What would you do with the Matrix?
About this episode
The episode explores creative and humorous ideas for reimagining The Matrix.
The 1999 classic The Matrix seemed like a pretty good idea but they really fumbled it at the end. This leads to the obvious question: if you could do whatever you wanted with The Matrix, what would you do? Jamie makes a killing, Eddie simulates a simulation, and Alex goes full Mr Beast, as Judge Paul watches all that he knows and loves dissolve into 1s and 0s around him. At least we aren't torturing anyone. Oh we might be?... Strike that from the record. We could monetise The Matrix through educational speedruns with Matrix U, make the original Matrix better by adding stats, or create a hit new Netflix show The Matrix Games. Alternatively we could be more altruistic with The Matrix by using it for luxury holidays, or use it to solve unexplained mysteries, or for the betterment of humanity by simulating otherwise unethical experiments. Whatever we end up doing with The Matrix, know that there will definitely be no moral dilemmas as a result. Well, probably no ethical problems. OK, maybe one or two...
