Episode 165 Speed Racer
After the success of the Matrix trilogy, the Wachowskis veered hard in the opposite direction and created the family-friendly, candy-colored, sports movie, Speed Racer (2008). Based on the 1960’s anime of the same name, this wrongfully maligned dazzler manages to pack emotional weight, astonishing visuals, and a truth-to-power message into a light-hearted summer popcorn flick that paved the way for today’s modern action fantasies. Join us for an episode that includes Matt’s mom’s strong arms, government subsidized corn talk, and some unpopular opinions concerning James Cameron, this week on Ex Rated Movies!
