POINT BREAK turns 30 in a couple months and what better way to celebrate an absolute classic than to riff on it! On this episode we talk about everything that turns this movie into something uniquely sublime: Patrick Swayze's legendary, intoxicating turn as Bodhi; Keanu Reeves' still-green take on Johnny Utah; Gary Busey's all-time role as Agent Pappas; and Kathryn Bigelow's ingenious direction and writing that elevated this movie to a classic that's still talked about today. Plus Bryne makes a case for this being the most Saggittarius-centric movie of all time. We also talk about the point of view of this movie and how its platonic love story between the two leads and how that may have hurt its chances with the heterosexual male of 1991. The skydiving scenes, the iconic foot chase, the robberies. THE SURFING MONTAGES. It's all here. Ride with us.
