If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price - Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew – Ian, Liam, Ellie, and Georgia as we welcome the Beyonce of the Film Podcast world, Em from Verbal Diorama as we're heading to the beach in search of big waves as we train for the 50 year storm in Point Break.  It's a freefall of a 77th episode as Em provides so many interesting notes as we discuss:


  • Who the studio originally wanted for the role of Johnny Utah

  • Some of the horrendous other names for this film

  • We play BFE bingo as some familiar names pop up in alternate universe casting

  • Some directing choices that surprised us coming from a female director

  • Lori Petty and try to figure out why it doesn't go quite right for her here

  • Some of the measures that resulted in some truly amazing cinematography

  • How we don't believe Keanu Reeves as an FBI agent

  • If John C McGinley just always plays Dr Cox

  • Which key scene resulted in a backup being called in to play the role due to actor absence

  • Whether or not Point Break is the Best Film Ever
