The Matrix Resurrections 2021
“I wish you would fucking stop calling me that. I hate that name.”
Lana Wachowski is back, and this time she isn’t pulling any fucking punches.
The Matrix Resurrections is everything I could have possibly dreamed of, and more. I dreaded the possibility that it would play up familiarity with the first film, and nearly ignore Reloaded and Revolutions. What we got couldn’t be further from that.

Bo Burnham: Inside 2021
Bo Burnham’s magnum opus. Less of a comedy special, more like Bo Burnham’s The Wall. All of the ills of society and self that plague Burnham swell up, coalesce, merge, and ultimately shatter in our faces, all as our role as viewer is called into question. We feel voyeuristic, perverted for even bearing witness to this man’s complete loss of self. Perhaps that’s what he wants, though. For us to feel perverse. What an invention. What a beautiful, terrifying paradox.
