    Starts great gets grating
    I’ve adored Keanu since the 80s. I fell off tracking his career years ago but recently found the 50mph podcast about Speed. My old Keanu love was unleashed. I found this podcast that chronicles every Keanu movie. I've only listened to episodes for movies I've watched. The earlier episodes with the original 3 hosts were great. Once one of guys disappeared it gets rough. Whitney rambles on and on about things other than the movie, most of which is annoying and not insightful. Also, i was thrilled to see they covered "Rush Rush" until i realized they had no clue what the video was based on. i was screaming at how stupid they sounded. its a rough listen the deeper you go

    THE place to get your Keanu fix!
    I love this pod. I stepped into it not even being what you would define as a “huge” Keanu Reeves fan. I have only grown more appreciative of this great actor. Each episode has just the right mixture of analysis and fun. Who doesn’t love Charles Nolan and Pop Quiz A**hole? The void sounds like a wonderful place to hang out. Seriously, check this pod out. A great time and time saver. You love to hear it!

    This is one of the best podcasts of all time
    I’ve been a huge Keanu Reeves fan since The Matrix but for some dumb reason *the algorithm* let me down and I only recently discovered this podcast. I don’t know how I can constantly get influenced to buy the dumbest crap on the internet but I’m like five years late to finding this, but I’m glad I finally did. Maybe I’ll catch up before John Wick 4 comes out and I can listen to a live show. If you love Keanu, you need this podcast in your life.

    Bingeworthy good fun
    A must listen to podcast for any Keanu fan. The hosts have a great sense of humor and insight and a refreshing ability to be critical when necessary. It’s a fun way to listen to fresh perspectives on some old favorites or even commiserate on some ‘how on earth did this get made’ gems.

    Great podcast
    Great and enjoyable podcast that highlights the KCU (Keanu cinematic universe, naturally.) I love all the point of views and how they go into detail.

    Please match the volume of the other hosts
    Currently listening to the Dracula episode and so far I like it but why is the female host yelling? The volume of her voice is ruining the episode for me. She is giving great information but we can hear you girl.

    Thank you!
    I just discovered this podcast after listening to most everything else out there regarding Keanu. I’ve been in love with him since I was 13 after watching Speed in 1994. He’s the only celebrity crush I’ve ever had and it has lasted 26 years so far. There is just something about him that is so captivating and I could never shake it. I too have actually seen every movie he’s ever done and while I don’t like them all I always appreciate his performances. It’s very interesting to hear other peoples very in-depth opinions on his films so thank you for doing this!

    Start at the start
    Absolutely delightful journey through the enormous and varied career of Keanu Reeves. Listen from the beginning. For some it will be a trip down memory lane... for others it will be an intro to overlooked winners like Man of Tai Chi, along with brutally honest and usually hilarious critiques of the losers, of which there are a handful (Knock Knock is a particularly good episode). And there’s trivia! Cool Breeze pod: it's a good time.

    Pleasantly surprised
    To be honest, I avoided this podcast like the plague due to an overwhelming gushing by the media to make Keanu some sort of personal savior. I resisted all of the shameless plugs that popped up on my twitter feed and Facebook, meeting them with a fierce passive aggressive scrolling. Eventually and separately, I stumbled upon the fact that Keanu starred in a Paula Abdul music video in 1991 (Rush, Rush). Feeling shocked at this discovery and being called out on my ignorance, I was immediately intrigued and knew that I needed to, once again, succumb to Andrew’s wisdom in all-things-film. In the first episode, I expected gushing. What I found was anything but. Each host (especially Whitney) delivers a raw, honest, hilarious reaction and approach to Keanu’s career as I imagine anyone would agree, it took a bit of time for the man to become the sensation he is today. Witty commentary will now, instead, fill each quiet “in between” moment as I play this podcast throughout my day. The best part? There is no need to rewatch any (less desired) Keanu movie as their film summation and story telling far exceeds expectations. Highly recommend. In fact, if you haven’t listened to them yet, you’re missing out. You may even find yourself pining to rewatch Keanu’s less popular films just to get the full effect of this podcast’s clever insights and critiques.

    Excellent Keanu Content
    Do you like Keanu? Do you enjoy listening to clever folks talk about Keanu movies? Well then have I got the podcast for you! A really fun listen, feels like your sitting around with friends. Also, really appreciate their honesty when a movie isn’t up to snuff in all our opinions & even more so when I disagree. I can’t believe they’re nearing the end of Keanu’s filmography - hoping he’s back on a film set soon for more episodes. ps I miss Evan

    Excellent
    Just a gem of a podcast.
  • darkdriving
    In a word: breathtaking
    Yet another biased review of this podcast, but honestly if you're a fan of Keanu Reeves you'll probably love what we cook up each week. We're not here to praise all of the movies he's been a part of, nor do we dwell too much on the weaker performances. Rather, we're trying to learn a little bit more about the person behind these roles, what drives him. You'd be hard pressed to find another A-List actor with as much variety and risk-taking in their catalog, and that's reason enough to see this through!

    A Highlight Of My Week
    When the show was first announced, I had many questions. First and foremost: why? But I'll listen to anything Whitney Nelsen does so here I am. And honestly? I've been sleeping on Keanu for FAR too long. Not every movie is great but every episode is a delight and Pop Quiz A$$hole is one of the best parts of my week. Listen to this show! You'll learn new things about Keanu Reeves AND probably find a greater respect for his films... Most of them, at least.

    Came for Keanu, Stayed for the Cohosts
    I have a true love for Keanu Reeves, but I think I may have to switch paths and devote the rest of my life to spreading the gospel of this funny and wonderful podcast.

    A Good Time, I felt like I was in the room with my friends.
    This is my first time listening and I must say that I really enjoy this Podcast! The hosts Andrew, Whitney, and Evan are all very engaging and funny in their own ways. I was captivated by how high quality the audio is. You can tell they are all truly interested and passionate about Keanu Reeves and the film industry as a whole. As a fan of Keanu I'm glad that they also touched on not only the film side, but the video game side as well seeing as I am a huge gamer and there is a game about my favorite characters (and Fortnite Skins) John Wick coming out. I found myself laughing out loud along with the hosts and almost felt like I was a fly on the wall just listening in on a great conversation. I loved the fact that they gave me a stroll through memory lane and discussed some of the nostalgic shows of my time. Much Ado About Nothing is one of my favorite novels from Shakespeare and I couldn't help but be impressed with the depth that they went into during the episode. I appreciate their honest and thoughtful evaluation of Keanu over the years and in the film. The pop quiz game in the middle of the show gives another creative edge to the Podcast that I really like. It also added an element of suspense to it. Overall an excellent podcast that provided me with some much needed insight and laughs.

    I'm biased, but this podcast is superlative.
    As one of the co-hosts of this show, my opinion could not be any less trustworthy. HOWEVER, I think this podcast is funny and insightful. I think that the hosts have expertly tapped into the pop-culture zeitgeist of the Keanuscance. AND I think that the three hosts have such different perspectives when it comes to films they like and how they watch/critique them, that you get a great variety of opinions to help you figure out if you should watch the movies yourself! LISTEN TO IT. IT IS VERY GOOD.

    this podcast is a trendsetter
    as i write a review on this the seventh of june in the year of our lord twenty nineteen anno domini, we are in the midst of the keanussance. you can’t scroll down two inches on your ding dang twitter feed without some millennial talking about “daddy” keanu this and “raw me” keanu that. what if i told you this podcast, cool breeze over the mountains, was the reason for this reeves revival? now, it might have been his resurgence as an action star in critically acclaimed films such as john wick or his comedic turn in the netflix original always be my maybe, but i choose to believe that whitney, evan and andrew are wholly responsible for this man’s career. pay them your respects and give this show a listen. the dead dog in john wick demands it.

    Best Keanu Reeves Podcast Out There
    This pod is great. Can’t wait for the two hour breakdown of Little Buddha.

    Come for Keanu, Stay for Good Criticism
    I came to this show for the thrill of working through the oeuvre of Keanu, but as the show goes along, I’ve found it an amazing doubt of thoughtful, smart film criticism. This group gets how to analyze film and think critically about movies that may have gone overlooked. And, AND, they’re also flipping hilarious. It’s just such a good show and I can’t wait to see what they come up with as they work through these movies.

    Love it
