Surely You Can't Be Serious PodcastShow Notes
Surf’s up, dude… and apparently so are the engines! 🏄♂️🏎️
Jason and Dee are putting two of the greatest adrenaline-fueled action movies of all time head-to-head: 1991’s Point Break vs. 2001’s The Fast and the Furious. And while one is about bank-robbing surfers and the other is about undercover cops and street racers, the similarities are impossible to ignore.
In Part One, the guys go back to the beginning and explore the origins of both movies before diving deep into Point Break. How did a movie about surfing, skydiving and presidential-mask-wearing bank robbers come together? How did Keanu Reeves land the role of Johnny Utah? Why was Patrick Swayze the perfect choice for Bodhi? And what about all the fascinating “what if” casting possibilities that could have completely changed the movie?
Jason and Dee break down the cast, the characters, the behind-the-scenes stories and the choices that helped make Point Break a bonafide action classic.
And if you think you know where this is headed… wait until Part Two, when the guys take on The Fast and the Furiousand finally decide which movie rules the road—or the waves!Point Break vs. The Fast and the Furious — Part One.
Adrenaline. Action. Absurdly good hair. Let’s get wet.
