This week on The Collider.com Podcast, we're doing a bit of a flashback episode. The Matrix Reloaded opened 15 years ago this week, so we thought it would be a good idea to revisit the film and its sequel, The Matrix Revolutions. We discuss why the original The Matrix was such a success, why the sequels fall so short, the occasional bright spots, the elements that don't work (*cough*Zion*cough*) and much more. We then finish up with a new installment of Recently Watched.
