trench coats. You keep... Exactly. That's it. You can't look at the thing in danger. I mean, like, imagine how lame it would be if she didn't walk. You know? This is it. She'd be in another aisle. Yeah, yeah. They just have to... They just have to separate a few guns on the racks, and then they can talk to each other through the aisle. Is there a Glock there? What kind of Glock? Can you show it to Trinity? Do you have ammo at all in there? I just have guns. No ammo. Just guns. So I want to... I just want to say that I believe... I want to believe that this is all kinds of guns from...

25:03All kinds... From the entire Matrix system. You know what I mean? I don't want to believe that this is just a copy-paste of the same aisle forever. No, it's all the guns, basically, from whenever guns were invented. If you go far back, they'll be like muskets. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I would like that to be the case, too. But we obviously know that that's not the case with the visual effects. Now, here. Let's do a quick... We have some time. Let's do a quick test on Macho Man Jake, the gun expert. Oh, yeah. Come on, Jake. Let's see if you can recognize some guns. Let's see if you can find anything. Let's have a look from Neo's side. What kind of guns do you see here, my boy? All right, so we have, if we look at the top right corner, I'm pretty sure at the far right,

25:49those are some Glocks, which are German guns. Yeah, you got some Kalashas beneath them. Right next to those, yes, those are the, I think, Kalashnikos, which are Russian AK-47. Automatic guns. Next to the Kalashnikos are some other automatic rifles. There's some weird one next to the Uzis. I don't know what the hell that is in between. To come back to the pistols on top, you have, then, we had those, remember those Sig Sawyers or maybe the Zastava's return? That is true. Then we have a bunch of Berettas, which is Neo's personal favorite. Yeah, the smaller looking ones. And in the top row, we have, I think those are some submachine guns.

26:31I don't know, Uzis, you said some Uzis? Yeah. Oh, whatever, the Scorpions is, we found out. Yeah, one of those. I think there's some weird, like, rocket launchers up there as well. I think there's, like, the, yeah, the weird, like. On the right. Top right. Those? No, top right. Top left? Oh, top left. Oh, I'm an idiot. What is that? Yeah, all the way in the end there. This? Yeah. Some weird, crazy, big gun that he's not going to choose. And then in the left row, in the middle, we have a lot of those, he picks one of them. He takes one of them and we'll get to that shot. Yeah, the MP5, is it? Or the newer ones, yeah. I think those are also some German ones. Let's flip over to Trinity's side.

27:11Yeah, German Special Forces, you'll use those. So, the only guns I recognize here on Trinity's side, there are two, I think. Completely on the left, we have M16s. Yeah. Which used to be a standard U.S. military. Aversionistic. Full automatic ones. But what's interesting about the M16s is when I think that they moved on to these other guns called M4s. Yeah. Which are like shorter and cooler looking. That's all I know about that. These are full assault rifles. Are those like, you know, Tommy guns on the right? You know, the mafia? Yeah, they look like Thompsons, yeah. They could just go in there with that.

27:52And they're like, we need some fedoras. Oh, imagine that. So bad. Horrible. And Molotov cocktails. I just wanted to get into saying, like, when did Neo decide to get that coat? He didn't, it's just because he was blessed. It's the residual self-image. It's just like, you know, whatever you're feeling like, it puts on you. Hey, this is exactly what I wanted. Oh, yeah. I think the first time he went, they just put whatever clothes on. You know, when he's like, I'm going to the Matrix. He's like, you type in what you want. Yeah, he wants those boots. He wants those boots. So I have a question about the boots. Do you think the boots stand the test of time?

28:32I like them. I would totally buy them. We'll get a close-up. We'll get a nice good look at them. I don't know. It's difficult to say because we'll talk about them when we get the close-up. So, a couple things I wanted to say. Yeah, this is so iconic. And it's cool because what they did here is, obviously, this is a classic cinematic storytelling choice, is that you're not going to show them, put the guns on. That's ridiculous. Oh, I wanted to mention, like, after he goes, that's what's going to work. He hits that, smacks that, a semi-automatic. And, well, they're actually going to be like, okay, let's play it. Okay, Trinity, Trinity. Is it fully automatic? I think so. Yeah, it's just...

29:12Because it's handheld. I thought semi-automatic just... Yeah, it's just a micro-machine gun. It's not a... Sub-machine gun. It's a sub-machine, yeah. A sub-machine gun, but it's automatic. It's not, like, sub-metal. It doesn't have a long, you know, like, rifle. It doesn't have a long barrel. Okay, so there you go. I don't know much about guns. It's fine. I just like how they look. I don't know what he does, but when he does that, what is he doing? He's smacking it. I think, basically... For luck. You know, you kind of... You have, like, a bolt action kind of first load in the chamber. And I think it's, like, you load it, and then he kind of smacks and it goes back. So I don't know why it was, like, half loaded? I don't know what that is.

29:53Anyway... Because it kind of springs back, whatever. And I just want you guys to think of what happens after the cutaway. Yes. Because they're going to have to plan how to put this on themselves, and they're also going to have to be like, okay, we're going to have this bomb. I think we're going to... How are we going to make this bomb? Come on, Trinity. Trinity, we're going to put a bomb in a bag. Okay. What can you imagine? It's like, give me those belts over there. I need more. Those holsters don't hold these guns. I'll get that over there. Neo, we're... Can you look in the other... We're not very, you know, we're not on time here. We got to go. Press for time. We're pressed for time, Neo. Yeah, I know, I know, I know. Okay, okay. And then they put their guns on in, you know, the white floor, and they're like, okay, I'm going to take these. I'm going to put these in my pockets.

30:34Trinity, what do you want to get? I want to get some knives. I want to get some knives. Do you have any space in your pants? I need this AK-47 stuff. Yeah, I'll put a belt in here. Do you think I'll be able to walk like this? Do you think it'll be good enough? And it's like, you know, Tank is like... Yeah, yeah. I think you'll be able to. And it's like, I need another belt, Tank. And then they put another belt for one of her legs, and it's like, I'll put a gun here. Put a gun there. And then, okay, and then Nioh's like, okay, let's see how you walk. It's too much, too many guns, too many guns, right? But no, imagine, we didn't see the sequence when he goes, you know, first we see the sequence, oh, we need guns, lots of guns. Then he pick out our weapons, and he goes, oh, belt. I need a lot of belts. And then Tank's like, okay, let's put the belt here, and then all the belts fall from the sky.

31:15Did you also notice that their sunglasses are not on? That would have been a great part in the movie, where it's like, oh, shit. Yeah. Yeah. Tank, I need some shades. I wonder if that's a conscious choice. How about this, guys? That's why it's gonna work. Shink. Glasses. Oh, boy. Maybe that was part of it. Trinity, come on. Glasses. We need lots of glasses. It's cool because I think they're saving the reveal. Of course, they're saving the reveal. The coolness, yeah. But I'm just saying that they had to plan how many guns they're gonna put on themselves, how many guns they can carry, how many guns they can actually fight with.

31:56So they're actually kind of like doing flips and stuff. I know, but this is a movie. I just want to imagine. It's so funny, and I love it. I'm thinking about that. Yeah. And also, do you notice that they pick really good choices in their guns? Of course they do. They're all sleek. Yeah, they don't pick those camo weird guns. Well, if you get the camo weird guns, they're like, Tank, could you paint this real quick? Probably. Can I have a pink camo? Neo, we're not having pink camos. Imagine the Kalashnikos. It'd be horrible. Can I have like spring... Terrorists. Okay, I just have to mention one thing in the script. There's one thing in the script, and that's the only thing. Okay. And there's just one little line that's been taken out. We don't need the jingle. Not at all. I'll sing it. Tank, like Neo says, guns, lots of guns.

32:42And Tank goes, you got it. That's all he says. You got it. And then we cut to... Oh, and Tank says like, welcome to the shop or something like that. Shut up, Tank. Yeah. So we cut to Smith and he's doing something. And then we look at one of the agents typing on a keyboard. and then he types at the other keyboard but there's no keys there. He just kind of smacks it a bit with his finger for no reason. I thought it was touchscreen. You're right. Is he touching the screen? Yeah, touchscreen. Wait, let me see. The sound effects too. Yeah, they even put the sound effects for the touch. Oh, he's with his index finger because it looks like he's just kind of like... Yeah, so that close-up of the monitors

33:22you can see Morpheus's head, I guess and it's showing how the serum is working or not. Classic movie hacking. What is he typing? There's nothing on the screen. There's nothing to type. It's not right. He's just like touching. By the way, who's the agent in the background? I don't recognize him. In the back at the desk? That's Brown. That's Jason Jones, isn't it? Sorry, Jones. Is that Jones? He looks kind of wonky. I guess it is. Yeah, it's totally Jason Jones. Budget agent. He looks kind of scary in that one. Morpheus, I don't know if you know this but we have seat filler agents. Sometimes we feel like we're too little so we get, you know, basically decoys. We're too many decoys. Placeholders. Cardboard cutouts. Like the Academy Awards.

34:02When some people go to the bathroom we have seat fillers to put into the stage so when they film the coverage of the audience they're all filled. All filled. Okay. That's it. The gun's lots of guns. That's it, man. Why isn't the serum working? Getting frustrated. The serum's not working. Morpheus is a strong man. So a little sneak preview for next week. What are we looking at? Well, the serum we'll find out why the serum might not be working. Oh, I have a movie. And then Agent Smith is going to get real. He's going to get real. Yeah. And maybe That's all next week? Yeah. I'll reveal movie No guns, man. No, no guns yet?

34:43Oh, booboo caca. No, then nothing. When we do have guns hopefully we're going to have Crystal Beth with us. Yeah, that's right. That'd be awesome. Magic times. Magic times. So just back to Smith. He's going to He's going to take his sunglasses off and he's going to It's the smell. I can't. I need the codes. I need to get out. It's okay. I need to go booboo. We'll think of something to say. I need to go booboo. And that with that Thank you. Friday, Friday. And that with that See you next week, guys. Goodbye. Bye-bye. Dovidenya. Dovidenya. Oof.
