Coming up on forum, let's talk about someone nice.

Kianu Reeves has been called the nicest guy in Hollywood.

The Chinese, native of Hawaiian, English-Canadian actor,

played the lovable Dufous and Bill and Ted's excellent adventure,

The One in The Matrix, The Vengeful Assassin in John Wick.

A new book called Much-Doo about Kianu, a critical Reeves theory,

says he's brought us so much more than entertainment and internet memes over his 40-year career

and that he's been unfairly mocked for his acting skills.

What do you think? Are you a fan? Join us. Welcome to Forum. I'm Mina Kim. We need to make much ado

about Keanu Reeves. At least that's what Cazine Davy Kohler says. She's one of three serious Keanu fans and experts joining us this hour to talk about Reeves, who's been in some 80 films over four decades, despite sometimes being described as not that good of an actor. Our guests will tell us why we're dead wrong and what Reeves has contributed to the film world, to multiracial representation,

to healthy masculinity. Personally, I just felt like talking about someone nice today. So let me tell

you who is joining us this hour. Sazine Davy Kohler is a pop culture writer and author of

much ado about Kianu, a critical Reeves theory. Welcome, Sazine.

Oh, thank you so much for having me, Mina. This is a dream come true to be here. Oh, I'm so glad to hear that.
