About Point Break (1991)
In Los Angeles, a gang of bank robbers who call themselves The Ex-Presidents commit their crimes while wearing masks of Reagan, Carter, Nixon and Johnson. Believing that the members of the gang could be surfers, the F.B.I. sends young agent Johnny Utah to the beach undercover to mix with the surfers and gather information.
What We Discussed on the Podcast
Vaya con Dios, listeners! This week, the dads catch a wave straight into Point Break, the 1991 adrenaline-soaked fever dream where surfing, skydiving, and armed robbery collide in the most beautifully bonkers way possible. We’re talking Keanu’s stone-faced rookie charm, Swayze’s zen outlaw swagger, and a plot so wild it makes extreme sports look like spiritual awakening.
We dive deep into the film’s weird, wonderful tone: part crime thriller, part philosophical bro-down. There’s debate over Johnny Utah’s law enforcement credentials, Bodhi’s cult-leader vibes, and how Kathryn Bigelow made a heist movie feel like a spiritual quest. Also: mid-air fistfights, Reagan masks, and at least one very serious conversation about meatball subs.
Is Point Break secretly brilliant, gloriously dumb, or both? Either way, we’re riding this one all the way to the 50-year storm.
