S3E5. Point(s) Break - Of Street and Screen

Welcome back to In Reverse: Start Line! This episode is our Point Break episode, of course, in which we'll analyze both the original Point Break (1991) and the reboot (2015). The similarities between Point Break (1991) and The Fast and the Furious (2001) are often cited, so in our exploration of the origins of the franchise, it only felt right to include these two. We'll compare and contrast them with each other, of course, and with The Fast and the Furious (2001). But before we even get to that-- there's exciting franchise news! We didn't want to keep you waiting, of course, so we open up this episode discussing all the exciting new details about the future of the franchise and its 25th anniversary celebration. It's a fairly packed episode to welcome you back from the mid-season break-- enjoy! Note: Spoiler block in this episode is from 01:21:53 - 01:35:46. If you want to avoid spoiler discussion you can use the chapter marker (if your player supports it) or just scrub to the latter timestamp.
