Show Notes Chapter Markers

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are keeping this damn bus from dropping below 50 miles per hour. We watched the 1994 film from Jan de Bont, Speed.

Is there any better way to kick off the new year than by celebrating one of cinema’s finest actors? In fact, he’s more than that, he’s also one of humanity’s greatest living people!

We’re kicking off an entire month of championing a true artist: Keanu Freaking Reeves. This is a moment we’ve been looking forward to for a long time.

As police officer Jack Traven, he races against a speedometer to stop a madman from killing a bus full of innocent people. Along the way, he makes flirty googly eyes with passenger Annie.

Will the madman get the best of Jack and explode the bus with everyone on it? Or will he get in over his head by underestimating the power of Keanu? Only one way to find out…
