Episode description
Welcome back to the show Marya E. Gates and Kristen Sales!
Taking a cue from Marya's "A Year With Women" project, we've started running our own "Flixwise Favorites: Female Filmmaker" series. First up, Kristen tells us why she thinks Kathryn Bigelow's 1991 film, POINT BREAK, is totally radical and should be considered one the greatest movies of all time.
It turns out the film's tagline, "100% Pure Adrenaline", is a little misleading. According to Kristen, POINT BREAK is not just one of the most influential action movies of the 90s, it's also a sensitive portrayal of blossoming intimacy between a pair of beautiful men in wet suits.
Listen up to see if the rest of the panel thinks Bigelow's tale of high-stakes bromance is worthy of canonization.
