Melbourne and Canada, we got exciting news for you.
And we should also say this is 2026.
Jess, what year is it?
2026.
Thank God you're here.
Right now, I'm in Melbourne doing my show with Serenji Amarna 630 each night at the Cooper's Inn Hotel, having so much fun.
We'd love to see you there.
Canada, we are visiting you in September this year.
If you've somehow missed the news, we are heading up Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Toronto for shows.
That's going to be so much fun.
Tickets for all this stuff, I believe, are online.
And I'm here too.
Hello and welcome to another episode of Do Go One.
My name is Dave Warnocky and as always I'm here with Jess Perkins and Matt Stewart.
Hello Dave, Dave, hey Jess.
How good is it to be alive?
Stop trying to make that your catchphrase.
And it is great to be alive because this week we are joined by a very special guest,
our dear friend, Michelle Brazier.
It's good to be alive.
It's my catchphrase.
Oh no.
You're welcome to it, honestly.
Thank you so much.
It actually really works for me.
Michelle. You've got a real zest for life.
Yeah, thanks. People stop me in the street. They go, say it, say it. And I go, oh, how good's it to be alive?
And they go, she said it. They want me to film it for their Instagram story.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, say that website is cameo.com. Check me out.
$500 a pop. I will say how good is it to be a lot.
$500 is, that's pretty good.
Are you on cameo?
That is.
Are you? Are you? They asked me, they send me an email and they said, do you want to go on cameo?
And I said, I don't know. I talked to some of my friends.
they say don't do it Michelle
You're better than that
But then whenever somebody
When ever somebody
Don't stupid
Whenever someone messages me
And says
Oh my brother's sick
And he likes you
It's my friend's birthday
Then I'll just make a video for free
Like a fucking chump
You idiot
I should get on cameo
If you're already doing it
Yeah
You know
Because how do you say no
How do you go
Oh
No
No I don't care about your sick brother
That's how you do it easy
That's what I do.
But that's not my brand.
Like I care.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
And I'm a rude dude.
Everyone knows.
Everyone knows.
Jess Perkins, rude dude.
She doesn't give no shits.
You were banned from Cameo for offending their clientele.
I said for 50 bucks, I'll tell you to fuck off.
I'll do it for free.
Look, if you are desperate to give us money in exchange for seeing us, you can do that in person.
All of us sitting at this table recording this podcast.
because we've got some shows coming up at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.
Our quiz show on Monday nights at the Melbourne Town Hall is selling like moderately good hotcakes.
Yeah.
Like hotcakes where people go, it's like a food truck at some sort of festival and people go,
oh, you got some of those hotcakes, are they good?
And you go, yeah, they're pretty good.
The saying never mentions the quality of the hotcakes.
It just sell, like just, I think it just means hotcakes sell.
I don't know what they are, but.
Pancakes.
Oh, now I understand that saying.
Man, I want to go buy some hot cakes right now
That's what hot cakes and pancakes
What did you think it was like a cake
Like a chocolate cake
Straight out of the oven
Like a melting chocolate cake
Oh maybe it is that
I don't know
Listen, hey
Your thing makes way more sense
I thought they were
Yeah pancakes
pancakes
Anyway
Dave did a beautiful segue
And we fucked to me
We've derailed that
Yeah
So that show is at the town hall
April 4 11 and 18
And thank you so much everyone
That has bought tickets
And we are very pleased to announce
So we are also around
at the same time, decided that we're also going to do some live podcasts.
Some live do go on shows.
So that's the quiz show with us and guests, which is going to be a lot of fun.
But the live podcast, we're doing those on Sunday nights at the European Beer Cafe.
Tickets are on sale now.
And I believe it is 845 is the time, I believe.
I think so.
You booked it, Dave.
We have no idea.
As we've discovered, my Google calendar is very overwhelming.
So that's April 3, 10, 17, and 24.
at the European Beer Cafe, just like usual.
We're going to do some live podcasts.
You can buy a season pass for a discount where you get four shows for the price of three.
And you can hit up our website.
Do Go OnPod.com or this ticket link in the show notes, which would love to see you there.
And Michelle, people can see you at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, hitting up the big stage.
Oh, yeah, look out.
It's a, I tell you what, it is quite a big, a big bit of pressure to be putting me on that stage, isn't it?
Nah, no worries.
Yeah, no, I'm performing at the Art Centre.
That's so cool.
It's very hoity-toity and very, it's very exciting.
I loved the arts.
When I first moved to Melbourne, I was like, I'm obsessed.
I lived across from the stage door and I was like, let me in.
Let me be in gauze and dolls.
Let me in.
Now they're letting you in.
Yeah, now they let me in.
So I'm very excited.
I bet you didn't open with that story, though, did you when you were booking the venue.
I said to my manager, I said, if they're not interested at first,
let them know there's a great story behind this.
I just stand by the door and say,
let me.
They're like, oh, we do know her, actually.
She's not supposed to come here.
We had a picture of her up in the staff room.
And that's the picture that they're using for the poster.
Beautiful.
For my new show, yeah.
I'm very excited.
It's just, um, fire as...
New show's called Don't Let Her In.
It's got a big cross through your face.
Yeah, it's an interactive piece where the staff try and fight me away
and dunk me in.
out the front of the National Gallery of Victoria Little Pool that they've got there.
What is the show actually called?
It's called Reform.
So I'm touring in Melbourne, I'm doing Reform and then in a bunch of other places I'm still
doing Average Bear from last year, which was award-winning and definitely good.
This year, it's not finished yet, but it will be good.
It's about getting scammed by a guy online and then becoming his best friend.
And yes, it is a true story.
And I have been speaking to a therapist.
Yes, but has he?
No, he's been speaking to me.
That's the whole point.
It's the whole point.
Which is good for the show.
If you were talking to a therapist, you wouldn't have any of that material.
No, because if I was a certified therapist, you see, I'd have to keep it all to myself.
But because I'm not, I'm exploited.
Who's exploiting who?
Yes, he scammed me and took my money.
But how much is, you know, in ticket sales, I'm going to recoup.
Now, technically, that's research.
And that is tax deductible.
It's tax deductible.
That's exactly right.
So the amount that he's ripped you of,
you will actually be able to claim that.
Yeah, that's fantastic.
So that's good news for you.
Good news.
And one other show that people might have forgotten to mention as well.
Dave,
I know Dave's personally excited about it.
It's a show I'm doing with Alcette Trombo Virtual called
Honk honk,
thank you.
Haba,
Humber, ring a ding ding ding.
Thank you.
I don't know why that is so hard to remember.
Hong Kong, hubber, Humber, ring a ding, ding.
Yeah.
It is possibly the best title of the festival.
That is the best title of the festival, absolutely.
It's on the second half of the festival
I can't remember the venue
But the link is
He just gave me shit for the time
The show notes I think
And if you look
You just go for all these shows
Go to comedy festival.com.com
And search them
Apart from our live podcast
Which
I think we left it too late
To get in this year
So
It's Bard's Apothecary
That's where I'm on
Which sounds like a magic shop
I'm on at Bard's Apothecary
The first he's heard of it
Yeah.
That sounds great.
It's got nine five-star reviews.
It sounds like if any that was set up by the guy that Michelle's been chatting to online.
Yeah.
That does not exist.
How much did you pay for it?
I've never heard those words together before.
Has Bard asked you to be his emergency contact?
Because I think this is a similar story.
I'm looking forward to that.
That sounds great.
Apocatheri.
Is that right?
Yeah, that's absolutely right.
That's like an old-time.
That's an old-timey pharmacy, isn't it?
Yes, yeah.
Bard, that's Shakespeare.
This place sounds like it's going to be full of cool people.
So I'm looking forward to getting there.
Good morrow, sir.
May I interest thee in a ticket today?
Anyway, so we've gone on a massive sidetrack.
I think before we go on, I would say the coolest people in the world,
I reckon are the people going to have tickets to all of those shows.
Oh, collect them all.
Imagine getting bingo.
Yeah.
Actually, do you know what?
If you can prove to me via Instagram,
Instagram that you got bingo, I will make a video for your sick brother.
Wow.
You meet them at the stage stool.
Yeah.
If you don't have a sick brother.
And I say, fuck you.
That's fun.
Nah, I would never.
I would never be mean.
Dave, Michelle hasn't been on before.
She might not fully understand how the show.
I'm always on this podcast.
Oh my God.
I'm on this podcast every single week.
Well, in that case, you want to explain it for me, Dave, because I've forgotten.
Yeah, we usually, for the first.
for the first time we've turned Michelle's mic on.
You say,
how is he?
Great to have you actually talking this week.
But what we do here, Matt,
is we take it in terms to report on a topic,
often suggested to us by one of the listeners.
That person goes away, does a bit of research,
brings it back to the group in the form of a report.
The other three, as it is this week,
will sit politely as Michelle regales us with a report.
And to get us onto your topic, Michelle,
we always start with a question.
Yes.
Do you have a question?
I do.
Okay, what billion dollar franchise has just announced Jason Mamoa will be joining?
Harry Potter?
No, Dave.
Dave?
No, Dave.
Are you Dave or are you Matt?
Oh, Matt.
A lot of people do get confused.
No, Matt.
Not normally when they're in the room with us, but...
Does it ever happen when they're friends with you in real life?
Does that ever happen?
Yeah, no, it probably does.
Yeah.
I'm not good with names or faces, so I understand.
Or film franchises as it turns out.
Harry Potter.
Yeah, no, it's Harry Potter.
He could be a cool wizard.
Some of them had long hair.
And they're doing the prequels with the things.
Oh, so he could be like Hagrid's hot dad.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, they're doing, what's the prequel?
About the guy with a big bag of dogs?
Oh, what?
There's a prequel where the guy's got a big bag of magical dogs and stuff.
Okay, yeah, I know what you're talking about.
Do you?
I do know exactly what you're talking about.
Please help me out then.
I don't know what you're talking about.
The magical creatures and he's got the little guy.
Fantastic beats.
Fantastic beats and where to find them.
And then the crimes of Grindulvold.
Yes.
And then Dumbledore's origin story.
No.
Okay.
Great.
This is a good use of time, though.
Don't cut there.
I don't know is that.
Well, I think I want to know the answer.
Okay, go for it.
Okay.
No, wait.
We got an email from one of our listeners,
the one who always keeps track of who has won.
Yeah.
And he's broken it down into each year,
and I've only won in 2017.
Really?
Well, good luck because it's...
Fast and furious down!
I was going to get in there!
What I was going to say is I really need to start actually jumping in
when I know the answer.
Also, Jess has been on the show the last two weeks.
Yeah, I need this.
Jason Mamo is going to be, yeah, right.
Because didn't the rock, he doesn't like Vin Diesel.
Well, we will get into that.
We will get into that.
Probably in a few hours time.
In a couple of hours.
This is quite a big franchise.
And I just, I don't know the story at all, but I just naturally feel like the rock's probably
in the right.
Honestly, I don't know.
I feel like my dad's are fighting and I don't know what to do about it.
Yeah, it's hard.
I'm finding it really difficult.
I'm sorry, you're going for the challenging time.
Thank you.
That wasn't me judging.
Vin Diesel at all. I don't know anything about it. Just the rock seems like a nice, like a nice man.
Such a, yeah, he's an every dad. He's everyone's dad. Yeah. Yeah. I love my dad. Yeah. I love my dad the rock.
It's hard. Dwayne the dad Johnson.
Yeah. If anybody who doesn't know this, you, Michelle, are a big, big fan of the Fast and Furious franchise.
Yeah. So I've just been bothering you guys for a bit saying, can I come on and do the Fast and
furious. Well, that's a good clue. What? You weren't saying that to me. Yeah, no, I should
have asked you. Sorry. That would have really helped me with my guess. I wouldn't have wasted
our time on Harry Potter before. Yeah, I'm really sorry about that. I'm sorry, Matt. I just thought
the Vin Diesel and the Rock, they have both played weird. You don't have to say that for
Vin Diesel. Okay, so. If you think Diesel and Rock, they both were in kids' movies where they played
like one played a fairy godmother and another one one played like a pacifier yeah yeah is that a
coincidence that come up in the report it doesn't come up in the report so i'm glad you've covered it okay
yeah because people would be too fearing the i think the rock plays a tooth fairy yeah and i think
the bin diesel plays a babysitter yep they're not it's not as closely tied together as i thought
it was no i think he did really good there but they're both kids movies with action stars yeah
Arnold Schwarzenegger started it with kindergarten cop.
I would say their movies for the family,
not even just kids can watch them.
Grownups can enjoy them.
Yeah, The Rock could take us to go see the Pacifier on a family day out.
Yeah, I love that from The Rock, my dad.
But anyway, yeah, there is a lot to this franchise.
There is a lot.
And you're obviously very passionate as well.
And you have told us you've written a lot.
I've written so much.
So this is mostly just me trying to get you all up to speed.
Okay.
You, my friends, so that you will come to the cinema
and watch Fast 10, Fast 10 Your Seatbelts.
No.
Is that what they've gone with?
No, but I'm really hoping that you will.
Oh my God, that's so good.
It's not official, but I'm sure it will,
I'm sure it will be called Fast 10 Your Seatbelts.
And if not, they know where to find me.
They know where to find my agent.
They're definitely going to go with like Fast X or something, aren't they?
Yeah.
I don't think so.
And the problem is not those guys don't make seat belts.
They're better than bar.
They do wear seat belts sometimes.
Sometimes.
Clever.
Better than none.
Yeah.
They've got, you know, there's a lot going on.
There's safety.
It's, you know.
Yeah.
You take the risks you need to take.
But yeah, so this is, I'm just going to tell you guys, basically everything that happens
in every goddamn movie.
And then I'm going to tell you a little bit about that movie, but it's mostly just me retelling
the movies.
So if you haven't seen the movies, this is going to be great.
Yeah.
If you have seen the movies, I'm not sure if you'll enjoy this or not.
I reckon you probably still will.
Well, I read the like plot recaps on Wikipedia.
and they're rubbish.
I did use some of them.
Yeah.
But they don't even talk about the fun bits.
So there's a lot of like boring.
You can tell when I get excited in this report, I think.
That's so cool that you found that website at Wikipedia.org.
I heard it for listening to the podcast.
Oh, right.
Because I only, yeah, I just only found it in recent weeks.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
It's incredible.
It just has everything you need to know about the fast and the furious franchise.
Yeah.
Well, when you said on the podcast and I was sitting in the corner,
while we were all recording my podcast.
My mic was off, but you wouldn't have heard me.
I was actually screaming at my iPod.
I love this website.
Wow.
That's why it doesn't record as well,
because I've just been screaming at my iPod.
I haven't had a full microphone too now.
I'm having all these flashbacks to previous recording sessions.
And these, like, in the corner of my memories,
there's you sitting there, crouched in the corner.
The little gremlin.
I never noticed before.
Yeah, she's there. She's always been there.
I've always been there.
No one remembers when they met me.
Oh my God, I don't think I do remember when I met you.
No one actually does, usually.
They're always like, I've known you forever.
I'm like, no, I grew up in Wogger.
You didn't know me.
I was not at the fall.
Yeah.
Yeah, you were the prom queen?
No.
No, thank you.
Was in Wogger?
Were you there for my birth?
I think you were there for my birth.
I was there for that.
How was it? I'll go to everyone's birth.
In the corner.
Yeah, in the corner.
A Gremlin.
Yelling at an iPod.
Anyway, please.
Okay.
All right.
So the Fast and the Furious, the first film, is based on an article called Racer X.
I love that it's based on.
On an article.
An article.
So it was greenlit before it had a script.
This was like an article.
And then they wanted to make it into a film and they were like, yes.
The studio was just like, yes, we'll make this into a film.
And then they had to write a script, which was like rare.
Yeah.
It's not, you know, an existing comic book.
It's literally just like this article.
And Racer X, I just want to say that they've gone with the X.
So if they do call it Fast Furious X, that is a throwback.
Yeah, maybe that would be good to call it Racer.
He'll call it Fast and the Furious in brackets Racer and then X.
Yeah.
That wouldn't be the most convoluted one they've had.
But what about Fast 10 your seatbelt?
It's really funny.
That's very good.
I loved Jason Mamoa in Fast Ten Your Seat belts.
At the very least, it's got to be like the,
you know, the catchphrase on the poster.
Yeah, yeah, Racer X.
Anyway, Racer X by Kenneth Lee,
which is published in Vibe magazine,
which we all know and love.
Love it.
In 1998, it's about a street racer from Washington Heights,
which sounds like a musical to me.
They should have made it.
He's a street racer, but he really wants to bake.
Yeah.
And then it's sort of like street racing culture in New York in general.
In the article, it talks about how this is a real melting pot of cultures.
So there's like people from the Dominican Republic.
There's Puerto Rican people, Chinese, Filipino, Italian.
It's a real cultural melting pot, which is very exciting.
It's reflected in the storytelling of the films,
which is actually very progressive and new for when this first film came out.
In the first film, I do say that.
A lot of the crew are white in the first film, but it changes.
And I will get to that because they die.
There is always a token white guy and maybe, you know, one or two women.
So it was ahead of the times.
That said, there are a lot of tiny girls in skirts at the races.
And to watch at the car races,
and to watch these films,
you can really see the evolution of what's attractive in a butt.
Yeah.
Like, you can see, like, what butts we liked then
and what butts we like now.
They should do one of those things where the butt just morphs as time goes on.
Yeah.
Change.
Well, I was thinking about not doing a report and just doing that.
Yeah.
All right, now look at this side show.
We don't upload a podcast this week.
It's just a short video and you go, I get it.
I actually get it.
Yeah.
Anyway, so it's about butts and it's a huge franchise that it starts as street racing cars and crime.
And then it really morphs into this kind of more large scale,
heist movies.
And there's a fun group of characters.
It's mostly about family.
Let's dive in.
Also, there is a 195 film that is.
also called the Fast and the Furious, not connected.
They just Universal made a deal and got the rights to the title.
They loved that title.
Yeah, they loved it.
It was going to be called something else that I didn't write down.
Unfortunately, I didn't write that down.
That's okay.
I can't tell you what it was.
Someone will be yelling at their iPod.
Someone will be yelling.
Oh, yeah, I do want to say, listen, a lot of this, a lot of the sources for this
are Wikipedia and just what I remember.
So I don't want you get mad at me.
Don't get mad at me.
I won't be able to cope with it.
Released in June 2001 and directed by Rob Cohen,
The Fast and The Furious Tell the Story of Brian O'Connor,
played by Paul Walker.
Heard of him?
Yep, yes, familiar.
His name was Brian O'Connor?
Brian O'Connor.
Brian, Brian.
Granddad's name, great name.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I love it.
Brian O'Connor.
Brian O'Connor.
Wow, that's cool.
Was Paul Walker, did he play your grandfather as well?
Yeah.
Oh, incredible.
Amazing.
What a weird coincidence.
He's always there, Paul Walker.
In the corner, like a gremlin.
A cop who goes undercover to bust a gang of illegal street races
helmed by Vincent Diesel's Dominic Toreto.
Dominic Toreto, even though obviously the Rock is all of our dad,
Dominic is really the daddy.
Toreto is the dad.
I might refer to him as Dom.
I might refer to him as Toreto.
I might refer to him as Vincent Diesel.
It's one man.
But never the Vin Diesel
Never Vince the diesel
Or the Vin Diesel
That can't be his real name right
Vin Diesel
I don't know
I don't know
I think so
I believe
I choose to believe
I'm much more of a moulder than a scully
I
I don't think it is his real name
And I also believe he has a twin
He does have a twin
Wouldn't that be weird
Yeah
But so does Paul Walker
Doesn't Paul Walker have it
No not twin
Yeah we'll get to that
We will get to that
Marks and Claire
What?
We should have know that.
His name is Mark Sinclair.
You idiot.
Why have you done this?
I hate it.
I don't want to know that either.
God.
Hi, Mark, nice to meet you.
What?
Mark Sinclair.
How do you do?
But imagine being like, that's Mark Sinclair.
We went to high school together and him being like, no, I'm called Vincent D.
Oh, man.
That's a real rebrand.
It's really funny.
You have to leave your life behind.
It's basically witness protection at that point.
Yeah.
You can't keep anyone.
No one's going to be like, Mark.
Vin.
Sorry, serious, diesel.
So funny.
Diesel.
But anyway, that's his name.
Okay.
And we've got to respect that.
You know the musician Diesel is showing music.
His name's Mark as well.
Is it?
Is there a connection?
What's going on?
What have we uncovered here?
Isn't his real name Mark Lazott?
I don't know.
But I think we've said too much.
And that brand, diesel, it was originally called Mark.
Careful, careful, careful.
I used to wear Mark jeans.
Diesel with jeans brand.
And I used to just put a guy named Mark into my car.
Throw him in the engine.
Pedal away, Mark.
It's great.
Speaking of cars, back to the report, Brian, Braun, falls in love with Toretto's sister, Mia.
Um, he falls in love with her, but he like turns up and eats her tuna sandwiches all the time.
And he's just eating these sandwiches.
And Dom's like, he turns up and eats her.
What?
I don't remember that.
Yeah, it's a cannibalism film or a horny one or a horny cannibalism film.
And I think it spans all genres.
It's beautiful.
Army Hammer is involved.
Yeah.
Heard about something about that this week.
All right.
This week you heard about that.
Yeah.
Okay.
That was a while ago.
I just told him about Omicron.
Okay.
So, don't worry.
about it.
I've got a lot of terms muted on Twitter.
Including cannibalism and army hammer.
Just in case it ever came up together.
So he's turning up just eating her tuna sandwiches.
Is she like locking the door?
What's the situation there, Mia?
No, she likes him.
She thinks that's cute.
But she's obviously like, I know my sandwiches are a bit shit.
Like, it's the milkshake that brings the boys to the yard.
And the milkshakes have changed over the years.
They have changed over the years.
So I think what people are looking for in milk is.
milkshakes has changed over the years.
And that's really,
a beautiful commentary.
You can see it.
Yeah.
Milkshakes used to be tiny.
Yeah.
Now, everyone's getting more milk sucked out of their straw to put into their milkshake.
It's amazing.
Beautiful.
Wouldn't believe it.
He's Kim Kardashian.
Anyway, she's responsible for a cultural movement.
Could have done the Kardashians, didn't.
And so he falls in love with Mia.
He soon finds himself sucked into this world of Dom Terrell.
fast cars and DVD player heists.
That's what he's undercover to find.
Who's taken these DVD players?
They're coming for trucks.
I think the first one,
and it might be one of the only ones I've seen and remember.
They're stealing DVDs,
but is it also DVD TV combos?
Yes, yes, and DVD VCR combos.
So there's a bunch of different ones.
You can see the boxes.
You can pause it and like zoom in and be like, oh.
Is it product placementy?
Like, is it pretty obvious?
Yeah, I mean, I can picture it pretty clearly, so they're muslin growing up for a while,
but I have to watch these films quite a bit.
Also, this franchise has a history of doing product placement without getting paid.
So, like, they always drink coronas, always drink Corona beers.
Yeah.
And they apparently just have not had a partnership with them.
I was trying to find the information about this.
And they just, and then inexplicably, in one film, they're drinking Budwisers,
And then they're back and they're like, well, as long as you're drinking a Corona.
And they're drinking Coronas again.
It's like a whole.
It's like Corona is like, you know how like New York City is a character in Sex and City.
Coronas are like a character and they're part of the family.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, DVD player heists.
Brian proves himself to Dom by taking part in a street race.
He narrowly comes second to Dom who uses Noss, which is also another character in the nitrous oxide, I think it's called.
Are they sponsored by NOS?
I would say so.
It's like a green thing that I don't know if it's magic or real.
And when they press the button, the car goes sort of on fire and quick.
Really fast, yeah.
Very quick.
Very fast.
Very furious.
When I was looking for a new secondhand car this time last year, I took on for a test drive.
And I was like, this is beautiful.
Love the sat nav.
Yep.
love the power steering.
Oh, beautiful.
One question, where is the Noss?
Where's the button for the Noss?
Yeah, where's your Noss button?
I know it's different in every car.
It is different in every car.
I can't see.
I figured out how to open the bonnet
and how to get the petrol thing open.
But where's the Noss button?
I've tried opening the top of the gear stick
for a little to find a little button.
Is there a trick to that?
Is it more of a twist rather than a flick up?
Yeah, it's tough when you can't find the Noss.
But Brian uses his Noss a bit too early,
which is embarrassing.
Finish this is a bit early.
And not everyone has.
He went early with the nuts.
We went early.
Went too hard, too early.
And so Dom wins.
Now, Brian has bet his car, which is the 10 second car.
And a 10 second car is a car that can do a quarter mile in less than 11 seconds.
Okay.
So he owes Dom his car because Dom wins, right?
But the cops turn up, break up the street chase.
Brian pulls up, saves Dom from the cops, and then he sort of wins his trust.
It's a big, epic car chase, one of the first ones that we ever see.
But now they've accidentally been car chased into Enemery, Enemery territory.
And our villain is Johnny Tran.
Johnny Tran and his gang blow up Brian's car, which is actually Dom's new car now because Don want it in the race.
And Dom iconically says, you owe me a 10 second car.
Now remember this.
This will come back.
Okay.
Too many times.
Walker or he says that to Dom Tran?
He says it to Paul Walker.
Johnny Tran blew up the car.
Dom is who he is.
So surely the guy blew up the car is the one who owes him a car.
Yeah, I don't see how that's Brian's problem.
I mean, Brian gave you the car.
I said, okay, fair, it's fair.
You were in the car.
And then your car got blown up and you said, you, previous owner, owe me another one.
That's not how it works.
But Paul, I think Paul Walker was still driving the car, but he did save Dom's life.
Yeah, okay.
So it's unclear.
But Dom's sort of, it's a bit of a joke.
Yeah.
You owe me your fucking life.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I think if he said that, then Don would be fair in saying,
E-Zap, mate.
I was just having a bit of a rib.
I've just been through something quite scary.
I deal with my trauma by having a joke.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry, I didn't get that.
I just, I have that.
Yeah.
I'm so sorry.
This is how I deal with my dog.
Takes things personally.
Oh.
Fuck, I'm also secretly a cop.
I've got a lot on on my plate.
What's going on in my head right now?
I've got to pretend to be this different guy.
Got a little tuner.
which is not anything like you.
I'm allergic.
I'm going to take an epipen with me
every time I go visit your sister.
Anyway, forget I said any of that.
Let's get back into the character.
Okay, I'm a criminal.
I'm a criminal.
Let's go and action.
We also meet Lettie in this film.
A big character, part of the family.
Dom's girlfriend,
played my Michelle Rodriguez,
who's part of the gang.
She's very good at driving,
and she's really surly.
She always looks really cross in this film.
She looks cross in every film.
Yeah.
She's just a cross-looking person.
Well, apparently she's been working on it.
She's done interviews and she said she's trying to like bring a bit more to the character of Letty than just her surliness.
What?
She's been working on it.
She's been working on it.
Yeah, she knows, okay?
Okay, great.
Well, perfect, as long as she knows.
And she's amazing.
Good for her.
It is good.
And that's all we can ask.
She's just listening to this podcast to try and enjoy a recap of all the movies she's been in.
She doesn't need to hear this from you.
I'm sure she has feedback for me.
And to that I say, fuck you.
So Michelle Rodriguez is like,
take,
refused a lot of roles in Hollywood
because she says she doesn't want to just play the girlfriend.
So in this film,
even though it's one of her first sort of big things,
she's definitely playing a girlfriend,
but she's also,
she drives and she's very active in the gang
and she, you know, steals the DVD players
and all the cool stuff.
Do we need to explain to younger listeners
what DVD players are?
No, Google it.
I don't care about you.
You've got so much life ahead of you.
You know what a DVD player.
is VHS I understand
might be a little more confusing but
laptop it's a laptop
yeah with Netflix on it
yeah
is that right
each movie's on its own portable disc
I don't think you need to explain what a DVD is
what's a disc how do you explain a disc to someone who doesn't know
like a coaster
like a coaster but big
it's like a coaster with a movie on it
kids all know coasters
yeah kids love coasters
Gen Z they love coasters
they love to protect their food
they love to protect their furniture
That's their main concern.
So Brian is slowly figuring out that this is definitely the gang that is stealing the DVD players.
He has infiltrated the correct gang.
He's walked into Dom's house and there's 50,000 DVD players.
He's like, I might be right.
Or he could be a hoarder.
Yeah, do you guys love movies or what?
How many movies you watch it one time during?
Yeah, Dom, are you a cinephile?
Yeah, and he is.
So jokes on him.
I just don't, I don't understand how people can do it.
go undercover like that and not feel real bad.
When they're making someone be their friend just to fuck them over?
Well, he's honestly really bad at it.
He's really bad at going undercover.
He goes undercover a bunch of times in these films and every time it goes wrong,
every single time.
And they keep being like, you're our best guy.
We've got to get you back in the FBI and put you back under cover.
And he's like, okay.
He just like joins whatever.
Like it's not, it doesn't work ever for him.
But good on him.
Good on him for being a loyal person not to the cops.
but to his family, La Familiar.
So Dom and Lettie and the gang go out for,
I'm not telling you the rest of the gang
because they sort of die and they're not very important.
There's one guy called Vince.
He comes back one time.
He's very boring.
He's another white guy.
Dom and Lettie and the gang go out for a big finale,
hijacking trucks carrying DVD players one more time.
Maybe even CD-ROMs, who knows.
Wow.
This is the big, this is the money one.
But no floppy discs.
No floppy discs.
That's silly.
Yeah, that would be silly.
Come on.
This is not.
What is this?
That's silly.
What is this?
Antitrust?
The movie with Ryan Philippe, where he's a hacker.
It's commonly known and a normal reference to make.
We all love it.
But Brian knows it's not safe now because the truck drivers have wised up
and now they've got guns.
Oh, no.
Yeah, you know how some women we walk with our keys between our fists?
So now because of Dom guns in every truck.
Between their fists.
Between their fingers.
Ready to go.
It's actually really hard.
That's so silly, they already have keys for the trucks.
Yeah, that's true.
They could just use the keys.
Just use the keys.
Well, you need the key to drive because it's always when the truck is driving.
Oh, that's a good point.
Yeah.
Get a second set of keys.
You could get a second set of keys.
But it's easy to get a gun in America.
And also, but if you're a truck driver and someone's going to steal your DVD players,
surely you're just going to go, all right.
DVD players.
I'm not going to risk my life.
Like how much is a DVD player?
Even in their prime, how expensive were they?
I think like $150.
I think they got pretty expensive.
I reckon they would have, like,
you could have got a real good quality one for $700.
And how was it better?
I don't know.
It probably would, if you paid for one that would, like, go VHS and DVD,
that would do one to the up, like, that would also record.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Oh, they'd be expensive.
The Blu-ray ones.
Yeah, blue-ray.
Did they ever have, like, the DVD version of a five disc changer?
So you could have five separate movies in there.
God, that'd be good.
And you can just go between them.
So if you wanted to watch the first.
Five Fast and the Furious movies, you wouldn't even have to get off the couch.
I'd love that.
Yeah, you would love that.
I would love that.
But now you don't have to get off the couch, mate.
That's true.
They auto play.
Yeah.
They just starts the next one.
They do auto play.
I stayed up after writing this report.
I stayed up until 1 a.m.
Because I was just like, I'm going to watch it again.
Just watched it again.
Tim was like, you finished?
I'm nearly finished.
Just checking something.
You go to bed.
I'll be in soon.
No, no, no, no.
So Brian knows it's safe because they've got guns now.
And Brian goes to Mia.
He's like, we've got to go get Dom.
And she's like, what's going on?
And he's like, I'm a cop.
And she's like, what?
And he's like, trust me.
And she's like, no, okay.
So women aren't very active in the first film.
Okay.
So her and Brian, they get in the car.
Vince, one of Dom's crew, the other guy, one of the white guys.
Very boring.
He's fine.
He's one of Dom's crew.
He's critically injured.
And Brian breaks his cover by calling him.
a police ambulance, which is the thing, I guess, a police ambulance helicopter in for him.
So he's like, he's going to die.
And he's like, officer down, rah, rah, in front of Dom.
And Dom's like, what the hell?
Everyone's like, whoa.
So there's a bit of a showdown where one of the crew, Jesse, who is actually the best.
I haven't talked about him very much.
He's a nerd.
But he dies.
He gets shot.
So don't worry about it.
He gets shot by Johnny Tran's crew.
Guys, I have just left so much out of this and there's so much to go.
Anyway, he gets shot by Johnny Tran's crew.
Brian and Dom take down Johnny Tran's crew as well as racing a train,
which is a normal thing to do.
And they totally...
What, did they just sort of...
Got sort of sidetracked and they were next to a train
and the train driver looked at him.
And they looked back at him and they're like, yeah, let's go for us.
And they'd drag.
It was more like when they do it on top gear and they see like one of them rides a bike
and one of them is in a car or one of them's on a train.
I see who gets their feet.
It was more of that.
It was one of a science experiment.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's like a train coming and they're like,
we can beat the train and they like jump across the train tracks just nearly miss,
you know,
getting hit by the train.
Those level crossings,
I tell you what,
we got to get rid of a,
we do need to get rid of it.
They're very dangerous.
It's taken a long time,
but, you know,
they're slowly,
was that in Melbourne?
Yeah,
because if that was built now,
a lot of them are gone now.
Yeah.
No,
you can see it was the one of the ones in Brunswick.
It's gone now.
Rest in peace.
And,
And, yeah, so they total Torreto's dad's car.
And now Dom needs to get away from the cop still because, obviously, you know, he's got caught.
But Brian is like, I owe you a 10 second car.
So Brian gives him his car so he can get away.
So Dom's on the run.
He runs away.
And Brian, obviously, is not allowed to be a cop anymore because of the crimes.
He flees to Miami where he becomes a street racer.
We don't actually see that in the film.
We see that instead in a little short film, first of the series.
there are a few,
called the turbocharged prelude for Too Fast Too Furious.
That's fun.
Yeah, so we just see him basically leave and go to Miami.
That feels ahead of its time or something,
like making like bonus web-only.
Yeah.
How were people watching it back then, though?
Did you have to buy the DVD?
Yeah, a DVD extra.
Right.
And then I think it was also released in cinemas at the same time as Too Fast, Too Furious
as a little pre-like, I guess when the trailers play.
Oh, yeah.
Because it only goes for like 10 minutes.
Yeah, so we just see what happens where he goes.
When does Nicholas Cage get into this?
He's got to get that Shelby.
Fast 10.
Right.
Yeah.
Fast in your seatbelt.
Yeah.
Okay, so fun facts.
Eminem was originally approached to play Bryant.
Oh, that makes sense.
Imagine Eminem, but he did 8 Mile instead.
Okay.
And that went pretty well for him.
That went pretty well.
Yeah, but does it have the 10th version of it coming up?
Yeah, exactly.
18th mile.
Yeah, there's no 8th mile.
15th mile.
I assume that's how it would go, right?
A tenth your seatbelt.
Is that work?
Honestly, I don't get the other one you were doing before.
Oh, God.
It was very successful.
Don't cut that.
It was very successful.
The budget was 38 million.
It made 207 million.
Wow.
Prior to filming,
Jordana Brewster, who plays Mia,
the sister and Brian's love interest,
the tuna.
The tuna gal.
and Michelle Rodriguez did not have driver's licenses,
which is very depressing.
But they took driving lessons during production,
and everyone went and did.
They drove Formula One stunt cars and learned how to drive.
That would be so fun.
It would be really, really cool.
I got to drive a Formula One car with a Formula One driver in an event.
What?
You got to drive it.
You would have really had to squeeze in the cockpit there.
Yeah, well, I...
Do you call them cockpits?
No, I...
Wait, let me...
Let me go back.
I drove, I did not drive a Formula One
car, I lied to you, I drove a Formula One driver and then he drove his car.
But I drove him in our car.
Oh no.
It was for an ad for the car, which is Renault.
It was in a Renault ad.
His name is Kevin Magnuson.
He's a proper guy.
Yeah.
And I got to drive.
I'd never heard of him at the time and lucky because I was like just being like,
oh, imagine if we had like, it was all improvised ad.
And I was like, imagine if we had like kids like,
If you were the mom and I was like, oh, I was a mom and you were the dad.
Like, just imagine, like, as a joke and, like, just had, like, funny banter with him.
And his whole thing was just being uncomfortable with me.
And, like, that was fine because English is not his first language and he's never met me.
And he was jet-lacked.
And it was so absurd.
And I, like, chased him around a Formula One track.
Like, it was amazing.
It was really, really fun.
And they let me crash the car.
Was that aired in Australia?
It was just on the internet.
Yeah, right.
I think you have to really deep dive for it.
Wow.
I've got a copy of some of it.
You okay with it.
You've got a copy of some of it.
Yeah.
There were a few.
There was a series of them that were released.
Have you kept up with Kevin?
Yeah, we're best.
Yeah, we've got kids now.
Oh, I love that for you and Kevin.
Yeah, we've got kids.
So just a side note as well, we've just sort of summarized to the first of nine movies.
Yeah, and it's been about 20 years.
Yeah.
So, I'm going to, this is my choice.
You guys do whatever you want to do, Matt and Dave.
I'm going to shut up for a little bit.
Let some of the summaries happen.
Okay, well, I'll try and cherry pick.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I should, Jess.
This first one, that was important, though.
I'm guessing there was no plan for it to be a long series at the start.
It was just, it was a movie based on an article.
Yes, that's wild.
It could be based on anything small than that.
Maybe off like a memory.
A memory of a movie.
A movie based on.
on a memory director. Someone comes in and
pictures of a movie so I kind of
remember this thing.
Yeah, that's a idea. It's based on a dream
like green light. Yeah, you can have it.
I was floating and they were like, we love it.
Not really a memory, more of a feeling.
A memory of a feeling I had.
So Jarl has a cameo in this
as like a street racer guy.
He refused to reprise the role though
into Fast Too Furious. He thought he was too good for
the Fast and Furious franchise. And so
they instead approach
Rapper Ludacres.
And Jarrell went on to do the Fire Festival.
Yeah.
So who's an idiot now?
Wow, I'm not going to answer that.
Okay, well, I would.
And it's Jarl, in my personal opinion.
He was paid $15,000 for the first one.
That is not a lot of money.
But he's only in like one scene.
Yeah, okay.
And...
I mean, it is a lot of money.
I should say not a lot of money to be in a big Hollywood film.
No.
I'm not going around saying $15,000.
That's not a lot of money.
Just in case anyone's at home going...
How much money?
Money does Matt carry in his pockets.
And I was going to offer Matt $15,000 for a small task,
and now I guess he won't do it.
Look, I'm happy to, I'd be in a whole movie and more.
I'll come.
You should see how much Matt is charged young cameo.
Yeah, it's 25 grand for a 30 second video.
And people are paying it.
People are paying it.
I've paid.
I've paid for a couple.
But he was offered $500,000 to be in the sequel,
and he said, nah, don't worry about it.
He just didn't take their calls.
He was like, no, I'm not doing that.
It's not good for me creatively and artistically.
Okay, Gerald.
And listen, The Fast, Too Fast, Too Furious was not incredibly successful.
So at first it was probably a good idea.
But Ludacris' character, Tej was very successful and stayed on through the whole thing.
Wow.
You know, who's an idiot again, Gerald.
Too Fast, Too Furious.
Too Fast, too furious, the numbers.
That wasn't popular.
It was popular, but it wasn't critically acclaimed.
An ex-girlfriend of mine was obsessed with them.
So I watched them with her up to a certain point.
Me.
Are you two again?
Me too.
You were familiar.
Yeah.
I knew you were a lot familiar.
I was negging him before.
But they, yeah, so I think maybe up to the first four or five or something I've seen.
See, I think it gets really good at five.
Okay.
Well, I was enjoying them.
And that includes, I watched Tokyo Drift as well.
Yep.
Is that, what's that officially the third one?
It came out third.
Yeah.
But it is not third.
Not canonically.
Not canonically.
No, not canonically third.
So in Too Fast You Furious,
It was directed by John Singleton, who'd previously directed Boys in the Hood.
We see Brian's New Life as a street racer, street racer.
Ludacress is Tage is running the races.
We also meet Suki, who has this fucking incredible Barbie-looking like pink car
that's actually just a fresh coat of paint on Johnny Tran's car from the first film.
Oh, I forgot to tell you how many cars.
So in The Fast and the Furious, 78 cars were wrecked in the filming.
78.
Yes.
I will do a running tally.
Oh, great.
Body count.
And I've got that from a website, a driving website called Driven.NZ.
So I'm sure that's where I get all my news.
You simply, simply must.
Anyway, he's Brian's back.
He's a street racer.
Everything's fine.
But then the cops are like, hey, we're going to break up this street race.
And Brian, we want you back in the FBI.
That seems, you know, that seems pretty plausible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he's like, yeah, okay, yeah, I'll do it.
and he's got to take down an Argentinian drug dealer.
They have already got one undercover agent,
so I don't know why they need him.
Her name's Monica Fuentes.
She's played by Eva Mendes, my dog's namesake.
So she's there, and then he joins her with also,
he's like, I'm going to choose my own partner.
I'm going to choose my own, you know, police partner.
And they're like, you already have Monica.
And he's like, no.
And he goes and he gets Roman Pierce, played,
by Tyrese Gibson, who is huge, huge character now.
Roman has just gotten out of jail.
He doesn't trust Brian because he's like, well, I just found out you're a cop
and you're my childhood friend.
Anyway, they go and do it.
They steal a bunch of cars.
The best stunt in this.
So I will skip this.
It doesn't really matter.
They take down the drug lord.
They get the money.
They go up a ramp and they jump onto a boat in a car.
Very, very good.
In addition to this, there's a bit where the cops think that Roman and Brian are running.
They're like, oh no, they're running away.
But they're not running away.
The cops are just babies, honestly.
just by having like children.
Why would you think that Paul Walker would be running away like he did at the end of the first
yeah, why wouldn't you trust him?
Yeah.
Why are they being weird?
And he,
so he picked his own police partner who was not a criminal.
Yeah.
Who had previously.
I don't think that's how the police work.
And the partner didn't initially want to do it because he was like, you're a cop.
Yeah.
And then he's like, yeah.
And I want you to be a cop.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
But they do it in exchange for clean records.
They want a clean record.
So they're like, yeah, we'll do it.
Anyway, they're carrying money for this drug lord, and then the cops think they're running with the money.
They drive into this warehouse because they're being followed by the cops.
And when they're in the warehouse, the garage doors come down.
They get surrounded by the cops.
This is the most exciting.
This is the first time in the Fice and Furious franchise when I was like, yay!
They're in there, and the cops are like, they're surrounded now.
What are they going to do?
And then the garage doors come up and just hundreds of high performance vehicles in all these different multi-comers.
colors come out and they don't know and they're going in different directions the cops are like
oh no which one is like they're all dressed like wally do you know what i mean yeah yeah they're like i don't
know which one's which and they follow the cars that they think are brian and roman but they are
driven by suki and tess the old switcheroo the old switcheroo uh yeah and they drive a camero up a ramp
onto a moving yacht which is uh the best the best stunt uh vin diesel didn't return because he didn't
like a script and he wanted to focus on the crot
of Riddick.
Oh, which is...
Okay.
A franchise he is obsessed with.
He's obsessed with this franchise.
He played Riddick.
Have you seen...
I don't know it.
I definitely know the posters or the trailers.
I didn't think it looked good and that was even when I was like 12.
I didn't think it looked good.
Yeah, me too.
I haven't seen it.
But has there been sequels?
Has it been a franchise?
There have been sequels.
Yes, they have been sequels.
So, you know, he's done okay.
But honestly, Fast and Furious, probably done a bit more for here.
Yeah, a bit better.
Yeah, a bit more for Vincent.
The Vincent.
Do they think that's what it didn't do as well as the box office because it didn't have JAR rule?
I mean.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's articles about it.
Where was JAR rule?
Yeah.
I think JAR is just Spanish for the.
Yeah.
Where is the rule?
Okay, so 130 cars were destroyed in too fast, too curious.
It's a lot more than the first one.
It is a lot more, but they did have that scene with hundreds and hundreds of cars.
Although I think a lot of those cars are probably CGR cars, sad.
Oh.
Do you reckon?
It's fun to look back at the first one and maybe the second one too
because at the time I was like, these cars are so cool.
And now I look back and I'm like, oh, that's a 1999 Honda S-2000.
Yeah, there's a lot of like Nissan Skylines.
There's a lot of like $35,000 cars.
That now are $600,000 cars or like $1 million cars because of this franchise.
But at the time, it was like, that was a Nissan.
Yeah, yeah.
Toot, too.
Hop in, tut, tut.
Let's go to the shops.
They're all very souped up.
Munt needs milk.
Yeah, but it's because, you know, these people aren't like rich.
Yeah.
They're just, they love cars and they're really good at making cars go brum.
I'm just realizing this is our third episode in a row that is car related.
We're becoming a car pod.
Oh, no.
Well, I have specifically not talked about cars very much because I thought it might get boring.
So that's good.
Okay, Tokyo Drift.
I moved through that second one quite a bit.
You know that.
That was amazing.
That was great.
So Tokyo Drift, I remember seeing this one at the cinema.
Yeah.
I saw this one too.
It's got a different guy in it.
Different guy.
Yeah, different guy.
It's also got Brad from home improvement.
Brad, who's Brad from home improvement?
The eldest son.
Hang on, I've just got to look him up.
I didn't know who was in that.
Oh, have I made that up?
I don't know.
I'm just Googling.
No, I'm not down to you.
I'm amazed by that reference.
Zachary Ty, Brian.
It's a pretty incredible fact that you've chosen to make up.
I'll just slip in this bit of main-off information.
Wow.
Okay.
I feel like he was one of the mainish guys.
Maybe he was like the enemy.
of the main guy or something?
I think he was the friend.
I think he plays one.
Yeah, he plays clay.
Yeah.
Well, he's not like, yeah, he's fine.
He's not, he doesn't come up.
He doesn't come up.
But I don't want to talk about Tokyo Drip too much because again, it's like, you know,
we're really focusing on the familiar.
It's not part of the story, is it?
No, well, it is.
Canonically it is.
And it comes back.
Let me just, you'll be shocked.
You'll go, oh.
This has made me already.
I'm thinking I'm doing the marathon.
Me too.
Oh, well, that's good because I can,
I'll stop the report because I really just wanted you guys to watch it.
Yeah, I'll watch it.
I'll stop now.
I'm always looking for a franchise to watch.
I love this franchise.
I love it.
People always say to me, Michelle, I didn't expect that about you.
Can I say you don't fucking know me?
Yeah, that's right.
You're not La Familiar.
You're not.
Anyway, Tokyo Drift, third film in terms of release,
but chronologically, it is actually the sixth film,
and that's if we're not including the short films in the series.
Right.
For the sake of time, and because I love getting tweeted at,
I'm going to mostly exclude this film.
But the things you need to know are it's set in Japan,
where we meet our new token white guy, Sean, who is not Brian.
Yeah, that's important to know.
Important to know, not Brian.
So Brian's not back for this.
This is a whole new cast.
And Hahn, who is a very good character,
who is actually from a different film from the director, Justin Lynn,
who directed this film, Better Luck Tomorrow.
So Han is from a different movie.
And then Justin Lynn, who is a very good director,
was like, I'm going to put that character from Better Luck Tomorrow in this film.
And canonically, it's the same character.
So Better Like Tomorrow is in the Furious verse.
Fury verse.
Fury verse.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's cool.
That's interesting.
It is.
Yeah.
Han is street racing.
So we're in Tokyo, by the way.
We're in Tokyo.
Han is street racing.
is also working for a guy whose uncle is in the yakuza.
Now, Han is skimming a bit off the top from this guy.
He gets caught, and during a car chase, his car gets teaboned and explodes.
So Sean, the guy, the Brian guy, he's sort of the main guy in this film, but he's not really important, Han is.
Brian's other guy, Sean, is just like, he's here, he's got a military dad living in Tokyo.
He's been in a bit of trouble.
Yeah, well, he's just like he was getting in trouble.
And so they're like, you go on to stay with your dad in Tokyo, and he was like, I love racing.
But he learns how to drift
Because he's good at racing
But he's not good at drifting
Yeah
Which is in Tokyo
You drift
That's how you get around
We all know that
We all know
You got the Shinkansen
And you've got drifting
Yeah
Those your options
I've been
I've been to Japan
Bow wow is in this film
Yeah
Not Lil anymore
But was he Lil then
He was not Lil then
He was not Lil for ages
No he's been big
I love that that
Was he the one that made it
things there's so many lils.
Yeah, maybe.
I think, Lil, Malau, little John.
Lil Wayne.
Lil Wayne.
Yeah, there's a lot of them.
He's definitely the first Lil I was aware of.
Me too.
The first one to grow out of it as well, because he's still, he's still Lil Wayne, isn't he?
Yeah, he's about 40 years old.
Yeah, it's a big ego thing.
What are you sold?
You know, a little anymore.
All right.
Like young thuggers now, like 60 or something.
Medium Wayne.
You can't be a cool rapper and your name's Wayne.
So you have to stay Little Wayne, don't you?
Have you heard the latest Wayne album?
He could have dropped Wayne altogether.
Some of the members of Wieser have started a new band and it's called Wayne.
Fountains of Wayne, that was a band?
Fountains of Wayne.
Don't know anything more, but.
Stacey's mom.
Did they do Stacey's mom?
They might have done.
Oh, they did Stacey's mom.
I think they did.
In that song.
I don't believe everything here from Fountains of Wayne.
So anyway, his car, Hans.
car gets teaboned it explodes. This is very important. That's the most important thing.
Fun fact, they couldn't get the filming permits in Tokyo, so they just went ahead and shot it without
permission. So I got this from Wikipedia. So Justin Lynn said, I wanted to shoot in Shibuya.
So have you guys been to Shibuya? No.
Picture, Tokyo and the crossing, the big crossing. I have been there, yes.
That crossing is in Shibuya. It's a very busy place. It's the most crowded place in Tokyo.
and he said the cops, they're all so polite.
It takes 10 minutes for them to come over and kick you out.
So she's like, yeah, we'll just do it.
10 minutes at a time.
10 minutes at a time.
Unknown to Lynn, so he didn't know this.
But the studio hired a full guy who, when the cops did come,
would like, stood up and said,
I am Spartacus and then he went to prison for the night, just for the night.
But they were very polite about it.
What?
Yeah.
It was his job to just go, yep, that's me.
Off to prison.
I'm the director.
Good night.
Yeah.
We just spent one night in jail.
I think that's quite common in Japan.
Like, we do, I think if you're, like, drunk on the street,
they'll put you in jail for the night, maybe.
Oh, no, that's normal here.
I think that's normal.
Wow.
I think that's a normal thing to do.
I don't know.
Yeah, the drunk tank.
It's in Fairy Tale of New York, they mention it.
And the drunk tank.
Yeah.
She's actually about Japan.
And that's about, that's about, that's about,
that's set, fairy tale of New York is set in Japan.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's actually set at Tokyo Disney.
Really?
Yeah.
In Lil New York.
Yeah.
In Little New York.
Yeah.
Tokyo Drift has a cameo from Vincent Diesel at the very end.
So he reprises his role of Dominic Torreto.
He turns up to Morn Hahn.
I think by challenging Sean to a race.
He's like, hello, I'm here to collect my friend.
Han's things.
Do you want to go for a little race?
Yeah.
We all grieve differently.
Some people race and that's all right.
Yeah.
And he comes to collect his things.
And, you know, it's just to establish.
Toretto knows Han, basically, that they are friends.
Rather than charging an acting fee for his cameo in this film,
so he was uncredited, unpaid.
He negotiated for the rights to the character Riddick in the Chronicles of Riddick
so that he could just really be in control of the Chronicles of Riddick.
He's obsessed with him.
He really should have gone for the Vin Diesel character.
No, that's him.
He should have whatever his character in the...
No, wait.
What's his name in this?
Dominic.
Dominic, he should have...
got that one instead.
Yeah, well, you know, who can say he later went on to Starryon
and produced the 2004 movie Chronicles of Riddick.
And then 249 cars were destroyed in,
Whoa.
So it keeps going up.
By big, in big ways.
Level up.
Yeah.
It's not like it goes from 78 to 80, you know, it's like big numbers.
Yeah.
They must feel the pressure each time to be like, fuck.
More cars.
They've finished the shoot and they're like, we haven't even broken enough cars.
You set fire to that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They just go around the street.
They all count.
They're not to their own cars.
They can't get home from the set.
There's a production car.
Burn a car.
Everyone grab a wrench.
Here we go.
So the two sequels have not sort of done as well at the box office as the first one.
People are like, where's the family?
We miss a family.
And so Fast and Furious, number four was released in 2009,
but not before a short film called Los Bandoleros,
which means the Outlaws.
20-minute short film,
written and directed by Vincent Diesel,
which you can sort of tell with lines like,
this weather man.
I know where you're going already.
And you can sort of tell.
Not because it's brilliant.
I have a funny feeling it's not because it's brilliant.
There's this line that Lettie says,
and she's like, this weather man, rain one minute,
clouds the next, sunshine the next.
It's like, no, that's not it.
That's not the line.
Did she get it wrong?
and they just didn't, and she tried to fix it.
And they were like, no, I think it's fine.
Leave the whole thing in.
No.
Like, what happened there?
Why can you say it again?
Rain one minute, clouds the next,
sunshine the next.
And she thinks about it.
She has a bit of time.
Rain one minute, clouds the next,
sunshine the next.
That's good.
That's good.
That's beautiful.
Rule of threes.
She got her dad a V-O.
I'm saying people with that tattooed.
I now understand why.
Beautiful.
You just hear you've been in the background, yell.
All right, we got it, move on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Next thing.
Anyway, so it's set in the Dominican Republic.
There's a gas shortage, people having a rough time, a lot of poverty.
Don plays this kind of like Robin Hood character.
He's playing, like he's himself, but he's like a Robin Hood.
He's stealing from the rich giving to the poor.
She's like giving out Noss.
Here you go.
Noss.
Noss for the children.
Noss for your mother.
This will sort out your fire.
Yeah.
So it's beautiful.
It's basically just there, this 20-minute film.
It's like a, the first 10 minutes are like a,
Spanish language kind of art house film and then the second 10 minutes are sort of a prequel to a
porn with him and Letty. So Letty turns up in the Dominican Republic. They've obviously been
separated when he's gone on the run. She turns up, he's like got women all over him and he's just
got his friend out of prison and they're like hanging out on him and she's like, I just had to
follow the smell of skanks to find you and he's like, ha ha ha hey. She's like, ha ha. Hey. Then they
kiss and she's like and she says in Spanish I don't like that I can taste there on your mouth like
it's like yeah the subtitles say something about um I don't like their saliva but it's like more
in Spanish it's I think it's more um brood than that um or maybe I can't remember I haven't
seen in a while anyway um it's a romantic montage they get back together this the last 10 minutes
of them is just them making out in a car then making out in a kayak then they're in a cave and
she talks about the weather um as far as I can see no cars or kayaks destroyed and this is he wrote
this.
He wrote this and he directed this.
Making out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That quote you read it before,
that sounds like porno script.
Yeah.
And Han is also there.
That's important.
Han's there living with Dom.
And he's got,
yeah,
yeah.
And he's kind of got this girlfriend,
Han's got this kind of girlfriend who has a sister.
Yeah.
It's not important.
Well, it is,
but it's not made to feel important.
Anyway, Fast and Furious released in 2009.
This is the fourth film.
It's just called Fast and Furious.
Fast and Furious.
Yes.
Oh, that's right.
See, I got this on DVD once and was confused.
It was the first time I was trying to watch it in order.
That just sounds like the first one.
It does, it does.
But this one's just, yeah, fast and furious.
Okay.
Clean it, clean it up.
Were they trying to trick people in it coming back to watch it again?
Yeah.
Makes sense.
Yeah.
Directed again by Justin Lynn and written by Chris Morgan,
who's written most of these.
wrote Tokyo Drift.
In the Dominican Republic, Dominique's crew, Letty, Tago and Rico, who are these sort of comedic
relief, Tweedled D and Tweedle Dum guys who don't get enough lines in my personal opinion, but we
also have Roman and Tess who are also kind of comedic relief.
So it's a bit, we've doubled up here and we don't want to fire you.
And they're doing any bits where, like, one of them's walking into the garage with a big
plank of wood and he turns around and hits him on the back of the head.
Yeah, that's pretty much their job yet.
Like a toilet explodes.
When people say comedic relief, that's what I hear.
It's basically that.
It's just these two guys are like, blah, blah, blah, blah.
But they're quite good at their job.
You think Charlie Chaplin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They've got moustaches.
Yeah.
I think it's funny little walks and stuff.
Yeah.
But don't they start becoming more like genre films?
Is this like the comedy one?
Yeah.
So they do start becoming more.
They pick up a lot of comedy.
They pick up a lot of.
So Justin Lynn, I think, directed some episodes of community.
So he's quite funny.
It starts to get a bit funny.
The character of Han is quite funny.
They really embrace the comedy.
They start to know what this is and why we're here.
And it's taken them four films and a couple of mini films to get to a point where they know what it is.
Yeah.
And I would honestly say they're starting now.
They really get there in the next one.
We're not halfway three.
And anyway, so Kara, there's Kara.
She's there.
She's not important.
She doesn't do anything.
I don't know why she's there.
Well, that's not true.
She does hook one oil tank.
her at one point.
Kara is Horny Fahan and she's got a sister called Lisa who we do not meet.
Okay.
But it's important that you know about that woman Lisa because she'll come back as Cardi B
in about 600 films time.
They're hijacking fuel tankers.
That's what the crew is doing at the moment.
The fuel shortage.
So they're hijacking fuel tankers.
We open on this like huge amazing.
The stunts are really exciting in this film.
This is where it like, they're like, this is what people want.
This is what we're coming for.
So there's a fuel tank of a house that's gorgeous.
Dom and Letty end up trapped between the tank of petrol and the truck itself.
So the tank isn't full of DVD players?
No, we've moved on.
They've got all the DVD players.
They've got a monopoly.
They've got a world supply of DVD players.
Yeah, yeah.
But that's why people stopped using DVDs.
Right.
Yeah.
Because they were hoarding.
They were hoarding.
But it's, I was about to say, I've now finally got, they're now getting something
and won't date.
but it's going on all electric car so in 10 years it's going to be like petrol yeah
what's that yeah what's that yeah what are we talking we're talking vini diesel
unladded probably vini diesel i'd say i didn't ask
can you normally do that in a movie pause excuse me sorry what kind of petrol is the god
in and there in that tank what's that custom by the leader do you do letters over the dollar 35
gallons it's not bad they're by the gallon i'll just pay for it not bad not bad
Anyway, there's a scene where they are having this dramatic on the side of a cliff, car chase with these fuel tankers, there is a truck on one end about to roll off a cliff.
Dom and Letty are in their car, trapped between that and the on-fire fuel tank that is rolling towards them down the hill.
And Dom looks the tanker in the eye.
Like a 10-year-old girl figuring out when to enter the skipping rope.
You're doing the hand motion.
Doing the hands.
And Letty goes, Dom, Dom, Dom.
And then he just drives and just goes under this burning fuel tanker.
And it's amazing.
Is that the second time that you went, whoa.
Yeah.
That was my second.
Wee.
After this, it's just like every 45 seconds you're like, wee.
I probably haven't entered a skipping rope for easily 20 years.
Do you want to have a go?
I'm confident I can still do it.
Do you never go on the mic, please?
So my point is, I reckon once you've done it a few times, you know that rhythm.
Yeah.
I think Dom could sort of be like, yeah, I've got this.
Yeah, I've driven under hundreds of oil tankers.
I could do it now.
I could do it.
I could get into a skipping rope.
Not a double.
That's crazy.
That's crazy.
But a single skipping rope, I could do it.
Absolutely.
I could.
I reckon you could.
I reckon you could.
I mean, you've already said, you can.
I reckon you could.
I'm confident about it.
No, I reckon you could though.
Yeah
He'd be really, really good
You'd be really good
Jess honestly believe in yourself
I didn't even do it
I do
That's more like it
Thanks man
I needed you here
So they survived
This fuel tank a heist
Dom starts to suspect
That the police are on their trail
I think because Han
turns to women
He's like
I think the cops are out
and Dom's like
Oh what should we do
Han's like
I might go to Tokyo
And we're all like
No don't go to Tokyo
Oh no Han
Don't go to Tokyo
Oh no
Anyway, so realizing that he must leave to protect everyone,
because the cops are really out for him.
Dom, Dom leaves.
He's like, I've got to go.
Cops are on to us.
I've got to go.
And he's like, Letty, I've got to go.
And she's like, no, we're a family.
This is what we do.
This is how we live, which becomes like a thing that keeps coming up.
Dom sneaks away in the middle of the night,
leaving his iconic cross necklace, hanging on the nightstand next to a sleeping
Letty.
And that is a character as well, the necklace.
He'll be spewing when he realizes he accidentally left.
He'll probably come back for it.
Three months later, Dom is now living in Panama City.
He gets a call from Mia, his sister, with the tuna sandwiches,
tells him that Lettie has been murdered.
What?
His girlfriend.
Yeah.
No.
Who's the actor playing Letty again?
Michelle Rodriguez.
No.
Yeah, she's been murdered.
So Dom heads back to L.A. to go to her funeral.
He doesn't actually go to it.
He stands back because obviously there's cops.
It's raining.
Obviously, it's L.A.
I saw a video recently.
Which was showing like that apparently that's a real movie cliche,
the criminal watching the funeral.
Yeah.
And they cut a bunch of them together.
Yeah.
That's really interesting.
It's a funny trope.
It is funny.
Because like I can still see you.
You're just over there in a suit.
You're normally on a hill.
Like it couldn't be any more visible up there.
Yeah, they're always on a hill.
What are they doing?
Sit in the car.
Yeah.
If you can see everybody at the funeral, they can see you.
Yeah.
Go on a plane over.
Yes.
Have a helicopter over.
Get a drone.
Everett would be windy.
It would be funny if they just like a pan.
from the funeral full of FBR people to like a bush
and there's someone just in a suit
covered and dirted
just crawling through
I love you lady
do that bush just speak
the bush is crying
anyway so he's there
he's at the funeral and then he goes to examine the crash site
he finds traces of nitro methane on the ground
how does he find that
I
well he's smart
so what he like licks it
Yeah, he's like bare grills.
He's like, oh, I know what this.
I guess it's like a, it's a car thing.
And he knows what all the car stuff tastes like.
I love that just a random man goes to examine.
You can tell the spices.
Yeah.
You can tell.
You know when there's turmeric.
Yeah, you're right.
Well, it's orange.
You do know when there's too much.
But you know when there's cumin.
Yeah.
I know when there's cumin.
But I am a chef.
So, anyway.
I'm Michelle.
Oh.
Okay.
Okay.
God.
Thank God.
This is why we broke up.
Why did you're telling me what I am.
Your name is Michelle Brazier?
Yeah, that's my name.
Holy shit.
I've been saying it wrong.
Anyway, so he visits the only car mechanic that sells nitramethane in L.A.
Very clear.
Only one.
And is like, tell me the name of the guy.
And he says it's David Park.
So he says it's David Park.
And the only car that uses it is a green 1972 Ford Torino Sport.
Right?
Okay.
So meanwhile, again, an FBI agent again, Brian O'Connor.
So at the end of the two fast, too furious, Brian and Roman, they're like, we did it.
And they get the money and they give it back to the FBI except they keep one bag of the money.
And they're like, let's open a garage.
And so they just do that.
That's the vibe, right?
So he's in the FBI.
It's fine.
They haven't asked where they're missing money.
Everything seems to be in order.
You're an FBI again.
He's trying to track down a drug lord, Braga.
The drug lord is called Braga.
His search leads him to David Park, the same guy that Dom is looking for.
So Dom arrives at Park's apartment and he like hangs him out the window by his ankles.
And then Dom, yeah, so Dom's holding him by his ankles.
And then Brian comes and he's like, excuse me, I'm a police officer.
I can't dangle men out and he pulls him out and saves his life.
And Park becomes the FBI's new informant.
Oh my God.
So he gets Brian into a street race.
Brian selects a Nissan skyline.
Again, this is like a 35.
I think this is the 30, I don't know.
People are going to be yelling at there.
iPods.
But anyway, he chooses, he like modifies this car and Dom modifies a Chevy and he's like,
yay, and they go.
They meet Campos, who is a guy who is, does coffees.
You were mentioning a barista?
Yeah.
He does a coffee.
You skipped a lot of stuff in the last film.
They mean Campos.
When they go out for brunch, it becomes a regular cafe.
Avocado on toast, no tuna.
This coffee has changed my life.
They meet Campos, who's, Braggis second in.
as well as Giselle, who is played by Galgado.
Braga's liaison is her job.
They're kind of just like the pair who represent Braga.
She reveals that the winner will become the last driver on a team
that traffics heroin between the US-Mexico border.
Yeah, you win the opportunity to join the team.
To be a heroin mule.
To be a heroin mule.
So it's an audition.
I don't know if there's a dance call.
It's not like maybe it's in the extended cut.
But anyway, so they do that.
Dom wins, obviously.
always wins and Brian uses his power as an FBI agent to arrest another driver on the team
and take his place.
Oh.
So he's back undercover.
That's kind of dodgy, Brian.
I know.
Well, I think, honestly, I think Brian is a little bit dodgy.
Brian, you didn't earn that spot.
I reckon he's crooked.
And what?
You've arrested this guy for what?
Other crimes he's definitely done.
Yeah.
Okay, Brian.
Yeah.
Pretty full on.
Dog.
So there, so Dom and Brian are both now in the heroin squad.
Yes.
But for different reasons.
Brian's trying to infiltrate the gang to arrest them and Dom is trying to work out who killed his sister.
Yes.
They're there for two different reasons.
His girlfriend.
His girlfriend.
Not his girlfriend, sorry, Lettie.
His sister's still alive.
Okay.
So Dom notices Braga's henchman called Phoenix, but spelt F-E-N-I-X, you know, it's good to change it up.
Drives the same Torino, that Torino.
Okay.
So they drive across the border in these like underground tunnels, which we're.
was done by stunt drivers in really tiny spaces.
It's really, if you watch any of the stunts, this is the, we, that's this for this, for this
film.
It's very, very exciting.
And then he confronts Phoenix.
He's like, what's going on?
And Phoenix is like, yeah, I killed Letty.
Letty was working for Braga.
And also, we kill everyone who, who does the job.
So, like, once the job is done, we just kill everyone.
And Lettie found out.
And so Lettie got killed when she was trying to get away.
Did Rodriguez, did she quit the series and that's why they killed her off?
Or do they always want to kill her off?
I don't want to spoil anything.
So I will come to that.
This whole episode is spoilers.
I don't want to spoil specifically for you just yet.
Spoiled in real time.
Yeah, I feel like this is really hard to follow.
But that's okay.
So they're trafficking the heroin.
Everything's going according to plan.
Then they have this big fight.
There's a big explosion because they're underground.
and then they have a big fight.
There's a lot going on.
Like there's a big fight.
It doesn't matter.
Big fight.
Lettie's been killed.
Everyone's very upset.
They hijack a Hummer with 60 million dollars worth of heroin in it.
That's a lot of chaos at the big fight.
Is it a lot?
I guess.
I think it's a lot.
Back then.
Yeah.
What's heroin going to?
Now heroin is.
The economy, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Pretty good.
That's pretty good.
Brian and Don't.
I'd say a good amount.
Not excessive.
Not excessive, but enough for a box.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Brian and Dom drive back to LA.
Yeah, it's hot pink.
Oh yeah, it's ripe for a friends or a box.
They hide the heroin in a police impound lot.
I don't know if that's hiding or if that's giving it to the cops.
But I guess Brian's like, oh, I've got a cool place to hide it.
They drive back to Dom's house where they see Dom's sister.
Mia, and obviously Mia and Brian are like, we love each other and it's beautiful.
But they're on again, off again, are they?
Yeah, well, because he's in the FBI and then he's not in the FBI,
and it's like not really clear where she is.
Right.
And how does Dom feel about Paul Walker's character, Brian, at this stage?
Are they like, are they bros yet?
Or does Dom still like, you're a dog?
Well, it's a bit off and on because Dom just is about to find out
that the last person to have contact with Letty was Brian.
So Brian explains that Lettie was working undercover, working for him.
So he's got another ex-con to work as a little cop.
underneath him.
So she was working for Braga
for Paul Walker, Brian
because Brian said, I will
I can do this deal for you.
I'll be able to get Dom's record
cleaned.
Because she wants to be with Dom. She just wants
Dom to come home and he's run off
in the middle of the night and she's gone, all right, the only way to fix this
is to stop the cops from coming after Dom.
And so she's done this risky job
undercover. She's got caught out and she's been killed.
For love. For love.
For love. Wow.
Now, I wouldn't do that, to be honest.
Do I not know love?
Yeah, no, you don't know love.
I would do it.
You wouldn't.
I do it every week for team.
You wouldn't be an undercover criminal to expunge your partner's criminal record?
Nah.
You don't know love.
Don't tell him.
No, shut up.
I want to tell him.
I don't want to work for Braga.
It's a very funny name.
Braga.
Hi, I'm Brugger.
I think it's very powerful.
Yeah, anyway, so they're having a little bit of a fight.
They're trying to lure Braga into a trap.
And they're with treats?
With treats, yeah, with treats.
But then Braga is revealed as a decoy.
And Campos, the coffee guy, is the real Braga.
No, not our coffee guy.
I thought you just brought up the coffee guy for his coffee skills.
No, brought him up because he's a decoy.
It's not really important, but I wanted to tell you.
Escape with Phoenix and they go to Mexico.
So there's like a whole chaos.
Phoenix nearly runs over Giselle, who's Gal Godot.
And Dom saves her life.
She's also, earlier than this, she's come onto him.
And he's like, she does this thing where she's like,
what do you look for in a woman?
That's my Cal Godot accent.
And he's like, she's got to be, oh, you've got to look in her eyes and see 80% devil
and 20% angel and she's got to have this and this.
And then she's like, that doesn't sound anything like me.
And he's like, it ain't.
Because he's only got eyes for Letty, even though she's dead.
Did Vin Diesel write this movie as well?
I think Galgado wrote it.
You know how the second Wonder Woman?
It feels like Galgadoo wrote the second Wonder Woman film.
Does it feel like that to any of you guys?
I watched it.
I was like, it's cute how they let her write, direct, star, produce and shoot this herself.
Is that based on her video of celebrity singing?
No, it's based on the film.
Wonder Woman, too.
I haven't brought myself to watch it.
I loved Wonder Woman, the first.
one.
I did too.
You know,
the second one was kind of fun,
but yeah,
it just felt like it jumped,
jumped a bit in time.
Well, yeah.
I would say it was as well written as my report,
which is mostly Wikipedia and then just memories I've got.
Which is I think what she did.
Anyway,
it's fine.
So now,
so she's tried to come on.
She's horny for Dom.
That's fine.
Dom's like,
no.
And then she's like,
well,
okay,
well,
I guess I'm horny for Hahn now.
So now she's horny for Hahn now.
But Dom saved her life.
So she's kind of with the good guys.
She helps them.
She's like, here's where you can find Braga hiding.
Okay?
So Brian and Dom go to a church where Braga's hiding.
They get him.
They get Phoenix.
There's a whole thing.
I'm going to skip all of this.
When you say get him, do they arrest him or do they kill him?
I think they kill him.
Oh, dear.
But it's not, he's not really important.
So I can't really remember exactly what happens to him.
But I think, yeah, no, that, yeah, anyway, Phoenix tries to kill.
Brian and Dom
because Phoenix is
you know
Phoenix is kind of the second bad guy
but he's really quite bad
and Dom drives out of the tunnels
and into Phoenix
he kills him avenging Lady's death
but then police and helicopters
approached a crash site
and Brian's like
Dom you've got to run
Dom's like I'm not running anymore
and he's like you have to go
and despite Brian's request
for clemency the judge sentences
Dom to 25 years in prison
what's that for
For, because he's still on the run.
Right.
So, because Michelle Rodriguez didn't catch Braga.
So they haven't done the right.
They haven't done it.
Her dying in the pursuit of it wasn't enough.
No, they don't care about crims.
Acab.
Except the nice ones.
That's a good say.
That's a really good say.
Is the C and A cab crims?
Yeah.
All crims.
All crims.
Our buddies.
Boobies.
Boobes.
Well, I think there's more nuanced.
to it than that.
I don't think so.
Some criminals are just trying to get their lovers,
you know, criminal records expunged.
Exactly.
Taylor's auto's time itself.
Nah.
Don't do it.
All crims and boobs.
Just don't do crime.
Yes.
Come on.
You are nice.
You wouldn't steal a car.
From the DVD players.
Yeah.
For the people who don't understand DVD players,
I'll get that reference.
Yeah, they'll love that.
Anyway,
uh,
Brian resigns from the FBI.
because he's really pissy that he couldn't get Dom forgiven.
And then the film ends with Dom,
no, Dom on the bus, on the prison bus,
and his little oranges.
Is he driving?
He's not driving.
They didn't let him drive.
He's like, let me drive.
I go so much faster than this.
Honestly, I'm a really good driver.
See the thing I did with the truck.
I'm so good.
I have done so much cool driving.
They're like, shut up.
He's a real backseat driver.
It's really annoying.
He's like, left here.
It'll be quicker.
Yeah.
Hit the nose.
Slowed out, slowed out.
Red light coming up.
That's red.
That's red.
That's red, mate.
I feel more confused after that one than the other
Well wait
But I think it's because you
It's not done
It's not done yet
Oh good
No well just
He's in the prison bus on the way to prison
And we see Brian and Mia
In their cars
And they're coming to save him
They come in to attack the prison bus
So they can break him out
Whoa
Yeah
And from here
I think the movies get quicker
And I am aware that the podcast
Has been going for six years
You've actually nailed
The timing of the last few
Like it's you're doing great
sailing through?
Yeah.
Okay.
190 cars were wrecked in the making of fast and furious.
That's less.
Yeah, they've gone down.
Were they upset by that?
It's disappointing, actually.
But were they more valuable cars?
This time there's Lambeaus, Ferraris.
Yeah, we've got a hammer.
We've got $60 million worth of heroin.
That's true.
That takes a lot of budget.
That's a lot.
That's really taken up a lot.
The studio's like, couldn't you just do it with fake heroin?
No.
It's an authentic movie.
They're method.
They do everything.
Our meth is meth.
We're method.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's important.
Fast five is the next one.
We really stopped trying with the names.
Is it actually the fifth one it is now?
So you know how they're at Tokyo Drift?
Do they, in the counting part, that's three,
but it's not three in the chronology.
I don't think they count it either.
I just think it's sort of not counted.
So in the five, the fifth one's actually the sixth,
if you include Tokyo Drift?
No, it's a fifth.
So it goes.
You go back to what it was on.
The fast and the furious.
Yeah.
Too fast, too furious.
Tokyo Drift.
Yeah.
Fast and furious.
Fast five.
Oh, right.
I didn't realize they counted Tokyo Drift as one.
They do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, they count it.
But it's chronologically, it doesn't happen.
Because obviously, Han's walking around here.
And was that?
After he's been teaboned and exploded.
Had, was I thinking that ahead of time?
Or they're like, oh, this hand character's cool.
Too bad have we killed him?
I think probably that.
Yeah.
It feels like that.
Yeah, I think they're like, this isn't those wrong.
I think about halfway through filming, they went,
what if we go back on time over it?
So they just went back in time.
This guy rules.
Yeah, it's going to fuck.
Easily making the identical twin or we say this is before he died.
I'm surprised they didn't.
So it's a very camp.
It's a very camp series and it's very sort of,
the more it gets along, it's very much like a telenovela,
like a real, real drama.
And I love all the tropes of the.
that.
Anyway.
People coming back from the dead and stuff like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which I look forward to.
Fast 5 written by Chris Morgan, again, directed by Justin Lynn, picks up exactly the moment
Fast and Furious left off.
So Brian and Mia, they're in the cars.
They've got the bus.
They're coming for the bus.
Oh, okay.
They come and they break out, break Dom out of the bus.
So he's not going to the jail anymore.
They quickly become America's Most Wanted and they are again on the run.
How do they get him out of the bus?
again there's it's like a car chase so the bus is on like a a long stretch of road and then they
it's kind of how they hijack the DVDs yeah the DVD players it's the same it's just a man
I'm thinking of um they do a similar thing in the A team
they break BA out of the is there any crossover with the A team I think it's canon
yeah I think it's canon uh they blow the back of they blow the door off in that one yeah he
rides the door to safety.
Oh, fantastic.
Yeah.
And that crosses over with the Italian job.
Yeah.
Yes.
We actually get the director of the Italian job in one of these films.
Anyway.
Is it ironic that Paul Walker is often on the run or not?
What do you mean?
Because he's walking?
Oh, because he's a walker.
Yeah, he's driving.
It's sort of like the opposite of nomative determinism in a lot of ways.
I guess it is, yeah.
It was called Paul Driver.
Yeah.
That'd be.
They should have got Mini Driver to play the poor Walker role.
Yeah, they approached after Eminem.
She was busy.
She was doing Chronicles of Riddick.
Really, she should have been in the Italian job, Mini Driver.
If she doesn't own a Mini, I'll be, and I really like Mini Driver,
but if she doesn't own a Mini, she's lost me forever.
That's very funny, man.
I'll be fast and fish.
This is very much, I'm doing a book cheat on this.
There's a little plug for your podcast.
That's right.
If you prefer your movies in the form of books.
You can't check our bookcheat.
Audio books.
You should do a bookchate episode about the article.
Racer X.
All right.
Okay.
So they're America's most wanted.
They're on the run again.
They go to Rio de Janeiro, which is actually filmed in Puerto Rico.
Oh.
So different.
But they do film a little.
bit in Rio.
They're awaiting Dom's arrival.
Mia and Brian, I don't know why they're like, do it like he's, I don't know why that
is, but they're there first.
Mia and Brian are there and they join their friend Vince from the first film.
Remember Vince?
Yeah.
He blew Brian's cover in the first place.
Like he's the one who got himself in trouble with the trucker.
Yeah, he sort of, because he went against the orders or something, right?
Is that how he blew the cover?
No, no, he just, he got hurt.
And so Brian called the police ambulance for you.
I'm pretty sure.
Again, I should have double-checked that.
So he blew the cover by getting hurt.
Yeah, by getting hurt.
But he was being reckless.
He was being reckless.
And he always, this is his whole thing is he's always like,
I know better and I want to be the leader.
And he's just annoying.
Anyway, me and Brian joined Vince.
He is also hanging out in Rio.
They are on a job that Vince has organized.
Well, he's not organized, but he's gone,
oh, they need a couple more guys coming.
join this this job they're stealing some cars from a train a moving train um so this is a really good
stunt movie brian and mea get on the train and they're like going for the thing dom joins them as well
and dom's like i don't know about this i don't feel very good about this and mea and uh brian are like
there are agents on this train like there are definitely like DEA agents yeah so they're like is it a
set up like what is this and then they they realize that the main
guy is just that's like running this his name's zizi he's very focused on one particular car they're
like we're here to steal a bunch of cars but they're like spoken on one car which is a Ford gt 40
and famous for driving around la mon which we spoke about a couple of weeks ago um too too so dom
dom's like all right mea steal that one you're going to get that car because they're like we'll get
that car and you get the others because they're trying to they realize that they're trying to like
pin it on don and his crew that they're trying to be like we'll get away
with the real car and you guys will be here.
Anyway.
So they're like stealing like a bunch of day woo's.
Yeah.
A couple of day woo's.
Dom's like, this is a bit fishy.
Why is this guy so obsessed with stealing a minivan?
They're all good cars but there's something about this car.
They don't know what it is.
Not obvious.
Really?
Really.
They're being booked for this job.
Yes.
By people that they don't really trust.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
And D.A.
Because they're on the run.
That's the drugs.
That's the drugs people.
Right.
They're not car.
They're not after people who are stealing cars.
There's no department for stealing car.
Really?
I don't think so.
Nah, they don't care.
They should add a C to DEA.
Things like drugs, murder.
Crime.
Yeah.
Crime.
Small crime.
Little crimes.
You know little crimes.
And then he got older and he dropped.
No, he's just crimes.
Anyway, so Mia steals a car, which is very exciting.
She's like, these cars are on a train.
So they're on a moving train.
They're in the desert.
She steals the car first and then it's very, very clear.
Brian and Dom fight Zizi and his henchmen.
Everyone's turning on everyone.
Zizi kills the drug agents, the DEA agents assigned to the vehicles to look after the vehicles.
And Brian and Dom are captured and brought to a crime lord Rays.
So he's the owner of the cars and he's also ZZ's boss.
Rays orders the pair, orders that the pair are like interrogated and he wants to find out where this fucking car is
because that's the one car that he cares about.
They escape and they retreat to their safe house.
So they're just like, what have we just done?
What's going on?
But they're trying to survive.
They're on the run.
Don, Brian and Mia.
They're framed as the murderers of those DEA agents.
And then the US government sends a crack team of security special agents led by Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Oh, my goodness.
Now, this is when you reckon it starts getting good.
Toot, too.
Yeah, this is where to say we're one hour in.
I love Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Luke, I do love him, although I did see he was like supporting in the whole Spotify thing.
He said something, I don't know.
I try not to think about it.
Anyway, I love him.
Luke Hobbs is his name, and he's assisted by an officer called Eleanor Nevis.
And Elena, or Elena, she is like, he trusts her because he's like, I can see in your eyes that you've lost someone.
You're not in this for the game.
You're in this to make the world better.
And she's like, yes, I love my husband.
and she's like this tiny little thing and he's like,
no, I look after you and she's great, she's great, she's a good cop.
Anyway, so they go to Rio to arrest this, this band of bandits for once and for all.
So Brian, Dom and Mia are examining the car that they've stolen
to try and figure out what's so fancy about this car.
Was there drugs in the car, what's going on?
Vince gets there.
You know, Vince, Vince, annoying, arrives and he's caught by Dom trying to remove a computer chip from the car.
Okay.
He admits he was going to sell the chip to raise on his own and like freeze them out.
And Dom's like, get out.
Like I'm not angry.
I'm just disappointed.
Yeah.
That's not what family does.
Yeah.
We're family.
We are a family.
We are family.
Yeah.
What's the meme again?
He said, I don't got friends.
I got family.
I got family.
Yeah.
And you should, you need both.
I reckon.
Well, you do.
That's, because.
I reckon it's okay to have friends.
Yeah, it's not so I have friends.
Anyway, that's fine.
That's what I think.
He leaves.
and Brian, but Don takes the chip.
So Brian investigates the chip.
He's like, this has the financial details of Rays, the big criminal boss, his whole criminal
empire, including.
Ray's 10th City.
Yes.
Oh, wow.
So much makes sense.
The whole tent empire.
I can't even remember hearing his name.
Is it Ray's or Reyes?
Anyway, whatever it is.
Including the locations of $100 million in cash.
So Hobbs and his team.
So that computer chip was in the car.
It was hidden in a car.
A normal place.
They didn't need to steal that car.
Why didn't they just go in and get the chip out?
They didn't know the chip out.
I don't know why.
Oh, not them, but I mean.
Yeah, the people who actually wanted it.
It's completely unclear.
Okay.
Listen, we don't let plot get in the way of a train with stolen cars in the desert.
Like, we're not getting in the way of that.
I'm sure they would have written it in.
They'd be a reason, no doubt.
Oh, Matt, no.
is the wonderful thing about this franchise is they will just go,
everyone's looking for,
there's a sandwich and everyone needs it.
It's a matter of national security.
And everyone goes,
well,
we gotta go get sandwich.
There's no,
like,
you know,
like a Marvel movie,
they're like,
this is the history of the stone.
And here's like years worth of context.
They're like,
there's stone he wants to get to stone.
And everyone's like,
okay.
It's fantastic.
I love it.
I like it that way.
Don't waste my time with story.
I don't have story.
I have family.
So Hobbs and his team
arrive at Dom's safe house
but it's already under assault
by Reyes' men.
They're searching for the chip.
Brian, Dom and Mia escape
after like a cool parkour chase
across the favela in
it's actually in Puerto Rico
that they film it but it is in Rio
and Dom's like, we got to get out of Rio
and Mia's like I'm pregnant.
Oh my God.
She's pregnant with Brian's child.
Oh my God.
So Dom's like, okay, we'll stick together
we'll steal the money
and we'll start a new life.
life, one last job, one final job.
Obviously, it's difficult to steal from, like, a lot of different places because they found
all the different locations of this money.
So they're like, okay, we're going to attack one of the locations, and they just burn all
the money.
They go there and they set fire to it, and they're like, this is how powerful.
It's like a power play.
Okay.
But they really could have used that money.
They could have just taken it.
They just wanted to do one last big job?
So just take that money.
You found it.
Well, they, it makes him, like, gather all his money.
It makes him move his money.
Right.
Oh.
So they do that and then they put all of the money into an evidence vault inside a police station.
I can't remember why and I did try and Google it and like watch this bit again and I was like,
I still don't know why they've done this.
So that's just what they did.
But again, we don't need to know why.
It's not important.
They just want to get it.
And anyway, so they're there.
They're having this time.
It's hiding, right?
And then they steal some dodge charger cop cars.
So they can blend in.
So Vince joins them.
Mia gets captured by Reyes' men,
which keeps happening to her.
She's always getting in trouble.
She's so annoying.
And then there's also a scene as there's a street race, of course.
Of course.
Where Hobbs comes and Dom is like high.
And Hobbs is like, you're under arrest, Dominic Truredo.
And Dom turns around and is like,
this is Brazil.
And then everyone pulls a gun on Hobbs.
Like everyone.
It's really cool.
He says,
this is Brazil.
Is he putting his hands up in the air?
Right up in the air like the statue of Jesus.
Yeah.
This is Brazil.
Wow.
That's an interesting move.
I think it's really strong.
I mean,
and like how did he orchestrate that when I say this is Brazil?
Yeah.
And I just get your gun out.
Yeah.
Is that like a cultural thing in Rio?
If you yell that at,
everyone will pull a weapon.
No.
Just to back you up.
I picture just.
It happens whenever I yell it, my friends.
It would have been like surprise party sort of things.
All right, he's going to be here soon.
Yeah.
Everyone pretend like you're into the street race.
Girls get your bums out.
What size are we talking at the moment?
At this current time, they're getting a bit bigger.
The bums are getting a bit bigger.
The girls look like they've had a bit of bread, which is good for the girls.
It's good to have bread.
I love bread.
So good.
Fucking love bread.
Yeah, so is your butt.
Your butt loves bread.
Yeah, your butt loves bread.
Yum, yum, yum, yum.
But loves bread.
The focus at the start is like boobs and small butt.
And then now, slowly, but, only but.
Only butt.
Only butt.
Only butt.
You know that website? Only butt.
You can sign up.
Think that one's butt.
That's funny.
This is Brazil.
Anyway, that's my favourite thing of the entire.
That's my wee.
Hobbs and his team eventually later on find and arrest Dom, Mia, Brian and Vince.
So they're transporting them to the airport to go back to the US
where they will be arrested and processed.
But then the convoy is attacked by the bad guys, Ray as his men.
They kill Hobbs's team.
What?
And Hobbs is like, what the fuck is this?
And then Dom saves Hobbs as a team.
He's like, no, this is not right.
You should not be killed in this fight.
And then now La Familiar.
Oh, my God.
Now we're friends.
Now we're friends.
Vince is killed.
Who cares?
So all it takes is save someone's life.
Yeah, that's what.
Okay, so basically someone enters as a bad guy and then their life is saved and then now they're part of the family.
Wow.
That's general, like that's the kind of pattern that's established through from the last film onwards, which is great.
So they even happened in the first one, right?
Paul Walker saved.
Yeah.
Ben Diesel's life.
Yeah.
And he was the undercover cop.
Yeah.
So that's all you need to do.
So Hobbs and Elena, who's the cop who lost her husband.
agree to help with the heist.
Elena, I don't know why they like,
they're like, yeah, let's help.
Like, what?
Yeah.
They're just like, yeah, let's do it.
We'll do it.
Okay.
Sure.
Okay.
We're crims now.
Finn,
is very charismatic.
I mean, it's not really that simple,
but essentially they're just helping.
It's the right thing to do.
They're all exactly, just help a brother out.
Elena and Dom are very, like, horny for each other.
They have a little bit of a romance brewing.
The gang breaks into the cop station where they have the vault,
and they use two of these charges, these big police charges,
to tear open the vault that has on the money through it
and then they drag it through the city
while the police officers like chase them.
So they're dragging, so they have cars dragging one big vault
as it bounces through the busy city streets.
Great.
Which is truly amazing.
It's one of the best stunts.
Like this has, there's a lot of...
There's a lot of cars getting wrecked in this.
It is, it's just like, bam, bam, bam, everything explodes.
Cannot wait to hear the number.
Very, very good.
Anyway, so Hobbs is like right at the end, they get there, they win.
Hobbs is like, okay, kills Reyes.
And then Hobbs is like, okay, Dom and Brian obviously can't let you go.
That would be illegal.
I am a very fancy policeman.
Yeah.
I can't let you go.
But what I can do is give you 24 hours.
You leave the vault with me.
It'll be 24 hours, which is kind of his very very very.
version of a 10 second car.
Yeah.
24 hours.
So they're like, all right,
who areoo,
but unbeknownst to Hobbs,
they switched out the vault.
And then we see like a play by play
where they go under a tonne.
They like change the vaults.
There's two vaults.
They get all the money.
They've got the vault.
So this vault's useless.
This is a dumb vault.
Who cares about this vault?
No one.
I can't let you go.
I mean,
I can let you go for 24 hours.
Yeah, 24 hours.
Even a, even a vault without stuff.
And they must, you know,
they're not free.
It's to be worth quite a bit of money.
That's a nice vault.
That's a very positive spin on that.
That's exactly right.
Yeah, those big vaults would go for a bit.
Yeah.
What, 50, 70 bucks?
Yeah, that's great.
I'm picturing.
Do you know what I'm picturing like one of, yeah, at least 50, 50, 70 bucks.
In that ballpark.
If it's taking two cars to drug, it's got to be pretty big.
It's got to be 50 to 70 bucks.
I agree.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's not, it's not.
Maybe 45 on sale.
You know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
At Aldi or something.
Yeah.
On a special.
On a special.
Yeah.
Wow.
Or you can buy a 10 pack of them at Costco.
Yeah, you could.
Well, they probably got a 10 pack so they could switch it.
So they get, the gang is like, they're all over the world.
They're all fine.
They're all separate, but they're doing good.
And they've gotten away.
Hobbs is technically still chasing them, but they've gotten away.
So it's fine.
Is he kind of half-ass chasing them?
Yeah, he's like, guys, come out.
Don't.
I'll find you.
Yeah, okay.
In a mid-credit scene, Hobbs is given a file by Monica.
Remember Monica from being undercover in Too Fast, Too Furious?
Eva Mendez.
Yes, yes.
She doesn't do much.
But she's like, hey, there's been a military convoy in Berlin that's been hijacked,
and here's some evidence.
And he sees pictures of Letty.
Taking part in the heist.
She died.
Oh, my God.
That's what we thought.
Is it a zombie movie?
It's a zombie movie.
Yeah, now we go into zombie movie.
So is this them going, actually, she wants to come back so we're bringing the character back,
or was that always planned?
I don't think it was always planned.
I don't think much is planned.
I think they're just going as it comes along.
She was, yeah, she wanted to not come back, but she had a great film idea that she was going
to do with chronicles of bid, bid dick.
Big dick.
Big dick.
Chronicles of big dick.
I really didn't think that was going to be even that good.
Funny.
All right.
So this film is the first one to introduce three big Hollywood ideas into the franchise,
those being comedy.
Yep.
The heist tropes.
Love it.
And also Dwayne Rock Johnson.
That's a big idea.
A big Hollywood idea.
Yeah.
We've got 260 wrecked cars in this one,
but they are expensive and fancy cars.
That's the highest number so far, I think.
I think it's the highest or maybe there was one.
I think there was a 240-something.
Tokyo drift.
I can't remember.
These are probably wrong as well
No, they were from
What was it? Drive.orgonZ
Driven.com
It's important
As I said before
They filmed this in Puerto Rico
And it made it injected like
$27 million into the Puerto Rican economy
Which is huge
Yeah
They lost a lot of their best cars
They did destroy half their city too
Yeah they did
No they did do that
Yeah no good
The reason Dway and the Rock Johnson was in this
Is because Vin Diesel went on Facebook
I was like, who do you guys reckon should be a villain?
And they were like, Dwayne!
Get me away!
And he was like, yeah, right.
Someone tagged you when he wrote back and said, I'll do it.
Yeah, I'll do it in exchange for a clean record.
That's amazing.
That's very funny.
Just see that tweet, Adam Spencer did a happy birthday tweet to Will Anderson.
They used to host Friday breakfast.
And he said, at the end of the tweet, he said,
and I'm sure your hero, The Rock would say the same.
And he tagged in The Rock, and then The Rock replied,
Oh, my God.
Saying, oh, I hope you have a great birthday.
Because they also, they posted a photo of when they interviewed the Rock way back.
Oh, wow.
And he replied so nice.
Yeah, he made a little joke.
Oh, my God.
It was real nice.
Yeah, he's such a nice.
He seems like such a nice dad.
Will Anderson, who, you know, has got like half a million followers on Twitter.
And he's like, oh, my God.
The Rock tweeted at me.
I feel like anyone would be very chuffed
Yeah
Oh no doubt
He's like I think
Yeah
At the next level
A few weeks back
Dave told us about live aid
And he was saying that all
The biggest bands of the world are playing
But the MC that day was Jack Nicholson
Or Jack Nicholas
Jack Nicholson
Jack Nicholson
The actor not the golfer
So it's like
Backstage the biggest bands of the world
To go and my god
That's Jack
Holy shit
Holy shit
One of the bands is like
I can't really remember
my set because the whole time I was thinking,
holy shit, that's Jack Nicholson.
That's amazing.
I think the rock is the modern Jack Nicholson.
Yeah.
Even the biggest celebrities would be like,
oh, fuck him out.
Is that the rocker over there?
I feel that.
I feel that podcasting with Dave Warnocky.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
That's Dave Warnocky.
Every time.
Holy shit.
That's why you don't remember a lot of the episodes.
I'm just sitting here staring at him.
I'm like, look at him talk.
He's doing it.
Oh my God, that's his voice.
I've heard that voice.
His eyes are so.
Blue.
Okay, Fast 6.
We have arrived at Fast 6 from the same writer and director.
It's released in 2013 now.
Chris Morgan.
Huh?
That's the name of the writer, isn't it?
Chris Morgan.
Chris Morgan to you.
Good morning.
Chris Morgan.
I thought you were saying something in a different language of the men.
Of course.
Chris Morgan.
Dom is living with Elena now.
So they've hooked up.
Mia lives with.
Brian O'Connor and their son, which they have now had.
His name is Jack.
Giselle, who is Galgado and Hahn, are together.
Okay.
And Roman and Tej are living, separately, but, like, living it up in luxury.
So, like, Tej is still running street racing cars.
Yep.
But he's like, there's a scene where he goes to an ATM and he's like, he has like a car remote and he's like, boop-p-p-p-and-he's like, the car.
He's like, yeah, getting rich made me realize that money doesn't grow on trees.
It rains from the air.
and then he's like,
boop,
and then the money just comes out of the ATM
and all the kids are like,
ah!
And everyone's like scrambling for the money.
And then Romans on a plane,
Romans on a plane,
like a luxury private yacht
surrounded by supermodels.
And he's like,
they're all just,
you know,
we see them enjoying,
enjoying their little lives.
And then we come and see Luke Hobbs.
Mm-hmm.
Luke the Hobbs Johnson.
Yeah.
And he is like giving,
this, oh no, wait, hang on.
Imagine meeting a guy that looked like the rock, right?
He's gigantic, he's huge, he's mussela, he's very scary.
And he's like, hello, I'm Luke.
He's like, no, no, you're not.
Is it the same if he says, I'm Dwayne?
Yeah, you're right.
Hello, I'm Dwayne.
So Dwayne is working through a case.
He's like at the office late at night.
Can I ask you, Michelle, before you go on?
you mentioned so many of the actors in these films are big stars
were all of them
I mean the rock came in as a big star
Vin Diesel was he known before this
like what I'm trying to ask is
did this make people big
yes
and some of them came in big
some of them came in big
a good question and well asked
but like
like I was thinking Galgado
No, I'd never heard of her before Wonder Woman.
This is her on-screen debut.
Is it right?
Yeah, cool.
I'm pretty sure, yeah.
I didn't remember that she was in the franchise.
That's cool.
A lot of people don't.
Amazing how many big star actors are in here.
And I was wondering if this was like a star-creating vehicle.
Got jar in that?
Jar.
So Luke Hobbs and Riley Hicks, that's a new cop that Hobbs always calls woman.
He's always like, damn, woman.
And it's very annoying.
But we still look.
love him because he's our dad and he's from a different time israeli a woman yeah okay yeah
calls him a woman yeah he's just like come on woman yeah I don't know anyway they investigate the
destruction of a Russian military convoy uh and there's a crew that's been led by former British
SAS major and special ops soldier Owen Shaw so Owen is like gone rogue and now he's like
attacked this thing oh I mean he's very this is Jason Statham is it this Jason Statham
Holy shit, Jason Statham.
Oh my God.
So Jason Statham actually plays the brother.
Oh, right, okay.
So I just get excited when there's a possibility of Jason Statham,
one of my favorite all-time actors.
Listen, we are definitely getting to him,
but he's played by Luke Evans.
This is a very important, furious family.
This is like the second family in the...
Okay.
This is the second family.
Sorry I jumped the gun there.
No, that's okay.
It gave me time to Google Owen Shaw's actor name.
I was hoping you were going to say Owen Wilson was the bad guy.
No, special ops soldier, Owen Wilson.
Oh my God.
So Hobbs is like, okay, I need help.
They're like, you need to get a crew together and get this guy
because he's like one of the best agents.
He's like, he's sure he can do anything.
He's S-A-S.
Like he's like, he's going to do everything.
And now he's gone rogue.
And so Hobbs is like, all right, I'll get, I know what crew I'm going to get.
and the camera zooms in on him
and then he's like, hey, Dom,
and he shows him a picture of Letty,
which is like attached to this whole situation.
And obviously he's with Elena now,
but Elena's like, well, if my husband died,
if there was any, if my husband was like possibly alive,
of course I would have to go, so you have to go.
So that kind of gets him off Scott Free.
And he's like, okay, she's very understanding.
Who's Elena's Galgadot?
No, that's Giselle.
Elena is the cop whose husband died.
Galgado was in Braga's team and then her...
I don't know why you thought getting me to do this podcast would be a good idea.
Can I ask one question that is when...
What's the name?
Elena, Dom's new girlfriend, said,
Look, I understand if my husband died, I'd have to go.
Does he go?
Okay.
And then leave straight away and she's like, oh, that was...
I was just trying to be nice.
I was trying to look good.
I was just saying, oh, you went too quick there.
It's quite a complex series of feelings that I'm having.
No worries, lady.
High five, going to leave.
Yeah, it's kind of that.
See you, tuts.
All right, see you, tuts.
I've got to go find my gal.
Giddo?
I'm so confused.
Anyway, so he's like, all right, I'm going to help you capture Shaw.
And everybody, he needs the full team.
So he rounds them all up,
caused them up during their escapades,
Roman on his private jet, Tej with his money in the air.
Giselle and Hahn are in Hong Kong.
I think they're eating at a restaurant when local police heavily armed show up and they're
like, they pull the gun on Han and Jazeel and Han and Jaze.
They're like, whoa, whoa, because they're having this beautiful conversation about like,
we should settle down and like chill out.
And he's like, this is, she's like, this is how we live, it's fine.
And then these cops comes around and they get up and they're like pulled guns like
back to back.
It's like this amazing.
Yes.
And then the cops give them a phone and they're like, hello and it's Dom.
So this is Dom's just like cool.
The cash cow.
I wake up with today.
Oh dear.
It's very dramatic and cool.
And yeah, they say I wake up with today.
Dominie's crew, they all accept the mission in exchange for their amnesty
and allowing them to return to the US.
So again, they're going for the clean record.
They're going to become cops to get the clean record as is the style of this film.
Elena, because she's a cop, she's like, I'm going to stay with Mia and I'll protect the baby and Mia.
Okay.
Yeah.
I guess that's nice.
Yeah.
Pretty nice.
Pretty nice.
I think it's pretty nice.
But Elena, he's gone off to find his other love.
Yeah.
Like, if you're still here where he comes like, that's going to actually be very weird.
Yeah, you should go.
Like, where do you think you fit in this?
Poor Elena.
She's so nice, dude.
You seem really nice, but like, fuck off.
Do you know what I mean?
Like, take a hint.
Yeah, it's embarrassing.
Oh, you're going to stay with his sister?
Oh.
No, it's fine.
I'll just become a full-time babysitter.
Yeah, it's okay.
I'll just stay and protect your family.
That I can't be a part of it.
That I'm definitely not invited to be.
Don't you think, I mean, Dom's not taken the hint.
His wife has left.
She's moved on.
She's dead.
Yeah.
I thought she was dead.
Yeah, but she's moved on.
She's got another job.
She's on the other side of the world.
She got to come back if she wanted to.
Yeah, if she wanted to talk to him, she would have.
Yeah, maybe he's being a sod.
But I think he's just refusing to believe.
What does that mean?
It's a misogynist.
Okay.
Sodge.
Sodge.
Matt's a feminist of the pot.
He doesn't actually know about misogyny.
We haven't been telling him about it.
Protected him.
Yeah.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah.
You didn't want him to worry.
I'm so deep in a feminism.
I don't even know what misogyny means.
Okay, sweetheart.
Oh, dear.
In London, they find Owen Shaw's hideout, but it is a trap.
And it distracts them and the local police,
while Shaw and his crew do a big heist at an Interpol building.
Shaw flees, detonating his hideout and disabling most of the police.
He sort of, he, Tom, Brian Tej, I should say, Han is there.
Everyone's there. Everyone you've heard of.
Plus Riley and Hobbs.
Oh, my God.
Riley is this random new woman, new cop.
Letty arrives to help shore
She shoots Dom
Without escaping
So she turns out
And she's just like bang
Like she doesn't kill him
But she shoots him
Why she's shoot?
I mean the message is clear
Obviously she's left you
In your country
Now she shot you
Obviously take a message
But in his mind he's going
Well she didn't shoot to kill
So
I think he does say that
I think he does make a statement
She was sending me a message
She loves me
Yeah
She's shot me in the heart
So that means
Yeah.
She shot my brain and my heart.
Yeah.
I think she loves me.
So Hobbs explains to Dom's crew that Shaw's stealing all these components.
He's making this device that's going to shut down all the power in the world.
And then he's going to sell it to a terrorist.
Okay.
Shaw's investigation into the opposing crew.
So he's like looking out and just being like, who are these people who are coming after me?
And he says a picture of Letty with them and he's like, what the fuck?
And then Lettie's like, why don't, that's from my life before I have amnesia.
Yes, I love amnesia.
She's got amnesia, which is very, very so pop-bri.
It really is a high-budget Neighbors, isn't it, with action?
It's very camp on purpose, and I love it.
You're right, very telenovela.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't remember you.
I have amnesia.
Yeah.
No, I don't remember.
Don't worry about it.
It's a big reveal.
They got a lot of their ideas from Harold from Neighbors.
They did.
When he hit his head.
Dom's the Harold.
He woke up in Tasmania.
He floated across the Bastray.
and started a new life
because he forgot about his old life.
This is,
holy shit.
It's based on an article and Harold.
In the pitch meeting,
this article plus Harold equals
Fast and Furious and they went,
how much money do you want?
If she starts playing the tuba
and working for the Salvation Army,
then this is getting a plagiarism.
This is getting a plagiarism.
That's it.
That's it.
I'm slapping a plagiarism on this.
This is getting a plagiarism.
Dom's crew finds out that
Shaw is connected to Braga.
Remember Braga?
Yeah.
The real one or the fake one?
The real one who made the coffee.
The Barista brother.
The Barista Brother.
Barista Braga.
Barista Braga.
So who's connected to him?
Shaw, the English guy.
Sure.
Yeah.
They're like, hang on, he's got ties to Braga.
What's going on?
So, Tej goes and gets a bunch of cars.
Sure.
His bit.
That's his job.
He's always like, he's the cars.
That's his answer to everything.
Well, guys, he's the cars.
Dude, dude, hop him.
Yeah.
We need cars?
No, just a glass of water with beer.
I need your car.
There's skyline, here you go.
Yeah.
Got a cup holder in it, you put your water in there.
And I should say, I forget, actually, Brian...
BYU-Y-O-W-W-I-W-I-W-I-W.
I think Braga was...
B-YO-O-W-I-O-H-L-B-A.
That's all I wanted.
Bragga was, I think, I think, he was captured.
He was not killed.
Okay.
And I say, I think, because now I'm remembering that Brian goes to question Braga.
Okay.
Who is alive, or a zombie.
It's unclear.
So is he has amnesia?
Yeah, he's in prison.
He's making coffees.
He's making coffees.
And Lettie's like, and he says Lettie survived the explosion and Shaw took her in after discovering that she had amnesia, which doesn't make sense because we just saw her tell him.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I don't remember Dom.
I don't remember loving Dom.
Yeah.
I've never loved Dom in my life.
I never loved Dom in the Dominican Republic where the weather is sunny and then rainy.
Anyway, Brian is released.
So I should say, when I say Brian went to go question Brago at prison, in prison, he couldn't get in to question him.
He had to get arrested.
So he's a prisoner and then he has to get out of prison, which is, for some reason, they were like, this is the only way we can get to him.
Write him a letter.
He wasn't replying.
But do they realize it was after visiting hours?
They're like, I can't wait until tomorrow.
Yeah.
I'll do a crime.
I'll do a crime.
I'm sure if I get arrested,
I will end up in jail at this exact spot,
probably in the room next door,
maybe even in the bunk above.
Yeah, that was the, yeah.
Almost definitely somehow that'll work.
Yeah.
Dom's trying to get Lettys,
like trying to get her to remember things.
Like he's always just like being like,
how am I going to help her?
But obviously that's, you know,
she's all fucked and there's nothing that can be done.
She doesn't remember him.
And she's fighting again.
against him. So Shaw offers Dom a chance to walk away.
Why don't you just hit her on the head again?
And see if it works. Turn it off and on again.
On the other side.
That works in other things.
Yeah, it's got a bit the same time when the lightning's flashing.
Yeah, just smack her on the head.
I think I'm particularly thinking about what women want in that case.
Yeah, it's that.
That's the whole thing.
Anyway, so they've got to get this.
There's like a high...
The movie, that is.
That I wasn't just thinking about.
I'm always thinking.
You're always thinking about what women want.
As a feminist, I'm always thinking about it.
What do they want?
Always.
And what is it that they want?
That's beautiful.
I think from memory, it's a campaign for Nike.
Yeah, you're right.
Memory serves me.
I love that stuff.
So did you say that Shaw gave Dom an opportunity to walk away?
Yeah, he's like, you should walk away.
Don't do this.
Just walk away, leave her with me.
Otherwise, I'm going to hurt your family.
And he's like, that is my family.
You've already got my family.
Yeah.
He's like, she's my world.
I'm not leaving.
her.
So Tej tracks Shaw's next attack down to a NATO base in Spain.
And Cruz, sorry, Shaw's crew assaults a highway military convoy carrying some computer
chip.
That's like the final bit in his fancy terrorism device.
Obviously Dom's crew gets in there, tries to get in the way of that.
And Shaw and Letty commandeer a tank and then destroy a bunch of cars.
Brian and Roman flip the tank and then Lettie's thrown from the tank.
and then Lettie's thrown from the vehicle and Dom saves it.
She's thrown from the tank.
Or does she hit her head again?
This could be good.
Well, she doesn't hit her head again.
But Shaw and his crew are captured.
Brian apologises to Lettie for getting her into this mess because he's like,
I put you under cover for Braga.
This is my fault.
And she's like kind of confused, but she's like, I guess I'm starting to sort of chill out
and remember a bit.
Giselle and Hahn decided to finally settle down after this and go to Tokyo.
They're like, we're going to go to Tokyo.
And we're all like, no, go to Tokyo again.
Oh, so this is where it fits in after this one, does it take it?
Yeah, it's after this.
So all's going well until Shaw reveals Mia's been kidnapped again by his hench.
Elena, where were you?
By his henchmen.
Elena was like, you know what?
This is actually weird.
It's weird that I should go.
I should give space.
Mia, you good?
Okay.
I'm going to pack up some stuff.
Yeah.
I'm going to go look for my husband.
Probably not dead.
Even if he comes back, it's going to be weird.
It's going to be weird.
She's like, I'm going to go to look for my husband, Harold.
I've heard he's in Tasmania.
No idea where that is.
I'll find it.
Follow my heart and I find Tasmania.
So they're all there.
They think that everything's good because they've got Shaw
and Hobbs is like great and there's this annoying police officer,
not the woman Riley but another police officer who's like just annoying to Hobbs.
And he's like, well, okay, well let's do everything by the book.
And Hobbs is like, I'm a fun cop.
And then Shaw is like, hey Hobbs, I've got to tell you something.
thing and Shaw was like I got Mia I got Mia kidnapped by my boys and then Hobbs is like hey excuse me
Dom I have to tell you something and he tells him that Mia's been kidnapped and that Owen wants to be
released sure wants to be released in exchange from otherwise Mia's going to get killed and the other cop
that's annoying is like well that doesn't change anything but it's like yeah you're exactly right
like that doesn't change you don't negotiate a terrorist and then Hobbs is like it changes everything
and he pulls a gun on the other cop.
And now he's like, he's just full on their side now and he's like, uncuff him.
And then Riley, his like cop partner is like, yep, and uncuffs Shore,
uncuffs all the Shaw's men.
They start walking out of the compound.
And then Shaw turns around and says, are you coming, babe?
And we see a shot of Letty.
And she's like, uncomfortable and doesn't know what to do.
And then we hear, of course I wouldn't miss it from Riley.
The cop that was working with Hobbs.
Oh, my God.
I don't know
What's
The one you kept calling
Woman
Oh not the one that was like
We absolutely
We shouldn't let these people go
No that's the annoying man
Oh sorry
O'Reilly's like
I'm the babe
Yeah
Yeah she's like
I am babe
Baby's my name
Are you coming babe
Hell yeah I am babe
I am babe
And she's like
Why doesn't anyone know my fucking name
In this movie?
Woman babe
It's very annoying
So this is going to be an annoying question
But who's Mia?
Mia is the same
sister, Brian's sister who, the tuna.
No, no, Brian's partner.
Oh, Brian's partner.
Dome's sister.
Oh, God.
Brian's sister and the mother of his child.
It's a complicated film.
Normal.
It's normal.
It's normal.
It's all in the family.
But so, but that is a big reveal moment, is it?
It's a big reveal, yeah.
And, yeah.
And Hobbs is like, looks at Dom before he lets him go and he's like, just so you know,
when he walks out the door with that chip that's going to kill the world.
When he walks out there, words like pardon and, you know, exonerated, they walk out with him.
And Dom's like, they walked out the day I was born.
Oh, shut up.
What is that?
What is that mean?
It's unclear.
Like, it's not clear what.
So then why'd you do all this?
Maybe his parents were called, like, exonerated and amnesty.
But is the doctor and my OBGYN they were named exonerated.
And they just walked out.
They did.
Are they basically saying that we can go and kill these people?
Laws don't apply anymore.
Is that what they're saying?
Is that what they're saying?
They're saying like Hobbs is going, all right, I'm going to let them go.
We're going to catch them again.
But because I'm going to let them go, if you want to let them go, I'm here for you.
I'll give you this one.
But I can't get your pardon anymore.
Why do they let them go?
Because they've got Mia.
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
And Brian's there.
And Mia's on the phone.
And Brian's like, that's my baby's there.
And my baby mom is there.
I'm so lost.
I know. I can't, I can't.
But which is good because I'm going to watch this soon.
I don't want to know at all.
Yeah.
I'm getting a real flavor of it.
You just know the reveals and the pot twist.
I'll just, yeah, the twists are. Look, it's very fun.
I'm going to, letty's like, I'm going to stay here with Dom and my family,
even though she doesn't really remember them, but she stays with them.
And then they run after shore.
They go after shore and Shaw's like on a plane and they chase the plane on the world's longest runway.
So the scene goes for 13 minutes, right?
Right?
It's so 13 minutes.
Too long.
The plane is in motion the entire time.
Amazing.
So there's people who've done the maths on the internet
and it looks like the runway is about 42 kilometres long.
And the longest one in the world is 5.6.
That's so fun.
It's just like on the runway for ages.
And they like tether their cars to it to like slow it down.
They're fighting on it.
Kids grow old.
They're just almost going to take off.
Yeah.
There's pregnancies.
Yeah.
I love that they still made that in the film
and I love that people have gone,
nah,
that means that runway is 42 kilometres long,
you idiots.
You idiots.
It's very funny.
Hope someone got fired for that blunder.
That's the best part of the movie.
It's a wee part.
So Giselle and Hahn are fighting.
They're in like a car that's weighing down the plane.
They're fighting with that henchmen.
And Han's like, be careful.
And Giselle's like, this is who we are.
and then Han gets attacked by a henchman and Giselle kills him sacrificing herself because she somehow like flies off into the ether.
She like jumps off the car flying towards what I can only assume is like the engine of the plane and shoots in the air and gets killed.
And that's gal.
And that's gal and that's gal Godowed.
That's how she Godotos.
Galcagon.
The galga gone.
And then that's why Han is like, well, I'm going to, she said we should go to Tokyo.
So I'm going to go to Tokyo.
That's why he goes to Tokyo after this.
Oh, and we're all screaming, stop it.
Yeah, but they get the chip back.
Okay.
And they give it to Hobbs so they do get their amnesty, which is good.
But does Shaw die on the plane as he get away?
Shaw doesn't die.
He's in hospital under heavy police guard.
Okay.
And he's like knocked, like he's pretty fucked up.
But yeah.
And then at the end, which is something they often do, they have a barbecue at the end.
Yep.
Dom's crew, they gather, share a meal.
Share a corona.
Have a corona.
Dom's like, does it feel familiar?
she says no it doesn't feel familiar but it feels like home and he says that's good enough for me
and then the crew sit down there and Elaine is like Lottie can I get you a burger or like she's
still there she's like now where do I stand here so she doesn't remember you or particularly like you
but you're still I'm still gone okay I'm still on the couch because I remember you
I remember you quite and I've actually I love you yeah
Is that not worth anything?
But no, no, no, I'll just go do some dishes.
Okay, you guys enjoy your barbecue.
Enjoy, have a nice time.
I'll just be nearby if anybody wants anything.
Here you need.
Yeah.
In a mid-credits scene, Han.
Love it, in a car chase, and he's suddenly brought,
broadsided by an oncoming car.
So the driver walks away after leaving,
which we've already seen in Tokyo Drift.
It's the death in Tokyo Drift.
And then we see a driver leave Lettie's Cross,
you know, this silver cross,
which is a character by the crash and calls the driver calls Dom and says Dominic Torretto
you don't know me but you're about to and then the car explodes and that is the voice of
your favourite actor Jason Statham oh why is he involved in that here he comes here comes in Furious
seven there are 350 cars have been wrecked in the sixth film Michelle can you say it like you
know why we were surprised that was Jason Statham you didn't
Do you mind doing that line properly.
I'll get you into character with one of my favorite lines.
What makes you think I'd risk my life for you?
It's a Megladod.
Okay, now go.
All right, hang on, hang on.
Dominic Touretto, you don't know me, but you're about to.
You're just like a nailed that.
That was great.
Thank you.
Can you now say my favorite other Jason State in line,
which is in one of the Expendables movies where he's dressed as a priest
and he's doing a religious ceremony
is some bad henchmen walking
and he goes,
I now pronounce you man and knife
and stabs the man
It's so funny
It's so funny
The expendable
That's really funny
I'm going to write that down
It's two or three
I want to see that
That's the best thing I've ever heard
One of my favourites
I think it's the start of the second one maybe
There's like a big fight scene happening
And he and sly are up of the
They're looking down and they're just like this
Voo, and my sister Lowe looks at him and he goes,
I'll get in the text.
Man, it's nice though.
Jesus, that's good.
That is so good.
It's poetry.
Oh, it's very good.
My favourite line of his isn't funny like that,
but it's one I always think of him is like at the start of probably
lockstock and he's like, is it even him?
But I'm picturing it as him.
I know what you're going to say.
I love it.
You know what you're going to say.
Too late, too late will be the cry with a man with the bargain, pass you by.
And he's like on the street doing like a little...
Yeah, because he used to do that sort of confidence,
tricks and stuff in his real life.
Really?
Oh.
I thought you were going to say, no, thanks, Turkish.
I'm sweet enough.
That is not.
Yeah.
I thought that too.
Because Matt says that a lot.
You say it all the time.
No, thanks Turkish.
I'm sweet enough.
But that's not, he doesn't say that.
That's Bricktop's saying it to him.
There's a bit in this up.
upcoming film, or one of the upcoming films, where Dominic Taredo says, I don't got friends,
they got family.
And Decard Shaw, Jason Satham says, well, I got a lot of friends.
That's great.
That's good.
He's the best.
Okay, when we finish with Brendan Frazier's filmography, we have to move on to Jason Satham.
I tried to watch them all in lockdown, but I only watched the Hobbs and Shaw spin-off, so I haven't
seen any of these.
Yeah, right.
I would call it green
Green stath and ham
Look just workshopping
No that's good
Call it that, call it that, call it that
That's it.
You've nailed it in one.
Finished.
Finished.
Much like phrasing the bar as you nailed in one.
Green state and ham.
So we've just, we've done six.
We're up to them seven.
Yeah.
And there's nine of them.
And I think it's, is it Friday now?
Yeah.
Time's all meaning.
All right.
go real quick through these.
Let me try my best.
I'm not even saying, I'm just saying a plot.
No, I'm having a great time.
Good.
Furious 7 was released in 2015.
It was directed this time by James Wan of Saw fame, Australian.
Oh, yeah, cool.
Principal photography started in September of 2013,
but it was stalled in November when Paul Walker
tragically died in a car accident.
He was, yeah, driving it over 100 miles per hour,
I think, and lost control of the car.
This wasn't like during filming
It wasn't part of that
It was just he just liked fast cars
One of the cars that you see him driving
In this film is actually just his car
One of his cars
He loved cars
They were halfway through filming
When he died
And they kept all that footage
And just rode it in
Basically yeah
So when he passed away
Walker had nowhere near
Completed his scenes in the film
So the studio used some stand-ins
And then CGIed his face
On to their face
Oh, 2013 level CGI.
2015.
Oh, 2015.
Well, they started it in 2013 and released it in 2015 because obviously it took a long time.
But two stand-ins for him were his brothers.
As a fan, if you're watching it, do you notice?
Oh, I can't tell because I'm short-sighted.
People always say, oh, you can always tell the bits where it's him and where it's not.
And I'm like, I can't tell.
It looks exactly the same to me.
You put him in all the movies, honestly, I wouldn't know.
Same thing happened in the Star Wars reboots where they had like one of the old generals,
some of the original movies was in it.
And I was like, Jesus, that guy's old.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He was old 50 years ago.
He looks old, but not that much older.
And then later, I'm like, everyone was like, yeah,
I was weird, wasn't it, when they had that general guy, CGI?
Couldn't even, it was all I could think about.
And I was like, oh, that's all I was thinking.
I couldn't think about.
In the prequels or the sequels.
Get a letter from the queen.
A guy, they just fully did like he was all CGR, right?
You're thinking.
What am I thinking of?
You're thinking of...
Jab of a heart.
Yeah.
He's a CGI.
It's a man.
This is a human.
I was going to say,
you're thinking Jar Jar Jha Binks
and I couldn't think of Jaja Binks.
Everybody's favorite character.
Jha Jha Jarl,
which is Jarl when he was Jarl.
And then he was Jha Jail
Binks when he was a bit older.
No, it's just Binks.
He's Binks.
Big Binks.
Anyway, so the movie is quite respected among fans
for paying tasteful tribute to Paul Walker,
which it really could have fucked up.
Like, they're CGIing.
It could have been Frankenstein
and,
awful but it was really quite beautiful.
This is the film that made me fall in love and go back and watch all the other films.
I bawled my eyes out in this movie.
This is the reason I'm here today yelling the plot of some films at you.
Right, this is the one.
This is why.
You just like get through the first six.
Yeah.
But it's worth it by seven.
I do think it's worth it by five, but that's fine.
It grows 397.6 million worldwide in its opening weekend, which is the highest
of all time at the time.
After defeating Shaw, so Shaw is now in the hospital, badly, badly burned and hurt.
They got amnesty for their past crime.
So now they're free.
Again, they don't have to be cops and they're allowed to be free.
Dom, Brian and the team are back in the US.
They're living their lives.
Brian, this is Paul Walker.
Accustomed himself to life as a father.
I'm just saying that for Matt.
Accustomed himself to life as a father.
And Dom's trying to help Lettie regain her memory.
So he's like slowly, you know, reintroducing her to things that she's done before,
things they used to do when they were kids.
Owen's older brother, Descartes, Jason Statham,
breaks into a hospital, which is like high security hospital,
where his comatose brother Owen is being held.
And he's like, oh, what you fucking gone and done?
Like, he's like that.
Oh, Owen, I'm always having to bail you out.
Yeah, it's a little brother.
So he breaks into the hospital,
and then he goes and breaks into Hobbs' office in L.A.
to extract profiles of Dom's crew for revenge against his brother.
To be honest, his brother was trying to sell a big weapon to terrorists,
which would have ended the world that he also lives in.
Yeah.
But I don't know.
I think he's being a baby, but I wouldn't be defending that brother, to be honest.
I'd be like, I wouldn't sure, no relation.
Yes.
Same.
What's the point of making money out of ending the world?
What are you doing with his money?
Can't take it with you, as I say.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I guess the idea is like you sell the money to the terrorist,
then the terrorist becomes a leader, like a, what's the word for a,
a fascist leader, like a leader who's, you know, a dictator?
A dictator.
Yeah, but you can become a dictator if you hold of the power, if you hold the, you know, the nuclear arms.
Anyway, after revealing his identity, Descartes fights Hobbs.
And there's a lot of really cool fight scenes here.
And also Elena is there.
They have a big fight.
She's like, I don't know where I belong.
I guess I'll work with a big cop.
Yeah, I guess I'll go back to copping.
Yeah.
He starts calling a woman.
She's like, he doesn't know.
And she's like, I guess I deserve that.
At least he remembers I'm here.
The Deckard like detonates a bomb.
I'm not really bad for Elena.
He detonates a bomb and then like jumps out a window.
It severely injures Hobbs.
And Hobbs and Elena are both okay though.
They escape.
Out on the front porch of Dom's house where we see all the barbecues,
Mia and Dummer out there,
she's like, oh, a package from Tokyo.
and he's like, oh, Han's trying to convert me to some different type of turbo charge something.
And Dom, and they have a little laugh.
They go, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Classic Hahn.
Classic Hahn.
And then Dom learns Mia is pregnant again.
Oh, my God, Mia.
Yeah, she's standing there.
She's like, oh, she's watching Brian put her son, their son in the car.
She's like, I don't think he's very happy.
He told me the other day he misses the bullets.
Like, it's like having full existential crisis.
Like, he's having a midlife crisis.
Yeah.
So he doesn't miss the girls.
He doesn't miss the car chase.
he misses the bullets.
Oh my God, you'd be hitting the panic button at that point.
Yeah, and Dom's like, she's like, I feel like the picket fence is strangling him.
And he's like, no, he's happy, he'll be fine.
Give him a bit of time to adjust.
And she's like, how does nine months sound?
And Dom's like, oh my God.
And she's like, eh.
And she's true reveal.
She hasn't told Brian yet.
She got pregnant on that runway in the last film.
Yeah.
And gave birth on the runway still.
Yeah.
Anyway, so that's totally fine.
They're just having this little deep, mean.
he's putting the kid in the car and then the phone rings and he picks up the phone
dumb picks up the phone and he goes Dominic Tourettoe you don't know me but you're about to
and then the package on the front porch explodes and then God the timing yeah it's amazing
when it happens in the cinema it's fucking amazing because it's like oh my god Tokyo
drift is now like it's so amazing for me and not according to your face not you man
Oh, I love it.
And then is everyone in the cinema being like, oh, so weird that they're all driving 2004 cars.
Wow.
Yeah, everyone says that.
Everyone says that.
It's like when you throw spoons.
You know, Japan.
Very, very behind.
Yeah, they're technology.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, cars are technology.
They're in the dark ages.
Because you would have been watching it like premiere night as well where everyone's dressing up as.
Yeah, midnight screening.
What you dress up as?
G. T.
I went as a Volkswagen Beetle.
I'm Herbie.
I imagine some, if you go to the early ones,
the whole cinema would have been like,
but if you went and saw it a month after the release,
not so much.
You're the only one yelling in the Chatson cinema
with all the people.
Just be going, wee!
But yeah, it was very exciting.
Brian really quickly chucks his son in the car
and, like, closes the door of the van
and then gets on the ground.
Everyone's fine.
Everyone survives the explosion.
Oh, that would have been a really good chance to kill him.
Yeah, they didn't do it.
They did not do that.
So Dom travels, but you think the whole time you're like,
how's he going to die?
How's he going to die?
How's he going to die?
So Dom goes to Tokyo to get Han's body.
And then that's when he meets, obviously he meets Sean,
who is like the guy, the army, military guy.
He's the white guy who does the driving in Tokyo drift.
He's not important, but he meets Sean.
And Sean's like, here's Hans.
stuff and he gives him some stuff that was found from the burning wreckage, a picture of
Giselle.
The animals.
Yeah, a picture of a gazelle.
He said that a couple weeks ago we talked about.
Tom Brady's wife, Dazelle.
Look at his regret face.
That's so good.
And a, and, and, uh, Ledy's necklace.
Yeah.
The cross.
The cross.
The cross is there.
But, uh, Brad from home improvement.
Yeah.
Well, just wait.
As Dom, Brian, Tej and Roman, Morn Hahn and Giselle at Hahn's funeral.
So they're mourning both of them at the funeral in L.A.
Dom confronts Descartes in like an underground tunnel.
And he's like, let's do this man to man.
And Deccard's like, no.
And he's like, no.
There's like a bit where like John keeps trying to just fight him like with his fists.
And Deccard keeps being like, but I have weapons, no.
Like there's a bit where Dom drives his car towards Deca,
like they're just front two cars, just driving at each other.
Dom's like, oh, I've got the most biggest car.
And then Deccard's like reinforced his front bit of the car,
which is like a real dick move apparently.
Yeah.
And they're like, everyone judges him because they're like,
who fucking does that?
Who uses a weapon in a fight?
But that's fine.
So they're having that fight.
And then Dom's kind of losing.
But then...
That is so funny.
A bit of a dog acting.
We're going to have a front-on collision.
We only use cars.
Come on.
Okay?
Not lead cars.
It's car to car, man.
Come on.
Anyway, so then, like, military black ops people just, like, descend in this underground
thing.
And they're like, hello, stop the fighting.
And then there's a guy who walks up and he's like, hi, I'm Mr. Nobody.
Dom, I want you to come and work with me.
And then Dom's like, I don't understand this.
But Mr. Nobody's important.
He stays there.
So he's like a government guy.
And he's like, I'll help you to stop Descartes.
if you help me because I need to get something.
And he needs to get the gods eye.
So he's like, there's a thing called the God's Eye,
which can hack into any mainframe and like find anyone.
So if I go, God's Eye, where's Matt Stewart?
It'll go, he's just left the McDonald's in Fitzroy.
Holy shit.
And so I know exactly where everyone is.
And he's like, if you find that for me and you rescue the creator of the God's Eye,
then also I will let you use the God's Eye to find and kill Deckard Shaw.
Even though you just had a...
You just had a shot and I did ruin it.
I did ruin it.
And you were probably going to win.
Yeah, but I did ruin it.
That's confusing.
I will let you, as a government official, I will let you use this incredibly terrifying tool to kill someone.
You get it.
You get it first.
Don't use it then.
Because you'll obviously have a chance to use it then and then sell it or whatever.
But don't do that.
You give it to me and then I'll give it back to you.
I'll give you one.
I'll give you one.
You get the first go, but only one.
Is this going to be the longest podcast ever?
No, sadly.
Okay.
It's getting there.
It's getting there.
We're tracking.
We're on track.
Actually, yeah, maybe.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
All right.
Okay, let me just go through this.
So in this film, they're like, yep, okay, we'll go do it.
So they go and there's a terrorist.
His name's Moses.
That's fine.
He's around.
And they go and save the hacker and creator of the gods eye.
She's like a smart little hacker and creator, inventor, inventor, woman.
She's played by Natalie Emanuel, who is Kalesisie's right-hand man in Game of Thrones.
So she's there.
They've got to go rescue her.
They rescue her in one of their truck hests.
The truck ends up dangling over off cliff
and Vin Diesel just kind of runs up the truck
as the truck falls into the...
Fuck, that's good.
Yeah, it's real good.
Does anybody think to put the truck in reverse
when it started to go off the edge of the cliff?
No, they didn't think about it.
Why doesn't anybody think to chuck it in reverse?
They never do.
It's always just truck off the cliff.
So embarrassing.
All the time.
I wish more people knew how to drive.
It's embarrassing.
Chuck it in reverse.
It's very embarrassing.
Some of these actors
did learn how to drive during the first film.
Yeah.
And it's a treacherous mountain range that they're on.
So they're on this treacherous mountain range
and they're like,
it's very hard to get to.
The way that they get to this treacherous mountain range,
no way in,
you can't drive in.
You've got to hit them where they won't expect it
where it's physically impossible to get to, right?
So you're getting attacked these big armored vehicle
with their cars.
Yep.
The way they're going to do that
is they're going to parachute cars
out of a plane.
Yes, obviously.
Which is something they actually did.
So they really did this.
parachute stunt.
The film crew
pushed a bunch of vehicles
with parachutes,
I guess set to like
timers or remotes
or whatever
out of a C-130
because I guess
a car can't pull the street.
The cars don't have hands,
no.
Not yet.
They don't think of that
halfway down.
How are they going to pull the...
They're radioing the car.
All right Ferrari.
Now just pull the call.
Ferrari, can you hear me?
Oh no, I've lost contact.
Ferrari!
And they also had skydivers
jumping at the same time
to film the cars,
to get footage of the cars.
You'd have to not film each other.
Yeah.
Get out of the show.
Oh, no.
They're all wearing those green suits.
Yeah.
Paint each other out.
But it's pretty cool.
Beautiful.
That's wild.
They really did it.
They really, really did it.
That's fun.
I'm looking forward to that part.
It's fucking the best part.
And like Roman's car, because he's kind of always funny.
Roman's cars like drifts off the wrong spot.
He's like, ah!
Like Tokyo drifts off?
Yeah, Tokyo drifts off.
Anyway, so now...
I'm going to be like, in that scene when they're out in parachutes,
I'm going to be like, wee!
Yeah, he will be.
And now Natalie Emanuel, Ramsey, the hacker, is now part of their game.
Sure.
And they're trying to find the gods eye.
And she's like, well, I've got, I can make the gods eye again.
But she's got like a chip.
But the chip she gave to a guy and the guy put it in a car.
Don't know.
What?
Why?
Chips in cars.
Get some pockets in your pants.
Cargo pants.
Lots of pockets.
The car is located in a penthouse.
That's what someone said.
Just put it in your car.
go pan.
And I can go.
I'll put it in my car.
Go.
Pan.
Pong, brum.
Yeah.
It's weird they go confused by it.
It's pretty straightforward, but.
Okay.
So the car is in a penthouse.
It belongs to a billionaire.
They have to get in his,
a pillionaires having a party.
So the girls get invited by being hot.
They've got to get on the invite list.
Yeah, to a penthouse party.
So they go to the penthouse party.
Rhonda Rousey, who's like a WUW, yes, a wrestler.
UFC fighter, yep.
Her and Michelle Rodriguez have an amazing fight in like ball gowns.
It's very cool and feminist.
So take that, Matt.
Because you can be...
Wait, take that.
I'm on board.
I invented feminism.
This is what I do.
Yeah, take that as a reward.
Yeah.
Because feminism is all about women being able to do whatever they want to do.
If you want to put on a ball gown and like do your hair and your makeup,
wear some pretty heels, that's fine.
And if you want to, you know, kick the shit out of another woman, that's fine.
If you want to do the two at the same time, even better.
Fantastic. Let me film it.
Let me film it.
That's awesome.
Okay, so it is also, it's a, like in hypersport.
It's like a very fancy car.
The guy just has it.
He doesn't drive it.
Dom's like, this is a crime to keep this car up here and not drive it.
Like, he's very upset about it.
They get in there, find the little chippy thing, and then they get caught out,
which is when they have the fight with Ronda Rousey.
and because they get caught out and they need to get out,
what they do now, so they like lock down the penthouse,
no one can get in, no one can get out,
but they drive, so they're in the Hedy Had towers.
Did I tell you they went to Abu Dhabi?
I'm trying to breeze through this.
No, okay.
They're in the Adiad Towers.
And they choose to escape by driving the car.
No.
From one tower out the window of the penthouse,
out of the smash glass,
to the adjoining.
tower to the next tower.
They jump in a car from tower to tower, which is amazing.
Because they can't just take the chip out.
They have to take the car.
Well, they have to escape.
Right.
And I think they can't get it out.
But I don't know.
I don't know if that's what it is.
And also, Don was furious that he's wasting this good car at this pen.
Yeah.
So I'm going to stack it in this other building.
Yeah.
I'm going to fly this car.
Yeah.
This deserves to fly.
And so, yeah, so they do that.
And then they've got the little chippy thing
and they use the God's eye to find Deccard.
But then, yeah, that's when they go find Deca and they're like, excuse me.
And Dom's like, and Deccard's like, oh, he's eating a steak.
Like they get there to his secret hideaway and he's like, num, num, numb, numb,
I've been waiting for you.
And Dom's like, mm, ro.
And he's like, what did you expect?
Like, what do you expect?
May you just be waving a white flag?
Oh, that's good.
And he's like, I don't care about all your friends right of time.
he goes, I don't got friends.
I got family.
And then Deccard goes, well, I got a lot of friends.
And then the terrorist from before, Moses Jekande jumps out and he's like, I'm going to shoot you.
And then Mr. Nobody gets shot, but it's fine.
He calls one of those police helicopter ambulances that we've heard about from the first film.
Brian is also there and he shouldn't be there.
He's a dad.
He needs to go home.
I don't know why they haven't retired him, but they just refuse to do it.
He just keeps doing it.
He's like one more, one more last hurrah.
Um, so then they have this big sort of, they have a big fight through the streets because
Jikande, the terrorist is trying to get back to get the gods eye or to get Ramsey to make her make
another gods eye.
Yeah.
They have a high speed chase through the streets.
They're not in there.
I don't know what city this is.
It's not Abu Dhabi.
They're back in America.
Um, I think it's L.A.
Because there's like chaos in the streets and they're throwing Ramsey from car to car.
So he can't find her, but he's an helicopter.
They're throwing her from car to car.
Car to car.
just passing her around like go under a tunnel took her in your car you'll never find her
we've got to keep her safe we'll keep her safe chuck her over there
and she's like hacking the whole time so she's like didly teet tee tee tee tee tee tee tee tee
trying to hack just got a laptop yeah it's trying to hack hack hack hack hack you know how they do that nerds
hack hack hack hack hack hack how they do stop them yeah can't stop them
you say Brendan could you just sit and have dinner with your family one time hacking away
um
It's my son Brendan.
That's your son Brendan.
It's a big disappointment.
Okay, so Hobbs has been in the hospital this whole time from the start.
Sure.
And Hobbs looks out the window, he sees the chaos and he goes, oh no, and he stands up.
And he says to his little daughter who's there, he says, Daddy's got to go to work.
Get fucked.
And then he flexes his arm.
No.
Causing the cast on his arm to explode off his arm.
No.
And then he throws an ambulance, drives an ambulance into a drive.
drone that Jacende's like using and then he like, oh my god, there's grenades,
Descartes and Dom are having a showdown on the top of a parking lot, which they've
kind of ruined so it's crumbling around them. Dom gets Descartes by like stomping on the ground.
He's like, the thing about a street fight because this is that he's like,
finally we'll do it man to man. They're going to actually fight just fist to fist.
And they're doing that and then Dom's like the thing about a street fight is the street
always wins and he stomps his foot and then the parking lot just kind of collapses and then he has
to like get in the ramp and drive up into the helicopter it doesn't mean anything it doesn't mean anything
and then he drives into the he goes up a ramp into the helicopter what throws a bunch of grenades
that he just found in a car into the helicopter the rock shoots those grenades and it explodes but
dom has obviously jumped into the air as high as a helicopter in the car and so when he crashes
you know he's not in a good way but he is and he's not breathing and he comes back to life because
letty says I remember I remember everything I remember us getting married in the Dominican
Republic I remember that this necklace is the symbol of our it's our wedding ring like that's
our in place of a wedding ring and so he comes back to life okay so it's turned into a Disney movie
where true love true love true love prevails and um sure yep and then Brian's like all right
one single magical tear.
Yeah, that's basically...
It falls onto him.
It's funny because she's like, get off him!
And then she gets on him and just kind of does the same thing.
Because they're trying to make him breathe.
Anyway, it's fine.
And then Brian and Mia are playing happily on the beach with their son and having a nice time.
And they're like, it's going to be different now.
Because he's going to stay with his family.
And all the rest of the crew are kind of watching.
And they're like, say goodbye.
And they kind of leave.
And then Brian pulls up next to Dom in a different car.
And he's like, were you going to say goodbye?
you're going to leave without saying goodbye and he's like no you'll always be my brother you'll always be with me
and then i'm going to cry i had done this one first i would have gotten like it would have been worth it
but just thinking about the movie while rushing through it i'm genuinely upset
but it says for paul and then there's a fork in the road and they drive in two separate directions
and the music plays and it's that like it's been a lot there's a montage of paul walker
and all Brian's things that he's done,
and it says for Paul,
and it's so sad and very classy.
It doesn't sound like that
because of the helicopter and the grenades,
but trust me on this.
Oh, but they don't show the character being killed off.
He doesn't get killed.
He just goes to live, drives off into the sunset.
He's just retiring now.
They took that from neighbours as well, like Kyle O'Noke.
Kyle Minogue just moved to the Gold Coast.
Did he go with his two, he's with Mia and the Sun?
Yeah, yeah.
He's retiring from crime now to be a fan.
He's ready.
now to settle down.
That's like the, he's ready for the next,
oh, it's so sad.
But that's, I like that.
I like that they didn't just, you know,
it sounds like there were many opportunities
where they could have killed him off.
They nearly killed him so many times,
it was almost a joke.
But yeah.
And that was the first time that I remember
noticing the Fast and the Furious franchise again
because it like grossed so much money
the box office.
It was like the fifth highest grossing movie
of all time up to that point or something.
And I was like,
hang on a second.
These movies are massive again.
Right.
Yeah.
It's pretty wild.
That's really interesting.
Also, you,
did you guys see that Paul Walker's daughter
was walked down the aisle by Vin Diesel?
Yeah.
No, I didn't see that.
That's nice.
That's very nice.
Yeah, she got married and Vin Diesel did it.
Oh, beautiful.
Oh, that sounds like familiar.
Also, it might seem like
Hobbes, Duane Norock Johnson and Vin Diesel were in different movies
in this film.
We don't really see.
the much together. Yeah, that's true. And the reason is that's because when the spat happened.
That's when this spat happened. I feel like this is going for too long. No, I think this is the
most important bit so far. You've got to explain the spat. All right. Okay. So there's a little
spat. So it happened. So the rock in, I think it was 2016, just finishing up shooting
fate of the Furious when he finally acknowledged it. But into the,
In 2017, there was rumors of it boiling.
So in 2016, he said,
there's no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one.
This is on Instagram.
My female co-stars are always amazing and I love them.
My male co-stars, however, are a different story.
Some conduct themselves as stand-up men and true professionals,
while others don't.
The ones that are too chicken shit to do anything about it anyway.
Candy asses.
Wait, who tweeted that?
Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Wow, that seems out a character for The Rock.
taking it public
Yeah
Took it public
He must have been furious
Yeah
Yeah
And fast
And fast as well
And fast
Yeah
And then Vin sort of came back
And was downplayed it
And was like
You know I think it's been
Blown out of proportion to bit
And I protect everyone
I said
I protect my little brother
Dwayne
He always calls him
My little brother Dwayne
Yuck
Sorry but I mean
It's Dwayne the Rock
Chum
That must piss
The Rock off surely
Yeah
I think he doesn't
Probably
Yeah he said
I protect the franchise
I protect everyone
including Dwayne, I protected Dwayne more than he'll ever know and it doesn't matter.
He doesn't have to know, but he appreciates it.
He knows it.
Dwayne has only got one VIN in his life.
Dwayne Johnson only has one big brother in this film world and that's me.
And Johnson said, I got one big brother and it's my half brother and that's it.
That's my actual brother.
You dumb shit.
So he came out and said, that's wrong.
No.
Incorrect.
Yeah.
So.
It's so funny to be like, no, we're really close.
I think we've got a brother relationship.
and the other guy's like, nah.
Oh, we do not have that.
Either Finn Diesel, is it fully misread it or he was just trying to like PR it away?
He was trying to PR it away.
And he's been like very sneaky.
Like he did it recently.
He was like, oh, all the fans want you to join, brother.
Come on, you got to come back for Fast 10.
Everyone wants you.
What do you say?
And The Rock was like, I've publicly distanced myself from this.
This kind of is hard.
Like, you can't do that.
You're trying to manipulate me.
Stop it.
Oh, didn't he say like.
you know my kids call you Uncle Dwayne or something.
Uncle Dwayne, you're always Uncle Dwayne in my house.
Not a holiday goes by that you don't send, you know, card or whatever.
Don't bring your kids into this man.
This is weird.
Yeah, he's like, fuck off, you're being a child.
But were they only in, sorry, that was F7 and they weren't really in the movie together.
Was it, I mean, was it only Furious Six that they were basically?
Furious Five is when he comes in.
Yeah, okay.
Fast five.
So they did two movies properly together.
They did two movies properly together.
This one they just fought, but there's also a famous, like,
much.
They're rumoured to have always wanted to have equal amount of hits and you kind of
tell when you watch it.
You have to look like they're equal.
Neither them are loose to each other.
Yeah.
Oh, equal amount of hits as in they punch each other the same amount of times.
Yeah, the same amount of times.
That's so weird.
And the final hit is always them like fist to fist.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But the people in the crew and the other actors kind of talk about, well, they seem to
if they side with anyone, they'd side with Vin, but they seem to say that everyone's
great and everything's perfect and everyone's good to work with.
So there's no clear asshole here.
It's not really clear.
So no one's backing up the rock saying.
Vin's sucks.
No.
No, no one's saying that.
Yeah, very confusing.
Yeah,
I wonder what the...
I think Tyrese Gibson may be all ludicrous.
One of the other main guys was like didn't like the rock as well.
It was on Vin's side.
It feels a bit like for everyone except the rock, it's the biggest cash cow in their life.
Yeah.
The rock's like...
I got Jumanji.
I make tens of millions.
You guys seen Moana?
Yeah.
Until today, I was thinking Hobbs versus Shaw.
Is Hobbs versus Shore is in this?
Oh, babe.
It's, I've still got it.
Because in my head, Hobbs versus Shore was Bin Diesel versus the Rock, but Shaw is.
Deccard.
Deccard.
Yeah.
So that's what they did with him.
They just spun him off.
Right.
He's like, I'll still be in this world, but just as long as Ben Diesel's not in it.
Yeah.
And they're like, all right.
Yeah.
basically.
Yeah, right.
So they decided that we're going to do any scenes together in The Fate of the Furious.
I will just tell you, in The Fay of the Furious, we see Cypha, who is played by Charlize Theron.
She has dreads, and she is white.
The Rock is very seriously coaching his daughter's soccer team, that's important.
They are doing more things with a big magnet, finds out a Dom turns against the family.
Oh, dumb.
Dom's obsessed with the family.
He's obsessed with the family.
What could make Dom turn on his family?
Magnet.
He's got metal in his brain.
It's not a magnet.
To protect the family.
It's to protect the family.
Is it a car?
So Saifa, Shalise they're on,
shows him a picture and makes him come to the dark side and work against his family.
So they're working for the cops again now against Saifa, who's a terrorist,
who turns out to be in charge of all of Braga and all these other people.
Oh, they did that in James Bond too.
I hated that.
I loved it.
And she's powerful.
She's Shalise.
She's got great, great hair.
Yeah, great appropriate hair.
Were she famous when she came into this?
Very famous, very famous.
To the point where she's not doing much.
She's mostly sitting and hacking and like, it could be shot during COVID.
She's never in it.
What are you in this movie come out?
This is like very recent.
Played at the few years.
She sort of like came on the map.
What did she?
When did she do?
Monster?
Is that around?
Before that?
before.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, there you go.
Yeah.
But we also meet Helen Mirren.
Oh.
She's,
she's,
she's,
she's, no,
this made her.
So this is
Deccard and Owens' mom.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
She's like doing
like a Michael Kane
impression kind of thing.
Like she's like,
up in the dampera.
Oh, I used to do it.
And she like drives a car
and she's very,
she's a crim.
She fit right in in this movie.
Yeah, she would.
She loves it.
She begged to be in it.
I love driving cars.
Of course you can be in it.
And yes,
that's why.
She said I love driving cars and movies and she does,
she's got a really cool like,
seen not in this one,
but later on.
Yeah,
she's fucking great in that.
She's fucking great in that.
Machine guns and it's real fun.
Yeah.
You're like,
yes.
She's really good.
Anyway,
the secret black males,
do you want to know what it was?
Yeah.
So apparently,
she,
Seifer is holding Elena.
Remember Elena?
Yeah.
Oh,
I remember Elena.
And Elena's baby.
So Dom had a son that he didn't know about.
Oh,
that makes it so much more awkward.
The family.
It does make it awkward for Ledy,
but Ledy's like,
nah,
Don't worry about it.
Elena gets killed by Seifer,
so you don't have to worry about that again.
She gets killed.
Yep,
she gets murdered because Dom's like,
Dom doesn't kill Lettie when he has the chance.
And so Seifers like,
you've annoyed me and she's like on a plane.
And she,
I should have just read the report,
but she kills Seifer.
I'm sorry,
she kills Elena to punish Dom and he's like,
the baby's next.
So she's using them to control him.
But then Deccard Shore.
She doesn't sound like a nice person at all.
Deccard Shaw's doing the family,
Toot, too.
Are you kidding me?
Yep.
He wants a pardon.
Now, he's on the family.
Helen Mirren's in the family.
And he's like...
That's the whole English families now.
Yes.
Now it's double families.
And he is there and he saves the baby.
So he becomes a good guy during this film.
They have to work together during this film.
I reckon they're genuinely thinking this,
they're now going, this new baby will be the face of this franchise in 22 years.
I bet you they're actually thinking that.
Big time.
There's going to be a resurgent.
And like our kids will talk about how it's a remake of an old movie
And we'll go, how dare you say?
Back before they made them holographic.
Yeah.
Because Paul Walker had two kids too, right?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, Brian.
Yeah.
Well, there is a, I think it's called Spy Races,
a Netflix series for kids called Fast Furious Spy Races,
which could actually be about them.
I haven't checked.
Oh my God.
Spy races.
Anyway, it ends with a barbecue and coronas.
No, no Corona's in this one.
This is a Budweiser one?
Yes, this is a Budweiser one.
She's still around.
348 cars have been destroyed.
Hell yeah.
Ramsey is also part of the family now, which is important to say.
And I think that's probably, yeah, that's it.
What happens to the kid?
See, I was trying to make this quick.
The kid's fine.
Deckard Shaw saves a kid on the plane,
kills everyone on the plane with the baby in like a baby.
You know those strap-on baby things?
With the baby carrier?
Yeah, he's got a baby carrier
and he's like poo-poo!
It's very cool.
Already so hot.
Strap a baby to him?
It's incredible.
Holy shit.
I reckon, is this how they got the idea
for the pacifier?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
With Jason's Statham.
I thought, actually, let's make it Vind Diesel.
Yeah.
It's strap a baby to him.
There's a bit where they go to Russia
and everything's frozen
and there's a submarine that they have to fight
and the rock punches a torpedo into a car.
Punches a what?
Punches a torpedo into a car.
What part of?
punches.
I don't understand why you're asking.
Into a car.
Into a car.
Yeah.
The torpedo is coming.
It's like not today.
No, my wife.
Is he?
Punch.
On the ice.
They're in a moving vehicle in the ice.
It's so good.
It's really good.
Love that.
Yeah.
It's very, very good.
So we've only got one to go.
Well, you've got Hobbs and Shore and F9.
Oh, so Hobbs and Shore isn't counted in the nine.
Nah.
Okay.
So there's nine films, but there's about 25 films.
Really?
Well, there's just a lot.
There's many.
Including the short film.
And that's...
Do they call that the fate of the furious F8?
F8, yes.
Yeah, fate of the furious.
Good stuff.
That's good stuff.
And that's a fucking beautiful.
Beautiful movie.
Beautiful.
Everyone loves it.
I'm just checking if I...
No, the rock punch is the thing.
That's important.
That's the most important.
Rock punch is a torpedo.
That's fucking good.
Hobbs and Shaw is directed by David Leach,
who also did Deadpool and written again by Chris Morgan.
Chris Morgan to you?
And Drew Pierce.
It's 2019.
It's actually about, so 2019 and it's about a super virus.
Oh, wow.
That is engineered in a lab.
And we meet a third shore, a girl shore called Hattie.
Hattie Shoal, laid by Vanessa Kirby.
Hello, I'm Hattie Shaw.
She's got a team of MI6 agents.
So she's like a cop.
She's like good, she's a good shore.
She's like, my stupid brothers, I'm on the right side of the law.
And my stupid mother.
And my stupid mother.
I was always in prison.
But then she, so the bad guy in this one is Brixton Law, who is Idris Elba,
who's like a superhuman, he's like sort of military, militarized kind of terminatory superhuman guy.
Cool.
There's a bit in it where he says, I'm black Superman, and it's fucking amazing.
He goes, look at me, I'm black Superman.
And then everyone in, there's like interviews where Duane the Rock Johnson's like, yeah,
that was my idea.
And I just, I was like, no, I just sort of set it on the set.
And then the producer's like, yeah, we just kind of went with it.
Like, we'll just, like, everyone takes credit for it.
But like, it's not in the script.
So it was probably his idea.
Yeah.
Because he came out of his mouth.
That's so funny that the rocks claimed it.
Yeah, he keeps taking credit for it.
Oh, I said it.
Anyway, it's fine.
So he's like, he can do superhuman feats.
And the virus is called the snowflake.
So.
Yeah.
Initially, they were thinking about calling it cuck.
Yeah, yeah, they were.
Yeah.
It was in a workshop.
Soy boy.
Soy boy.
Have you been cuck?
Have you been cuck?
So guys, got to get a seven days of ice so I've been cucked.
That's very funny.
So Hobbs and Shaw are recruited to track down this virus because the, okay, so Hattie's
working on the virus, trying to get the virus with their MI6 agents and then they, in,
Brixton, the bad man, Idriselba, injects her with the virus.
So they give her the virus and they're like, it's going to be active in like two days and you'll be
contagious and you'll die.
And it's like a very bad virus.
and it's more your deltas, you know, than your Omicrons.
And Matt, so Delta was, that's the house that in Legally Born, the Elwoods was in.
So she gets framed for stealing the virus.
It's a whole thing.
She gets framed and then they're coming after her and then they find her and they realize, you know, who she is.
And then they go to Samoa and they have a big hand-to-hand combat fight.
with people who have guns and big weapons and helicopters and stuff because they're like they're there
and they're Hobbs is going home to his family because they'll be safe there and then they're going to get
attacked and they're like where are all the guns we're all dad's guns they're like we got rid of
dad's guns and he's like so we all we have is these family heirlooms like traditional Samoan
weapons and so there's just all these Samoan guys with all these Samoan weapons and it looks
very frightening but also there are guns on the other side and they're like we fight at dawn and so
they're like at like it's midnight like it's very dark they start to
this battle and then all of a sudden it's day and then all of a sudden there's a storm and everyone
who's seen the film like there's so many forums online people being like what what is this time jumped
yeah um but anyway it's very fun great fights uh yeah uh yeah wow and now yeah hobbs and shore
like fun sort of buddies but they hate each other but they're fun sort of buddies in the end yeah
okay yeah that one sounds fun yeah well that one that dropped off a bit didn't it in in in like um
um box office and stuff i don't i don't i don't
I don't think, no.
No, it was still big.
It was still big.
Yeah, right.
But, yeah.
And then we arrived at F9, which is huge.
I think it wasn't as big as F7.
Yeah.
Because that one was.
But it's sort of like F7's more like the Avengers,
whereas Hopper Shores more like Ant Man and the Wasp.
Absolutely.
So put it in the terms that Jess would understand.
Yeah.
I'm going to say, thank you.
Yeah.
Okay.
F9.
Now, there are great fucking stunts in this,
so I'm going to go through this and you're going to listen.
Yeah.
You can't leave.
We've done that the whole time.
We've done that for two hours, 50 minutes.
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
Hey, listen, if you're at home, thanks.
It's still quicker than watching nine movies, though.
It is quicker.
Yeah, big time.
Okay, F9, directed again by Justin Lynn with a screenplay by Daniel Casey.
What?
And Lynn.
Yeah.
Yeah.
2021.
Daniel Casey.
Yeah, I know.
It's not fucking Good Morgan.
It's not.
Good Morgan.
Sorry.
Not Good Morgan.
I thought you recognised that name and I was like, wow.
Yeah. The Daniel Casey.
Two years after the confrontation with the Charlis Theron and her dreadlocks.
Yes.
Dom is retired.
He's just hanging out with his son, Brian.
Oh, yeah, he calls his son Brian.
Oh.
Which is announced at the end of that movie.
So his son, Brian and Lady.
Wait, but Elena had already had already had the base.
baby.
Yeah.
And had she been raising the baby for a while?
So she tells him she gave him a middle name, but she was waiting for Dom to give him
a first name.
But she made no attempt to find Dom.
It's weird.
That's okay.
It's weird.
Yep.
Anyway, so they call him Brian and Lettie's like, letty's like the adopted him.
This is the mum of the kid.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
And then suddenly cars come and they're like, oh, little Brian, remember what we said,
remember the game.
And so he like hides and they're all like they get the guns.
they get a big shotgun because they're out on a farm.
And then Roman and Tej get out of the car and Ramsey with their hands up.
And they're like, hey!
And it's a bit of a fun fake out.
And they're like, you should have called.
And they're like, oh, you wouldn't answer it.
And then they are like, hey, we got to go help Mr. Nobody.
Because once Mr. Nobody arrested Charlize Theron and her dreads,
the plane that they were transporting her on was attacked by rogue agents who took her,
who took Charlize Theron and her dreads.
And also on board there was half of a deadly device called Project Ares
that can magnetically affect all the world's electrical systems.
So it's a big magnet.
And I don't understand how that helps,
but that's not why we watch the movies, is it?
It's not for the plot.
No, no.
Dom agrees to help them.
Hello, we don't watch the movies to the pot because we got them all on this podcast.
Yeah.
Dom agrees to help them after seeing a photo of a necklace,
just like he is in the pictures from Mr. Nobody's Crash.
he's like one last job again.
So he sees a necklace like his.
Yeah, it's exactly the same as his
in the photos from Mr. Nobody's Crash site.
We don't know what it is yet.
It's just like a very basic crucifix.
And he's wearing his own?
He's got his and he's like, what's this?
But he knows what it is, but we don't know.
Okay.
So they go, Letty gives her little cross to little Brian
just in case something happens to her
and they're like, yep, let's go.
They're going to Monte Quinto.
So they leave the kids.
to look after himself for a bit.
No, let me tell you what.
Brian is babysitting.
So this becomes a thing after F7.
They're always like, Brian's at home with the kids.
Oh.
So he's gone to Uncle Brian.
But you never see him.
You never see him.
You see his car pull up.
Well, he like speaks over a fence or something.
See his.
And says lines that he can have a tuna sandwich.
His brother's got very similar forehead to him.
That's awesome.
And do people like that when he's mentioned?
It's like he's living on.
It was nice at first and then now it's like, stop.
It's become a joke.
Yeah.
It feels like if you keep doing it.
Just stop talking about him.
It's like a joke.
Like, ha ha, he's still here.
Yeah, don't worry about him.
They genuinely, they used to make fun of that on neighbours because Kyle and Mnog was so big and they'd have like someone, whoever, her mum or whatever would be on the phone going.
So I'm just talking to Charlene.
It's like, she's gone.
Yeah.
Let her go.
Let go Charlene.
They were going to.
Charlene, they still live it on the Gold Coast.
I just bought a four-park super pass.
Sorry, I was on the Rup to her this weekend.
Anyway, Charlene Love, I've got visitors.
I've got to go.
Got a guy, love.
In Monte Quinto, they are in a militarised zone.
They're not supposed to be there,
but they're looking for the plane crash
because they've got to find this device
or half of the device
and see if they can help Mr. Nobody.
May I just say that you three look like the most tired people
at the scene in my life?
Roman is driving a tank rather than like a Jeep.
So he's just like got a tank
Because he's scared I think
Is the joke
They find the plane
They get their device
And then gunfire rains down on them
And there's this incredible jungle chase
Where Roman's tank
Gets Wedged between two cliffs
And then it's above a landmine
After they've driven through all these landmines
And he still doesn't die
And then he gives us a bit of a speech later
On being like
We've done all this crazy shit
We never die
Like why do we never die
And they're like
I don't know.
And he's like, what's going on?
And you think, oh, we're setting it up for him to die, but he does not die.
They're setting it up for like a fourth wall break.
Yeah.
It is almost that because he's like, this is crazy, right?
We did this and this and this and this and we did all these coronas.
Anyway, there's a jungle chase and they see a guy who comes and steals the device and
letty turns to Dom and says, that was Jacob right?
And he goes, yeah, that was Jacob.
And we're like, who is Jacob?
Okay, thank God.
Okay.
And then there's a flashback.
1989, Jack Torretto, father of Dom and Mia and Jacob,
dies in a fiery crash.
There's like a, he's doing racing, like Formula One racing,
and he dies in a fiery crash.
It sounds like a horror movie trope.
Yeah.
Well, somebody, it is kind of like that.
Somebody tampered with the car.
He was wearing a hockey mask.
Yeah.
Somebody tampered with the car and then the guy who,
beat the dad was like an asshole about it and Dom goes to the first time Dom goes to jail it's
because he beats the shit of this guy for being an asshole about their dead dad and then while he's
in prison he's talking to some guys about like tampering with the car and like why the car exploded
and they're like oh yeah there's this common thing that happens when people try to throw the race
and then sometimes the car explodes and then he's like has a flashback and he's like oh
remember Jacob working on the car that day and he realizes his brother killed his dad and he
gets out of prison and he challenges Jacob to a race and he's like this is your last chance and it's like
you you're just going to keep driving like we're going to have a race and you're just going to
keep driving and if I ever see you again that's it um you're not my family anymore and so that's he
just keeps driving then we come back to the current time and um there's meant to be a bridge where
dom and letty are but instead of being a bridge there's just like a metal wire and so they sort of
Georgia the jungle across to
like a big crevice.
So there's like two cliff faces,
a terrifying death drop
and they, somehow the car
has hands and can hold on to like a metal.
They just drive really fast
and they grab this like metal thing
and they swing like on a vine.
They are parents.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Why are you doing this?
Yeah.
Did one of them have sex with a car
and then that car with hands
is the baby car?
Yeah.
I think so.
Holy shit.
It sounds like they're trying to edge in on the Rock's territory as well.
He does the jungle movies.
Yeah, he does.
It is very jungle.
Jamungi, jungle crews.
Like, is he famously a guy does a lot of jungle films?
Yeah, yeah.
It's pretty amazing.
Anyway, so they're just chasing down Jacob for this whole film.
And then Jacob's working with this guy who gets them arrested,
but then the guy who, the person who arrest them is in riot gear.
And then they take off their riot gear.
And it's Cardi B, Lisa, from who we never met before,
but was mentioned one time in the Domenal.
and Republic six movies ago.
Wow.
And she's like, yeah, there's my private army.
I've got my private army now.
It's a beautiful web that's weaved.
Yeah, yeah, it is beautiful.
And they're all hot.
They're all really hot girls.
Then they go to Edinburgh and they like drive through all the streets of Edinburgh.
They do love to get around the globe.
And it's great.
And they're having a fantastic time.
I am going as fast as I can.
If they ever do an Australian one, which eventually happens.
Greatish and Road.
Greatish and Road.
You should be able to get a wrong.
role in it, I think.
I would love to.
I've done enough work on this report to get, to have a line.
Is there any name that's been mentioned at one point?
I'd love to be in the writers room for it.
I'd love if they were taking like ghost riders or if they were doing notes or punch
ups, I'd be like, all right.
Get me in there.
Chris Morgan's a one horse race.
That's not what that means.
Maybe I am getting tired.
Anyway, it ends, it ends fine.
So do we see who plays Jacob?
Like, do we know who the, who the, who the, who the, who the,
Oh, yeah, so it's John Sina plays Jacob.
I was wondering where he came in because I've seen him on the posters and I was like,
so he plays the evil brother.
The evil brother.
The evil brother.
Who then, of course, is redeemed and enters the family again.
In F9?
Yeah, in F9 at the end of F9.
So F10, he'll be there.
Yeah, F10, he'll be there.
They're just collecting celebrities as they go.
Yeah, that's what they do.
That's their whole vibe.
Does that mean that there's just like each person's in the movie for about eight seconds
because they've got to show so many people per movie?
Kind of, but because there's like a million,
cars you can cut between all the cars and it's pretty good they all get their own car so but vin's still the
lead yeah it's yeah it's his it's his thing um and then also something that's very important is that um
tess and roman they need to disable a satellite so that project areas can't ruin anything and they punch
a satellite no oh listen to me listen to me right now jess perkins oh no they ramseses trying to hack it she
can't hack it and so as a plan b they cardy b in a as a cardy b
in a rocket car built by Sean and the guys from Tokyo Drift,
like Han's mates from Tokyo Drift.
They come back.
Home improvement.
They come back.
They're building a rocket car that's kind of makeshift.
They've never used it before.
They launch Roman and Tej into space.
And they drive their car.
Drive.
Toot.
Into space.
Into space.
They've got like shitty old space.
spacesuits that they're like duct-taping up and they drive their car into a satellite to break it.
And then they're rescued by astronauts on the International Space Station.
Oh my gosh.
Let me just say that that plot line is ludicrous.
Why are they always the ones put in charge of these issues?
Well, because TES is like the vehicle guy.
Oh, no, I understand their skill sets.
But there are like governments and actual people.
work on space.
Because they're just the best ones.
Yeah.
At what?
They're the best ones at being crime and fighting crime.
Someone at NASA would have been like, we need to put together a team and they would
have been like, I know exactly who it was.
It's always like an FBI agent being like, well, how are we going to find a team capable
of this?
And then it's like.
That's so fun.
Yeah.
Latin rock plays and we're hanging out on the beach drinking coronas and they're like, you want me to
what?
I can't handle it.
It's really good.
They go to space.
So where are they going to go in Fast 10?
Yeah, they get more ridiculous every time.
They went to fucking space.
Like, what are they going to do now?
Underwater.
It's got to be underwater.
Jason Momoa.
No.
He's been underwater before.
I reckon they're going to go inside a volcano.
Into the core of the earth.
Yeah.
Well, Dwayne Johnson's been there before.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Journey to the center of the earth.
So is the phrase.
Yeah, the phrase has been there.
Anyway, that's what, now you're all caught up and ready to watch Fast 10.
Do we have a release date for number 10?
No.
When it comes out, can you, like, let's all go.
Let's get a big group together and let's go.
Because I want to watch you watch it.
You have to understand that I'll be going at midnight.
Oh no, it's 2023.
Will we be wearing our costumes?
Yeah, I'm going as the space car.
I'm going to dress up as Nicholas Cage's Shelby,
which I think I realize now from a different film.
You've realised just now?
Yeah, I did think it was, I thought the whole one or when you were going to get to it.
But I think I didn't get to it, did I?
Yeah, no, I didn't get to it.
I'm sure there's like a really big other stunt that I missed,
but I think the Jumanji car and the space are probably the most important parts of F9.
I'm so sorry, everybody.
Thanks so much for letting us know about all of that.
This has been a different kind of do go on, which I've enjoyed.
Yeah, we've had a lot of fun here.
And I actually am very excited to watch all the movies now.
Yeah, I'm glad you're excited.
Because I thought about doing guide dogs.
And then I didn't do that.
I did just the fast and the furious movies.
So they're similar.
Yeah, that's right.
Guide dogs is in just how they work.
I'm a guide dogs ambassador.
By all accounts, I should have done guide dogs.
Surely you're also a Fast and the Furious ambassador at this point.
I am.
Yeah, I am.
You're spreading the good word.
I'm pumped.
2023 cannot come fast enough now for me.
I agree.
It's all furious enough.
No.
Yeah.
So what does that give me about a year-ish to watch them all?
I want you to watch them this week.
Okay.
I think that's fair.
That is reasonable, I think, yeah.
Nine movies.
I did watch the Harry Potter's in about a week.
Yeah.
So I could do The Fast and Furious.
That's normal.
Are they long movies?
Yeah.
Okay.
Of course, then, long movies.
Yeah, sorry, you should be a question.
There are so much that I did not tell you about these movies.
It's good to have things to look forward to as well.
A few surprises there.
Yeah.
And look, you've got to go.
And if anybody's still listening, tell them one more.
more time about where they can find information about your comedy festival show.
It's not this long, but you can find it at comedy festival.com.
Just look up Michelle Brazier on Instagram and I'll be shouting about it.
Or look up Michelle Brazier, tickets and then whatever city you're in and then press enter.
Yeah, and go from there.
Thank you so, so much for that wisdom.
Thank you.
That fury and that pace.
We appreciate it.
I loved it.
Thanks so much for coming on.
Love you.
Love you, bye.
Bye.
And now it is time for everyone's favorite section of the show where we thank some of our fantastic supporters.
You can support us if you want to do you listen up via patreon.com slash dugongpod or do go on pod.com.
And there's all sorts of different things you can get bonus episodes.
You can vote on topics.
You can get inside of the nicest corner of the internet, which is our Facebook group, all sorts of other things.
One of them is giving us a factor quote or a question.
and that happens in this section, which is called fact quota question,
which I think adds a jingle that goes something like this.
Fact quote or question.
Ding!
He always remembers the ding.
And the way this works is you give us a fact, a quote of question.
You send it through when you're on the Sydney-Shaunberg deluxe level of one of those websites I mentioned before.
Give us a fact, quote, a question.
I'll read it out.
I'm reading it out for the first time on the show.
You also get to give yourself a title.
First up, we've got Katie Clay.
whose title is Mother of the Sass Queen.
What is that?
I don't know what that means.
Does that mean your mum?
Are you the Sass queen?
Mum?
You're a sass twin.
Yeah.
Maybe the Sass Queen is our mum.
Our mom.
I was going to say because we would be a sass prince and a sass princess.
So maybe Katie is our grandma.
Oh my God.
The queen mother.
And Katie's given us a fact, which is David,
Uniipon was a Nagayan Jerryman, traditional Aboriginal Australian of the Lower Murray River.
Uniupon spent five years trying to create a perpetual motion machine in the course of his work.
He developed a number of devices.
Didn't we talk about David in a recent episode?
Because he's on the $100 note.
The $50 note.
I've never seen a 100.
I have no idea what color it is.
I don't know.
Katie continues.
Devices are varied as an anti-gravitational device,
a multi-radial wheel and a sheepsharing handpiece.
He was also known as the Australian Leonardo da Vinci, Da Vinci.
Da Vinci.
For his mechanical ideas,
which included pre-World War I drawings for a helicopter design
based on the principle of the boomerang
and his research into the,
the polarization of light and also spent much of his life attempting to achieve perpetual motion
and he's on our $50 note.
Wow.
There you go.
Oh man, I'm having wild deja vu here.
I hate that.
But you feel like we've cut.
I don't think I knew much about.
Okay, great.
I might, I possibly just read that because I'm like, I haven't read this out before.
Yeah, no, I don't think, yeah.
Okay, great.
Oh, that's awesome.
Thank you so much.
For that, Katie.
Yes.
So cool.
He just, yeah, I mean, that's why he's on the $50 note.
Yeah.
We don't just let anyone on the $50 note.
No, who's on the back of the 50, Dave?
Oh, Edith Cowan.
Tell us a bit about her.
First female MP elected to Parliament.
How do just, how do things stay in your brain?
It's amazing.
Well, because we have talked about her recently.
That doesn't matter.
Did we talk about the $50 note recently?
First Australian woman to serve as a member of parliament.
I think at the time, because last time I thought that she was the first Premier maybe,
and then we looked into it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But still, I don't, yeah, anyway.
It's a compliment, Dave.
I'm impressed.
The next one comes from Ben Johnson,
and Ben has given himself the title of Toaster from Towchester,
if I'm saying that right.
Or maybe it's Toaster from Toaster.
Could be.
T-O-W-C-S-T-E-R.
Anyway, Ben has got a quote.
Toaster from Toaster's fun,
but Toaster from Tochester's also.
I'm torn.
It's all good.
Ben has a quote, which is,
I was in Glasgow last week and I ordered a latte with oat milk.
The barista looked at me funny and said,
I'm sorry, pal, but I canny make a latte without milk.
Great quote.
That means a lot to me, I think.
And I think that'll mean a lot of the listeners out there.
Without milk.
I should have committed stronger to the Scottish accent.
I think you get to just the right amount, actually.
Okay, fantastic.
The next one comes from
Drew Foresburg, and Drew's got a brag.
And Drew first has given himself the title of
Munya Jaisk resident of Weepel Fieripteridge.
He just switched up a lot of first letters there.
I think it's Junior Vice President of Maple Syrup Storage,
but he's just...
Okay.
But he's written at Munya Jaisk.
resident of Waiple-Piripatorage.
That's good.
Drew, what are you like?
He's trying to catch you.
And Drew has a brag, which is, I dressed myself today and it only took until tomorrow.
I feel like I'm losing my mind.
What's going on?
We've just done a three-hour episode and now people are sending you confusing questions and quotes.
What does that mean?
What does it mean?
I just feel like I'm losing it.
What's happening?
Dave's Googling it.
It's got to be something.
Yeah, I'm sure I've heard that before.
But like the fact that it hasn't auto filled yet is concerning.
Nothing's coming up.
It's coming up.
All right.
Well, the last.
He's just saying it took a long time to dress herself.
But geez, it made my brain collapse.
seen on itself.
And the final
quote of question this week
comes from Julian Barnes
aka Little Listener with
The Little Facts.
Ah, that's why he's done some
little facts from the orange juice
Oh, love them.
But isn't it funny?
We're talking about Lil' lot today.
Yeah, that worked out beautifully.
The Lil listener.
Julian has got, of course, a fact.
Writing, once again,
it's time to grab a juice,
brackets, orange, closed brackets,
from the line and read a fact.
Today's is number 237.
Approximately one third of the population can't snap their fingers.
One third?
There's three of us.
Oh my God.
Let's go down the line, Jess.
Oh, I'm a great clicker.
Julian's asked, can everyone on the pod do it?
Keep up the good work stoked for the Dugan live quizzes this year.
Thanks, mate.
You're real, Julian.
I'm a really good friend, actually.
Oh, that's a nice click.
They're sharp, crisp.
It's not bad.
Well, let me just say...
It might be muddier.
Yes.
Other hand?
This is my good hand too.
Yeah.
The other hand's not very...
That's me.
You're a left clicker.
My left click is quite good.
It is.
It snaps.
Mine...
I've got this thumb issue that I've had for a while.
Oh, that's convenient, isn't it?
When we're talking about snapping your fingers?
Well, it felt like it was getting better until just now when I did that clicking and it's...
The pain of the...
just come back.
Oh my God, Julian, what have you done?
You dog me.
Do you work for my physio?
I haven't had Matt come in for a while.
We must break him.
All right, well that brings us to our other favorite part of the show
where we go through and thank a few of our other great supporters.
Bob, you normally come up with a little game based on the topic.
Earlier I was thinking of what their go-to car was, or mode of transport maybe.
That's great.
It doesn't have to be a car, I suppose.
And it doesn't have to be able to punch a torpedo or an asteroid.
But if it can, great.
Bonus.
All right, well, if I can kick us off.
Please.
I'd love to thank from Spring Branch in Texas in the United States.
Rafael Gatrel.
Great name.
What about?
Holy shit, that's a good name.
Right on mower.
Oh, yeah.
I love a functional double function.
You get to where you've got to go, but you can mow the grass along the way.
Exactly.
And if you punch it, put a bit of noss.
in there.
Yeah.
You probably travel at an average car speed.
I really think that would make mowing the lawn fun.
Yeah.
You know,
you're not on a ride on mower.
I often think friends are the grass you've mown along the way.
No, I don't know.
I don't know what that was.
No, no, no.
That was something.
And that something was excellent.
It was Mr. Nothing.
That was almost.
I mowed the grass today and it took until tomorrow.
Thank you very much, Raphael.
I'd also love to thank from Palanga in
LT. Is that Lithuania?
I looked at before because I couldn't believe this.
Lithuania, how cool is that?
And I'd love to thank Mint Paint Art.
Okay.
Mint paint art from Palanga.
Definitely one of our first, if not the first Lithuanian supporter.
Is Lithuania where the second dream team was from?
You better believe it.
Oh, that's so cool.
I'm thinking the Mr. Bean car.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Painted to look like a basketball.
Yes.
Yeah, and I think that is...
It's a go-to.
And then obviously its enemy is the dreaded three-wheel car.
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
Mintpaint Art.
So cool to have you listening from Lithuania.
I mean, and Raphael, that's not to say.
It's not cool to have you listening from Texas.
Don't get me wrong.
That still fucking blows my mind, to be honest.
And finally, from a place, I reckon maybe most of our listeners might be from.
the deep within the fortress of the moles address unknown it's Aisha 451
Asia 451
Asia
Asia I think drives a
I don't know if you guys remember or ever read Richard Scary
or Richard, I think it's Richard Scary books as a kid
Well Aisha 451 drives the apple car that the worm drives
Yes.
That's fun.
I love that Apple car.
I love, that were my favorite books as a kid.
There was one that went around the world.
Every page is a different country or something.
That's cool.
I loved it so much.
That's nice.
I love it when you let us in.
Tell us things.
And at that time, I was 28.
Started reading the book and it only took me until tomorrow.
Dave, do you want to make some people?
I would love to.
This person's also from an unknown location.
I can only assume deep within the fortress next to Isha 451.
And it's just one word, Twank.
Twank.
Twank.
Twank.
Twank.
Twink.
Twink.
Twink.
Tvank.
Thank you so.
I think in Tvank is rocking some rocket-powered roller skates.
Oh, yeah.
Flying.
Yeah.
Taking on Vin Diesel on two legs.
The fastest man on two legs.
That's cool.
Sfink.
Yeah.
Thank you so much.
And I would also like to think from Glasgow in
greatest of Prittans, Amy
Moretti.
Amy.
Amy Maretti.
What's a Scottish kind of?
The Iron brew van.
Iron brew van.
Iron brew van.
Iron brew delivery van.
Yes.
Sorry, that's so dull.
Unlimited iron brew.
It runs on iron brew.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When you push the NOS button,
you actually get iron brew pumping through the system.
That's right.
And into your hat, which is an iron brew hat,
So the car and you get an equal amount of sips.
Would it be a bit more eco-friendly?
Oh, yeah.
Running a car or iron, bro?
I don't know.
The vapours are much better for the environment.
Actually, reduces CO2.
Somehow.
It's an amazing orange liquid.
Thanks, Amy.
I'd also like to thank from a pop car in Florida.
It is Adam Nidacore.
Nidalcore.
Nidercore.
Florida man.
That's a good name.
Adam, love your name.
driving a, like, killed and skinned an alligator and converted it into a car.
Stuffed it, put wheels on it.
Wow.
Now rides around like a skateboard.
How do you steer it?
You're lame.
Like a normal skateboard.
Lean into it.
Okay.
Well, that's kind of fucked.
I don't know why you did that.
He's a Florida man.
Oh, yeah, I forgot.
Florida man.
Well, that's incredible.
May I thank some people as well?
Please do.
I would love to thank from Minneapolis.
Now the Twin Cities.
Minnesota.
Zoe.
Big shout out to Zoe.
What's Zoe driving?
Zoe is driving a milk delivery bike.
Oh, bike.
I think all of the characters we're creating here in the Fast and the Furious franchise are going to be dead real quick.
they're all rocking up at these straight drags going uh-oh
I love it
these people support us and we are
condemning them to death
no delivery buy how many leaders could you possibly carry it once on a boat
fair few you just got to you just
it's all about physics
it's actually a cow that they've stuffed
and pull wheels off
Matt, you got something killing animals and stuffing them.
Chucking wheels on.
That's the most efficient way to make automobiles.
No factory line required.
Just a carcass and some wheels.
Carcass.
Carcass.
That's where they get the name Carf from.
From carcass.
Let's go back to how they used to do it.
Thank you to Zoe.
I'd also like to thank from an unknown location,
but I think their name might give it away a little bit.
I would love to thank Sean of South Horn.
Oh, I like that.
What about her?
A sheep?
Can you give him a car that would actually go fast?
Oh, okay.
Okay, I was thinking...
Start with sheep.
Dave, you're going to make it go fast now.
It is a caravan pulled by a sheep.
Yes.
But of like the fastest sheep on land.
Oh my God.
It's like massive this sheep.
I'm going to Google sheep top speed.
When you fit at NASS.
No.
Up to 25 miles per hour.
That's pretty fast.
That's very fast.
That's really quick.
Yeah, what's that in K's?
I know 100 miles is...
Speed animals.
100 miles is 160K, so it would be 40Ks an hour, right?
That's fast.
That's fast.
That's fast than you saying Bolt, baby.
Top speed, it can just cruise through schools.
Is that like down a hill?
Then I'm on live science or live science.
We never know.
Some ram each other at speeds up to 20 miles or 32 kilometers.
meters per hour according to National Geographic.
Wow, there you go.
That's fast.
That's not your run-of-the-mill
bloody farm sheep is?
No, I think that's like a...
That's a like a purebred.
That's a mega sheep.
That's a race-ram.
And if you get 50 then pulled together,
your caravan will be flying down the track.
Vin Diesel would be like, oh no, put the nose in.
Not too late.
Can't keep up.
Sorry, mate.
Sean of the South Horn.
You just got goaded.
Thank you, Sean.
And finally, I would love to thank from Austria.
Wow, this is cool.
Yeah, I don't know if we've had many people from Austria supporting us.
Great, but whereabouts in Austria, Jess?
Yeah, what's the city?
St. Witt and Goulson.
You've done very well there.
Probably not, but thank you.
I think there's an normal out over the O there.
You're really going to hit that O.
Goulson?
I think it's, does it any long go?
I don't know.
And the state, Jess?
That is Lower Austria.
Wow, amazing.
You pronounce that well.
I would love to thank Daniel Graham.
Daniel Graham.
Wow.
I've only spent a few days in Austria, but I love it.
Probably at an Irish pub.
Beautiful.
What sort of NFL game did you watch from there?
No, I went at the hostel we stayed in.
They played the sound of music every day at the same time
because it was filmed in that city.
Yeah, of course.
No, I think I went out for pasta for dinner,
which, you know, it was in the vague area of Italy.
I got a little bit of local.
Culture and cuisine
Oh my God
That made me laugh so hard
I got a
I got dizzy
I went out for pasta
What yeah
I got to
I'm just
Don't be able to
Because I wasn't in an Irish pub
Thank you very much
I went out for a good bowl of spaghetti
I'd do it differently
If I went back
I'm all
I don't know that you would
So thank you so much
to those people who
Have supported us
Daniel Sean Zoe
Adam Amy
Tvenk
Asia 451
Mint Paint
Art and Raphael.
We appreciate you.
And the last thing we need to do is welcome a few people into the Triptitch Club.
If you're new to the show, you might not know.
But supporters who have been with us for three straight years on the shout-out level
or above get brought into the Triptage Club.
It's a lifelong pass.
Once you're in, you're in for life, even if you want to leave.
