Captive Audience

Cloud10

Captive Audience is more than just a movie podcast. It taps into why we watch movies--to keep up with what's new in pop culture, to experience something for the first time, and to share that experience with friends and loved ones. Captive Audience is a reaction video in podcast form with hosts Edwin Janes, Sean Roney, and Alex Ward. The unique format allows us to keep up with what's new, catch up on classics, and share films that are near and dear to our hearts. Movies can feel very solitary, especially if we're just watching Netflix at home. But at times the best parts of movies comes from sharing them with other people. It can be laughing in the theater with the rest of the audience, debating with friends, or simply asking, 'So, what did you think?' once the credits roll. This podcast gets at why we watch movies, and as cliche as it may sound, how shared experiences bring people together.

This week we're joined by Peter Frick-Wright (host of the Outside Podcast), who sits down for a first viewing of 1991's Point Break starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. But wait, there's more! Alex, Sean, and Edwin are also watching the 2015 remake of Point Break for the first time - a movie that does definitely NOT star Keanu Reeves or Patrick Swayze.

So grab your surfboard, put on your LBJ mask, and polish off a couple of meatball subs while we break down two versions of a crime/action classic.

03/20/24 • 110 min

"You've listened to a long and complex case, murder in the first degree. Premeditated murder is the most serious charge tried in our criminal courts. You've listened to the testimony, you've had the law read to you and interpreted as it applies in this case, it's now your duty to sit down and try to separate the facts from the fancy."

With the judge's words ringing in our ears, we head into the courts this week to make Edwin watch the 1957 classic 12 Angry Men. Sidney Lumet's directing debut remains a foundation of the courtroom drama genre to this day, even though almost nothing is seen in an actual courtroom.

So light up your cigarettes, fix the broken fan, keep your switchblade strapped, and join us for a boiling hot deliberation.

Come with us in a time machine back to July of 1991, where we take a time machine to 2029 and send a couple Terminators back to 1995 to correct the mistakes made from taking a time machine back to 1984 to stop the human rebellion in 2029 after machines became self aware in 1997. Simple stuff, but important.

We are back this week to follow-up with Sean's first ever viewing of The Terminator with one of the greatest sequels of all time, Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Hit the kick-stand on your Harley Davidson, pop open a can of memetic liquid poly-alloy, and join us to break down an all-time summer blockbuster.
