Nostalgia galore
I was 17. I just got my crappy car. Speed was in the theater. Instead of taking a friend, I asked my mom, which blew her away. That’s just one memory of many I have of this movie. It cemented my mom and me watching movies the rest of her life and exclaiming “oh darn” if either of us swore. I still own the VHS I bought 29 years ago. When I saw this podcast I loaded up the VCR expecting to be disappointed but man oh man quite the opposite. Movie holds up. I was still glued to my seat. I still want to marry Jack, be friends with Annie and never ride a bus. This podcast is amazingly detailed and includes drama and so much backstory. I’m only on episode 18 and so far no current Keanu or Sandra interviews. That’s not the podcaster’s fault but it’s slightly disappointing. Listen anyway, the you from 30 years ago would demand it!

I especially loved the early episode that discussed where Keanu and Sandra were in their careers right before, during, and...Read full review »
