We discuss the definitive surfing, sky diving, and bank robbing movie, Point Break, from Oscar Winning Director Kathryn Bigelow. Is Keanu Reeves perfect for this role or have our opinions about him changed over the years? Would you join a surfing/bank robbing cult if Bodhi was the leader? Hear our sequel ideas, our thoughts on the sexual politics and why this movie shouldn't have been as good as it is. So if you see any surfing, skydiving, bank robbing movie, make sure it's this one.

This was the movie that was supposed to change everything! Life on Earth was never going to be the same after this movie! Instead, we get Emily Blunt having a Dr. Doolittle relationship with animals, a glowing phallic stick of extraterrestrial origins and an unveiling of footage less scary than anything currently on Instagram. Barry and Julia talk about this Spielberg film, compare it to his extraordinary body of work, and try to find enthusiasm for an alien movie less exciting than "MAC and Me."

One of us loved it and one of us hated it! Barry and Julia talk about this outrageous version of the Bride of Frankenstein, what (mostly) worked and what really didn't work at all.

Plus, merch ideas that we should definitely think about trademarking before this episode publishes. Let us know if you guessed right about who loved this movie!

Go back to 2009 with us when relationships were simpler...j/k it was still a mess! We discuss why people still want to get married, if Home Depot is a good place to share your infidelity, if yoga is a good place to meet people and why this movie is so underwhelming. Also, did I make Barry sign a prenup? Is being someone's exception a good thing? Should couples just be like Kurt and Goldie? We get into it all!

In this episode, we dive into the beautifully strange and emotionally layered world of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, this film takes us on a surreal journey through memory, heartbreak, and the desperate desire to forget the ones we once loved.

We unpack the film’s nonlinear storytelling, its hauntingly honest portrayal of relationships, and the big question at its core: if you could erase the pain of a failed relationship, would you… and should you? And, if we found each other again, would we fall in love? Along the way, we talk about the standout performances, the dreamlike visuals, and the moments that hit a little too close to home.

It’s thoughtful, a little trippy, and deeply human—this is one of those conversations that lingers long after the episode ends. Follow along behind the scenes on Instagram @soimarriedafilmcritic_podcast.
