Episode 22 - POINT BREAK
Listen now
Description
Who would’ve thought that a film about bank-robbing surfers being hunted by the FBI could have so many philosophical and spiritual motifs? Kathryn Bigelow did. This week we hit the beach and dive into the majestic world of POINT BREAK. This early 90’s action classic cemented Keanu Reeves as a star and introduced the world to Patrick Swayze’s bank-robbing, charismatic and philosophical Bodhi. This was a fun episode to research and record, there are a lot interesting stories about the making of this film that we discovered and discuss this week. We also share personal stories about some of the most memorable times in our lives regarding adrenaline fuelled moments. Where will POINT BREAK end up on The Movie Calendar?

We’re on a mission from the Movie Gods. This is somewhat a more personal episode for us at The Movie Calendar. Watching THE BLUES BROTHERS brought back a lot of nostalgia for us both, so much so that Terence would like to dedicate this episode to his father. Thanks Dad. Where will THE BLUES...
