Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Original. What do you want? Give me a name! Give me a name! You here to take me in, O'Connor? Y'all know. She's my friend, too. I'm going with you. I ain't coming back.
Starting point is 00:00:51 This is where my jurisdiction ends. And this is where mine begins. Let's just stop someone from telling them you're a cop. The same thing that's keeping me from telling them why you're really here. A lot has changed. You're right. Dom? Dom! Thank you. Wow! Welcome to another episode of Newcomers.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Lauren Lapkus is out for the season because she's got an eight pound thing that came into her life that she has to take care of. And you can guess what that is. It's smarter than a cat, but dumber than a dog. Right now. It's going to end up being smarter than everything. This is the fourth season of the fourth, no, the fourth episode of the fourth season. We're watching the Fast and the
Starting point is 00:02:42 Furious franchise. And well, baby, it's going to be ten episodes. We're going to cover nine movies and Hobbs and Shaw. And we're talking about the fourth film in the franchise. Fast and Furious. And if you Google it, it's hard to find any
Starting point is 00:02:58 information on the movie because it brings you to the franchise because they named these movies in the wildest way. It only gets more fun, too. This one people call Ampersand because they remove the articles and it's just Fast Ampersand Furious. Griffin Newman told me that some people refer to this as Ampersand because it's hard to say Fast and Furious.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Which one? Well, Fast and Furious. The Fast and Furious. Not the Fast and the Furious the one with Braga the most memorable bad guy of a film ever Phoenix
Starting point is 00:03:33 is any of this ringing a bell? so Ampersand is available on DVD it's free on Peacock and you can watch it for a fee on Amazon Apple TV
Starting point is 00:03:43 Google Play and Vudu guess what we're gonna fucking spoil it because we're talking about the movie so Gabrus it's free on peacock and you can watch it for a fee on amazon apple tv google play and voodoo guess what we're gonna fucking spoil it because we're talking about the movie um so gabrus you saw this in theaters i of course i've seen all i've seen all nine and hobs and shaw in the theaters this one was one that i was let down by but the ending and not just the final moment but the whole ending sequence was so fun for me uh at the time that i dug i dug in and enjoyed the rest of this see you said you were like this is one of the the worst ones yeah i liked this one this one returned to the gritty uh kind of
Starting point is 00:04:19 indie vibe of the first well what you liked about it is that it got that fucking toretto and well the last movie didn't have toretto or brian in it it's definitely they're definitely a major factor in what we like about these movies yes i like that people were back um gotta say they fucking kill michelle rodriguez but i know she's in later movies okay so're going to unpack a lot of this because she's one of the several resurrections that happens in this series. Let's introduce our guests. Yes, let's do that. We have some friends of the HeadGum family here. You recognize him as a dumbass, and you recognize both of them from the Review Review podcast.
Starting point is 00:05:01 We got Jeffrey James and Riley Anspaugh. We're recording at 10 a.m. Pacific on a sunday which is why we're on the episode no one real could would say yes well you heard us this is the worst episode of the series uh the movies uh so oh my god you guys this film took 12 years off of my life it really it, it really did. I, when it was like, I'm like, okay, I got 30 minutes left. And then I looked again.
Starting point is 00:05:29 I'm like, how do I still have 20 fucking minutes left? But your right gave us the last like 10, 15. That was worth it. But everything else beforehand, I mean, my God,
Starting point is 00:05:42 I guess I'm, I guess I'm the minority here. No, I guess guess I'm I'm the minority I guess you are I'm a minority I'm a minority I guess I'm a minority is a very funny title of a memoir I guess I'm a minority by Nicole Byer
Starting point is 00:05:57 but I liked it I genuinely loved it I thought it was so fucking fun I want to talk about this because I always remember this one as the worst one, but after watching them in order again, the flavor shift from Tokyo
Starting point is 00:06:14 Drift to this is delightful. I miss Han because I love Han. Well, we get a little bit of Han. You get a touch of Han and that's all you need. I fucking loved when Han was like, eh, make it to Tokyo. And I was like, wait, may I go to Tokyo? And I was like, wait, what?
Starting point is 00:06:30 And spoiler alert, but five ends with, where do you want to go next? How about Tokyo? And he goes, not just yet. Like, wait, let's do one more movie before I die. And do they ever go back? What? They do go back and he does die again.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Not just yet. But then he's also resurrected from that. We will get to it. He's the other resurrection. There's a few. Gabriel, my mind is blown. There can't be more than one resurrection. Because I thought I knew these movies and there's so much I don't know. Dude, I'm not exaggerating.
Starting point is 00:07:02 This is the movie of the series I've seen the least, and it is still four or five times. And I am confused by the fucking movies. I conflate them all in my head, because it's like, which is the one with the cars and the sort of steel drum Caribbean music? And it's like, that's all nine, bro. Is there a scene in all of these?
Starting point is 00:07:22 But I feel like it's the most prominent in two. Sorry. No, I'm sorry. I feel like every movie, most prominent in two. Sorry. No, I'm sorry. I feel like every movie, this is the only one I've ever seen in this franchise. But there's gotta be. Same here. We got newcomers, finally.
Starting point is 00:07:33 True newcomers. Old comers and newcomers uniting. Does every movie have a scene on the beach where there's like tons of bonfires happening and people convenient to just kind of stare at cars? And a lot of corona. Yeah. We talk about that a lot on newcomers
Starting point is 00:07:50 because it's the PG-13 sexiness of this movie. Yes, totally. This one was the sexiest so far. It was the most triple kissing of women for sure. There's way too many lesbian kisses. There was so much triple kissing. And you had a lot of butt shots. And then you had Letty and fucking Dom
Starting point is 00:08:12 in all white on a cliff where she's like fucking dry humping him. I was like, you better get it. Wearing a shirt from Diesel Jeans. His dad's company. Days before this, so I live in an area that was close
Starting point is 00:08:30 to like an F9 poster. And like a week ago, my boyfriend was like, do you think you'll ever watch a Fast and Furious movie? I'm like, in my life, I don't think so. I can't see myself doing that.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Three days later, I get a text from Jeff being like, want to be on Newcomers? We got to watch Fast and Furious. Let's fucking go. Life comes at you fast, Riley. Come true.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Come at you fast. So why have you guys never seen a Fast and the Furious movie? Like you just didn't feel compelled? Because they're on their phones, these fucking Gen Zers. They're always on their phones. These kids nowadays. Because I got Snapchat on the brain. No, I...
Starting point is 00:09:07 I'm sending nudes to my BFF. I'm streaking on our streak. We've gone 106 days. I don't know. I think it's just like I was never... I listened to the first episode of the season. I know, Nicole, you were saying like you are into cars. So that was a draw for you.
Starting point is 00:09:25 I am not into cars. I am not like there wasn't anything. I also think I was too young when the first one came out to be like, oh, this is a new thing that's coming out for me. And then since then, it just it was something that none of it caught my interest in any way. Not even a big, thick, sweet potato-headed... Well, I did see the pacifier. See, I got my Vin Diesel fix in the pacifier. I'm like, he's great.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Wait, how old are you that you saw the pacifier but not Fast and Furious? I'm 25. That's there. Alright, that's... I just hit the cusp of being able to see the best environment talking to a 25 year old makes me realize that the pandemic was like eight percent of your life
Starting point is 00:10:13 that's brutal i'm so sorry at least you have more shit on the other end i'm coming down the home stretch i've only got a few more pandemics. Gabriel and I are going to die as soon as the pandemic's over. I'm not even going to get to hit my 401k, which I don't have either. I was just going to say, you have a 401k? I don't. I don't. Jeff, what about you? Do you have a 401k, Jeff?
Starting point is 00:10:37 I know Fast and Furious from the arcade game at the Solon Cinemas arcade in Solon, Ohio. What? What's that? Where is Solon, Ohio? It's where Kid Cudi grew up in Cleveland. Oh. And is it also where you grew up? It's adjacent to where I grew up in Sheridan Falls.
Starting point is 00:11:00 Okay. I went there because Kid Cudi grew up there. That's what it sounded like. I went there because they had the Tokyo Drift stand-up driving machine. Oh, heck yeah. I would play that. That sounds like fun. Be careful, Nicole.
Starting point is 00:11:15 I picture you being like, the Tokyo Drift machine arrived at my house today. Anything we bring up, you're like Googling how to buy it immediately. Yeah, I did buy the what is it Sabian Sabian the Sibian oh my god
Starting point is 00:11:29 congratulations it's not good no that's what I was gonna say I really didn't like I don't like it it's so hard would you say
Starting point is 00:11:35 you have buyer's remorse boo Ferris kick him off boo thanks so much for having me take the reins I guess I do have buyer's remorse well I appreciate Kick him off. Thanks so much for having me. Take the reins. I guess I do have buyer's remorse.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Well, I appreciate you re-gifting it to me. I'm going to get a lot of use out of it. Well, I was like, can I donate it to somebody? Like a woman in need? Leave it on someone's porch? Like, you need this, honey. Bring it to the new HeadGum studio and put it next to the NBA jam machine. And we should say Gabrus is in his childhood bedroom in Long Island.
Starting point is 00:12:09 I am. I am. It's changed hands like 11 times because I'm the oldest. So my brother lived here and then it was a guest room. Now it's, I guess it's back to a guest room since I'm technically a guest. There's a sun fade on the wall-to-wall carpeting of where an elliptical used to be. Yeah. There's a dried patch of jizz just offside the bed from when that brief period of time
Starting point is 00:12:28 before Gabrus discovered paper towels or socks. My God. I also love that there's two fans to cool off my big boy. And my mom's central air. And my mom's heavyset, too. So the house is like 44 degrees. It rules. Oh, what a dream it's like
Starting point is 00:12:45 walking around a meat locker i got out of the pool got in the house and i started freezing like t1000 i was like the water you started freezing like the opening scene where she like sprays whatever that is and then freezes off the oil truck spray it i don't have my hammer. Spray it anyway. There has to be a better way to do it than freezing it off. Before we get into the movie, we got to do the Toretto Gazetto. Of course. Everyone's favorite part. So F9 star Helen Mirren and Vin Diesel agree Michael Caine would make a great addition to the family. No way. and Vin Diesel agree Michael Caine would make a great addition to the family. While discussing the mysterious backstory of her character,
Starting point is 00:13:29 Magdalene Queenie Shaw, Oscar winner Helen Mirren, is it Mirren? Yep. Backed Diesel's proposal to bring Caine into the cast. She even suggested he could play her ex-husband. Mirren said, I don't know if I'm allowed to say, she's English, but apparently, is she? Is she English? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:47 No nuts. And you're doing an actually perfect impression of her. Vin had the idea of Michael Caine. I mean, wouldn't that be fantastic? That'd be so cool and absolutely perfect. So we'll see. So her character, Queenie, is an all-powerful criminal introduced in Fate of the Furious. She's the mother of
Starting point is 00:14:03 Dominic Toretetto's former enemies owen and deckard played by evans and uh jason statham respectively shaw of shaw she's mrs shaw yes she is yes shaw's mother which i don't think i tracked man you know, I truly, I just like accepted things as I watched these movies. Being like, yes, sure. That's a thing. Uh-huh. I remember that. Shoot.
Starting point is 00:14:31 The interpersonal relationships in this movie are just, they never, they make less and less sense as the movie went on. Oh, yeah. And they keep building. This is a quicksand foundation that they build all of the friendship dynamics on. Also, can we just pop back to the Torettoetto for a second yeah how is that news they're they're making the biggest franchise in the world like it would be cool if this famous actor joined everyone's like you guys are crazy it's like michael cain is gonna be in fast 10 now like there's never like why would he turn it down michael cain does bullshit movies all the time but he's also so old he might be getting picky and he's like in my late stage of life I'll only do what I want to do
Starting point is 00:15:13 yeah some people just want to watch the world burn Mr. Pareto okay we have to take a break If you're wondering what a NordVPN is, I'll tell you.

Link is in the episode description. And we're back. So Fast and the Furious was written by Chris Morgan, directed by Justin Lin. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Who has a hold on the franchise. He has directed so many. He is also lined up to direct 10 and 11. He directed nine. He directed three, four, and five. Wait, nine wasn't the last one? I thought with all the posters around, with all the family, the big hoopla,
Starting point is 00:16:59 I thought it was like, and this is the end of the franchise. No, this franchise will never end. They're making one more two-part movie yes but also also making a lady spin-off yes that i really want to be in you gotta oh my god you gotta you need to be right like i could be the tyrese Gibson, you know, comic relief part. Or let me be ludicrous. It would be fun to have a female car expert. Like a female mechanic head.
Starting point is 00:17:31 And you would be great at that. Wouldn't that be amazing? Watching you just yell at fucking Paul Walker's brother in a mocap suit. No, I'm just kidding. That's offensive. I also believe after watching Fast 9 and we'll talk about this in the 9th or 10th episode of this podcast but I believe they're trying to set up Young Toretto
Starting point is 00:17:53 as well Who do you think would play Young Toretto? The guy who's in Fast 9 playing Young Toretto He's an absolute fucking stud Oh my god Gabers's an absolute fucking stud. Yeah, he's a better actor than Vin Diesel.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Oh my God. Gabers, I'm so horny for this information. You're going to like, you're going to really like this ethnically ambiguous buff badass that young Toretto is.
Starting point is 00:18:16 And I've been trying to do like my due diligence and not spoil anything for myself. So like, I'm not going to look him up. Oh boy, but I'm very excited oh boy so this
Starting point is 00:18:26 movie was released april 3rd 2009 and let's like okay so the beginning of this it's is wild immediately into what should be the climax of the movie okay let's talk jeff let's talk about. You just said what makes the Fast and the Furious franchise work for me so well. Is that they don't give you like half fucking bullshit and then fucking get you the biggest one at the end. Although the end of this movie does fucking slap. Yeah, it's fucking sick. They open hot. It's bookended.
Starting point is 00:19:02 That's such a fun way to start a movie. And almost all of them start with some elaborate car race plan like that. So this to me really felt like a second beat of the first movie. It felt like they were erasing two and three and four is the actual sequel, which I guess it is because Tokyo happens at some point after like, yeah, this happens down. This movie takes place before Tokyo drift, which is the third movie. Yeah. And then,
Starting point is 00:19:32 but also it takes place after two. Okay. But, and before, and right before five and then, but also five and six take place before three. Wow. Why do they call it Fast and Furious?
Starting point is 00:19:49 That's what I was thinking about for half of it. I just ripped my AirPods out laughing at that. That's genius. They're calling it Ampersand on the fucking subreddit. Yeah, I would just go four Fast, four Furious. The thing fucking was. Four Fast, four Furious. Six Fast, six Furious.
Starting point is 00:20:04 It works. I would have just kept doing that. The opening fucking works. Four Furious. Six Fast, Six Furious. It works. I would have just kept doing that. The opening was cool. For never having seen any of them, I was hooked by the opening. Like, that was an awesome sequence. It was super fun. It was like,
Starting point is 00:20:16 like, I caught myself being like, oh, shit, like a bunch of times. It was fucking dope. They make Vin Diesel, they make Dominic Toretto like a Marvel superhero, like, with his physical capabilities.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Yeah. Totally. But what I like about this movie is they spread the wealth. They let like, let it get on the fucking gas car. Like they let like the women and the minor characters do like so much fun shit in this movie. Like everyone is equally capable. As a matter of fact,
Starting point is 00:20:41 that's another hallmark of these movies. I hate to keep calling out patterns. Everyone has superhuman strength every no every movie everyone has gained like seven levels inexplicably where it's like ludicrous isn't in this movie but in the next one he's like the master hacker and roman is like a cat burglar and han is like a weapons expert and giselle bunchin is in the uh she got not giselle bunchunchen is in the... Gal Gadot. Gal Gadot was in this. Gal Gadot's in this. Oh, that was Gal Gadot.
Starting point is 00:21:10 I was like, she looks slightly familiar to me, but I don't know and I won't look it up. I gotta record the podcast in five minutes. I don't have time to look it up. Ludacris took a certificate CS program at UCLA Extension and then returned to the crew. Yeah, he came back knowing way more about C++.
Starting point is 00:21:29 So, okay, they're hijacking fuel tankers. Again, this trucker pretty like, I gotta get to where I'm going. They're stealing loose oil. Unlike the truckers in the first one, he bails. He's like, I'm not going down with my truck. With his iguana. I'm jumping out. Also, is gas
Starting point is 00:21:47 that hot of a company? Go to the fucking 76. They say in this, they're like, it's gold here, baby. What? Why? Also, how the fuck are you supposed to sell that on the black market? That's so traceable. You just bring it in jugs
Starting point is 00:22:04 and it needs gas. They know a shit ton of car guys. they could probably pawn the gas off on someone but this was like a western right this was like a train robbery yeah and it was very fun horses it's all cowboy shit and it's just and it's a real fun way to open the movie and then they fucking just kill michelle rodriguez off camera. So quickly. Like, so quickly. So they're, like, making out on that fucking cliff. I fucking love it. And then she's in bed sleeping in a way I've never slept.
Starting point is 00:22:35 And Dom's, like, staring at her, like, all moody. And I'm like, if they don't fuck, I'm going to be so mad. And then I had to get mad. I want to see penetration. Yes, I want to see penetration. Show Trish, please. But then he leaves her and goes to Panama City to like work on cars. And it's very clear he doesn't know the language.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Oh, again, just a recurring pattern is him speaking like half-assed Spanish to like Spanish native speakers and seeming like el jefe. He's always likefe mi amigo and they're like yes Dom you know a word but honestly I can't talk enough about when Han says I guess let's see what's going down in Tokyo I can't remember what exactly he said he says to Dom I hear they're doing some crazy
Starting point is 00:23:24 shit in Tokyo I hear they're doing some crazy shit in Tokyo. Yes. That's what it was. It crushed me. I laughed so hard. It made me, I was just like, this is so funny.
Starting point is 00:23:33 It really feels like they edited out the line where it's like, yeah, they're drifting. Oh, yeah, Dom. I think that is what they're doing. On the beach,
Starting point is 00:23:42 the beach scene where they're just kind of all like, oh, we're partying around cars midriff over there and then like butt cheeks clean yeah cars on the beach and then it's a nice cars in the
Starting point is 00:23:53 sand their crew is there they're all having a good time and then Han just like looks over at Vin Diesel he's like and then he's like all right and then everybody knows to disperse so they can have a private conversation like what is this like level of nonverbal communication?
Starting point is 00:24:08 It's perfect. Oh, wait. Also, in the first chase, they're driving American cars. And I was like, in the first movie, they drove foreign cars. Yeah. And I was like, are they making a switch to American cars? Because Vin's, his dad's car is like a, I think it's like a Chevy something. Yeah. Or a Dodge something. Yeah. cars because vin's his dad's car is like a i think it's like a chevy something yeah or dodge
Starting point is 00:24:25 something yeah and uh i think dom loves the old american muscle yeah brian loves the fast imports the little like jet yeah which is funny because in the first one he drove a mazda r rs rx7 yeah but he had his dad's he had his dad's muscle car on ice. On ice! I'll drive this import for now, and then I'm gonna drive daddy's fucking American muscle. For a guy who likes American muscle cars, he smashes
Starting point is 00:24:57 three a movie for nine movies. Truly! I love him. I owe a million dollars to my dealership in revenge also that one character he's just like muscle beats import every time just to keep you
Starting point is 00:25:13 just so you know the two types of cars they're talking about muscle or imports so Mia calls Dom at a payphone how do you get the number to a payphone how do you know Dom's gonna be how do you know that at that moment she'll be like can I talk to Dom and they're like and then that little kid's like of course I know where Dom is also who's answering pay phones
Starting point is 00:25:38 yeah rings nearby oh I should probably check if this is for me. It doesn't make any sense. So we find out Letty has been murdered. And I'm like, Lord, my fucking jaw dropped. Because I was like, she's in later movies. So he goes to her funeral and watches from like 10 miles away. And then goes to the crash site and finds nitromethane. He's like fucking Sherlock Holmes smelling the methane and then recreating the crash in his head. And I was like, what?
Starting point is 00:26:11 Like watching her, like watching him, even though he wasn't there. But he's like, I know exactly how it happened. It was a That's So Raven flashback. Truly. It was. Yes, it was very that. Wait, can we go back to the first chase I'm so
Starting point is 00:26:25 sorry at one point so this fucking truck is going off the cliff and then Letty and Dom are in the car and there's a truck barreling towards them and Letty's like Dom no Dom no and he's like no
Starting point is 00:26:41 and then figures out like with the velocity of this thing coming at them, to, like, wait to gun it. And then it tumbles over them. And I was like, no! Dom. It was so wild. Dom!
Starting point is 00:26:55 I like, they establish that Dom can get his car to pop a wheelie. So that becomes, like, an integral plot point at the end of the movie, which I kind of like. It's like Chekhov's muscle car wheelie. Establish it in the first act and it definitely gets fired by the last. Yeah, they do sprinkle treats throughout the movie that pay off in the end. They're very good at that. Also, when he's having his little detective psychic episode. Sherlock.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Like replaying it all in his head. When he goes to see, is it Mia, his sister? Yeah. He's like, there were burn marks on the ground that could only be a result of natural meth, which is like a shortening for methane gas,
Starting point is 00:27:39 which I did not know. And I was like, I turned to my friend, I was like, drugs? And then why does he go into an auto body shop that I guess this guy sells meth. He goes to talk to Walter White. Yes, you were watching, you were expecting a very different film.
Starting point is 00:27:52 I mean, that could be in the movie. Like there could be a meth dealer who owns an auto body shop. I appreciate this sequence where they show, where they do the recreation where he goes full mind palace like Sherlock. I like it because I was mad that they didn't give Letty her like outro. Like she's dead and you're like what on phone? It was so fast. And then it's kind of cool the way they do it.
Starting point is 00:28:15 And this is one of the first times you see it, but it starts getting sprinkled in the movies more and more until Fast 9 features a full on like abstract art sequence. But it's like, truly, there's a minute-long tone poem in the middle of Fast 9, and I can't wait till we get there. But this is the first one where it's like, this is sort of like meta-physical and satisfying.
Starting point is 00:28:37 And it's like, what is this movie? Isn't it for car meatheads? And it's like, now it's a guy visualizing his lover's car hitting him, and he's like, now it's a guy visualizing his lover's car hitting him. And he's like, I left her. I couldn't stop visualizing the script. I think Chris Morgan deserves to go to jail. This is also skimming forward because we touched on the funeral where he watched from like 10 miles away.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Him and Paul Walker both on opposite ends equidistant from the funeral like kind of looking at each other like they can't see each other but somehow again it's like they have a feeling that yeah like a football field away the other is standing there but it's like and mia's just in the middle like what the fuck like neither of them are here oh that was so good you say Chris Morgan needs to go to jail I say Chris Morgan pulls off a fucking circus trick in getting Brian O'Connor and Dominic Toretto's characters to somehow be friends by the end of this movie despite their history including the part which the part, which I have not completely, I never remembered until I saw it this time, that he blames her.
Starting point is 00:29:48 He blames Brian for Letty's death. It's like, why are they best friends by the end of this movie? Yeah, it is wild. It's like, so he infiltrated his group to try to bring them down, ended up kind of bringing them down and then like,
Starting point is 00:30:03 let him go free. And then he blames her for letting yeah like they shouldn't be friends like shouldn't be friends at all yeah but he's got to do he's got to muscle them into a relationship because it's got it's going to be the foundation of the next because they gotta be two family three films yeah so uh we find out that the this grant this uh 1972 ford grand torino sport is owned by this man named David Park. David Park is the one using the nitromethane gas. So Brian is trying to track down him
Starting point is 00:30:32 and this drug lord, Arturo Braga. Braga, the man himself. He like, so oh, then Toretto tries to kill David, but then Brian saves him and makes him an informant. And then David and Brian get into a street race to help the investigation, which is, like, confusing to me. But then I was like, oh. It's the second one we've seen.
Starting point is 00:30:55 It's an audition street race. We saw it in Too Fast. Too Fast, Too Furious. Because I thought they were like, whoever wins gets to drive for Braga. And so then Dom won, but then Brian also got the map. And so then they were both driving for Braga. And I'm like, wait, but Dom won.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Well, it's because Dom won. Dom cheated and he won. But then Brian arrested the very effeminate man who was sucking on toes. So he could take his spot. That's why that scene was in there. Yeah, that's why they arrest was in there yeah that's why they arrest that guy and he's like
Starting point is 00:31:27 oh so he took his spot yeah that's how he got to get in there that makes a lot more sense because the whole time I've just been thinking
Starting point is 00:31:34 like what a weird loophole that and now we both drive through that no one talked about and if it was the logic that Dom cheated people died
Starting point is 00:31:42 yeah they fucking died so ornithically murdering people in this race that's the role I would have wanted to play is like the crazy guy
Starting point is 00:31:52 who is you know hosting all these women at his apartment he's like I didn't do anything speaks in the third person yeah and he's like
Starting point is 00:31:59 but all he was doing was sucking on toes it was it was a choice yeah it was a choice. Yeah, I mean, that's the level of sexy this movie can be, is a triple kissing and toes. Can't show any boobs.
Starting point is 00:32:11 It's so choogly. But I just thought it was so funny that they picked the most effeminate-seeming man to be the ladies' man. I know. Yeah, why are they at his place? It was such a fun choice for me. Oh, also, I have to address, a lot of people have tweeted at me
Starting point is 00:32:28 that the bad guy in Too Fast, Too Furious could be white because there are white Venezuelans. There are Argentinians because a lot of Nazis left Germany and hid in Argentina and Brazil and stuff. And then had some babies and shit. So, you know, sorry about it. With the Nazi diaspora. We're sorry,
Starting point is 00:32:52 but if that's what people really had to lean into and let us know. Yeah, they're like, I'm a Nazi! Trust me, a lot of us white people ended up in Argentina. Sorry, sorry, sorry. My family had to escape Germany for not the sad reasons. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:33:10 So, okay. My family had to escape Germany and you go, were they Jewish? And they go, no. You go, oh. Oh, no. Right. No, we didn't have to escape Germany until after the war. It's like, oh.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Got it. Got it. Got it. I understand. Sorry, could you pull your mask up please interviewing to be a diversity inclusion consultant at deloitte okay so then dom confronts phoenix and learns that he's responsible for letty's death a standoff ensues and dom has somehow i guess I missed the part where he made it so this car could blow up. Okay, yeah, I caught this.
Starting point is 00:33:50 He pops the NOS, the hose off the NOS, so the car starts filling with NOS. And then he pushes in the car lighter, which will eventually pop out hot. Don't know if that's enough to cause a full-blown explosion. Domino effect. The domino effect. Dominico Toretto. The Dominico Toretto effect. Well, it fucking blows up like six fucking cars.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Well, first we establish the tunnels, too, which is a very fun part of the movie. Does that exist? The tunnel driving? Yeah, I'm sure, dude. The tunnel driving is wild. Holy shit. Because I'm like, how do they know where they're going? Later on in the movie when Brian O'Connor's guessing where the false wall is,
Starting point is 00:34:35 it's like, why wouldn't you just slow down a little bit at that moment? He's like, this might hurt. And I was like, just slow down. Don't slam into this. It all looks exactly the same. He dives into another car and just kills a guy. But when Dom gets shot and then the bullet wound in his shoulder changes him. He like is a changed man.
Starting point is 00:34:59 He's like superhuman. He like turns around and is like, I'm going to fucking kill this man. And he's like, doof, doof, doof. He's like fucking hitting him. And then he's like i'm gonna fucking kill this man and he's like doof doof doof he's like fucking hitting him and then get in the car get in the fucking car stop hitting him get in the car it's like this is wild it makes no sense why dom doesn't just kill that guy right there it would be probably better for them in the long run if that dude just dies there yeah but i do like they do a good job of somehow establishing in this there's 25 guys with guns two good guys and a bunch of fbi agents
Starting point is 00:35:32 about to enter one good guy can use brian o'connor good guys and you know gray guys brian o'connor grabs a machine gun and somehow vin diesel's squared away with just five guys that don't have weapons so you know what I mean it's like wait oh yeah there's 25 armed guys we're the five without weapons hanging out closest to you Dom and it's like all right he gets to do his like uh his fighting style is like street brawler meets like it's like a video game fighting style where he does like suplexes onto cars and shit and it's like just the moment you get to see like oh now you're all in big trouble they like established dom like he's a dad and he's just beating these five kids i mean it's like when you see him there there's a moment earlier which like felt like superhuman
Starting point is 00:36:19 strength to me and it was really early on when he goes to the really back drag you but like when he goes to that shop to like talk to the guy like you're dealing the the whatever the nitrometh or whatever. And then he's like, I don't know, man, get your hands off me. Don't touch me again. And then he pulls him onto a car. He almost lets the engine drop on his head. And at the last second, just stops it with his hand and grabs the chain. I loved it.
Starting point is 00:36:44 I loved it. I loved it. And I loved when he was like, just don't let this engine drop on my face. I was like, what's this? If he let go at that point, it'd be fine. Like that plus then the bullet. Like, I'm just like, this man is, he can do anything. He can do anything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:09 do anything this he can do anything yeah i was it was like when when the bullet hit his back it at first i wasn't sure it was a bullet because of how little damage it did how little it affected him i thought someone like threw a rock and it like turned like and then i'm like oh no he was shot and he's just like yeah what the fuck was that it was like the bullet gave him strength it was just like strength juice that was shot into him and i fucking loved it yeah that happens with this movie a bit with these movies is that dom has like emotional powers like if you upset him he's extra strong if you hurt him if you hurt his family like if you upset him, he's extra strong. If you hurt him, if you hurt his family, like he can't handle. And it's like, well, that would give Dom superpowers. It's always like the mom who lifts the car off the baby is Dominic's full vibe.
Starting point is 00:37:57 And he took that personally. The Dom who lifts the car off the baby. the dom who lifts the car off the baby so they get into a hummer with 60 million dollars worth of heroin in it and I feel like this is the first movie where it's like the stakes of the bad guys is high
Starting point is 00:38:17 like heroin's like a heavy fucking thing the first movie we're stealing DVD players second movie we don't really know what the bad guys are doing the third movie there's just a mafia and we have no idea what they're doing just vague mafia yeah but now we've named it it is drugs uh so they drive it to the impound and then brian's like you owe me a 10 second car and then which is a callback to other movies
Starting point is 00:38:47 to the first movie because Dom's like you owe me a 10 second car so Dom knocks in the window of a car in a way that I was like I don't know if you can really do that which is a callback to the second movie when Tyrese does it and I guarantee
Starting point is 00:39:02 Vindy's a watch too fast too furious. Saw that Tyrese got to smash a window and was like, when I come back and I'm the producer, I'm smashing a window without the shirt on my hand. Yes, I'm serious. And I'm doing bad because Dom is tougher than fucking Roman.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Oh my god. It really feels like that feels like, you know, when kids play make believe, but they always want to one up each other. It's like, well, what you don't know is like, I, I actually don't need the glove on my hand. Cause I don't bleed when I hit glass. And what you don't know is that I can bullets.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Give me, I'm actually, I'm actually bulletproof. I'm at my guys. The heightening of each movie is like, well, what you don't know is I actually have a force field around my body. Yeah, it truly feels like that. It really does. It fully fucking does. I love that.
Starting point is 00:39:57 And the car meetups is just show and tell. So it's Subaru Impreza that he gets, a WRX hatch hatchback so they drive back to Dom's house where they reunite with Mia and then Dom finds out that Brian is indeed the last person to be in contact with Letty so then they get into a huge fucking fight and then we find out that Letty was working undercover
Starting point is 00:40:19 as an informant in exchange for clearing Dominic's record because she wanted Dom to come home from Panama. He also yells it at him. She wanted me to come home. I'm sorry, Dom. I'm sorry. It's so nuts.
Starting point is 00:40:39 So many grown men take full-on fucking ham fists to the face in this movie and are in the next scene. Not a scratch. Just absolutely fine. Whether it's Phoenix, Brian. If I was a sound designer, I would want to work on these movies because it's like, all right, these punches really got to sound intense. He's angry. But it's not not gonna actually hurt anybody yeah he doesn't
Starting point is 00:41:06 he doesn't bleed but then later in the movie when he shoves the other like annoying FBI guy into the wall it's the most blood in the movie oh yeah
Starting point is 00:41:13 when he he gets so bloody Shea Whigham gets his ass it's like smashing a fucking honeydew melon wait what is his name Shea Whigham
Starting point is 00:41:23 the actor's name is Shea Whigham I forget what his character's name is, but I like that dude a lot. He's a good actor. You hear his nose shatter. Stajic is his name in the movie. Stajic? The way he shoves his face into concrete might
Starting point is 00:41:36 kill a person. Yes! I thought he was dead. I'm like, well, that man, he's passed away. But I also love, after it happened, nobody really reacted other than they were like, clean yourself up. And I was like, no, you're not going to say you're okay. You're bleeding on my floor.
Starting point is 00:41:52 You okay? It felt really like my dad and me and my two brothers where he would come in and be like, what are you all crying about in here? And it's like, he punched me in the face, I punched him. He's like, just everyone knock it off and walks out. Like no real punishment of like, just everyone stop being an asshole it feels like the fbi guy's like all right kids just everyone go to your rooms yeah what while we're jumping
Starting point is 00:42:14 around talking about characters can i just pop in on campos who ends up also being braga that guy john ortiz who ends up this is one of his early roles. He's in a shit ton of movies. But he's fucking good. He's good. Yeah, I like him. He sells you as the sycophant right-hand man for the whole movie. And then when it's revealed that he's Braga, you're like, he changes his demeanor and becomes the boss. He does.
Starting point is 00:42:38 It fucking works. No, he was great. Yeah. He's also fucking hot. Mm-hmm. He does it for me. I will will say what they do is they fill this movies to the brim with just like the sexiest hottest men and i fucking thank them for it thank you justin and very few white men these movies i know i'm the white i'm the white guy talking about this
Starting point is 00:43:06 all the time but they fucking cast the fuck like the phoenix uh laz alonso who plays like i thought he was hotter than the main guy right the guy who kills letty that guy's an absolutely gorgeous man yeah yes laz alizano he's very sexy, he can like fucking, ooh, I want him to just hurt me, you know? Just like push me off the bed. I want Letty to break my arm in a fucking jujitsu arm bar so bad. Yeah, I would watch
Starting point is 00:43:35 everybody cast in this movie like just have an orgy. Now I'm just looking at pictures of this man. He is oof. Now I'm just jerking off. Patty. I'm using Nicole's uh discarded sibian talking about everyone in this movie so hot and then plus like the coloring that they do to this movie it kind of makes everyone is like a little bit dirty and a little bit sweaty it's like they've all been working on cars in every scene so what's the fact they're already all baseline hot and then it looks like you've just met up with them outside of a garage yeah
Starting point is 00:44:09 they're like sun kissed yes a little dewy with some sweat a little bit of grime i know i know laz alonzo from he's on the boys oh yeah he's mother's's great on The Boys. The Boys is a great movie. Not movie. A fucking TV show. Hell, yeah. You watch The Boys? Yeah, I read the comic The Boys. Nobody watches The Boys, and I've been dying to talk about it with somebody. Buyer, I'll text you.
Starting point is 00:44:34 No way this is Newcomer Season 5. Yeah, let's do it. It depends if Lapkus has another big hobby that takes nine months to solve. Big hobby. Big hobby. I've got a big hobby in my tummy. What's season five? Twilight?
Starting point is 00:44:48 Harry Potter? No, it's the boys. You know, Lazo Lazo. I mean, I fucking love the boys. I love the boys. Juicy, hot people. Everyone's sexy in that show, and it's like they exploit them on purpose.
Starting point is 00:45:01 They really do. And then, like, the wildest shit happens that I never see coming, and I really... to this so okay braga uh uh brian tells his superiors he's gonna lure braga into a trap in exchange for dominic's pardon i don't know why this recaps is dominic he is dom dom toretto so okay at the drop site brian plans to expose braga but then it's revealed that it's a decoy and the real braga escaped to mexico and then brian is removed from active duty which is is that something that's going to happen in every movie like he's he's going to be an fbi agent and then they're going to be like sorry man you keep fucking up i got news for you if we want the
Starting point is 00:45:43 spoiler eventually they all are just working for like some sort of CIA organization. They're eventually all working for the American government in some capacity, you know, shadow organization. It rules. Honestly, they should tell improv students to watch these movies. They heighten. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:59 They just heighten. So so like incrementally. So like it works. It ends up becoming like an ensemble Bond. They're like ensemble James Bond movies because they get so heightened and it's like stop nuclear fallout from happening to Earth.
Starting point is 00:46:15 It's like let's send these eight street racers. My God. I found out right before we recorded that the first one is them stealing DVD players. That's unbelievably funny. And the way that they can incrementally heighten to that and justify it is
Starting point is 00:46:32 phenomenal. Trying to figure out who's stealing the VCR players is a big case in the first movie. Oh my god. Oh wait. I meant to make this joke earlier. How 2007 is this movie That GPS
Starting point is 00:46:47 Is so like Cool It's obviously so new And when Brian's like shut up Rerouting Make a U-turn You gotta be fucking kidding me It's like the first GPS
Starting point is 00:47:01 It's so obviously like there's this new tech that people use when they drive it's like yeah they show the map so much exactly oh my god after after dom wins they were like when the gps calls you answer and i was like that's not how they work it's not a phone and gal is the one like giving out the GPSs. And there was a moment later that I'm just remembering and thinking of wanting to see some Vin Diesel action, wanting to see Dom fucking fuck someone. And Gal's on the car, and she keeps asking every scene, she's like, why aren't you into me?
Starting point is 00:47:38 What kind of woman do you like? I love it. And when he said he's like, 80% devil, 20% angel. And he's like someone who's not afraid to get car grease under her fingernails. And she goes, that doesn't sound like me. And he's like, it ain't. It ain't. And what?
Starting point is 00:47:59 I know. It's perfect. He loves Leti so much. He loves Leti. Yeah. He does. It is. Oh, my God. it's perfect he loves Letty so much he loves Letty yeah he does it is oh my god but honestly
Starting point is 00:48:07 I wish more men were honest like that like I wish when I hit on dudes they were like 80% 20% you know
Starting point is 00:48:16 whatever and I like a girl who's not fucking fat and I'm like okay I got it thank you so much
Starting point is 00:48:23 I understand goodbye if I said that on a first date she would get a call from her roommate who's in trouble I'm fucking fat. And I'm like, okay, I got it. Thank you so much. I understand. Goodbye. If I said that on a first date, she would get a call from her roommate who's in trouble. She would take a 45-minute dump and you'd be like, she's been in the bathroom for a really long time.
Starting point is 00:48:35 She would take her purse to the bathroom. Let's just say that. I also love that Gal was honest, too. She's like, that is not me. Yes, more people need to be. Honestly, the Fast and the Furious franchise can teach so much. They should show that clip in like sixth or seventh grade and be like, you know, if the person's not who you want them to be,
Starting point is 00:48:56 it's okay to tell them. And then you have to understand that you're not the person they want. And then it would just make everything so much easier. They've shown this in a sex ed class. They just show the girls triple kissing in the background. Yeah. And this is hot. What?
Starting point is 00:49:11 Thank you, Tina. They have to establish how much Dom loves Letty. And this is a little bit of a spoiler. So that in six, when she comes back with amnesia and is working for the bad guys. He has to try hard to win her back. No! She comes back and has amnesia and is working for the bad guys. Gabrus, the best part is
Starting point is 00:49:34 you tell me these things and then I go, okay. But then when I see them in action, I scream. When I saw Han, I screamed. And then when he said the tokyo thing i screamed i knew it was happening you told me and i couldn't handle it there's something fun about dropping these little connections to people who don't fully know about them because it yeah when you
Starting point is 00:49:56 really start articulating the movie like if fast nine started with previously on the fast and the furious franchise you would be like, this is insane. If they tried to catch you up to how they got to nine, like with voiceover. And then of course they started working for Mr. Nobody, a shadow organization. And Deckard Shaw joins their crew after he kills Han. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:50:22 I don't fucking think so. Oh my God. I have never been more excited to like get through movies. I had so much fun watching all of them. I hated Tokyo Drift but the last five seconds of it I was like
Starting point is 00:50:35 it made up for the whole movie. This one I loved. Can you please tell Riley and Jeff why the last five seconds of Tokyo Drift Okay so Vin Diesel and fucking Paul Walker are not in the movie. Instead, this weird man with a weird southern accent has to move to Tokyo. You better believe Lil Bow Wow is fucking in it. They have to learn how to drift.
Starting point is 00:50:57 There's this weird woman from Australia, and it's literally insane. It makes no sense. At the end, the main character who has a southern accent is doing like a race and then we see fucking dom torretto in the car next to him and then he's like i knew han back in the day what does he say fuck he's like i i did some jobs with han. Yes. And then that's it. But you're like, yes, that's $800,000 for that. I want to make. And also not only that,
Starting point is 00:51:30 but a promise to be in four in the lead in four. And then I think he becomes a producer in five. Yeah. Also, there are parts of the movie where Dom is talking and it is not indiscernible English. I mean, it's just,
Starting point is 00:51:43 I mean, I had wine reads or I had to turn the subtitles on for this film. Five minutes in, I'm like, I cannot understand a word anyone's saying and I had to turn the captions on because he doesn't move his mouth when he talks. I think it's called Grumblecore.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Nice! Absolute insanity. It was really wild. I'm like I like I would I would turn I was turning the volume I was blasting the volume
Starting point is 00:52:09 on the TV every sound effect was so loud and then as soon as it would cut to him he'd be like I'm like well fuck me I'm like blowing my ears out
Starting point is 00:52:17 with the sound of the engine that's the beauty because because Don Toretto understands peaks and valleys of what you're watching yeah you know the action's the height that you bring down.
Starting point is 00:52:27 And you ground it a little bit. It's the numbers. And you know, you feel. Anyway, we gotta get through this. You feel. Okay. So they're traveling down to Mexico. And Giselle gives them directions to track down Braga.
Starting point is 00:52:42 And then they're going through these tunnels, which is fully fucking insane. And then what happens? Oh, so then like there's a crash. This racing through the tunnels was truly insane. It was really fun. It's easier to shoot and keep it scary, I feel like, because the POV works so much better. You don't have to see a lot of wide shots. So you can kind of like use editing to your advantage way more and
Starting point is 00:53:10 i had a lot of fun in the tunnel the geography of like what when you're making these big action sequences is very hard to be like who's where and why yeah they do it it's an okay job and once you're in the tunnel you kind of lose track of who's where but it's enough flashy cuts but for me the movie this is why i love blockbuster films specifically the fast and furious franchise the shot leading up where they show the chase going into the fucking tunnel it's like mad max it's a yeah it really was cool helicopter shot of like 16 cars chasing two cars yeah just like in the desert and in the desert exactly yeah it looks so cool there's nothing else in the frame but two dozen cars blowing through a huge desert and just i love just put that money on the fucking screen yeah how much money did this movie i i'm who gives a fuck pour it on the screen with like tons of cars just flipping i love seeing
Starting point is 00:54:07 like lifted trucks and jeeps too because so much of the uh movies are like the low fast cars yeah but every once in a while they need like special missions like in the first one here they get those tow trucks that flip open but here you get to see some of the bad guys the drug runners have like those super springy pickup trucks and i love And the tow trucks come back in Hobbs and Shaw when they go to Samoa or Samoa. Samoa. One of the people on 90 Day Fiance says Samoa, so I say Samoa. But it's not correct. It's not correct at all.
Starting point is 00:54:39 Farrah says 360. The budget on this movie was $85 million and they used every fucking penny of it. It made 360 million, which is fucking nuts. It made more than 70 million in its opening weekend, which is like wild. Also, I got to say the,
Starting point is 00:54:57 the cops coming, that was also pretty dope looking. And then, Oh yeah. This fucking last scene with Dom on the bus my first of all i was like this judge excuse me we had a deal you know he brings down yeah before we get to the judge one cool thing i want to talk about how you're you're the stud dies he dies in a very cool way oh yeah oh yeah he's about to shoot brian and all of a sudden vin diesel's got like another muscle car. He's got his like fifth part
Starting point is 00:55:26 of the movie. This part makes me scream. He comes flying out of the mountain and he's just bearing down on Phoenix. Phoenix turns to him opens fire. He does the pop a wheelie so that the bullets are hitting the bottom of the car rather than the windshield and then you're like he's just driving right at
Starting point is 00:55:41 him and you're like why won't Phoenix get out of the way? Phoenix goes get out of the way and Phoenix goes to get out of the way. And Brian grabs his ankle and holds him in place to get hit by a car. That is so fucking cool. That is like the ultimate wrestling tag team move. Yeah, it really is. But then Dom kills him. And then it's like you see Phoenix slumped over the car.
Starting point is 00:56:04 And then the part that really just I was undone is it cuts back to dom and he just goes pussy yes so bad i lost my damn mind i was screeching i rewind i'm like i gotta see that again i mean these movies they're so fucking fun like and i do love that they started at a fucking 11 because we ended at like a hundred. It was so much fucking fun. Yeah. Real quick, we have to take a break. And we're back.
Starting point is 00:56:52 So this film was not well received critically. It is a 28% on Rotten Tomatoes, which I think is incorrect. Fuck Rotten Tomatoes. Rotten Tomatoes is broken. Uh-huh. So a critic from Time Out wrote, turn off your mind. Turn off your mind, though. And there is some fun to be have from some of the better whiz-bang sequences.
Starting point is 00:57:11 What? I don't fucking know what that means. I think it's a perfect movie. I thought it was a real throw to the original movie. Yes. And I kind of think that was the plan. It felt so good. Nicole, it's funny you say that
Starting point is 00:57:23 because I feel like when you zoom out and look at the entire franchise, that was sort of the plan. It felt so good. Nicole, it's funny you say that, because I feel like when you zoom out and look at the entire franchise, that was sort of the plan, and I would imagine they were like, all right, we got Vin and Paul Walker in this movie. Let's lock it in and do, like, it's a heightened version of the first movie, and that'll re-ground us
Starting point is 00:57:40 in what the premise of these movies are. And I think it works. And then in five, they shift the entire premise of the movie, kind of like the attitude that it comes from, but they've earned it. You'll see. It's just a really,
Starting point is 00:57:52 and that's why it's my favorite movie. They do such a good shift. Before we talk about any other trivia, do we just want to talk about how cool the ending of this movie is? So sick. It's a bookend. It's like such a great...
Starting point is 00:58:04 It's perfect. he's on the prison bus he sent us to 25 years without parole with no option for early parole yeah he's in his orange fucking jumpsuit he looks fucking good it plays with the olive colors in his skin tone he looks like incredible it's a big bud press coverall outfit. What a deep cut that very few people will get. But Big Bud Press, organic stuff made in Los Angeles. Anywhere east of the 101, you know what I'm talking
Starting point is 00:58:34 about. Or the way I know Big Bud Press is that a lot of the kinds of models that I like to look at wear Big Bud Press. Large size clothes. My kind of ladies wear those kind of big clothes. I'm here for it. My kind of ladies
