The Fast Saga is continuing in two strands, you can now enjoy F9 in the cinema, but this podcast is reuniting two titans, Andrew and Johnny, to deal with one last mission: Talking spin-offs. How many pages of notes can be written on this adventure? Who gets the best insults? Will special guest Sarah delve into the madness of the family timeline, or will sense finally prevail? Nothing will be revealed!
FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 08 - THE F8 OF THE FURIOUS (WITH KATIE SMITH-WONG)
It’s time to split the family up, as the Fate turns Dom against Letty, Roman, Tej, Hobbs, Ramsey and DECKARD SHAW?!? Yup, bad guys is family now. Joining us is film writer Katie Smith-Wong to unpack a film full of submarines, zombie cars and TWO Academy Award winning actresses, yet no Corona in sight.
FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 07 - FURIOUS 7 (WITH IAN LORING)
A mega-sode dealing with the epic events of Dom, Brian, Roman, Tej, Letty, Mia, Ramsey, Mr. nobody and Han’s threat from the Shaw family’s older brother, Jason Statham. Film Basterds podcast host Ian Loring tangents the discussion with pivoting race-start women, was Roman of any use in Fast 5, and we all finally dig deep into the TIMELINE OF THE FRANCHISE properly.
We also tackle the Fast And Furious Supercharged Universal Studios ride/experience, which happens sometime between Furious 6 and… Furious 6?
FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 05 - FAST FIVE (WITH BRADLEY PORTER)
We welcome a new member of the family with filmmaker Bradley Porter, who kindly actually drives during a conversation on the epic Avengers-style Fast And Furious Family Team-Up movie, whilst discussing Netflix’s creative control problems and how many punches it takes for Vin Diesel to smash Dwayne Johnson through a wall.
This is when the franchise goes from Mission: Impossible to Mission: In-Freaking-Sanity
FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 03 - THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT
Justin Lin and Chris Morgan are joining the family, and it’s an all-Han experience, Sung Kang’s stunning floppy hair, movie star aura and thrilling stunt work. Handling the technology of 2006 that technically is in 2015 when Furious 7 came out becomes quite confusing, but it’s easier than comprehending the career of Lucas Black, definite teenager. Drift through this installment and laugh with your favourite family.
233 - BE COOL
It’s the sequel to Get Shorty and we’re in a post-Snyder Cut world, what could go wrong? We love music, we love cinema, one of us loves the last time Travolta and Thurman danced together, this should be a lay-up.
Why does the return of Chili Palmer not work, and how much Aerosmith is allowed before things stop being cool? It’s a rough watch, and we try to make the most of it.
224 - SOUTHLAND TALES - THE CANNES CUT
Here we go, the one everyone’s been demanding. Andrew discovered that Universal has had the Cannes Cut of the iconic sci-fi apocalypse comedy satire on iTunes for a while, and as the Arrow blu ray release comes closer, it’s time to show Johnny not only Southland Tales, but the 160 minute thicker version, with less exposition and more comic asides. Johnny is not on board, but Andrew’s new twin Aaron seems happy with the situation, and offers an option to make the world end.
MINI-SERIES - FAST FRIDAYS - A PROLOGUE
Andrew announces a new mini-series in the Corona-infested world of action, family and turning enemies into friends.
Will he discover how the virus spread? What happened to John Cena? Why drop almost every letter in the titles for the 9th (or 10th) movie?
Begun, the adventure has.
086 - DOOM
We end video game month with a film even Dwayne Johnson hates, so naturally we all pretend to enjoy it for a second before admitting this whole month has been just the worst. Welcome to hell.
038 - THE ROCK
It's time for everyone's Cage-pressions to descend on Alcatraz as we prepare for (Michael) Baywatch starring Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson in this themed episode.
