Surf's up, and the crime wave is gnarly.

This week on 100 Things We Learned From Film, we’re grabbing our boards, slipping on our Nixon masks, and catching waves (and feelings) with the 1991 cult classic Point Break. Planty and John ride through the most extreme FBI training montage ever committed to film, debate how many meatball subs is too many, and discover just how wet Keanu Reeves got making this movie.

We’re talking skydiving stunts, behind-the-scenes beefcakes, surfing facts, FBI realness from Quantico, and the legacy of director Kathryn Bigelow’s wild action masterpiece.
