Ethan and Talia discuss Kathryn Bigelow’s 1991 film Point Break. On how Keanu Reeves’ acting is an eternal, mysterious pleasure; the ambiguity over whether this is a good bad film or a good good film; and how Ethan’s love of this film has lead to him remaking a no-budget version in his friend’s back garden.
links to things discussed in this episode
• Not sure that there exists evidence of Ethan’s claim that wearing president masks during a bank robbery was based on a real life case but here’s a more recent version
• Not direct evidence that Patrick Swazye was like Bodhi but I think it helps
• A Rolling Stone article about Point Break that mentions how Katherine Bigelow fought to cast Keanu in the movie… also lots about the female gaze
• Malcolm Gladwell’s theory about why we misunderstand strangers (a theory which Talia believes could validate Keanu’s acting style)

Ethan and Talia discuss Gregory Jacobs’s 2015 film Magic Mike XXL. How the pleasures of this film are largely down to the up-to-the-minute depiction of male friendships; on Andie McDowell’s finest acting hour; and whether the flood or articles labelling Magic Mike the feminist film of the year are justified.
links to things discussed in this episode
• Very intense article from Lateral – Journal of Cultural Studies Association
• Complicated feminism on Magic Mike XXL. Feels forced and profit-driven
• Vice on Magic Mike XXL and feminism
• The Atlantic on Magic Mike XXL and gender politics
• Talia could not work out what the Fred Astaire film was or if she completely misremembered it…
• The original casting for Rome’s role
