Description
WELCOME BACK, REFINERS! TIME FOR MORE "ORIGINS"...It's been a long, hot summer on the picket line for both WGA and SAG-AFTRA members. Nothing is moving so far in the way of negotiations or agreements. Instead of sitting around bored down here on the Severed Floor, I've started to take a look at those things that influenced Dan Erickson as he was creating "Severance." I'm calling it the "Severed: Origins" Series. Hey, it may not be Season Two, but it's better than listening to Dylan tell us about his caricatures again. This time out on "Origins", we begin our epic breakdown of the 1999 sci-fi masterpiece "The Matrix". We will be ripping this baby apart in intimate detail. We came really close to breaking down "Dark City'...but then I watched "Dark City." Details in the podcast."The Matrix" was a philosophical and cultural phenomenon...or maybe it was nothing more than a high-minded shoot-em-up (according to Roger Ebert). Wherever you fall on the "Matrix" importance continuum, we can all agree Keanu was cool and the effects were AWESOME! Here...have a Blue Pill 'n Chill. It's time to go find that spoon.This is Part One of "The Matrix" Origins Breakdown. Be watching for additional installments of "The Matrix" Origins in coming weeks. Want to watch "The Matrix" for yourself? It is available for immediate streaming to Max subscribers. You can rent it from all of the usual rental places for anywhere from $1.99 to $3.99. Questions?

Periodically, during the down time, we will be taking a look at those things that Dan Erickson has listed as inspiration. Be watching for those episodes under the title "Severed: Origins."
