Point Break (1991)
Welcome to 'Don't You Want Me?' - a podcast series taking a lighthearted look at the most relatable, intriguing and dysfunctional relationships in film.
In this episode, we’re talking about Kathryn Bigelow’s 1991 hit Point Break. With a screenplay by W. Peter Iliff and giving Keanu Reeves his first-ever role in an action film, Point Break has been referred to by Rolling Stone magazine as the ‘wet western’ that might be ‘the greatest female-gaze action movie ever’. Pulling on Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon masks with us tonight are Johnny Utah, played by Keanu Reeves, and Bodhi, played by Patrick Swayze. Is this relationship the ride of a lifetime during 50 year storm, or should we back off Warchild, seriously.
Recorded in August 2021.
Produced by Catrin Lowe and Rich Nelson
Theme music by Paul Abbott (on Instagram @paulmdabbott)
