Speed (with Travis Woods)
Pop quiz, hotshot: join us as we welcome back BWDR veteran and De Palma completist Travis Woods for a special conversation on one of our all-time favorites, Jan de Bont’s Speed (1994). We get into: repetition compulsion and classical Hollywood storytelling, Keanu’s peak hotness, Speed’s existential lessons, does Jeff Daniels close his eyes?, Mark Mancina’s love theme, what it means to “become bomb,” and more.
Further reading/viewing: Veronica’s BWDR essay on Speed, the comprehensive 50 MPH podcast on the making of Speed, and Keanu Reeves’s vision of a perfect day. Find Travis at BWDR, and here’s another recent piece of his on David Lynch's Wild at Heart over at Southwest Review.
