This week on Classic Movies Live!, Pierre and Jeff are joined by Rachel Ho from Contra Zoom Pod to talk about one of the quintessential 90s action movies: Speed!

But what is the legacy of Speed? Is its influence on action still felt today? Tune in as Rachel makes the case that Speed truly is a Classic Movie, Live!
