In the fourth episode of our 2024 Kathryn Bigelow Marathon, we look at her 1991 outing, Point Break. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about how Bigelow's moody aesthetic translates into the movie and perhaps enriches it, whether Keanu Reeves could have been replaced by Brandon Lee and if Gary Busey eating a meatball sandwich is an iconic image full of meaning. We also talk about epiphanies sparked by seeing bare asses, Tom Sizemore's brief appearance, differences between a queer reading and the female gaze, and the idea of living vicariously through Patrick Swayze.
