3 Men and a Kitty – A Chat with KEANU’s Key & Peele

Preston Barta // Editor

For anyone who has caught a sketch from the KEY & PEELE series, you know that Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele have been packing and delivering humorous wallops for quite some time now. It was only a matter of time when they would take their talents to the big-screen.

Well, the time is now.

KEANU sees Rell (Peele) struggling to get over a relationship that went south. However, all that changes when he meets the adorable Keanu, a stray kitten that arrives on his doorstep. But even that relationship is doomed to fail, as Keanu is snatched away by some gangsters. Thankfully, Rell’s best friend Clarence (Key) is in tow, to help Rell find his missing snuggle buddy.

Fresh Fiction had the opportunity recently to sit down with Key and Peele at The Lodge in Dallas to talk about KEANU, first strip club experience and if they could teach a course at the University of North Texas.
