The Lake House (with Aja Romano)

Journey with Whitney, Aja, and Andrew to The Lake House, a beautiful piece of architecture that, accordingly to our very own Charles Nowlin, is missing a CRITICAL component you'll learn about in Pop Quiz, Asshole. You'll also finally get closure on what Whitney, after years of avoiding it, truly thinks of this film. Aja brings her signature encyclopedic pop culture knowledge to fill in some gaps and make some very cool connections. Andrew is just happy to be here! Feel free to support us on Patr...

A Scanner Darkly

Season 3 is officially here and to kick it off we put on our scramble suits and dive headlong into A Scanner Darkly. We bring in friend of the show Erich to discuss his skincare routine, learn about the role that defined Robert Downey Jr. as an actor for Whitney, and what D.A.R.E. should’ve shown Andrew to stop him from trying drugs.

Thumbsucker

I think we can all agree that while a coming-of-age tale can be timeless and relatable, they’re a dime a dozen. Meanwhile, where are all the movies about dentists who philosophize and offer spiritual counsel to their patients while experiencing tremendous character growth? This movie almost shows us that story, but unfortunately we may never know the full tale of Perry the Dentist. Feel free to support us on Patreon!

Ellie Parker

This week’s “Keanu Reeves movie” is the story of struggling Australian actress in Hollywood. Apparently, what she’s struggling with is having a camera further than 2 inches from her face. Turns out that’s really distracting for everyone involved! Naomi Watts does her best to save this train wreck of film that Roger Ebert somehow liked. Definitely skip this one, but feel free to listen along as we deliver sick burn after sick burn! Feel free to support us on Patreon! We’ll have behind-the-scenes ...

Babes In Toyland

Merry Happy to whatever you celebrate this time of year! In this much-sought-after episode, we cross the streams with Macintosh & Maud to travel back in time to 1986, the year just after our hero’s feature debut. This eldritch horror of a film hit the screen at almost 2.5 hours in length, but the version we get in the civilized world is a sleight 90 minutes due to dropping a few musical numbers. Listen along as we get served up a delightful—and canonical—Pop Quiz Asshole and step through our...

The Matrix Revolutions

All aboard the choo-choo train headed in or out of The Matrix depending on an indeterminate number of factors! We step through the final entry in The Matrix saga—for the time being—and end up agreeing with the critics on the film. Will Evan rank it as his number one film we've watched so far?

The Matrix Reloaded

Enter The Matrix with us once again! Your hosts are all quite a bit more positive than they remember being initially with this film while discussing the merits of a Wachowski-led Batman film, how come there weren't Agent Smiths in dresses, and why some sequels work better than others.

The Gift

Listen closely as Whitney and Andrew set a new precedent for Pop Quiz, Asshole. Was it good or bad? Well, if you had paid more attention to your visions maybe we wouldn’t have to spoil it in the episode overview. Ev powered through this movie despite the horror nature (not his bad) and the handful of jump scares (absolutely hates them), so be sure to give him a round of applause!

The Watcher (with Aja Romano)

Whitney, Ev, and Andrew are joined by Vox Culture Writer and Film Critic Aja Romano (https://twitter.com/ajaromano) to discuss the movie in which Keanu Reeves was contractually obligated to act. We learn that Aja does a pretty badass Keanu impression (stay til the end), Whitney thinks James Spader killed his role (in a bad way), Evan doesn't recommend this film (but ranks it weirdly high), and Andrew was just happy that the episode exists in spite of a myriad of technical issues the team experie...

The Devil's Advocate

In this extremely spicy episode, we talk about how Keanu is caught in a loop that he might never escape from, we learn that Whitney’s family is basically Hollywood royalty, and Evan walks us through his thoughts on The Matrix, which he watched instead of this film.

A Walk in the Clouds

In this episode we bring you some breaking KeaNEWS and go off on many fun and interesting tangents. We eventually also get around to talking about A Walk in the Clouds, which is a delightful film. Evan had surgery and may or may not be a Mnemonic courier now. Andrew deduces that the characters of Paul Sutton was based off of Keanu Reeves himself. Whitney actively hated this movie as a youth, but did watching it this time around change her mind or actively make her hate it more? Download and find...

Johnny Mnemonic

The season 2 premiere of Cool Breeze Over the Mountains Kicks off with a bang! On this episode we announce a new contest, Evan tells us this technology is closer than we thought, Whitney demonstrates how two opposite thoughts can simultaneously be true, and Andrew is a little too interested in how a dolphin might project itself into another person's mind.

Little Buddha

Join your hosts on this spiritual journey to find a middle ground on how we feel about this movie. Evan has a lot of nits to pick when it comes to tractor trailers in movies (and shooting stars), Whitney believes there’s no plot but just a series of events, and Andrew seemed almost pre-determined to like this movie given the subject matter.
