James King is a writer, film critic and broadcaster who joins me to talk about his new book Be More Keanu. What might look like a love letter to Keanu Reeves is actually a self-help manual in disguise - instead of ancient scripts and proverbs the Tao of Keanu is told via the actor's film choices, characters and actions both on and off-screen.

In this conversation James and I discuss:

• Why there's a lot to be learned from Keanu Reeves.
• Why his film choices have often told a bigger story about Keanu's understanding of the world.
• Why Keanu's brand of kindness is one we should all aspire to.
• What it takes to be a film critic and whether it actually stops you enjoying films.
• What it's like interviewing A-list film stars and why Keanu has stood out from the crowd.
• The value in making mistakes, and much more.

Also in this conversation the Sex and the City 2 and Entourage reviews by Mark Kermode, which are worth a watch.
