What do David Bowie, Stevie Nicks, Keanu Reeves have in common? They are - by almost anyone's standards - "cool". A new psychology study has been making the rounds, and it tries to get to the bottom of a simple question: What does it mean to be a cool person? The authors widdled the answer down to six specific traits. Caleb Warren is a professor at the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona, and one of the authors behind this study, he chats to Jesse.
Send us a textHave you ever been watching a movie or TV show and thought, "Wait, that's NOT who should be playing this role?!" You're not alone! On this episode of Entertain This!, we're diving deep into the fascinating, and sometimes frustrating, world of miscasting. Join us as we debate, dissect, and sometimes even defend those infamous casting decisions that left us scratching our heads. From legendary actors in utterly unsuitable roles (looking at you, John Wayne as Genghis Khan or Keanu Reeves in Dracula) to seemingly perfect fits that just didn't quite land, we're exploring why certain performances fell flat despite the talent involved. We'll discuss:* The "Why": What goes into a bad casting choice? Studio pressure? Actor chemistry gone wrong? Or just a fundamental misunderstanding of the character? * The Disconnect: When an actor's persona completely clashes with the role they're playing. * Near Misses & What-Ifs: Imagine if the Actor had played another Role instead! * Our Picks: We'll be sharing a few controversial takes of our own! Tune in and tell us: what are your biggest miscasting pet peeves? Did we miss any egregious examples?

We review Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure starring Keanu Reeves!
It's that loveably goofy story of Shane Falco and his band of scab misfits who win the hearts of local fans during a player strike. Because that always happens. It's time to take a deep dive at a picture starring an actor best known for playing former Ohio State quarterbacks who are dealing with the next stage of their lives after taking the Buckeyes to a New Years Day bowl game. That's right! It's Keanu Reeves, this time in The Replacements as Shane Falco, whose disastrous Sugar Bowl performance led him to a life scrubbing barnacles off boats instead of NFL glory. Could one bad game cause a player to go from surefire draft pick to not even being signed as a free agent? I mean, even Shedeur went in the 5th round after telling GM's to get out of his way and let him run the franchise. It doesn't matter. In this weird universe, the players are going to strike and the fans are ready to embrace scab ball and they need a hero who says “Whoa”. So join us tonight as we review an American classic with an American hero in The Replacements. And remember to jump into comments to participate even it's just to sound off with a Go Big Red to let us know you're there.

Knock Knock, Film Nerds. The Podcast Has You.BK & Jack are ready to tackle one of the most high-minded sci-fi & action films of all time - the film that capped a millennium with a cultural phenomenon.In Part 1, learn how the cast of the Matrix committed themselves to one of the most physically intense Hollywood productions of all time, how the film's open-ended discourse lays countless philosophical perspectives on the table, and how the film became the cultural sensation that capped an entire millennium. All that & much more!We're at the start of a new watchlist. Let the Nerds show you how deep the rabbit hole goes...
There's a unique counter response to romance scammers.Her name is Becky Holmes.Holmes, an expert and author on romance scams, has spent years responding to nearly every romance scammer who lands a message in her inbox. She told one scammer pretending to be Brad Pitt that she needed immediate help hiding the body of one of her murder victims. She made one romance scammer laugh at her immediate willingness to take an international flight to see him. She has told scammers she lives at addresses with lewd street names, she has sent pictures of apples—the produce—to scammers requesting Apple gift cards, and she's even tricked a scammer impersonating Mark Wahlberg that she might be experimenting with cannibalism.Though Holmes routinely gets a laugh online, she's also coordinated with law enforcement to get several romance scammers shut down. And every effort counts, as romance scams are still a dangerous threat to everyday people.Rather than tricking a person into donating to a bogus charity, or fooling someone into entering their username and password on a fake website, romance scammers ensnare their targets through prolonged campaigns of affection.They reach out on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, X, or Instagram and they bear a simple message: They love you. They know you're a stranger, but they sense a connection, and after all, they just want to talk.A romance scammer's advances can be appealing for two reasons. One, some romance scammers target divorcees and widows, making their romantic gestures welcome and comforting. Two, some romance scammers dress up their messages with the allure of celebrity by impersonating famous actors and musicians like Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Keanu Reeves.These scams are effective, too, to sometimes devastating consequences. According to recent research from Malwarebytes, 10% of the public have been the victims of romance scams, and a small portion of romance scam victims have lost $10,000 or more.Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Holmes about her experiences online with romance scammers, whether AI is changing online fraud, and why the rules for protection and scam identification have changed in an increasingly advanced, technological world.”I've seen videos of scammers actually making these real life video manipulation calls where you've got some guy sitting one side of the world pretending to be somewhere else completely, and he's talking into his phone and it's coming out on the other person's phone as a different image with a different voice.”Tune in today.You can also find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and whatever preferred podcast platform you use.For all our cybersecurity coverage, visit...

You know the John Wick movies are successful when they're making spin-off TV series and movies off of that franchise. This week we get the first, and most assuredly, not the last John Wick spin-off movie, “Ballerina.” Ana De Armas takes the starring role in this as another assassin who, like John Wick, was trained to kill by the Ruska Roma criminal organization. Perhaps she's even more lethal than Wick because no one expects her to be an assassin. We saw a preview of De Armas kicking butt as an agent in the Bond film “No Time To Die.” Here she gets a whole movie to showcase her killer talents. In this, her main objective is to use her particular set of skills to find her parent's killers and no one better get in her way. Is it worth checking out this action at the theater? Check out this episode to find out. “Ballerina” also stars Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Angelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Ava Joyce McCarthy, Juliet Doherty, Norman Reedus, Lance Reddick, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, David Castaneda, Victoria Comte and Robert Maaser.

Her book, Much Ado About Keanu: A Critical Reeves Theory highlights the actor's legendary career.

"I can carry nearly eighty gigs of data in my head." For our Cinema Shock summer series, we wanted to take a look back at a few movies that were celebrating significant anniversaries this year. When we began browsing films released in 1995, we noticed an interesting trend: There was a glut of cyber thrillers released that year. And more specifically, cyber thrillers that dealt with the concept of virtual reality. This probably shouldn't be surprising: 1995 was a banner year for technology; with the release of Windows 95 and the increasing availability of home internet, more people than ever were being connected to the World Wide Web. And as we know, Hollywood loves a trend. Enter: Virtual Insanity. In this series, we'll be exploring some of the more significant films of this very specific subgenre, all of which are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year. Most of these films fell flat at the box office in 1995 but all have reached varying degrees of notoriety in the decades since. Kicking things off, we're taking a look at JOHNNY MNEMONIC, possibly the strangest of the bunch. It's a film with a long, complex production history whose journey from page (in a short story by cyberpunk legend William Gibson) to screen was fraught with delays, difficulties and compromises. In our last episode, we detailed the early days of JOHNNY MNEMONIC's development and filming. This week, we'll focus on the film's contentious post production period, where the Hollywood execs responsible for marketing the film tried to turn it into something it was never intended to be, hoping to capitalize on the newfound post-SPEED superstardom of Keanu Reeves. We'll also get into our own thoughts on the film's legacy, as well as how its views of the internet and global connectivity are still relevant today. Next week: We continue our look at the cyber thrillers of 1995 with an often-overlooked film that stars two of Hollywood's biggest names. Want to support the show?

This dysfunctional relationship led to Ione's marriage to the first great love of her life, Adam Horovitz of The Beastie Boys, and a period of time she describes as her 90s daydream.This happy period devolved as Ione joyfully and remorsefully explored her bisexuality and the infidelity eventually ended the marriage.Today Ione is happily married to Australian musician, Ben Lee and has two daughters.Further informationSay Everything is published by HarperCollins.Find out more about Ione Skye and Ben Lee's creative project, Weirder Together.Conversations Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.Find out more about the Conversations Live National Tour on the ABC website.This episode of Conversations deals with absent fathers, epic life stories, personal stories, cheating, divorce, relationship breakdowns, inappropriate relationships, age gap relationships, intimacy, therapy, Hollywood, Ad-Rock, partying, substance abuse, modelling, child actors and acting.

From the World of John Wick....this is techically a spin-off which takes place between the events of John Wick Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, the focus here is on Eve who is played by Ana De Armas. Eve is an assassin who was initially trainied as as a ballerina, hence the title! The Director of her "academy" is Angelica Huston who was also featured as a character in Chapter 3. Eve is seeking revenge against a rival organization which murdered her father when she was a young child - that organization is lead by The Chancellor played by Gabriel Byrne. And off she goes from New York City throughout Northern Europe on an increasingly violent adventure where she is tasked with defeating rival assassins through a variety of methods including her fists, grenades, flame throwers, knives, and dishes. ;) Along the way, she also encounters the "Baba Yaga" himself, John Wick once again played by Keanu Reeves. Ken Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard, Underworld) directs with a supporting cast also including Ian McShane, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, and in sadly his final on-screen appearance, the late great Lance Reddick.
