The Matrix: Resurrections pulls the ReWatchable panel back into the fold for one last ride with the original crew. Although everything seems slightly the same, this meta retelling of the series offers something new for everyone. Leaning into the film took a bit of effort at the start, but the film still laid the groundwork for another discussion of the larger themes of the piece from Lana Wachowski. Join us as we ask the big questions, such as: Did this movie need to be made? Did we enjoy it? Did Keanu make another joke?!

Happy Holidays from ReWatchable! Our hosts have once again come together to celebrate with another holiday special. This time we watch the legendary Sandra Bullock try to untangle herself from the she-said, she-said lie of While You Were Sleeping. Despite the fact that the plot that could have easily been resolved very quickly with no fallout several times throughout this movie, we find ourselves tangled up in enough of the delightful antics to discuss whether Bill Pullman holds his own against Sandy, debate whose lie is worse (Lucy Moderatz or Joe Fox), and whether we appreciate public demonstrations of love or not.
Before we get into the episode notes, if you are a ReWatchable fan from way back, we have some exciting Subjectify content for you! Natalie Fisher spoke with our dear friend Giles, Anthony Head, about his new project The Canterville Ghost and more!

The movie dives right into the thick of it but not action-wise, the characters take center stageVolume was a major issue for home viewing, perhaps due to its IMAX releaseWith the balance of jumping between character moments, did we lose a lot of Neo in this film after sticking very close to him in the past 2 films?Which direction is the train going?

But was this intentional?Smith, who are you? Why are you here?

ReWatchableâs journey into the Wachowskisâ Matrix trilogy continues with The Matrix Reloaded. Our hosts unpack a highly philosophical sequel that leans heavily on action sequences, sex, and monologues providing very few breadcrumbs for our hero Neo to follow on his journey. Is what the Architect reveals enough to leave us wanting more? Join us as we try to keep our attention focused on what it all means.

This isnât the sequel weâre looking for, but itâs the one we haveSix degrees of How I Met Your MotherHow much action is too much action?Pick your first action in the Matrix and your outfit!Zion is not a flashback to serve as Morpheusâ backstory, but rather a real, very big place for humanity!Morpheus is not loved by Lock, but he is a headliner of Zion Coachella We get a slice of life: Morpheusâ influence, Neoâs reception, Linkâs tie to the mission, and also Gina Torres is thereHowever, it quickly dissolved into 36 hours of leave sex and a giant raveCan we trust the old White guy? Apparently we can!Neo canât seem to grasp the bigger picture hereThe spoon didnât do much for us hereSeraph has a nice short scene that has a purpose and progresses the plot!The Oracle gives us a lot of insight in a very short amount of time and there are a lot of rebel programs that are existing in the major networkPersephone we have your back 100% if you just want to stab Merovingian.Time to play a round of: Do you really have autonomy or not?The fight scene that lasted 1000 yearsAt least the Keymaker is adorable and gets to have a heist scene momentWe meet the Architect who seems a bit annoyed that Neo actually has a choice in this programming and that he has to wait to let it play outWhat exactly happens to Trinity?Neo fights the machines with his mind and we get a cliffhanger!But before we go, what did we think of the romance?Favorite ScenesFavorite Lines

Itâs a ReWatchable Halloween Special! Continuing our run of 2021 movie episodes, we are here to bring you our thoughts about the 1998 fan-favorite spooky rom-com, Practical Magic. Starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, this weird and witchy tale tells the story of the Owens sisters, who are as blessed with magic as they are cursed to lose the men they fall in love with. Five ReWatchable hosts have gathered on Halloween to tell a tale of love, loss, raising the dead, and of course, magic.
Fun Facts
In case you missed it, we are on Subjectify Media now.Episode 37 of Not About The Weather has a great explanation of what exactly happened and why weâve got a new website.Our fun facts are themed: whatâs your favorite Halloween TV special? The winners include Buffy, Supernatural, Stranger Things, How I Met Your Mother, and Boy Meets World.Practical Magic
Interestingly, all our Americans are newbies today, and our superfans are the international hosts.Kendra had not heard of this movie til two weeks ago.Karen was expecting scarier - like The Craft!Danielle had seen a famous scene on Tiktok which both set the scene and did not prepare her at all.Natalie saw this movie in the cinema in the 90s.Is this a feminist movie? Kind of. Itâs very women supporting women, but also weirdly women versus women. Starting with the whole Maria Owens situation.Pro tip: don't curse your own family line, it goes against the biological imperative.So much happens in the first 20 minutes. Some hosts expected the set up of the first 20 minutes to be the whole movie. But no.The aunts casting a love spell on Sally might be well meaning but itâs creepy as hell.Natalieâs theory is that they are breeding her to keep the family line going. Gross.The Faith Hill âThis Kissâ scene is a pretty huge pop culture moment.Everyone in this movie has a lot of hair and it is wonderful.Should Gilly, the romantic, have gotten the chance at true love?Was Jimmy a vampire. No. Well, maybe. Well, no. But. Maybe?The newbies did not expect the sisters to be murderers.Let alone double murderers.Was the whipped cream disgusting or inspired? If you donât make your own necromancy ingredients, store bought is fine!Gary the Cop shows up chasing Jimmy down for Jimmyâs crimes, so he doesnât seem to be concerned about harm befalling Jimmy.But he does have to uphold the law, and these women are not good at covering up crimes.Did Sally, like, make Gary with her spell?Is the Owens curse objectively real? Is it naive to just not believe in it?If you claim that itâs down to belief only, then Sally killed her husband by believing in it.Karen wasn't expecting to be thinking about the theoretical workings of magic this hard for this movie.Itâs called Practical Magic! You didnât think we may discuss the practicality of magic?Are soul bonds ethical? What about free will?Natalie has read a Supernatural AU of Practical Magic featuring Dean and Sam as the witches and Cas as the cop.But seriously, Sallyâs spell. Is it Google Maps or The Sims? (Just go with it.)Natalie delivers some tea about soulmate compatibility. Depressing or inspiring? You decide. Karen is very upset.Just when you thought this movie was over, it is not over!The climax depends on reaching out to all the women who hated them and drawing back the fear curtain.This movie fits into every category. Horror? Romcom? Family drama? Sure.This movie is quite famously full of queer themes, even though it isnât about lesbians.Thereâs some chat about why fictional incest is a trope here too. (Just go with it.) We look at why media is incapable of showing intimacy between people without coding it the same way romantic intimacy is coded.A real witch put a curse on this movie. Itâs an extreme cult classic in so many ways! Favorite scenes.Favorite lines.This episodeâs superfans are: Maj Elisabeth and Natalie Fisher.

In honor of our Sense8 round, weâll be covering the Wachowskisâ Matrix trilogy in advance of the 4th instalment this December. Today we bring you a ReWatchable deep dive into the original, iconic, philosophical and plain legendary 1999 classic that is The Matrix.

Watch it now, if not for the Ted or the Muppets, then for the dedication.Kendra watched the entire Matrix trilogy for the first time in the past few months to celebrate her anniversary, however her partner cannot watch a movie or read a book without spoiling it.But Kendraâs real fun fact is that she is about to embark on a Halloween cookbook review spree for Subjectify so stay tuned if you want some spooky treats (and of course she is going all out to have her friends sample her cooking!)With the closing of Hypable, Brittany uncovered some deeply locked away memories from her time covering a few shows that should never be named.The Matrix
Superfans: how many times have you seen this movie? What has stuck with you? What has changed?Newbies: In thinking about the movie as a pop culture classic, what were you aware of going in?The world building is very intricately designed thanks to the work put in off screen.Trinity opens the series to establish the premise that there is another layer to this environment where an us versus them battle is happening outside the parameters of the world we know.Do the special effects hold up today? A lot of effects were either invented or honed specifically for this movie. It truly changed the game for Hollywood, we had not seen ANYTHING like this in Western cinema. More reading: (link) (link - slight spoilers for Reloaded)Practical effects helped the movie's action feel real. The Wachowskis drew from Hong Kong action movies with lots of martial arts and they hired fight choreographers from those movies to get it, so thereâs lots of wire work and practical stuff. The lobby shootout is ALL practical VFX except painting out the wires that let them do the stunts.âThere is the world that people think is real and the reality beneath thatâ -- the Wachowskis speak to gender transition throughout the film. The Matrix, according to them, has always been a trans allegory. More reading: (link) (link) (link) (thread) (thread)The imagery of meeting Neo for the first time when he is detached from reality (sleeping) is quite fitting.Letâs discuss Neoâs character development, specifically: is it good? Does the Matrix affect this? Are we meant to interpret him through that lens?If you ever visit Natalie she can take you on a Matrix tour of Sydney.Is there a better Chosen One story where the appointed one has a choice? Is there even another one that offers a choice?The first moment that the rules of reality do not apply and we get a glimpse of Neo figuring something out about the world he's in is when he asks for his phone call.Neo is apparently not put off by the whole bug removal thing and decides to follow Trinity to Morpheus.Would you take the red pill or the blue pill? Also, fuck right-wing co-opting of this reference. Did everyone see Lilly Wachowski dunking on Ivanka Trump over this?Morpheus and the crew of the Nebuchadnezzar save the flushed dead goldfish Neo from the AI overlords, we witness a (sometimes gross) rebirth.Letâs go through the ship and meet our friends (and one enemy)! Tank is the MVP of the secondary character crew, but in true Brittany fashion, she likes Cypher.Trinity gets her moment in the spotlight thanks to Karen.[pause for white room orientation and kung fu training montage]Cypherâs intentions are sympathetic though executed poorly.The Oracle scene and the Chosen One narrative the Matrix uses needs plenty of unpacking - this is really the crux of the movie.These are not your standard action movie deaths. The psychology of this movie hits hard.The conversation between Morpheus and Smith had a twist that changed the motivations for the final moments of the movie.And now we finally get to it! The action! Neo is The One!

The ReWatchable team comes together for a movie viewing of A League of Their Own and they get emotional over women in baseball once more!
Hosts: Danielle, Ariana, Kendra, Natalie, and Brittany
Fun Facts:
Kendra is putting together a fandom wall in her living room: items include Hogwarts, The Witcher, Baby Yoda, and Lost. Brittany had a baseball heavy day with watching some live sports and then reading about all of the rules that will be in play for the upcoming MLB season. Natalie is now a single issue person: we only talk about The Old Guard. But it has given her a window into single movies that inspire a fandom springing up around it. Ariana has watched two perfect things -- The Baby-Sitters Club and Palm Springs. For more feel-good TV, Danielle has watched Baby Daddy, Young and Hungry, and Warrior Nun.
A League of Their Own movie discussion
- Superfans: How many times have you seen this movie?
- Newbies: Initial thoughts? First reactions?
- We need an "Is Tom Hanks Okay?" website for Kendra
- All-American Girls Baseball League was real! It lasted for about a decade while men were overseas and coming back
- The women were in fact obligated to attend charm school, wear lipstick at all times, and yes, those uniforms are true to history
- One thing that didn't make it into the movie was the lesbian relationships that came out of the league
- There is a great focus on the many facets of being a woman in the 50s
- Let's take a look at that propaganda

- This is a story about women supporting women and siblings

The ReWatchable hosts return for the Pitch series wrap up episode discussing what might have been if the series went on, and the season as a whole.
Superfans: Danielle and Ariana
Newbies: Kendra, Natalie, and Brittany
Fun Facts:
Kendra went on her first overnight hike last week and her dog took on her guard dog persona and got super excited about seeing a beaver! And now the hosts are all afraid of beavers. Brittany watch Staged and absolutely delightful experience. Natalie is finally podcasting in her library (for the benefit of her neighbors) and is officially giving it a test run as it is meant to be her official podcasting spacing going forward. Ariana's cat is being insane and kept her up all night. Throwing a all-nighter in this environment? Come on. Danielle has been watching a lot of Baby Daddy thanks to Ariana's suggestion sprinkling in some Young and Hungry and Sense8.
(Which we recapped, listen here: Sense8 1x01 Discussion)
Pitch series wrap up discussion
- High points of the series
- What has stuck with us the most about the series?
- Are there series about sports outside of this that are not set in high school?
- What other sports lend themselves to series?
- We do have some suggestions here, but they aren't the same: Check out these shows featuring competitive sports
- The access that Pitch had to the MLB was a unique outlying factor and something that other series might not be able to acquire
- Ginny's emotional journey was another highlight of the series
- Mike Lawson arc needed some more room, but they did a great job setting him up and teasing out his path
- We love a good will they/won't they
- Oscar is a saint and needs more screen time
- The opening segment is one of the best parts of the series, but some runner ups include the red dress, the photo shoot, the almost kiss, hiring Livan, and so many other small moments
- The flashbacks were not a hinderance! What a concept!
- Ginny bonding with her teammates allowed for the supporting characters to have some time in the spotlight
- Low points of the series (besides the cancellation!)
- Some underlying threads lost their luster episode to episode
- We do kind of wish Amelia was a bit better at her job...
- Mini fridges are still stupid
- What were we missing? What did we want to see in the Pitch future?
- Some moments: Blip and Mike's continued fallout, Blip and Evelyn flashbacks, Ginny on disability, and Ginny's future in the league, Ginny and Livan's partnership (on the field? off the field?), Oscar and Al flashbacks!!
- Ginny's family and history needed some more exploration as well
- How would the show play in the contemporary landscape?
- What is the optimal run for the series?
- Would we watch it again?
- We should all remember Mo'ne Davis, the inspiration for the series!
- Everyone should read Ariana's coverage of the Pitch PaleyFest panel!
We have a backlog of feedback to get through:
- Some thoughts on Ginny's plot line in the final stretch of episodes
- The power dynamic between Ginny and Mike is a bit... cringe? But also not?
- Pitch appreciation!

The ReWatchable hosts take the mound one last time to discuss the series finale, Pitch season 1, episode 10, "Don't Say It."
Superfans: Danielle and Ariana
Newbies: Kendra and Natalie
Fun Facts: Kendra went slacklining! She is very, very cool. Natalie completed her front garden, and is making the world better a little piece at a time. Ariana made a Chrissy Teigen crepe (it was quite ugly, but very delicious), and Danielle took a social distancing drive down a generally busy but now eerily quiet downtown Chicago.
Pitch season 1, episode 10, "Donât Say It"
- Mike is back in the clubhouse! He doesnât exactly get the warmest of welcomes, but Sonny did try and do his part to get the slow clap going.
- Bachelor Mike has to confess to Blip that Chicago did not accept his rose, but Blip is going through his own problems right now and is not here for Mikeâs mess.
- Mike and Ginny decide they donât need to talk about last night, so they donât, but the SUBTEXT is screaming that they have some *ehem* unresolved stuff to work through.
- Sometimes itâs nice when people play the guitar, but sometimes itâs cringeyâ like when a billionaire mogul performs in a coffee shop...
- Mikeâs ex-wife knows what she is doing and frankly itâs not cute.
- Al tells Mike he doesnât want The New Girl deep down, he wants the girl thatâs always been there, but Mike is dumb and doesnât realize this is just a metaphor.
- Evelyn wants more out of life and we support her in spirit but still think a restaurant isnât the greatest idea in this economy.
- Blip is tired of being everyoneâs backup guy, and he is VERY tired of Mike being a sulky baby.
- Screwgies is a terrible idea but from a production standpoint it would at least give us a standing set.
- Ginny is really nice to her stealing brother, and really mean to Amelia (who maybe had it coming, but not like this!)
- Ginny is the center of Ameliaâs world, which is deeply sad because itâs not reciprocated.
- We have some VERY strong feeling about whether or not Ginny should have been pulled from her no-hitter game. Multiple hearts are broken.

Superfans: Danielle and Ariana
Newbies: Kendra, Natalie and Brittany
Fun Facts: Ariana has a fun, fun fact -- HER FIRST TV EPISODE IS GOING TO BE ON!! Watch Roswell, New Mexico on the CW! And she has an IMDB page! While on Hulu, Natalie realized that Pitch is the first show we've done on here that she is very sad that there is no more! We feel so unfulfilled, but in the mean time there is fan fiction and Avatar: The Last Airbender chats! Brittany is flying through a rewatch of the series. Kendra is excited that her drive-in movie theater is opening and will safely enjoy films from her car with her dog! Danielle has been ordering in food and she is ordering a full brunch spread AND a full rib dinner for 2 (to eat over multiple days).

Superfans: Danielle and Ariana
Newbies: Kendra and Brittany
Fun Facts: Kendra has us beat yet again for fun quarantine activities and this week she hosted a pop culture themed murder mystery virtual escape room. Brittany walked down her hallway! Ariana has an update for us about her Google fit activity -- she has been upping her daily step count! 10K a day keeps the laziness away! We're running low on fun facts, but we do learn that Danielle's cat plays fetch with a toy taco! She can play for the Padres!
Hey Pitch is on Hulu now!
Pitch season 1, episode 8, "Unstoppable Forces and Immovable Objects"
- These are the episodes of Pitch Danielle has been waiting for!
- What did we think about the return of Ginny's brother?
- Will's return is not exactly a fun return, but his life is stacked against Ginny's
- EW did an interview about this episode with the Pitch writers. You can read it here.
- Evelyn! No! Do not get swayed by Will's restaurant business
- Amelia and Ginny should probably talk about Ginny's family a bit more
- Were Amelia's actions above board here? Or did it cross a line?
- It does not rain in California. 17 rain outs in 40 years. Can you believe it?
- Mike is having a rough go of it. A really rough go.
- Al values having Mike in the clubhouse, which is a huge endorsement. He needs him in more than one place.
- No more speeches, let's rally the troops another way and get everyone off their phones!
- Where does the money go to that they raise during the hearings?
- Can we have a ReWatchable pizza party with the money?
- Buck would NEVER give that sign.
- Also, Mike calm down that was an explosive episode
- Good on Ginny for taking the high road here and also being concerned about what was going on underneath the outbursts
- Can't you see that we are destined to be together?! Who hasn't had this crush though?
- Mike completely told on himself here when he listed all the things he loves, err, notices about Ginny
- How was her humming on a scale of Off Key to Katy Perry?
- Do Mike and Ginny have "Firework" potential?
- Wait, why is Mike going to the Cubs?
- "It's okay for me to want this thing for myself" - maybe this isn't just about shipping! Is this even ReWatchable?
- Blip had some great one-liners in this episode
- Livan and Ginny are flirty, but in a good and innocent way that makes us want to see them work together forever
- Oscar is basically a fireman -- get the people towels, fix the field, don't refund tickets, and please get Mike to leave!
- Charlie needs a new fridge (Brittany will die on this hill)
- Oscar needs a raise

Superfans: Danielle and Ariana
Newbies: Brittany and Natalie
Fun Facts: Brittany has found a new cartoon thanks to insomnia and thinks everyone should watch Harley Quinn. Natalie has some updates and information on an initiative from the wonderful people at Random Acts called AMOK (Annual Melee of Kindness). Check out the website for how to get involved!

Hey Pitch is on Hulu now!
Pitch season 1, episode 7, "San Francisco"
- Meet your newest Padre - Levan Duarte
- Is he the absolute worst? Or does he just need to learn a lesson?
- What do we think about how Mike handled Duarte's arrival?
- Did the flashbacks help a bit more here than they do in perhaps some other episodes?
- To no one's surprise, Ariana loves Levan
- Levan treats Ginny as a player and, honestly, he is the only one
- Can Levan make it work and adapt so that both he and Mike can stay forever?
- Mike speaking to the press, covering for Levan, and making Ginny listen to his calls is what makes him a good captain
- What do we think about someone else getting a flashback? Would a flashback work for anyone else on Pitch?
- How did we take the father reveal in the flashbacks?
- Mike's mom is a hard pill to swallow
- Did Mike stay in San Diego for his dad?
- Is Mike leaving? Did he start trade rumors?
- "We have two days off in 10 days" is going to be my go-to line when someone starts to complain about something at work they have no control over
- Al takes Ginny out for a night on the town -- to ease her nerves and take her mind off the game
- In the actual game, Ginny listens to Levan and the panel listens to Danielle and Brittany talk about pitcher rules
- What do we think about how the picture plot turned out?
- The fake mole. Cannot believe this was the redeeming Amelia arc.
- So many players showed up!

Now might be the time to read the text plus they are free all over! Kendra is watching Succession and everyone is horrible except for Greg and Tom. They are good boys.
