Episode 87 - "You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he's expecting to wake up. Ironically, this is not far from the truth."

Welcome, podcast audience, to the real world. In this electrifying episode of the Silver Screen Podcast, hosts Mike and D.K. are joined by returning guests Glenn and Angela for a deep dive into the iconic 1999 sci-fi masterpiece, 'The Matrix'. Get ready to jack into the conversation as they explore the myriad influences that shaped this genre-defining film, from its roots in philosophy and religion to its dazzling homage to anime and cyberpunk aesthetics. As the team unravels the complex threads woven by the Wachowskis, they journey through the history of sci-fi cinema’s fascination with the perils of technology and artificial intelligence. What do the film’s haunting questions about free will versus determinism really mean? Would you have taken the blue pill or sided with steak-loving Cypher's desire to live comfortably in ignorance? And how does 'The Matrix' challenge our understanding of reality versus perception? Glenn and Angela bring fresh perspectives as they delve into the epic showdown between Neo and Agent Smith, examining the profound Asian cinematic influences that make this duel a thing of legend. Of course, no discussion of 'The Matrix' would be complete without a nod to its groundbreaking special effects. Mike, D.K., Glenn, and Angela break down the iconic "bullet time" sequences, pondering how these slow-motion visuals redefined not only action cinema but were so influential to everything from 'Shrek' to 'Scary Movie'. Whether you're a veteran of our own virtual Zion or a first-time viewer, this episode offers something for everyone. Tune in for a mind-bending conversation that will leave you questioning the nature of your own reality—or at the very least, craving a pair of black sunglasses and a billowing leather coat. Whoa!

"There is no spoon"

Episode 69 - "Burnham would have normally, like, punched Tilly in the face. She just knew she didn't wanna go back to prison, that's why she didn't."

Captain Michael Burned-ham is back on the bridge, and this time, it's personal! With 'Star Trek: Discovery' officially wrapped, it's time to dive deep into the mycelial network of episodes and emerge with the ultimate top ten list. But Captain Burned-ham isn’t doing this alone—we're joined by an all-star crew of returning guests who know Discovery like the back of a Klingon Bat'leth. First up, we’ve got the indomitable Sci-Fi Queen and geeky podcaster extraordinaire, Nita, whose love for Discovery is as boundless as the universe. Next, Ash Tyler superfan and Discovery aficionado Jordan La Fordan is ready to defend her favorites with the passion of a true believer. And last but not least, Justin, who just completed an epic binge-watch, is armed with fresh takes and ready to bring the heat. Each guest will reveal their personal top ten episodes, ranked with the precision of a Vulcan mind meld. Points will be awarded accordingly—10 for first place through to 1 for tenth—before our fearless crew works together to assemble a definitive list that would make even Captain Pike proud. Expect heated debates, surprising alliances, and plenty of Black Alert moments as they navigate the complex spore drive of opinions. Will they find common ground, or will it be a battle as fierce as the Burn? Tune in, strap in, and get ready to boldly go where no podcast has gone before. "Let’s fly!"
