RA Streetlight: Speed (1994)

In our new Podcast Series named Review Avenue Streetlight, we discuss and dissect a different film each episode. We go through the film in depth, discussing the plot and pivotal scenes so fair warning for SPOILERS!

On this episode, we’re boarding Jan De Bont’s 1994 action and bomb packed bus Speed. We’re taking the brakes off too and change things up in terms of structure and take a more conversational route. There’s still plenty of film facts you may not have known, more mistakes than ever before and Oliver shows how awful of a Question Master he would make in the Podcast Quiz!

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the episode and of the film itself. You can:

Fall Of A Kingdom

by Sean Burton on November 30, 2020

A small-scale historical tale that isn't fussed on the factual details, Fall of a Kingdom's faltering start is redeemed by its later action sequences and ongoing engaging character relationships.

Skyfire

by Sean Burton on November 23, 2020

Skyfire is exactly the kind of over-the-top action film which would've lit up the box office in the 1990s. As it stands in 2020, it's pure peak V-Movie entertainment.

Tenet

by Cara McWilliam-Richardson on August 27, 2020

Tenet will prove a divisive film that may be a step too far even for the most die-hard Nolan fans. But for those drawn into Tenet’s winding and labyrinthine narrative, the film provides much appeal with awesome set pieces and great performances.
