Because Club MacStories now encompasses more than just newsletters, we’ve created guide to the past week’s happenings along with a look at what’s coming up next:

AV Club Town Hall, The Matrix Movies

AV Club is a monthly event held in the Club MacStories+ Discord community. Club members vote on a movie, TV show, videogame, book, or music to enjoy as a group. It’s like a book club, but for all kinds of media.

This month, we rewatched the original Matrix movie trilogy and watched The Matrix Resurrections, which was released late last year. Then, on Wednesday, we held a live audio AV Club Town Hall on Discord hosted by Federico, John, and Alex, who were joined by two Club members to discuss the films and take questions from members who listened live.

If you’re a Club MacStories+ or Club Premier and missed the lively discussion, it’s available as a Club-only podcast that you can enjoy on the Club website or subscribe to from your the Club Podcasts page.
