213. Bullet Time
This episode covers a number of movies, including some behind-the-scenes on how the most famous scene of The Matrix was accomplished. In addition there’s exciting news about accessing a thermal source that could have a profound positive impact on energy consumption and climate change: a new way to access geothermal power. There are warm moments about our children’s doings, and we hear about a very inflammatory way to inflate a tire. But…well, really, the majority of the episode is about movies we’ve been watching and enjoying. Have a listen and let us know what you think!
