Wachowski Watch

We return with Sense8’s third episode of season two, “Obligate Mutualisms”. Listen to us discuss what the episode title actually means, Sun’s stressful jail break (baby!) moment, and of course some fun art history murder times with Croomes. 

 And we’re back with the first official non-special episode of Sense8’s season two, “Who Am I?”. Listen to us talk about how kick ass Riley is as the ultimate travel agent outwitting Whispers, Felix’s complete lack of nightclub ownership qualifications, and Capheus’s awesome new love interest, Zakia. 

Welcome back to our coverage of Sense8 where we return with a Christmas Special extravaganza, “Happy Fucking New Year”! Listen to our extended conversation where nothing says the holidays quite like some new faces (*cough* Capheus *cough*), the return of Felix, and (of course) a birthday/dance/orgy celebration for the ages!

 And we’ve made it to the final episode for season one of Sense8 with “I Can’t Leave Her”! Listen to us discuss Will’s phantom pregnancy, Wolfgang violently redecorating his uncle’s home, and Riley’s traumatizing car rides--both past and present!

And we've got Sense8's penultimate season 1 episode, "Turn the Wheel and the Future Changes"! Listen to us discuss Tall Man Leader of the Superpower Gang, awesome intercutting between Sun and Capheus in prison, the combo power of an angry Sun and a Van Damme Van kick, and the return of the Bug! 

Hello, Loyal Listeners! We've returned with "What Is Human?", the tenth Sense8 episode. Hear us talk about Wolfgang's casual rocket launcher, a montage of birth and bloody noses, and the return of Joey Pants in all his cozy, anti-electrician glory!

Welcome back, Loyal Listeners, to our ninth Sense8 episode, "Death Doesn't Let You Say Goodbye". Listen to us talk about the mope-fest of grave visits and childhood traumas, as well as complicated four-way conversations, and Lito's flare for the dramatics with his choice of footwear and lighters.

Hello Loyal Listeners, and welcome to the eighth Sense8 episode, "We Will Be Judged by the Courage of Our Hearts". Hear us rave about Amanita's feminine product stalling methods, Baby Felix's Jason Bourne skills in response to Baby Wolfgang's horrible family dinners, and Nomi's great escape, bicycle style.

Hello, Loyal Listeners! We're here with the seventh Sense8 episode, "WWN Double D?", where things really start to ramp up. Listen to us talk about the grand arrival of Bug, Riley's dad and his gold start airport greeting skills, and Terminator-esque zombies! 

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.

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.

 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!

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.

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!

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).

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.

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.

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?

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.

Welcome, Loyal Listeners, to our final foray into the world of the Matrix with last installment in the trilogy, The Matrix Revolutions (2003). Hear us ramble about Hugo Weaving's maniacal laughter as he duplicates himself. Never a bad thing.
