2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast

It's wedding season, so we're taking a three-week #2F2F Commentary interlude. After recording commentaries for the first three movies way back in Lap 11, we're continuing our journey through the franchise with the next three installments. Our final commentary, for now: Fast & Furious 6! Even though we've covered this movie fifteen times already before, there's still plenty to talk about. If you want to watch along, we'll queue you in at the top of the movie, so load up Fast & Furious 6 (in whatever form you can watch it), sync up when and where we say, then sit back and enjoy the ride!

We're closing out our "Oops, We Should Have Covered This Already!" lap and welcoming in Lap 16 in our mechanic-prescribed Lap 15 Tune-Up. With no lap-long guest this lap (or next lap), and no Patreon sponsor of either lap, our tune-up is quicker than normal -- that's probably good news for a car, right? -- as we look back at the lap that was and announce next lap's theme.

We're back with our final Life in the Fast Lane for Lap 15, and it features one of my favorite brothers in the world! We kick off, as usual, with the Tokyo Drift Minute (#22), which is the type of minute we've been "fearing" (but it turns out okay!) and wherein Joey explores who Toshi is. We Run the VIN, where we find that Vin's Fast family is also hyping things up in his Instagram comments and where a screenshot Joey took uncovers a vastly different birthday post to Paul Walker. (How many Vinstagrams will we return to in the next Fast Lane? We worry.) Then, in On the Streets... Vin Diesel manifested one of his movies! Also: why is NBCUniversal bad-mouthing sending F9 to space? (More specifically: why now?) We open an overflowing mailbag. Joey shares news about Radiohead and navigating the depths of Danish Ticketmaster. We hear big news from the listeners, get the record set straight on Planet X, and discuss how Fast X breaks action movie protocol. We catch up on recently skipped segments (the Fast X Goof Troop and the Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 Letterboxd game), talk about the first two weeks of the NFL season, and discuss some movies, some concerts, and some other live events.

We welcome back our in-house MCU experts, Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse, to talk about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2! Will it hold up in an era of superhero burnout? Will Nico and Kevo like it more than they did when they covered it for mcu.html? We find out! After Nico takes James Gunn down a peg, we compare this Guardians film to Superman (2025), talk about the issues with Yondu redemption, and compare the Fast Family to the Guardians with regards to how they approach working together (and being a found family). We ask for insights about Planet X. Nico compares this movie to Final Fantasy VIII. Kevo explains the problem with Adam Warlock. There's lots of Fleetwood Mac talk, for some reason. Nico points out the vehicality of this film.

It's time for Life in the Fast Lane, Tokyo Drift Minute 21, and a deep dive into Bow Wow... and Frankie Muniz? After reviewing a surprisingly low amount of Vinstagrams -- Effort, is on you... -- we uncover a wild fact about Planet X that shakes us to our cores. We discuss the reception to The Smashing Machine in Venice, what hours Cha Cha Cha is open, and the most troubling scene in Tokyo Drift when you factor in in the franchise's retcon. In Extracurricular Activities, we talk about reality TV, Barbarian (and other horror movies), and Silksong. Joe imagines what it would be like to talk to Vin Diesel.

We are welcoming Emily Slade to the show to chat about Fast X. Important to note: she's never seen a single Fast & Furious... until now! After finding out why she hadn't seen any before joining us to cover Fast X, we get her initial thoughts and whether or not she enjoyed being thrown into the deep end. She talks about her surprise that this movie passes the Bechdel test and her worry about the potential damage of Momoa's portrayal of Dante in this film. How much longer do we have with this current cast? We discuss. Emily shares her brush with Fast & Furious in the Universal backlot. We talk about whether the streets of Los Angeles want the Fast and Furious back, whether Dante kill Baby B in the finale, and who she'd like to see (outside of the franchise) in the next Fast film.

It's Life in the Fast Lane Time, and we're kicking things off with Tokyo Drift Minute 20 and a newfound respect for Twinkie. After talking about the wares he has for sale, Joe takes a Hostess snack cake quiz. We then check in on Vin Diesel's Instagram and find that he has cooled (way) off since our last check-in. Are we going to be in Sung Kang's next movie? Maybe! (Probably not.) We review the F9 goofs, where quality control is becoming an issue (but no one seems to care about 1989 vs. 1999 like we do). We talk (briefly, spoiler-free) about Zach Cregger's new film Weapons, try to break down the casting Venn diagram of the new dating show "Are You My First?", and talk about the new seasons of Hard Knocks and Quarterback.

Fan favorite Garrett Smith returns to the podcast to talk about Sylvester Stallone, Sung Kang, and Jason Momoa in Walter Hill's Bullet to the Head! After talking about "hard" Stallone vs. "soft" Stallone, Garrett lends some much-needed Walter Hill-related context. We try to make sense of the tone of this movie and what it's trying to do, before asking: is Bullet to the Head funny? Is it racist? Is it the racism that's supposed to be funny? Is it actually anti-racist? We explore the not very New Orleans vibes, the near-total lack of surprise in plot and reveals, and whether or not masquerade parties actually look like this. Joe revives a long-dormant 2F2F question.

We're back for another Life in the Fast Lane, and what could be better? Europe in the Summer. What a Beautiful Place. We kick things off with the Tokyo Drift Minute, wherein Joe explains Japanese high school lunch service. Then, in a shocking turn of events, we re-order the Fast Lane agenda (again) to move right into Running the VIN as we enter every gym Vin Diesel has visited over the past two weeks. We guess Vin Diesel's net worth and wonder if Fast and Furious is connected to Nightmare on Elm Street. Is Kojak happening? We lay our bets on it (and all of Vin's upcoming films). We get a huge update for our shop! What does a Fast and Furious movie straight from Vin Diesel's brain look like? We dream about the possibility. Joe shares a theory he's working on about the Finger Lakes and a time he worked with the cops. We talk about Joey's bachelor party and offer a bounty for our Ohio listeners.

We’re heading to Montequinto and Edinburgh (and a few places in between) to talk about F9 with Dr. Alicia Kozma! After Alicia tells us about her academic approach to F&F (and how she uses it in her teaching and programming work), we learn about her introduction to the Fast and the Furious, and we get a new style/form of rankings. Joey teases a series of upcoming laps we may (or may not) do, we talk about F9’s confusing title, and reminisce about why it holds a special place in each of our hearts (as well as why it makes far more sense as a 2021 release than a 2020 release). At what point did the franchise pivot to overstuffing its movies? We discuss, and we also talk about if F9 addresses Hobbs & Shaw’s biggest flaw. (A great link here for related reading.) Will we have another unofficial F&F sequel in Fast 11? What is the current state of Brian in the franchise today? What element did Alicia want more of in F9? We find out!

It's time for another Life in the Fast Lane, and we're talking about Family Vacations with My Brother, The GOAT, Michael Jordan! First, though: a Tokyo Drift Minute with a transition to Sean at school (and a new actress whose filmography we can explore). While there's no real news, Vin continues to post through it. As we Run the VIN (happy birthday, Vin, btw!), we have our big question from last Fast Lane answered, we discover a new name for Dos Bandoleros (we're getting closer!), and we learn that we've lost a crucial resource for this segment. Does Vin Diesel know how to read Instagram comments? We debate. What's clear, though: he's still in Kojak and Riddick mode. We then cover the Hobbs & Shaw IMDb goofs, including one demonstrating a total waste of time for everyone involved. Is Sean's dad stealing valor? We explore. Plus: how long were Sean's parents together? We debate. We also talk about spending time with our moms.

We're finally talking about Southland Tales, the first-ever Dwayne Johnson (not "The Rock") movie, and we're joined by Resident Historian Mike Manzi! After trying to parse the dense and complicated narrative in this movie, we talk about the critical reaction to the film as well as why this doesn't feel like a bomb/spectacular failure. Mike talks about the graphic novel accompaniments for this movie, we all explore the prescience of this movie, and Joey shares the wild backstory of Freddie Prinze, Jr. (and his ties to this movie). What kind of filmmaker could make a movie like this? We discuss. We also heap praise on Sarah Michelle Gellar and wonder: does Francis Ford Coppola love this movie?

It's Life in the Fast Lane! Welcome to the Fast & The Shirtless: my thespian father just loves the chemistry. (It'll all make sense in time, or not.) In our Tokyo Drift Minute, we finally get to Noodle Grandma -- but leave with mysteries and AI hallucinations. We cover lots of news, including the biggest Fast and Furious news in months: Vin Diesel's three conditions to release Fast X Part 2 in April 2027, which (in a roundabout way) leads Joey to seed the idea for a very ambitious F&F editing project. We review a perhaps record-breaking number of posts as we Run the VIN, and we dip our toe into International Rome-ing for the first time. Who is Vin's 18-year-old son? Vin shares some deep-seeded lore about why he wants to portray Kojak. What is Mark and Maurice? Why is Vin is all-in on Kojak right now? Jerry writes in about Fast Five, which makes us wonder: does Dom always have a secret side quest? We talk about F1.

We’re returning to the Fastiverse’s side story, Hobbs & Shaw, and we’re bringing Ross Benes (1999: The Year Low Culture Conquered America and Kickstarted Our Bizarre Times) along to talk about it! We ask how he defines “low culture” in his book, then ask the hard-hitting question: is Fast and Furious low culture? Ross shares his abbreviated history with the franchise. Joe asks: what would the reaction to Hobbs & Shaw have been if it weren’t tied to the franchise? Ross unknowingly relates this movie to TV shows near and dear to both of our hearts. We talk about how the movie does a really good job of opening with action tied to the plot and finally land on a good idea of why Hobbs may be into Hattie. Ross tells us about a truly wild store in New York: Mystery Bins.

It’s time for another Life in the Fast Lane, featuring the Three-Time Undisputed Optimistic Theatrical Experience Champion! After a very uneventful Tokyo Drift minute, we work our way through lots of news, which is mostly tangential to the franchise, including: some cool YouTube videos, upcoming movies starring the Family, and a weird takedown by Collider. Did we scare Vin Diesel off from posting on Instagram? We examine the possibility. Joe pitches a new idea for the Letty-led spinoff movie. Speaking of Letty, we discuss whether we should put her into our Hall of Fame as a legacy option as well as whether or not we’ll get a Race Wars scene in Fast 11. Wes writes in a classic Wes email that teases Patreon content (via a conversation in front of the paywall, gasp!), hypothesizes a legendary Fast & Furious Blu-ray box set, and pitches the ultimate Vin Diesel crossover film. Joe talks about going to the Montreal Grand Prix for his birthday. Joey pitches a trash TV show to Joe (for perhaps the first and last time) and offers some under-the-radar summertime horror movie recommendations.

Happy Fastivus! For the third year in a row, we celebrate the date that marks the release of the original The Fast and the Furious. Shoutout to Reaction Rocket for creating the holiday -- and for getting retweeted by Ludacris! After quick recapping the rules for the Fast and Furious Hall of Fame ballot and voting process, we recap the enshrined inductees before revealing this year's results. Joey pitches an idea for a new category for next year's voting and Joe predicts where we'll be next Fastivus.

Shout-out to the 412 — we’re covering Striking Distance this week in honor of Pittsburgh. After finally explaining the pick and why we’re covering it now, Joe reviews the movie’s Pittsburgh bona fides. We discuss Bruce Willis as Tom Hardy, Sarah Jessica Parker as “a baddie,” and Tom Sizemore as the film’s most egregious red herring. We break down the elements here that work (and the ones that don’t), the tumultuous making of this movie, and the killer’s illogical frame job on Bruce Willis. We try to make sense of the silly twists and turns in its final act and the film’s many red herrings and misdirects. Joe laments something we’ve lost in modern action movies. Joey notices a reckless disregard for the toxic nature of Pittsburgh river water. We watch the misleading trailer for Striking Distance and stumble across a really bad movie. Who’s the best cop now?

It's time for a ... Great Value Theatrical Experience ... in Life in the Fast Lane #49! We start off by discussing Tokyo Drift's fifteenth minute, with a deep dive into "Woman at Boswell's Apartment," played by Yoko Maki. We then move on to the news, including: is Fast X Part 2 actually about to start filming? The Rock is teaming up with A24 once again; who gets more from this partnership? We talk about some early reactions to Joseph Kosinski's F1, then Run the Vin to ask: did Vin steal some of Nico's verbiage? What does Vin Diesel think *we* think about Fast & Furious vs. Mission: Impossible? Is there a Vin Diesel "panic button" at the security gate at Universal Studios? Joe sets betting odds on the next F&F movie that will be released, but if it's Dos Bandoleros... where will we be able to see it? We review the IMDb goofs for The Fate of the Furious, which is perhaps our nerdiest batch yet. Who's on the submarine with Gisele? We get rankings -- and a brand new take on No Knees Denise! -- from a new listener. We talk (spoiler-free) about The Rehearsal's second season, BBQs, and movies in theaters.
