JUPITER ASCENDING (2015) | The Wachowskis, Part VII

<p>In the penultimate episode of our series covering the filmography of The Wachowskis, we discuss their last theatrical feature (to date).</p> <p>In JUPITER ASCENDING, Warner Bros. had hoped to see The Wachowskis create a new franchise to rival THE MATRIX series.</p> <p>What they got instead was the weirdest film of the filmmakers' careers and their biggest box office failure yet.</p> <p>But is JUPITER ASCENDING's reputation as a flop deserved? In this episode, we'll trace the film's creation and dive into a discussion on what we think of the Wachowskis' most ambitious film yet, one that would lead them away from feature filming for the following six years.</p> <p>BUY OUR MERCH: <a href='http://cinemashock.threadless.com/'>http://cinemashock.threadless.com</a></p> <p>Coming Up:</p> <ul><li> <p><a href='https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/the-matrix-resurrections'>THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS</a> (2021)</p> </li> </ul> <p>Up next: Long Live the New Flesh: The Body Horror of David Cronenberg</p> <p>Theme Song: "There's Still a Little Bit of Time, If We Hurry and I Mean Hurry" by <a href='https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwj8487dns3rAhXut1kKHWjpBtIQFjAAegQIBRAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fslasherfilmfestivalstrategy.bandcamp.com%2F&usg=AOvVaw3qXZCJdUiLORfY6MbQrpo5'>Slasher Film Festival Strategy</a>.</p> <p>This episode was written, produced and edited by Gary Horne, Justin Bishop, & Todd Davis.</p> <p>Visit our website for episode archives, blogs and more: <a href='http://cinemashock.net/'>http://cinemashock.net</a></p> <p>Follow us:</p> <p><a href='http://twitter.com/cinema_shock'>twitter.com/cinema_shock</a></p> <p><a href='http://facebook.com/cinemashocknet'>facebook.com/cinemashocknet</a></p> <p><a href='http://instagram.com/cinema_shock'>instagram.com/cinema_shock</a></p>
