Episode 3 - Jan de Bont’s Speed - Pop Quiz, Hotshot

The first in a subset of Dealer's Choice episodes, wherein the dastardly wheel of fate is spun and the winner chooses the discussion topic. To kick things off, it's Jan de Bont's action-suspense-traffic hell masterpiece Speed! Sarah & Joe discuss the ins and outs of the film reaching the screen, from narrow-miss casting debacles to Dennis Hopper's maniacal laugh. Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Jeff Daniels, Twister, Madonna, Ellen DeGeneres, Tippi Hedren, a bunch of Baldwins, and, naturally, Speed 2: Cruise Control make cameos in the wide ranging discussion. Is it the best movie of 1994? Or not even the best movie released that June '94 week?? Everybody hold on! We're all joining that wildcat behind the wheel this week for Speed!
