The Matrix was a blockbuster hit when it came out in 1999. Now, more than 20 years later, the film still feels relevant — whether it’s people talking about “taking the red pill” or theorizing that we’re all really living in a computer simulation — the movie starring Keanu Reeves as Neo and Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus permeated the culture.
With the Matrix Resurrections opening in Canada on Wednesday, Jayme Poisson speaks with John Semley about why the film made such an impact then, and how its influence is still felt today. Plus, Charley Archer explains why the original movie, made by two trans women Lilly and Lana Wachowski, is an iconic piece of trans art.

An essay published in the Nation on Friday warns of the convergence of New Age trends with right-wing extremist political conspiracies and how the “real threat” emanates not from those who breached the Capitol in January but from “self-serious Republicans” like House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and those “who aren’t easily denounced as extremists.”
The essay, penned by Toronto-based writer John Semley and titled “Could One of Your Facebook Friends Be the Next QAnon Shaman?” bears the subheadline, “Seemingly benign online communities have become breeding grounds for the kind of far-right ideology on display at the US Capitol insurrection.”
