Episode #43 - Should The Matrix be rebooted, Ashley Esqueda CNET, Rucka, Mikey, Jet Pack, Gay Moments, Altruism

Warner Brothers recently announced that they were rebooting "The Matrix." With so many movies constantly being rebooted, and most of them sucking the LD, it leads us to the debate this week: SHOULD MOVIES BE REBOOTED? Specifically, The Matrix? We're joined by the lovely and talented Senior Editor from CNET, Ashley Esqueda to debate, as I learn during this episode that the Wachowski brothers are now sisters! Talk about a reboot. Were the Matrix movies overrated? Rucka seems to think so. I'm biased because I saw the original about 6 times in theaters. Maybe more. It was the 90s and people didn't have anything to do without the Internet. Here's Ashley on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AshleyEsqueda We also received some kickass fan art from Zac J Hemingway. Zac wins bonus episode Madbux for this awesome piece.

The audience chose democratically between 'yes' and 'definitely.' Will he remain one though, or will Rucka step up to the plate and become a boi who fucs? Only time will tell. Here's the video Ashley covered of our friend Mischa flying a jet pack: https://www.cnet.com/videos/amateurs-are-flying-real-life-jetpacks-now-jetpack-aviation/ Finally we round out the episode with a "gay moment" or two, plus we learn that chicks want to bone guys who are altruistic. The fastest path to a woman's heart is through a sandwich given to a homeless man. Rucka thinks it's not a good study unless you give homeless people houses. What do you think? Weigh in below!
