In this special episode, Andrew gets to sit down with Chris Barsanti, author of "What Would Keanu Do?" to discuss the creation of the book, some of the best Keanu stories, and Chris makes a very compelling case for an unexpected Keanu character sequel that will make some of you VERY happy.

Welcome to The Kurt Locker. Each week, we’ll step through the films of Kurt Russell, starting with his early work in live-action Disney films and moving all the way to present day. Kurt Russell is the kind of actor that can, and has done it all. Whether you know him as a cowboy, the coach who can deliver one hell of a motivational speech, a psychopath race-car driver, a regular guy, an ex-soldier who you thought was dead, or even Santa Claus himself, Kurt has proven himself as a powerhouse actor...

Andrew rejects your premise that this is "like an SNL movie", Whitney talks about her appreciation of celebrities who can lean into the bit, and both of them discuss why Will Ferrell can play the character of the cokehead CEO of Funny of Die, but Zach Galifianakis certainly could not! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Why do we mention NPR, Ilana Glazer, and drag queens on this episode? You'll have to listen! Topics covered also include: why Whitney decided to grow food over this summer, what the most sustainable and cost-effective source of meat would be in the apocalypse, and we learn that Charles doesn't even understand the concept of temperature.

In this episode we go off on a tangent about Mad Max Fury Road, Andrew gets to utter the greatest sentence that perhaps exists on the whole of Wikipedia, a new Pop Quiz Asshole record is set, and we also explain why Forky is potentially the most relatable character Pixar has maybe ever created.

Is it possible that the architectural layout of The Continental is an intentional metaphor for the plot of this film? Maybe! Our very special guest and fellow Keanu Reeves Historian Angelica Jade Bastién joins us to discuss the importance of editing, one key difference that makes old movies better than new movies, and then proceeds to absolutely destroy Erich and Andrew during Pop Quiz, Asshole.

As our guest so eloquently points out: our main problems with Replicas revolve around us thinking that it's a movie rather than an unholy amalgamation. Turns out Replicas is roughly nine great ideas all with their own thoughts, feelings, motivations, and darn good questions. The problem this leaves is: can all nine movies have meaningful resolution in under 2 hours? Special guest Aja Romano returns to help us figure it out! Feel free to support us on Patreon!

One of our most-anticipated episodes AND films just happens to have one of the shortest episode run-times. Very curious, indeed.

Our first episode back after a short hiatus is the one Andrew has long-defended as not being as egregiously bad as our listeners made it out to be. Does he still think so at the end of this episode? You’ll just have to listen to find out about that AND what source of energy would sustain Whitney through the final boss battle of a martial arts film. Feel free to support us on Patreon!

This episode is monumental, for reasons Andrew wastes no time mentioning up top. You have to guess: with a cast this good and the infinitely-funny Judy Greer in the director’s chair, this is basically an instant win, right? Well… kinda… sorta, not really, but… maybe? Join Whitney and Andrew as they discuss how Common and Keanu walked off the set of John Wick Chapter 2 and right into this set and CONTINUE to play adversaries, old lady candies, and learn that they’ve been playing against the void ...

Erich returns for a good one this time. We talk about how Whitney and Erich saw this movie together like some kind of aristocrat, if there’s any secret meaning behind some of the mythological names bandied about, and maybe even throw in an unpaid march plug or two.

On this episode, Whitney and Andrew step through the based-on-real-events story of writer/director Marti Noxon’s struggles with anorexia.

Join us for this mess of a film about… well, we actually don’t know what Eli Roth was trying to say with this non-thrilling thriller, this not scary horror, this non-gory torture film that was certainly tone deaf at the time but feels especially out of touch 4 years after its release. Lindsey Nelsen reluctantly guests and we talk about how the craziest thing our femme fatales did was dip a lollypop into peanut butter while Keanu goes so far against type that we’re just left wondering: why though...

Author Eric Smith joins us on this episode where we get angry over no Academy Awards for stunt doubles or the Deadpool 2 music video, how people who refuse to give things a perfect score are asshats, why every movie would be better with Willem Dafoe, what Avatar contributed to cinema as a whole, and we listen as Whitney conducts at least two TED Talks.

This movie, directed by none other than Keanu himself, has nearly everything you might want out of a martial arts film: beautifully choreographed and memorable fight sequences, a pulpy villain, a hard-boiled detective who simply can’t drop the case that’s haunted her career, a duplicitous police captain, a fight between a master and his student, and a GHOST PUNCH.

Elizabeth Nordenholt joins us to discuss Henry’s Crime, a movie that makes a half-hearted attempt at mirroring a Chekhov play and succeeds (?) to varying degrees depending on how hard you’re looking.

We’re back after a return from illness, or was Whitney possessed by a ghost? We may never know the truth. We’re joined by special guest Lindsey Nelsen to discuss things like: Just how many times has Keanu played Jesus? Why haven’t we actually done anything about global warming since this movie came out? Is competitive math in movies a bad thing? Was Thanos wrong? We also eventually talk about this movie and how it holds up! Feel free to support us on Patreon! We’ll have behind-the-scenes content...
