Matrix: What if we are all living in a simulation and don't know it? What does this mean for the human existence and how we perceive it?

Animatrix: What if we get so smart we build machines that are so advanced that we can discriminate against them? What happens when humans create life and expect that life to remain servile?

The Matrix Reloaded: What if we fleshed out this world to show multiple societies co-existing, although not entirely peacefully? What if we throw a bunch of rehashed dialog from other science fiction films? What if we change the style to be slicker? Can we pull it off if we inject just enough substance to make people want to watch a third movie?

The Matrix Revolutions: Take the wheel, I have no idea how to end things but there should be some massive fight scenes. Ka-CHING, baby.

Was it me or in one of the sequels was there some monologue about simulations that seemed to be a philosophical take on garbage collection in a VM?
Yes, I'm pretty sure that was in the second one. Half of that movie was brilliant and cerebral. Half of it was, well...not.
Do you remember which scene it was shown in?
Going entirely off of memory I would guess it was the discussion between Neo and the Architect, where the Architect describes Neo as an 'anomaly' that is expected.
