May 28, 2019 Catching Up On Cinema: Theatrical Edition - John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
*WARNING!* Total spoilers for John Wick 3! *WARNING!*
In a special Theatrical Edition of Catching Up On Cinema, Kyle and Trevor sit down to review the Keanu Reeves action flick, John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)!
The centerpiece of Catching Up On Keanu month, the film is a wholly satisfying action extravaganza packed to the gills with extraordinary choreography, violence, and who's who of notables from the stunt world.
Books, guns, knives, horses!?
Tiger Chen fighting with and killed by his good friend Keanu!
Crotches being shot and bitten with alarming frequency!
Keanu getting thrown through all of the glass in New York city!

May 21, 2019 Episode 36 - Man of Tai Chi (2013)
For the third installment in our "Catching Up On Keanu" month, Trevor has Kyle sit down to watch the only film ever directed by Keanu Reeves, Man of Tai Chi (2013)!
Starring longtime collaborator and friend of Keanu's, Tiger Chen, the film is a quaint, but technically sound action film that was seemingly built from the ground up to be a showcase of the at the time largely unknown Chen's martial arts ability.
Featuring token appearance by several noteworthy martial arts actors, including Iko Uwais and Silvio Simac, the movie is a love letter to the genre that fails to break any new ground, but proudly justifies it's existence with the obvious signs of care and and commitment put forth by the lead actors and director.
Tiger Chen, failing to emote but wowing with his tai chi prowess!
Keanu Reeves, lookin' kind of stiff and making "ghost face" into the camera at random!
Iko Uwais, in his least satisfying role this side of The Force Awakens!

May 14, 2019 Episode 35 - Chain Reaction (1996)
In this 2nd installment in our "Catching Up On Keanu" month, Kyle selects the 1996 action-thriller, Chain Reaction (1996)!
Directed by prolific action director Andrew Davis, the film is a rather conventional thriller in the tradition of films such as The Fugitive (which was also directed by Davis) and The Net.
Starring Keanu Reeves as a physicist/machinist/musician, Rachel Weisz as his main squeeze, and Morgan Freeman as the friendliest morally dubious bad guy(?) in cinema history, the movie is largely average, but very nostalgic for those us who were young during this particular era in action movie history.
A boring plot bookended by 2 giant explosions!
Morgan Freeman, making cigars look sexy!
Baby Rachel Weisz as the most delightful drunk in cinema history!
Brian Cox, flaunting his impeccable Southern accent and giving Steven Seagal a run for his money in the "Worst Run in Cinema History" competition!
And a welcome cameo from a very young and spindly Michael Shannon as a flower delivery man!

May 07, 2019 Episode 34 - Freaked (1993)
In anticipation of the theatrical release of John Wick Chapter 3 - Parabellum, we've declared May 2019 to be "Catching Up On Keanu" month!
Each week in May, Kyle and Trevor will take turns selecting a Keanu Reeves film that they'd like to review for the show.
In this first episode of "Catching Up On Keanu" month, Trevor selects the grotesque lovechild of Ren, Stimpy, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Freaked (1993)!
Cheating the system a bit, Keanu actually only appears in the film in an uncredited capacity, while his longtime friend Alex Winters stars in, co-wrote and co-directed the film along with Tom Stern and Tim Burns.
Alex Winter acting like Jim Carrey in Gremlin makeup!
Keanu Reeves as Ortiz the Dog Boy!
Randy Quaid as an insta-tanned ringmaster!
A man with a sock for a head, sentient rastafarian eyeballs, a man farting an eternal flame, and a giant pile of shit shaped like Winona Ryder!

The culmination of 22 movies worth of storyline, the film a relentlessly entertaining 3 hour plus spectacle of fanservice and comic book absurdity.

April 16, 2019 Episode 31 - 28 Days Later (2002)
In this episode, Kyle introduces Trevor to Danny Boyle's contemporary zombie movie classic, 28 Days Later (2002)!
Starring Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris and Brendan Gleeson, the film is an exceptional entry in a very crowded sub-genre of horror and is especially noteworthy for kicking off the (brief) trend of "fast zombies."
Cillian Murphy, shouting "HELLO!" and turning into Rambo in the last act!
Naomie Harris, mercy killing people in the least efficient manner possible!
Brendan Gleeson, as a gigantic red herring that's all about the booze!
Christopher Eccleston, as the proud leader of the UK's horniest and least capable military unit!
