321 Point Break (1991)
2w ago00:36:35Tap to summarizeKeanu Reeves and Gary Busey play two FBI agents on the hunt for surfer dude/banker robber Patrick Swayze. Are these two agents bad at their job? Is there a gay subtext here and that's why Lori Petty's character exists? Does this movie make any kind of sense at all? The boys discuss.

3w ago00:40:45Tap to summarizeDon't get too excited. The snatch in this case means to attempt to seize something suddenly. The movie is directed by Madonna's ex-husband and stars a (relatively) non violent Jason Statham, a bare knuckle boxing Brad Pitt and lots of gun play. Join the boys as they discuss.

Mar 1800:34:14Tap to summarizeA lot of films these days have actors playing against themselves, the Oscar nominated film Sinners being one of the latest to do this.
