261 - THE IRON GIANT

Vin Diesel returns to the podcast to talk guns and ships, and so the balance shifts. Johnny prepares for a holiday by watching a modern childrens’ classic, Andrew coming back from holidays trying to remember film information, and also a nice tangent on Space Jam, because it’s always gonna be a part of us now.

252 - DAY WATCH

Johnny is forced back into the fantasy lore of Russian trilogy-turned-two-film-franchise Nochnoy Dozor, and he’s being at his best behaviour, but will he last the 2 hour follow-up? Andrew discusses the death of cinema, at least as he waves goodbye to a Cineworld Unlimited card, and the Comic Con hunt for a DVD of Day Watch in 2006.

FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 09 - FAST AND FURIOUS PRESENTS: HOBBS AND SHAW (WITH SARAH O'CONNELL)

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 06 - FURIOUS 6 (WITH JOE CUNNINGHAM)

London Calling for the Family on the exciting crew-versus-crew showdown blockbuster, and we’re joined with Furious 6 ultra-fan Joe Cunningham (Cinematic Universe podcast) to drive the extended runway of plot beats, Rock/Vin feuding, LA-based detours and which characters get less to deal with in the long run. Grab a corona once again and put pedal to the metal for this final Chris Morgan/Justin Lin family action movie.

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 04 - FAST AND FURIOUS

The family is coming back together with the 4th installment in the Fast Saga, and along with it Vin Diesel’s short film prologue Los Bandoleros is on the viewing order of the week. It’s time to discuss Dominic Toretto’s Will Graham-level crime scene envisioning, casting John Ortiz in a film that’s actively redoing the Miami Vice movie and the podracing vibe from a tunnel-based car chase sequence. Also, welcome to the franchise Gal Gadot!

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.

FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 02 - 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS

It’s time to hit Miami in John Singleton’s installment of the Fast Franchise, and we’re walking Mark Boone Junior rat torture, houseboats, Tej’s hair and old school graphics. What happens when a studio tries to sequalise something without clear direction or the franchise? How, in the long run, will this film live out its legacy? Will Tyrese’s character find footing before the end credits?

FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 01 - THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS

VROOM VROOM! It’s family time, and we’re commencing the saga-pod-special with Rob Cohen’s 2001 Point Break opening film, where Paul Waker and Vin Diesel bro out, drink Corona and have a backyard barbecue like no other. We discuss hair length, the Cars universe, Vin’s second single and possible rumours of the 9th film as we look back at the franchise’s humble beginnings,

FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 0.0 - LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN

Almost a year ago we started a journey that did not go far, in fact the only released episode before the collapse of the world was a prologue to inform listeners of the journey. Like some Sisyphian podcasters, we’re pushing the boulder back up the hill this year and intend to cover all 9 Fast & Furious features released, once a week, in the build-up to F9: The Fast Saga, but this time there’s some new twists, and more understanding on the link between Dom’s Coronas and the horrendous nightmare year of pandemic that has taken so much from so many. COMEDY SHOW! Well, strap in, we’re doing this until Universal delay the film again.
