Episode description

Erich and Krishiv tackle one of the most monumental studio efforts of the 2000s with the Wachowski's Speed Racer. As a follow up to the immensely successful Matrix Trilogy, Speed Racer had a lot to live up to, and while initial reception was not too great, listen as your hosts trace the reason for its greatness. From its amazing visual style, endearing story of underdog talent raging against corporate Armageddon, and a genuine love for filmmaking, Speed Racer has it all.

Cael Keegan's book, Lana and Lily Wachowski: Sensing Transgender, is available for purchase from the University of Illinois Press.
