The Reel Study

💥 This week on The Reel Study, our Women’s History Month celebration continues as we spotlight director Kathryn Bigelow with an adrenaline-fueled double feature, Blue Steel and Point Break. From a tense psychological thriller about violence, identity, and power to undercover action and extreme-thrill obsession, these films showcase Bigelow’s fearless style and her ability to bring intensity, atmosphere, and edge to genre filmmaking.

Before the discussion, catch up on The Reel News for the latest movie headlines, including Ryan Gosling teaming up with the Daniels for their next film, Stephen Colbert writing a new Lord of the Rings movie, Netflix’s 13 Going on 30 reboot casting Emily Bader and Logan Lerman, the debut trailer for The End of Oak Street, and Glen Powell joining the Super Mario Galaxy movie as Fox McCloud.

Then check out Reel Roundup, where the panel shares their first‑time watches. Whether it’s a brand‑new release in theatres, a streaming debut, or an older film they’re finally catching up on. This week, BlackGirlMarvel reviews the 2009 sci‑fi romance Timer.
