The Keanu Reeves Appreciation Episode, Plus Matrix Resurrections

The newest installment of The Matrix, Resurrections was released on HBO Max and in theaters a couple weeks back. So, of course we had to take some time to appreciate a man that we have great love and affection for on The Back Porch: Keanu Reeves. 

Our main man, Beam, absolutely had to make his triumphant return for this episode and Corey is so happy to have his co-host back on the microphone with him. To have this discussion we had to invite our good friend Dr. Gena Gerstner, one of your day one homies and the biggest Keanu/Matrix stan that we know. 

Beam, Corey, and Gena start out by discussing the newest Matrix film and their reactions to the new movie (03:18) and do their absolute darndest to avoid spoilers. From there, they transition to talk about the real reason that they’re all here, and that is Keanu Reeves (18:45).

Keanu is an actor that we’ve all loved for a VERY long time. Some might say it’s part of what connected us as friends. Throughout this discussion, we talk about Keanu the man and Keanu the actor and acknowledge our favorite movies that he has appeared in. The goal here is simple: get 100% of the population to give Keanu his god damned flowers.
