The early winter months at the movie theater have inspired Billy and Drew of Do You Like Apples to look back on one of the more interesting and awesome movie years, 1999! Lana and Lily Wachowski's,The Matrix, and David Cronenberg's, eXistenz, capture the temperament and anxiety that came at the turn of the century unlike any pairing from this year. Both explore the existential crisis that a lot of the world was feeling at this time. Technological advancement brought the culture to a point that had many of us examining what it means to be human in a world where technology is advancing so quickly. Creating two movies that simultaneously are representative of the time and timeless. And that timelessness quality has allowed these stories to take on even more meaning as the years have gone on. Even if you don't want to go into that head space, Drew and Billy give the props these movies deserve from an entertainment standpoint. The Matrix showing action in a way cinema had not seen and eXistenz being a brilliant set piece for where gaming was going. Thank you so much for listening in and join us for the month of February as we look back on 1999. In future weeks we will be having a Comedy Edition, a Filmmaker Debut Edition, and maybe even a 1999 draft.
