Speed: Oops all VOC

The boys are heading back to Los Angeles in a hurry with this week's episode on Speed, starring Keanu Reeves. Jump on a bus -- yes, that bus -- and try not to go under 50, because jokes are exploding everywhere. Goofs this week include: Dad outfits for any season, additional plane talk, rapid-fire Reeves questions, and a house that produces more than you'd like.

This week's deep dive rec is 50 MPH: the Making of a Movie Megahit, a podcast that goes extremely in depth on the making of tremendously fun summer action movie Speed (1994):

There’s a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes fifty miles an hour, the bomb is armed. If it drops below fifty, it blows up. What do you do? Welcome to 50 MPH, a behind-the-scenes podcast that charts the development, production and legacy of director Jan de Bont’s Oscar-winning 1994 summer blockbuster Speed, starring Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper and Jeff Daniels. Featuring more than 100 new interviews with actors, executives, filmmakers, film scholars and film fans, this one-of-a-kind exploration painstakingly unravels the making of an action movie classic — one mile at a time.

I'm always interested in how creative works get made, and host Kris Tapley takes the listener through every aspect of how this movie came together. If you haven't seen Speed, consider that the first part of this rec (it stars Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves being extremely charismatic at each other during intense situations and at one point a city bus flies off a highway ramp in defiance of all laws of physics, what more could you ask for).

I’m freaking out I bought a new car. With my own money. This feels so fucking weird like I’m panicking because Expensive but also I just did adult things and now I have a car that’s not technically owned by my parents and it’s feels kinda good

Also it’s a Subaru. Had to lean into the stereotype
