WARNING: This week's episode is extra sweary and explicit. In talking about the fledgling adventure of comedy duo Bill and Ted, we got into questions concerning some of the adult themes that so often appear in these 80s comedies, such as "What is a 69?" and "Did you spot Freud's drooping corndog?". And it's all in the name of answering the key question: is this film still any good at making us laugh, or is it now just a nostalgic cringe-fest? Stay tuned for the perspective of a youngling from 2020 to balance out our old and jaded views.

Malkovich. Pfeiffer. Close. Uma. Capaldi. Keanu?

Perhaps not as much as we would like, but he's finally played something other than a Broody Stoner Hunk Bro, as we try to pick apart Stephen Frears' multi award-winning period drama, Dangerous Liaisons. There's conspiracy, backsliding, sex, manipulation, love, death and even a strong vein of feminism. But does it tickle The Arniethology's pleasure centre?

A return to the original Arniethology for one week only, as the Austrian Oak has a new film out on home release, featuring his Around the World in 80 Days co-star, Jackie Chan.

The Iron Mask (AKA Journey to China: Mystery of the Iron Mask) is a Russian-Chinese co-production and features the two megastars in supporting roles, as globe-trotting action fantasy shenanigans take place.

Could this be a return to the family-friendly heights of Kindergarten Cop or just another in an increasing line of disappointments for the Arnie fan?

An extra short episode this time around, as Alex and Ben are somewhat underwhelmed by a romantic comedy hostage drama, that struggles to be one thing or the other. A pretty great cast gets them through, however, and is perhaps the only reason to see this film.

Before we get to the altogether unheard of and surprising film that is the focus of this week's episode, Ben and Alex have some suggestions for things to watch during the lockdown period (skip the first 13 minutes if you're not interested).

Then it's on to director Marisa Silver's Permanent Record, a teen drama (stay with us) that tenderly deals with the impact of a promising high school student's suicide, through the mechanisms of grief, support, structure, empathy and music. More than any film so far in the Keanucopia, if this one has passed you by, give it a watch before you listen to us discuss it - firstly, it's well worth it and secondly, we get spoilery early doors.

To top it all off, once the hankies are wrung out, Marisa Silver herself sent us a few words about the film.

Our exploration of the career of Keanu Reeves continues with The Night Before, a John Hughesian teen comedy about two kids who get lost on the way to prom and the journey to try and remember just what happened, before it's too late.

Some pretty heavy topics get thrown around, for such a lightweight film, but the road to Bill and Ted is clear after seeing this. Is it a gem or just a stepping stone? Alex and Ben have differing opinions.

In the words of the great John Wick, "Yeah, I'm thinking we're back".

And we're kicking off the Keanu Reeves retrospective - AKA Keanucopia - with the first available film on our list, River's Edge. A dark and strange teen drama, this explores uncomfortable subjects through a less-is-more approach.

We've got old favourites - It's Your Numbers - and a whole new set of actor staples to establish, as we set off on a journey to explore this most beloved of movie stars.

For no reason other than the end of a decade comes but once every, what eight or nine years? Ben and Alex are listing their favourite films of the decade from 2010 to 2019. With two picks a year, this is a 40+ list of the films The Arniethology holds dearest from this most recent decade, along with plenty of mentions for films that came close to making the list and a few major disappointments that deserve extra special mention.

We're back with an interstitial episode, talking about the latest in the Terminator franchise.

First, there's a catch-up on the state of the year's films so far, including a rather lacklustre summer season.

Then the review starts proper at 16m, as we get into the film many are hailing as the best Terminator film since James "Jim to his friends" Cameron helmed T2 in 1991. Does the Arniethology agree?

Well, it takes some spoilerific talk to get into that and spoilers start at 49m30s.

We've got a special episode for you this time, as we talk through a potted history of the Fast and Furious franchise, before getting into (non-spoilery) chat about the latest entry - and first spin-off - 'Hobbs and Shaw'.

We also take a quick look at the trailers for the upcoming Arnie and Cruise films in the shape of 'Terminator: Dark Fate' and 'Top Gun: Maverick', respectively.

Finally, there's a look forward and a special announcement about where we're going next.
