Surf's up BTS fans! After an extended hiatus, we're back. To get us started off with a bang, we're going to pit Keanu against Keanu. That's right - we're going to see if the 1991 action classic POINT BREAK is better than, equal to, or worse than our beloved SPEED. Time to sit back, listen, and ask yourself: if you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love. Vaya con Dios! Thanks as always to the unbeatable Andrew Elmore for the incredible intro music. Check out more of his amazing music here. Erin Larson's Better Than Speed Letterboxd archival project can be found here. The other great SPEED podcast we mentioned, 50 MPH, can be found here. Pump some gas here. See you next time!
I think Speed 2 is better than Speed 1. Neither movie makes any sense but Speed 2 is just better. It's not a movie you have to think about, it's just a fun non realistic action movie. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/c-sincere/support
Back in the Speed cave after a year, the gang venture into the nightmarish world of David Lynch's ERASERHEAD. Without Sandra Bullock's top-notch driving and Keanu Reeve's expert marksmanship, how will they ever find their way home? Hold onto your hats. It's another wild episode of Better Than Speed.
Join us for a special episode with Carlos Carrasco, the actor who played Ortiz (aka Gigantor) in the film SPEED and Popeye in BLOOD IN BLOOD OUT, among many others (including THE FISHER KING and CROCODILE DUNDEE 2)! Hear all about SPEED's infamous script rewrites and death-defying stunts. Plus, Carlos gives great advice to young actors and filmmakers while discussing representation in Hollywood. Thank you to Andrew Elmore for the official Better Than Speed theme song!

Finally: an episode dedicated to gratuitous torture and punishment. Better Than Speed investigates the truth behind Cronenberg's Videodrome, and discovers the graphic violence depicted may not be as fake as they thought. Plus, special guest Dawn Garcia professes her undying love for Keanu Reeve's Speed. Head's up: Videodrome is one of the more intense film selections we've featured so far, so we briefly talk about sexual violence and self-harm in relation to the film's plot in this episode. If you need any resources in dealing with these subjects, please reach out to the friendly folks at crisistextline.org or The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.

Beverly Hills. Century City. Everything's so nice and pretty, but the ever acute Alex Cox turns his lens to the gritty underbelly of LA's punk scene. Special guest Dawn Garcia takes us on a tour of California counter-culture at the end of the century. Which is a more quintessential LA flick: Keanu Reeve's Speed or Emlio Estevez's Repo Man? Has Harry Dean Stanton been abducted by aliens? Will we all get vaporized by the neutron bomb? You can stream Repo Man on Amazon Video. And you can watch next episode's selection, Seven Samurai, on Kanopy. Go get your free library card and dry your FilmStruck tears.
