Hey Renn, I was all set to hear you talk about SPEED Racer (a favorite of mine as well), but the link didn't work (from Patrick's site to the download)

Do I need to visit from a desktop to hear it? I am on my iPad 2 right now

I couldn't say, but both of the episodes linked are on iTunes and you can find them by searching for their respective podcast titles. Hopefully that will work better.

Gave the discussion a listen yesterday. Apart from some sound issues with hearing Renn (which improved as the show went on), it was a great episode of a podcast I am now subscribed to and enjoying the back catalog of.  Renn has some very interesting things to say about the Wachowski's judicious use of editing.  Very interesting to hear what someone with some actual schooling has to say about these matters.  Renn, I know you've written about the Matrix before, somewhere on this site I believe, but I'm having some difficulty locating it.  Could you perhaps link some of your past stuff on the Matrix in this thread?  Also very nive to hear the enthusiasm and appreciation for Speed Racer!  I will never forgive myself for passing on this film when it was in IMAX theaters because I narrowly assumed it was some stupid kiddie movie. 

 

Great stuff!

I think our last list is pretty much the only long-form writing I've done on the movie.

You know I was all over a podcast about Speed Racer!  Of course, I'm already a fan of the Director's Club Sandwich.

 

And now I'll be listening to Joshua's podcast as well.  Thanks for the heads up!

That's the one I was thinking of.  Now THAT is film writing!  Thanks for digging it up. Would love to read what you have to say about the sequels as well.

Regarding the moment in THE MATRIX that you guys were discussing, after Neo rescues Morpheus and Trinity from the helicopter, I always read Morpheus' line to be a reaction to everything Neo has done to that point, from deciding to rescue him while on the ship, the lobby fight and the rooftop fight to that leap and catch. His recognition of Neo being The One only feels "right" to say after they're all safe, which happens to come after the helicopter crashes into the building but it's not that any specific action that is particularly revelatory.
