Waco Movie Club: The Matrix
Waco Movie Club Presents: The Matrix—A Deep Dive into Reality (Or Is It?)
May 22 | 7:30 PM | Dichotomy Coffee & Spirits
Whoa. Have you ever felt like something just...isn’t right? Like the world isn’t exactly what it seems? Maybe you’ve questioned reality after one too many late-night Google rabbit holes. Well, Neo, it’s time to choose: the red pill or the blue pill?
Join the Waco Movie Club as we plug into The Matrix for a mind-bending discussion about what it really means to wake up. We’ll be breaking down Neo’s journey as the Chosen One, diving into the classic Hero’s Journey, and tackling the ultimate question—are we all just shadows on the wall of Plato’s Allegory of the Cave? (Don’t worry, no philosophy degree required!)
Expect deep thoughts, laughs, and maybe even a few existential crises—all fueled by excellent coffee and cocktails at Dichotomy Coffee & Spirits.

📅 May 22, 7:30 PM
