Being More Keanu with James King

James King is a writer, film critic and broadcaster who joins me to talk about his new book Be More Keanu. What might look like a love letter to Keanu Reeves is actually a self-help manual in disguise - instead of ancient scripts and proverbs the Tao of Keanu is told via the actor's film choices, characters and actions both on and off-screen. In this conversation James and I discuss: - Why there's a lot to be learned from Keanu Reeves. - Why his film choices have often told a bigger story about Keanu's understanding of the world. - Why Keanu's brand of kindness is one we should all aspire to. - What it takes to be a film critic and whether it actually stops you enjoying films. - What it's like interviewing A-list film stars and why Keanu has stood out from the crowd. - The value in making mistakes, and much more. Also in this conversation the Sex and the City 2 and Entourage reviews by Mark Kermode, which are worth a watch.
