What, stop adding endless sequels and rehashes to a famous film franchise? Think of all the money the Hollywood people would miss out on!

The Matrix Resurrections is a great example of this. Talk about a movie that should never have existed…

There is only one Matrix movie.

The original trilogy is all good imo. Just the first one left the story unfinished without the other two, and I really liked the ending of the third one and the development of Agent Smith as a villain

Nope, only one Matrix movie.

Well, at least we can agree Resurrections didn’t need to exist

What about the Animatrix?

Never saw it, but I wasn't counting anything but the main live action movies.

It's always a weird choice when you have a trilogy and then, years later, a random remake of the first one. That's what happened with my siblings (except that's a rare case where the remake was better than the og )

Breaker Breaker starring King Chuck

Watched with Riff Trax commentary on during this odd flick where Norris goes searching for his brother in a hick town in California called "Texas City" where his brother dissappeared mysteriously.  Chuck runs into a corrupt mayor running the town and karate kicks himself to sweet revenge.

This is truely an odd, disturbing experience watching this film.  I think I watched it when I was younger unfortunately.  There's a ragdoll bar where the mayor gets his kicks with a wacko bartendress, black stallion symbolism for Chuck, uncomfortably intimate brotherly love, a "Lenny"-type character who wants to tend the horses rather than rabbits.  Most the riffs revolve around banjo music and the fact that this town exists in California, but it acts like its set in Hazzard County and Boss Hog runs the place.  This mayor/judge also adopts stereotypical Hollywood revivalist stances as well to a creepy degree.  Of course he's a hypocrite.

Don't watch without Riff Trax...
