SMC Pod #96: Reconsidering SPEED RACER & The Wachowskis

Special guest TV & movie writer Anne Mortensen-Agnew (@annesplains) joins the SMC team (Connor Lloyd Crews, Edwin Gomez, Daniel Ott, Craig Hammill) to discuss the Wachowski's 2008 live action adaptation of anime classic SPEED RACER which everyone (but Edwin) thinks is a 21st century masterpiece due for reconsideration. The Wachowskis' other work gets discussed as well as the price filmmakers pay when they try to innovate or push the form in a summer blockbuster medium. Everyone is yet again blown away when Edwin insists ASSASSINS and MATRIX REVOLUTIONS are the best things the Wachowskis have done.
