EPISODE 003: POINT BREAK
In our third episode, we review the seminal 1991 Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze film, Point Break. Joining The Keanuseurs for this episode is our friend Dr. Alicia Kozma, who researches and teaches about the intersection of media, identity, gender, and labor studies at Washington College.
We discuss toxic masculinity, Kathryn Bigelow’s career, whether Bodhi is actually a villain or not, the fact that Jasmine has gone 31 years before ever watching Point Break, and how much Lori and Keanu look alike in this movie.
Thanks for listening!
