Description

Keanu Reeves is Johnny Utah, Patrick Swayze is Bodhi, and Gary Busey just wants two meatball subs. This week, Rewind or Die dives into Point Break (1991) — the surfing, skydiving, bank-robbing action classic that inspired The Fast and the Furious and an entire generation of adrenaline junkies.

Join Adam, Jeff, and Producer Steve as they break down Kathryn Bigelow’s cult masterpiece — from the greatest foot chase in movie history to Anthony Kiedis’ unforgettable cameo. They nitpick Johnny Utah’s terrible undercover work (shouldn’t everyone recognize the Rose Bowl quarterback from THE Ohio State?), marvel at Lori Petty’s underrated role, and argue whether Bodhi is a criminal, a guru, or both. Plus, the gang debates if Rodney Dangerfield could’ve pulled off the same assignment, why the dog-throwing scene deserves its own Oscar, and how Point Break still sets the standard for action movies three decades later.
