  3. Something's Gotta Give (2003) - Keanucopia

    02/11/2021

    Something's Gotta Give (2003) - Keanucopia

    Things get personal this week, as Ben and Alex follow Oscar winners Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton on their tumultuous relationship and it brings out the reflective side of the Arnietholy chaps. Writer-director Nancy Meyers is a brand unto herself and this isn't a bad example of why studios are so willing to throw tens of millions of dollars at her. Is it funny enough and romantic enough to pass the romcom test though? And just how incredibly hot is Keanu in this? Music is Black Fly by Audionautix. Get in touch here: thearniethology@gmail.com

  5. The Matrix Revolutions (2003) - Keanucopia

    02/04/2021

    The Matrix Revolutions (2003) - Keanucopia

    Everything that has a beginning, has an end. And so Alex and Ben have come to the end (for now) of the Matrix franchise. Almost two decades of debate, both attacking and defending these films, has led to this moment. So after all this time and all these rewatches, does The Matrix Revolutions get the Arniethology seal of approval? Music is Black Fly by Audionautix. Get in touch here: thearniethology@gmail.com

  6. The Matrix Reloaded (2003) - Keanucopia

    01/29/2021

    The Matrix Reloaded (2003) - Keanucopia

    I believe that this episode holds, for each and every one of us, the very meaning of our lives. Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and a bunch of others are back and Ben and Alex are going big for it. More divisive than its predecessor, the first part of the back-to-back sequels was one of the most hotly anticipated films of its era and left a lot of people scratching their heads. Thankfully, becuase we've always got our finger on the pulse of what's hot, The Arniethology is here to unravel as much as possible and it only took 17 years. If you've got another theory on what's going on, we'd love to hear about it, so please get in touch here: thearniethology@gmail.com Music is Black Fly by Audionautix.

  7. Hardball (2001) - Keanucopia

    01/22/2021

    Hardball (2001) - Keanucopia

    A return to the world of Sport this week - Keanu is a degenerate gambler who gets sucked into the world of little league coaching in the suprising drama, Hardball. Ben and Alex are not your ideal candidates to walk you through a play-by-play, so there must be something special here to keep them engrossed. Could it be Keanu's performance? Or just the presense of Big Poppa on the soundtrack? Music is Black Fly by Audionautix. Get in touch here: thearniethology@gmail.com

  8. Sweet November (2001) - Keanucopia

    01/14/2021

    Sweet November (2001) - Keanucopia

    After a slew of bonus episodes. its the first actual Keanucopia episode of 2021 and to celebrate (?), Keanu has re-teamed with his Devil's Advocate co-star Charlize Theron for romantic drama, Sweet November. This is an odd confection, somewhat confusing for the first half and then, depending on your mindset, either much better or much worse in the second. Ben and Alex don't quite represent the even split on those feelings, but as always, they get into it. Music is Black Fly by Audionautix; get in touch here: thearniethology@gmail.com
