On today’s Unwatchables, we ask the question: how do you follow up one of the most popular sci-fi trilogies ever made? If you’re the Wachowskis, it’s with three straight flops, each one stranger, more expensive, and more widely derided than the last. We’re joined by Brad Efford of the internet zine Wig Wag to survey the sisters' entire post-Matrix career, and figure out if anything deserves cult status— or if it’s all just Unwatchable. They are 2008’s live-action cartoon SPEED RACER, 2012’s literary adaptation CLOUD ATLAS, and 2015’s space opera JUPITER ASCENDING.
