Keanu Believe It

Just like Milhouse said, it’s just like Speed 2 but on a bus instead of a boat. That’s right, our Keanu Reeves podcast has finally made it to Speed! There was only one person Sam (@samshotfirst) was going to have on to discuss the iconic action film and that’s Talk Film Society Editor-in-Chief Marcelo Pico (@marcelojpico). They go in depth on the film discussing everything from the wild practical stunts, to one of the best romances in action cinema, to Keanu finally becoming a bonafide movie star.

Once upon a time, Keanu Reeves played Buddha in a Bernardo Bertolucci film. No, really, it happened. It’s understandable if you don’t quite believe us, but that’s exactly what this all-Keanu podcast is for! Host Sam Van Haren (@samshotfirst) is joined by TFS contributor Manish Mathur (@TheManish89) to discuss Little Buddha. Is this a forgotten gem? Or is there a reason most don’t know about this chapter in Reeves’ career? Listen to find out!

Many say Keanu Reeves was horribly miscast as Don John in Kenneth Branagh’s Much Ado About Nothing, but host Sam (@SamShotFirst) and his guest Brendan Agnew (@BLCAgnew) think otherwise. Listen to the latest episode of this all Keanu podcast as they discuss one of the very best Shakespeare adaptations. Much Ado… is a sexy, funny, and all-around joyous movie with an all-star cast including Emma Thompson, Denzel Washington, and Michael Keaton.

On this episode of the all Keanu Reeves podcast we are discussing Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 adaptation of the classic gothic horror novel. Bram Stoker’s Dracula is a movie overflowing with everything, so it required two guests to explore its dark and colorful world. Sam (@samshotfirst) is joined by Alejandra Gonzalez (@sick__66) and Matt Curione (@TheRealMattC) to talk about the beautiful design, outstanding in-camera VFX, and some very extra performances. Is Keanu’s performance a disaster or oddly perfect? Listen here to find out!

On this episode of this podcast dedicated to Keanu Reeves, we discuss the film with arguably the singular actor’s best performance. Sam (@samshotfirst) is joined by returning guest David Hart (@pccasestudy) for a chat about Gus Van Sant’s 1991 indie-drama My Own Private Idaho. Part queer coming-of-age story, part Shakespeare adaptation, this one-of-a-kind film also features a truly phenomenal performance from the late, great River Phoenix.
