Cinema Royale: Talking ‘The Matrix Resurrections’, ‘Licorice Pizza’, Denzel Over Will?

On the latest episode of Cinema Royale, Tim Gordon of TheFilmGordon.com goes down the rabbit hole with us for, what else, The Matrix Resurrections! Is Neo still THE ONE? Does Bullet Time still matter? Was this sequel worth the wait or is it all just another nostalgia trap?

Plus, you knew we couldn’t go without talking about Paul Thomas Anderson’s excellent coming-of-age film Licorice Pizza! Is this the return to form Travis has been hoping for from PTA?

And before we can get off the air, a discussion breaks out about Denzel Washington and how he’s been a constant thorn in Will Smith’s side during Oscars season. Could it happen again with The Tragedy of Macbeth over King Richard?
