The Matrix was one of the most influential movies ever to hit the sci-fi and action genres. Watching Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and the gang do crazy bullet time martial arts just completely changed the game forever. But even though the Keanu Reeves-led Wachowski project was revolutionary, it still raised a lot of questions. Like what’s up with the Agents not using their powers until we know about them? Why didn’t they actually use any of their tracking tactics? Why are the machines using humans as batteries? What’s up with all the LEATHER?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to The Matrix! It’s super easy, barely an inconvenience!

"Leather is TIGHT!"
"Yeah, that's part of the problem…"
Best use of the catch phrase so far. 😂
Nope. Best use goes to the pitch meeting for The Nun. Nuns are tight.
@@purplecrayon7281 lmao
I also like
"Money is tight!"
"Oh are you having money problems?"
"Oh Pitch meetings are tight!"
"Baby junks are tigh..."
*DON'T*
“He used to eat at a restaurant...that’s relatable...” Everyone living in 2020
Wait.... people used to go outside. That's untrue, nobody could ever go outside without a mask and gloves. How can I relate to a character who doesn't wear a mask and gloves and goes outside.
Everyone used to go outside........ or did they?
Nice
Ryan George IS actually a time traveler. That explains everything.
Which is why breaking things down for him is super easy, barely an inconvenience.
@@anshumandcjoshi6424 Time travel is tight!
"He's the male lead and she's the female lead."
"That is pretty romantic, actually."
Thus Disney's approach in Rise of Skywalker.
Shuffle Them Truffles Babey that’s not what they were going for though.
@@shufflethemtrufflesbabey you actually think rey and kylo were friend kissing? Or even that they're friends?
@@kin-3877 I think that one saved the others life and it was a very tense and intimate moment. I think the people that are upset about this likely haven't kissed many people, hence why they're letting an interesting and intimate moment ruin a movie for them
@@shufflethemtrufflesbabey Wow, you have messed up friendships if you open mouth kiss all your friends.
@@shufflethemtrufflesbabey yeah no. He tortured, captured and almost killed her multiple times. Not to mention that there was literally zero set up for this nonsensical romantic outburst. People who are trying to murder each other dont just kiss. This is something movies try to make normal
"Lets compromise and do my thing"... That is how to negotiate. 🏆
I guess I don’t really have a say in this do I?
Ah yes, the negotiator
Aah hmmm yes
That sounds like my wife...
..nah just kiddin. Could you imagine if I was really like that?
😂😂😂😂😂
I would totally watch The Cow Matrix. With Moofius.
A... Cowtrix if you will.
Finding Nemoo
Little Hayabusa mootrix
@@DormDwellorCross more like a... Mootrix
Damn I laughed way too hard at Moofius.
I like that he included the cut concept of people being used as CPU's instead of batteries.
Including factual behind-the-scenes stuff in these pitch meetings is *TIGHT*
Yeah, I didn't know that and it actually makes a lot more sense than the battery concept.
Yeah! That blew my mind. It makes so much more sense.
Not as tight as the leather
@@birdmcturd1626 that's ..... that's part of the problem
I didn’t know that fact either...and it really does make SO MUCH MORE sense.
Supposedly, the reason Will Smith turned down the role of Neo was because the Wachowskis’ actual pitch to him sounded even more ridiculous than this.
Evil Sharkey thank God.
He chose WIld WIld West instead lol
@@iankelly7722
"Whoops."
"Whoopise."
Actually, he said he had no problems with the script. Just the filmmaking process confused him.
@@iankelly7722 Woopsie. Fair enough. He must have gotten drunk again. Everyone makes mistakes. lol
This ruined The Matrix for me lol
"Why would you make a dream network for your batteries?"
To keep them under control... but why would you need to keep them under control if they're all asleep anyway? And if Machine City is so advanced, why not come up with another power source? LOL
Nah mate, they explain that. Basically it's they say "without the mind, the body dies". Which is why people can die in the matrix and also why people need to be in the matrix in the first place. Coma patients barely have any bodily activity. The bodies of people who are in the Matrix are pretty dang active. They show that in that movie too. Sometimes these pitch meetings bend the truth a little bit to create a good laugh, which is definitely fair enough.
It's complicated, but they have all that free energy from their batteries so they use it and some to feed their batteries.
Coz they can.

“He used to eat at a restaurant...that’s relatable...”
Really good noodles.
LOL
Hey, I used to eat at restaurants too!!! Awesome...
I mean..
Sukhster Tats dude I read that at the same time that he said that wth that was weird
"Its kinda like the internet", "Yeah, no one's ever really gonna use that." lmao.
LOL
Where do I fax this comment to? Or is it by telegram? 101011100110?
That part was a bit weak, internet usage was already very popular/common by the time the Matrix movie was made, nobody would've suggested it wasn't going to keep getting bigger.
The website was even a large part of their viral marketing - 'What is the Matrix'.
I LOVE how Ryan acknowledged that the original pitch had the humans as a neural network and the producer changed it but batteries wouldn't make sense
"That is entirely Trinity's fault"
"Yes it is!"
It was then that I stopped the video to comment and thumbs up...
And it was then when I read this comment.
lol 😂
Sanne De Ridder And it was then that I read your comment

“They get betrayed by this little Italian Judas.” 🤣
I think that's what his name is in the credits.

As a 5”8 Italian this offends me lol
Ironically the most talented actor in the whole series, he made everyone look bad so he had to die lol
@@user-lj2cb2pj8j I guess. I kinda like the guy that says "mmmisssstuurrrr Anderson"
I wish I had this much fun talking to myself!
How do you not? Actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience.
I study for tests by talking to myself
Ikr. I always end up getting into an argument.
I used to talk to myself like this all the time until we got into an argument. Now we don’t talk at all. Sniff* sometimes I can still hear him.
Talking to yourself is okay but if you do it while you see yourself talking in front of you without a mirror you may want to get some help.
He's Keanu Reeves. That's all the personality we need.
Totally agree. Keanu is like a real life movie hero. Plus Speed is still my favorite movie and I wouldn't be able to watch a pitch meeting on it because I love it so much.🙂
Sort of wish they had cast Johnny Lee Miller. Then HACKERS would be a prequel
What? His acting is terrible, seems not so smart either. Seth Macfarlane drilled him pretty good in Family Guy once. Pretty spot on from what I've seen. Plus he's like reddit jesus... but that site likes parks and recreation and the office like it's maple syrup fallen off janet garcia's ass. Face it, those shows are average, at best. Have you see Matrix resurrection? About has bland as keanu'S personality imo.
@@rezneba101 Did you have a stroke in the middle of that paragraph?
@@rezneba101 He's maybe bland and lacks expression, but something about him is addictive and charismatic so you can't look away.
My guy has never failed to ruin every movie I’ve ever seen.
"Hey Neo, I need to talk to you.
I need to tell you something.
There's there's something I need to tell you,
let's talk, let's talk for a little bit
I need to tell you something."
:-D
Poetry at its absolute finest
You thought of a Cow Matrix and didn't call it a "Mootrix?"
*For Shame.*
What a missed opportunity 😄😄
What is the problem with you guys? Forgot your history so soon? Cow Matrix was a viral video that became famous because it parodied the Matrix movie. George is Ok to not say mootrix, this is not a missed opportunity.
whoopse
Well, "The Meatrix" had Moopheus.
Silly cow trix are for kids
The matrix is like magic, I was distracted by all the fun that I missed all the flaws.
all films are essentially that
As much as I love the Pitch meetings I can't deny that watching pitch meetings for movies I love is not a good idea!
But it's super easy.
Barely an inconvenience
Whoops!
@@jimkirk2527 whoopsie
Yeah. This one hurt.
The sad thing is that the battery / computing power talk actually went like that. In the original script humans did computational things for the machines
The comment I was looking for.
No it didn't that's a myth. The very first draft in 1996 had it as batteries too. It was always batteries. Neil gaiman the writer suggested once that a neural network would make sense and for some reason this became lore.
@@SNoone89 Well, good ol' Neil is a brilliant story teller. Thanks for the enlightenment.
@@SNoone89 it's because it's something you just WANT To be true SO MUCH!
it would have made sense and resolve the biggest plot hole in the first movie, also it lets smart people feel good about themselves when watching an action movie...and really isn't that what the matrix is all about?
@@tuseroni6085 Now that you mention it, that genuinely is what the Matrix is all about.
I love the face he makes when he says "I dont know!" 🤣
and the cadence of his voice too.

Mind blown.

I've seen dozens of this pitch meetings, and "Leather is TIGHT!" is my favorite line! Thanks for the laughs!
Better have that pitch meeting before the Y2K bug shuts down the computers.
What if the Y2K bug shuts down the matrix and we all die?
Man, Y2K was pretty fun. I remember being like well in about 10 seconds I might have to fight rogue biker gangs for resources with my family.
@@TotusTuusMaria1984 Fighting rogue biker gangs is tight!
Sorry, I had to...
@@vontosmagicmurderbag2611 Since it is the matrix wouldn't it be more like Y3K?
“Cow matrix!”
i think an elephant matrix would be more efficient. or a whale matrix
Aspen Tree matrix.
There is no cow matrix. There is no cow matrix. There is no cow matrix. There is no cow matrix. There is no cow matrix. There is no cow matrix. There is no cow matrix. There is no cow matrix.

I think most of the commenters don't know or forgotten about the COW MATRIX. it was a viral video of cow fighting kung-fu and matrix style action. Pretty hilarious. Go search for it.
A million times more efficient would be just to build a power plant, fueled by gas, coal, or nuclear power.
'What made morpheus think that neo was the one?'
Because he's the protagonist...
Fair enough!
Didn't the oracle SPECIFICALLY tell Morpheus that Neo was the One????
Why is he not the chosen one?
@@Magidex The Oracle told Morpheus he would find the one. Didn't tell him it was Neo specifically.
Watching this during CoVid 19 “He used to eat at a restaurant. That’s relatable.” 😭😭😭
I mean, the "used to" part is relatable...
Also that goo they have him after waking up? That's everyone in quarantine trying to make sour dough :D
I was laughing at the plot holes in the beginning, then I realized, the machines' plan was to let Neo escape the matrix, that's why they didn't interfere.
Which you only learn in the sequels which means they're not useless
@@kpopgrrl they're not, they're just badly done but the premise is really good.
You could also argue that the agents, basically pawns, were being intentionally cautious at first so as to not cause people in the Matrix to start questioning what was going on with reality. As Neo became more of a threat, their overlords let them be more reckless.
You could also argue any other undetermined variable like agent response times or counter hacking interference or as they became more familiar with the intruders in the matrix they could find them easier or that some subsystem didn't recognize the significance of the meeting place or you know other hocus
Mind blown
The way he says "Super easy; barely an inconvenience" is Tight!
You said the thing! :-D
"He used to eat at a restaurant - that's relatable." That's right. I used to eat at that place next to my work, however it closed down so I don't eat there anymore. Neo is soooo me.
Why are they all wearing leather?
Because they’re secretly in the cow matrix.
This is not the Cow Matrix we were looking for 😨
Cleverrrrrrrrrr
Hahahahahaha
Cows actually live in a matrix, first they produce milk, but later they produce meat and leather.
I love the number of jokes he makes about the two of them having the same face!
I don't know what you're talking about. They look nothing alike! The writer has glasses!
What do you mean
Having the same face is TIGHT!
It's a simulation. There were no jokes...
They do? Neat!

Maintaining continuity is TIGHT.
@@chiderachukwuneta7127 How did you not get the plot? Actually it's super easy, barely an inconvenience...
"he used to eat at a restaurant, that's relatable."
Then, it was a joke. Now it is relatable
"he _used_ to eat at a restaurant, that's relatable".
I remember when we all used to eat at restaurants too.
I haven't all I ever get is takeout
I bet it tasted like chicken, Neo.
You haven't done _Sin City_ yet. I feel like you should do _Sin City_ at some point. _Sin City_ would be a great Pitch Meeting. _Sin City_ .
*_Sin City_* .
Which movie??
Isn't that the place with the killer cyclops?
Grimbeard I totally agree. That would be tight!
Sin City is tight.
Grimbeard Cincinnati?
They decide that Neo is the one because his name is an anagram of “One”......
And the Oracle told him he'd find the one.
Wait wait wait what
Wow wow wow wow wow....wow
Then why not Brian Eno?
but his real name is tom which is an anagram of omt oh my tom :D
0:10 probably the most accurate in world explanation so far
“Leather is tight.” “That’s part of the problem!” LOL 😂

"Don't you think taking our original idea of turning this book into a two-parter by further turning it into a three-parter will damage its integrity?"
"Probably!"
"Whoops!"
"Whoopsie!"
"In such a way that movies are gonna try to imitate for a full decade "!💯😂😂😂
Games too lol
Yeah.
So many holes. You're opening my mind. I'm beginning to believe. That suspension of disbelief makes life more enjoyable.
"Let's just compromise and do my thing."
"Leather is tight"
"That's...part of the problem"
Lmao.
Genius one liner
I love how this one includes the very real battery thing that the writers were told to put in instead of the more sensical neural network
Exactly!
I don't think that ever happened, it does make more sense than the battery idea though
3:03 They actually explain that in the movie. Without keeping the mind active, the bodies just withers and dies. That is why the Matrix was created.
I guess. But even if a "human battery" works, doesn't the matrix need like a ridiculous amount of energy?
It would still make more sense to create a matrix for cows and put them into a paradise like virtual world where they won't care.
They did explain that, but you know movie reasoning
Now, after 6 years as a care-taker for my mother, house bound pre pandemic, pandemic, and post pandemic, my vitamin deficiencies are so ridiculously out of hand, I actually laughed at the Vitamin D numbers they were so unreal.
Didn't make me think of the Matrix tho, I was more questioning the possibility of extended space travel for humans
Until this pitch meeting
@@leonpaelinck yeah probably
I like how the article at the end that said “ The matrix sequels ruined the franchise “ but it’s not a franchise unless it has sequels.
My thoughts exactly. Doesn't make any sense.
@@rooty That's also why I don't think a sequel could ever ruin the first one same with remakes, the remake can't ruin the original because it still exists.
This is why I came to the comments, a real life paradox
One time I saw three dudes beating up an old man so I jumped in, there was no way he could take the four of us.
Beating up old men is TIGHT
Yeah it's super easy barely an inconvenience
Ok I must admit, that made me laugh.

“Oh no, a main character dies? How are we gonna bring him back?”
“Super easy, barely an inconvenience. In fact we’re gonna have all the main characters die and come back super easy all the time.”
Yesss
"Leather is TIGHT!"
"YEA that's part of the problem."
God the sarcasm is AMAZING!
Man! The first matrix was a cultural experience
The marketing was honestly brilliant. 'What Is The Matrix' kept it wrapped in mystery... unless one was already familiar with the comics (which most were not).
"Leather is tight!"
"Yeah that's kinda the problem"
That line was magnificent. Great job!
Pitch meeting: "Face-off" with John Travolta and Nick Cage!
Before I found your show, I always thought it would be funny to hear that pitch meeting.
I agree
You need a writer and a producer using LSD. Since Ryan is both of them, that pitch meeting could be lethal.
I'll be extremely disappointing if that pitch meeting doesn't involve this exchange:
Screenwriter: Yeah, so then we're gonna have a plastic surgeon cut his face off.
Producer: His face... *hand motion around face*.... off?
Screenwriter: Yeah, his face *hand motion around face* - OFF.
Producer: His face *hand motion around face* off.
@@Razzy1312 10000000% this needs to be a thing.
Jon Woo pitch meetings would be like michael bay but with "GUNFIGHT" instead of "EXPLOSION".
"Leather is tight". That made me laugh harder than ever, while watching a pitch meeting. 😂
"Very strange priorities"
I was mad at that part too.
I think if I request enough times it'll probably eventually come. Please do a PM for the Back to the Future movies. Pretty please with a "super easy, barely an inconvenience" on top.
Producer: So you have a time travel trilogy for me?
Screenwriter: Yes sir, I do...
Yadda yadda yadda
Producer: Isn't it gonna be hard to stretch that plot over 3 films?
Screenwriter: Actually, it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience. I was thinking we'd remake the same movie 3 times and just add in little differences to keep it fresh, you know?
Producer: I've got to be honest, I can't see that working

"I used to eat there" is not for character development, it's to remind the audience that the matrix is the real world.
Producer: "And how do they feed the humans?"
Writer: "Oh they have this weird synthetic stuff they eat outside the Matrix."
Producer: "So how do they get the electricity to make that stuff?"
Writer: "From the human batteries."
Producer "Wouldn't that take more power than it makes?"
Writer: "I don't know! I'm a screen-writer not a scientist."
Producer: "That sounds good to me!"
Its (also) an ironic punishment for the atrocities mankind committed against the machine
It should be the other way around. Producer was the one that wanted the battery thing.
Actually they liquefy the dead to feed the living. It's explained by Morpheus when he's talking to Neo about the Matrix.
@@Muninnfeathers ugh like dead animals or dead people??? 😳
Yeah, i liked the movie but their explanations were horrible. They could have Just said i don't know why they're doing it. They are genocidal computers, maybe they're insane. Maybe they have some plan.

Thumbs up for 2:35 that's actually a true story that happened when the writers presented their movie for those that didn't know. WB told them to change it into batteries cause they didn't think people would understand the concept.
To be honest, nobody except for a few people (like Jeff Bezos) saw the internet blowing up back in 1998.
