Wachowski Watch Episode 15: Sense8 ~ 1.06 Demons

We've returned Loyal Listeners with a steamy (literally and figuratively speaking) sixth Sense8 episode, "Demons". Listen to us discuss Will and Riley's fun little rom-com phone date, and the Bat Van's fall from grace, among other things. And remember: the cluster that orgies together, stays together.

Wachowski Watch Episode 14: Sense8 ~ 1.05 Art is Like Religion

And we're back! For our fifth Sense8 epsiode, "Art is Like Religion", listen to us discuss Wolfgang's preference for naked German swimming pools and crashing weddings, "Van Sham" as the greatest insult ever, and Lito's traffic tantrums.

Wachowski Watch Episode 13: Sense8 ~ 1.04 What's Going On?

 Hello, Loyal Listeners! We return with our fourth Sense8 episode, "What's Going On?". Listen to us talk about Felix and his shoes, and of course, the undeniable unifying power of karaoke!

Wachowski Watch Episode 12: Sense8 ~ 1.03 Smart Money's on the Skinny Bitch

Welcome back, Loyal Listeners, to our third Sense8 episode! Get ready to hear about secret underground Korean fight clubs, the power of Van Damme and stubborn widows, and creepy throat slitting lunch lessons.

Wachowski Watch Episode 11: Sense8 ~ 1.02 I Am Also a We

Welcome back, Loyal Listeners, to the second episode of Sense8! In this one we cover Nomi's crappy parents and the questionable legality of lobotomies; having Bollywood dancers on speed dial, and, of course, the return of the one and only Joey Pants! With hair! Sort of!

Wachowski Watch Episode 10: Sense8 ~ 1.01 Limbic Resonance

Expand your senses Loyal Listeners, as we dive into the Wachowski's world of television with Sense8! Co-created with J. Michael Straczynski, the first season of this Netflix series aired in 2015. Listen to us talk about the "pilot" episode, where we discuss the intro of an amazing (and amazingly large) global cast, including drug dealer Nyx (we see you Uncle Benjen).

Wachowski Watch Episode 09: Jupiter Ascending

Welcome, Loyal Listeners, to our final foray into Wachowski films (for now) with Jupiter Ascending (2015). Listen to us discuss some of the film's underlying issues amidst some of the most ambitious universe-building. Oh, and also we talk about our love of gravity boots, Sean BEEan, and of course, Eddie Redmayne's whisper-screams.

Wachowski Watch Episode 08: Cloud Atlas

We return, Loyal Listeners, with Cloud Atlas (2012), the Wachowski's final and most ambitious adaptation (so far). Co-directed with Tom Tywker, and adapted from David Mitchell's bestseller, this timeline hopping film is, in every sense of the word, epic. Listen to us ramble on about mind-blowing editing and, of course, Hugh Grant's wonderful cannibalistic turn. It's the true true.

Wachowski Watch Episode 07: Speed Racer

And we're back, Loyal Listeners, with the Wachowski's wacky, candy-colored extravaganza, Speed Racer (2008)! Hear us talk about the delights of flying your own purple helicopter, and John Goodman with his glorious mustache battling ninjas. Oh, and also there's racing! Did we mention racing?

Wachowski Watch Episode 06: V for Vendetta

Voilá! In view, as we had voraciously and vivaciously vowed, Loyal Listeners, is our V for Vendetta (2005) episode! Although this political thriller was directed by the talented Matrix alum James McTeigue (Sense8 fans stay tuned!), it was executive produced and written by the Wachowskis. So we're counting it. Because it's awesome. And because then we can also continue our not-so-secret Hugo Weaving fan club.
