This video is brought to you by acorns and liquid IV. More on them in just a bit. Boom, boom, boom, don't stop. Get on the train. Come on now.

Starting point is 00:01:40 Can't stop, won't stop. We are putting out things. We're excited. I hope you're excited. I hope you're ready to get fast because we're going to get into it. Tara. Are you ready? I'm ready.

Starting point is 00:01:49 Let go. Okay. Interesting. Wow. Okay. This is the most ridiculous movie. I think we've watched. This is the epitome of a fun, bad movie.

Starting point is 00:02:09 I'm happy. I had a really good time watching this. And it's funny because we watch a lot of these movies. We've seen the whole dang franchise nearly at this point. And though the rest of them are ridiculous, I think they start getting ridiculous from five onward. but this one feels like almost like a parody of the other ones that we've seen in like the best way because we went to space we're driving through minds we're talking about how we don't get hurt even though they did kind of get hurt in the previous ones

Starting point is 00:02:41 we're weirdly not talking about the rock at all even though he definitely should have been in this plot because we're dealing with spies we're dealing with like hell we kind of did like a tech thing in the last one and it only makes sense for him to be involved in this one. But because of behind the scenes drama, we're divorced, you know, we're not mentioned the Fast family in the Hobbs and Shaw movie.

Starting point is 00:03:03 We're not mentioned Hobbs in the Fast movie. We're separated. We're amicably separated right now. But, yeah, I think this movie is crazy. It's convoluted. It's definitely feel like it's setting up another one, even though I feel like the other ones. It's going to be totally separate.

Starting point is 00:03:22 Yeah. The other one's going to be totally. Like, maybe. The next one. The next one? Because why is Shaw there? Except the one connecting part would be, would be Han.

Starting point is 00:03:31 And Seifer, because Seifer, like, walked away. So I'm sure she's going to come back. That's true. That's true. She seems like the overarching villain for like eight, nine.

Starting point is 00:03:40 She's like the side villain. Yeah. And plus it is called FX or whatever. So I was just thinking like, oh, it's going to be another Hobbs and Shaw. But at the end. Like, but it's not. It's going to be a combined world.

Starting point is 00:03:52 Because Hobbs and Shaw was like almost full. It's, I know it's in the same world, but it felt like a totally separate movie. It felt like a soft reboot. When we cut to Shaw, it feels like, oh, are we going to have another type of a reboot in 10? You know what I mean? Like, is it just going to be now Shaw with like Hawn thrown in there and none of the fast people that we just were with? Okay. I've kind of got the vibe that he's, we're going to bring him back into the fold.

Starting point is 00:04:21 Yeah. I don't, I mean, I hope so. I don't think they've filmed another. Hobbs and Shaw movie I don't I don't think so no no no but yeah we have fast 10 and I know I don't know if you know who's in fast 10 I don't that's why I was like I know one actor who's in fast 10 but I have no idea I don't watch any trailers for fast 10 but I'm curious to see how that one actor is going to be incorporated into the plot but um yeah to talk about this movie some more this movie is it's a funny experience because you're they have these things that

Starting point is 00:04:53 you think are going to be themes, but they end up not going anywhere. And we're revealing information that was not remotely hinted at in the last one. I feel like we're trying to like pick up the pieces and try to like salvage what we can with how we can. I don't know. It feels like a more over the top, ridiculous version of what 8 was trying to do because we don't want to acknowledge the fact that Vin Diesel and the Rock aren't communicating. We can't really bring Brian back.

Starting point is 00:05:20 So we have to find a way to have plot, even though those characters, based off of everything we've seen, feel like they would be essential to a plot like the ones we're having. But again, at this point in time, we don't have those options. We're going to work with what we have. That being said, what we do have is still a lot of fun. Like, I, listen, I have no regrets about watching this movie. I had a fantastic time. Yeah. Great time.

Starting point is 00:05:46 Yeah, it's the epitome of dumb, ridiculous. fun and anyone if you're like going to this movie for for realism for for for gravitas you are in the wrong franchise baby we're we're here for cars we're here for explosions we're for actions we're here for ridiculousness we went to space we wholly went to space i didn't think because i vaguely remember the the zeit guys around the time like what if they went to space or like what do they do something ridiculous they're going to continue to up the ante and they did it. They actually did. I don't know where the hell you go after space. Maybe we're doing multiverse next. I don't know. Maybe we're time traveling. Who freaking knows this fast nine.

Starting point is 00:06:31 This is family. This is the epitome of what family is about. Going to space, fighting bad guys, saving the world, drinking coronas, wearing Tims. That's what I'm talking about. If I can't have that, I don't want it. I don't want anything else. Get it out. This is what I need. yeah it's like the other films were grounded more in reality right we we looked at it more with a real i mean not totally but a little bit more of a realistic lens where it's like even the stunts and stuff that happened you're like that's kind of like way out of that's a little out of reach but not as out of reach what the heck is going on here um a lot of that happened here and you know what i was thinking i was thinking like did they hire john sina out of spite because

Starting point is 00:07:14 he's another rassler maybe do you know what i mean because i guarantee i was like wait The Rock and John Sina are they friends or did they used to have a thing like, you know, where they do the fake fight and like WW, I don't know. They did have real life beef? Did they have real life beef? Yeah, they did. The Rock and John Sina? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:07:32 Oh my God. That's my day. I heard him out of spite, yo. I guarantee you this is some mad ass drama and I just made that up in my head just going like, I know he's a rassler. And so is the rock. And they're like, okay, well, who else can we get to be like, well, we're friends with him? Oh, my goodness.

Starting point is 00:07:49 that's so much drama, I love it, because his brother did not need to be another wrestler, right? That's a very specific, like, hiring that they did to make F9, but also, you know what I will give this film credit for is that the writing wasn't that, but the plot, ridiculous way out there, but the writing, like in the dialogue, there's some lines in there that are pretty good. It's not bad, right? I didn't hate the lines and the words that were coming out of their mouths. It was really just the plot where it's like, are you for real, bro? Like, she's going to get off of a motorcycle and land on a car and she still looks fine.

Starting point is 00:08:32 And then the rest of the movie was like that as well, right? More and more stuff happened. And they're still fine. And they were very meta about it, which I appreciate it. Because if they didn't have that, I'd be like, is this for real? What's going on here? So I do give them credit for being self-aware. And also for the writing, not being.

Starting point is 00:08:48 bad um they they lost they had callbacks in there which is great they lost some good opportunities like but i believe they'll probably bring the dad's quote back in f10 i mean i feel like what the dad said to him about being right what he said to dom in the car are you saying the dad's not actually dead no i'm saying the line that he told the son that he told dom right before he died being the bigger man That is normally set up where we would have that comeback. That would have been a very good callback to have. That's an important moment that the person who dies, this whole franchise, is about family and what family does and what they say and what we remember from family and we say grace, right? So I feel like they're, they got to pull that line in somewhere.

Starting point is 00:09:39 Dad is definitely dead. But his lesson, why did we never hear Dom teach the lesson to his kids? kind of what his dad taught him. I don't know, but I feel like it has got to come back in F10. Otherwise, what were we doing? But all in all, it's a blasterooney. When you're 15, 20 minutes in, you're like, oh, yeah, okay, this is what this is. You just ride the wave.

Starting point is 00:10:04 You're not here for it being, like, realistic or for it all to make sense and all the plot points to connect or, like, connect to older films. It's like dead people are going to show up, not dead. and that's just how we roll. That's how we roll. I feel like the plot was a little more convoluted. I think the dialogue wasn't bad because I feel like the dialogue already in the fast franchise is already cheesy. So maybe we've kind of attuned ourselves to the cheesy dialogue, which I like.

Starting point is 00:10:30 I'm all about it. You know, I like cheese. I like dairy. So I'm here for it. But the whole thing of like, okay, our Nick Fury essentially, like our government guy, the villain from the last one went to go get the government guy. but then our new villains intercepted them and then we betrayed the brother to team up with the old villain

Starting point is 00:10:48 and now the old villain and the new villain are together and then we have to go get the guys from Tokyo Adrift to help us get to space and it was a lot of moving pieces also Hans back because we got him out in time we're not going to explain how we did it we just did it because we're super spies and he's going to help us with this plot

Starting point is 00:11:06 because he's a hologram because he has the little girl whose parents got killed who's actually the device who's actually the key to the device it's going to end the world. Like, it's crazy. It's insane.

Starting point is 00:11:18 It's F9. But I'm not mad at it. Here's what I can say. Here's a positive I can say about the movie. The acting is still good. The pacing is still strong. Because what? Two hours in 2015, a little over 15 minutes?

Starting point is 00:11:32 I was never bored. I was never bored watching it. I was just in awe of the ridiculousness. It's a good old time. It was a great old time. Where did I even rank this? I don't even know. Because, like, I can't rink on quality.

Starting point is 00:11:44 I can rink it on enjoyment. Yeah. So I feel like I need to go back and look at the house. I'd really have to think about that. I really have to think about that. I don't, we, I don't know if this is blasphemous. I don't know, like, the reputation of the fast franchise. But I think I put Hobbs and Shaw above this movie as far as it's like,

Starting point is 00:12:01 yeah, I would. Entertainment. But this was still fun. Like, I. We're here for the, we are here for writing to and like plot and heart to. Yeah. You know, we have to put in all. All of those aspects.

Starting point is 00:12:14 But this is like a blastrooney. Yeah. It just didn't have all of those other really good aspects that we look at when we're talking about filmmaking and like cinema. Reject Nation, how are you feeling? I've been thinking a lot about feelings lately. Maybe because it's New Year's and New Year's resolutions, they can be tough to stick to, don't you know?

Starting point is 00:12:33 I can't count how many times I've set a goal only to let it fizzle out by February. But what if some of those goals could be made automatic? You just need a good transition to talk about it. And you know what? I'm excited to talk about it. And it's today's sponsor, Acorns. Why I'm excited because I personally use Acorns myself, so it's exciting just to share it with all of you. Because they make it incredibly easy to start automatically saving and investing. So your money has a chance to grow.

Starting point is 00:12:57 You know, you've always heard that forever. Have your money worked for you. And this is a great opportunity to do it. Here's what was told to me before I signed up, and I found it to be absolutely true. Number one, you don't need to be an expert. They recommend a diverse portfolio that fits your goals. You don't need a ton of money. You can start investing with as little as far.

Starting point is 00:13:12 five dollars or whatever spare change you got and it's quick you can set up your account and start investing in like five minutes because if you're anything like me investing always felt intimidating felt like it was exclusive for like the people who had rich dad pour down when they were like two years old but acorns they made it simple and it is pretty cool like relief feeling how every month i get to check out my acorns account watch it grow for a better financial future it's pretty awesome so i've seen firsthand how powerful it can be and there's also another reject here won't say who it is but it's one of the one of the two women good clue where they were telling me a story before i signed up for acorns how one time it actually got

Starting point is 00:13:46 them out of a very big financial bind and that always stuck with me because it's a reminder that small actions we take today can make a huge difference down the line if you've been thinking about getting started with investing or you just know you got to get it going here's your sign right now you head to acorns.com slash rejects or down on the acorns app to start saving and investing for your future today once again acorns dot com slash rejects supporting them supports the channel but more importantly, it supports your bank account. Because of the subject matter, there's one thing I gotta say. Payne-clined endorsement, compensation provides incentive to positively promote acorns.

Starting point is 00:14:15 Tier 1 compensation provided, investing involves risk. Acorns, advisor, LLC, and SEC to register investment advisor. View, important disclosure is acorns.com slash reex. Thank you again, Acorns for sponsoring this video. All right, I'll admit it. And maybe you guys have noticed during the holidays, I let myself go a little bit. I put on some weight, and for the past 10 days, I have successfully been in a caloric deficit.

Starting point is 00:14:32 This whole new eating regimen, so staying extra hydrated has been quite crucial for me lately. So while I've been drinking tons of water, I've also been incorporating today's sponsor, again, a product I have already been using since before we partner with them, Liquid Ivy. So here's why I've been leaning on their sugar-free hydration multiplier. One stick in 16 ounces of water hydrates better than water alone. It's powered by their LIV hydra science formula, which delivers three times the electrolytes of the leading sports drinks, packed with essential vitamins like B12 and vitamin C, giving me that extra boost to support recovery and energy levels. And the flavors, honestly, they're incredible, and sometimes I just mix them with my protein shakes. or I just drink them on their own. Every one I've tried is refreshing, smooth,

Starting point is 00:15:11 and doesn't have that overly sweet aftertaste you get with some other products? All in all, I'm very grateful for liquid IV. Again, I've already been using their product. While this is yes and agreed upon endorsement, I was like, well, it's a no-brainer to endorse them, considering how much benefits I feel when I use their product. It's made saying hydrated so much easier.

Starting point is 00:15:27 So whether you're working out or cutting calories, or just pushing through a busy day and don't want to take caffeine. It's one of the quickest simplest ways to give your body what it needs to feel its best. even if you're not on a strict diet or intense workout plan. Staying properly hydrated, supports energy levels, focus, and just overall wellness. I mean, let's face it, we could all use a little bit more balance in our lives.

Starting point is 00:15:48 So if you've been thinking about trying it or even if you haven't, take this as a sign. The fact that you made it this far, take it as a sign. Head to Liquidiv.com and use code rejects for 20% off your first order. That's 20% off when you use code rejects at Liquidiv.com. Give it a try. Made such a difference for me, and I think it will for you too. Thank you again, Liquid Ivy. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:16:08 like, look, if I'm putting on, if I can rank them on quality or enjoyment, I would say the ones I'm going to rewatch or would rewatch with friends and just like shoot the shit, I'd probably say Hobbs and Shaw, Fast 5 and probably this movie, because it's ridiculous. Yeah. Like, he takes a building down by himself with chains. Like, that'd be so fun to be like, anytime you think there is something unrealistic happening in this movie, you take a shot. Oh my God, I'd be dead I know That's crazy You'd have to get your stomach pumped

Starting point is 00:16:41 I'd probably be drunk Multiple times In the first scene Now so that you guys don't die You take a sip Take a little sip Take a sip That's how we're doing it

Starting point is 00:16:49 And it's got to be beer We can't do booze here No don't think that tequila Beer uh-oh Corona specifically There we go Not that German beer That Mr. Nobody was on

Starting point is 00:16:59 We don't roll that way No no Corona all day All day baby In a bucket Yep Yeah I feel I feel good I want in this movie feeling stressed I feel good I feel hyped I feel ready to

Starting point is 00:17:13 to drive fast I'm ready to drink some coronas I'm ready to take on the day and talk about this movie because what the hell that was great that was that was so much fun wild wild Terry you got any final thoughts for you get out of here oh man not not really just like I give them credit for being self-aware and making just a whack ado wild movie that I guarantee you the four to five people in the writing room were like this is ridiculous but it's gonna be awesome

Starting point is 00:17:46 because they're like we have the money this is F9 baby let's go and I'm here for it that's right all right guys that'll do it for us today join us for Fast 10 we'll see if it tops this one let's see if it's on par who knows I'm just ready to get into it

Starting point is 00:18:02 but until next time guys we love you and we'll see you in the next one Well, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to be having this Valentine's Day party. We might as go kick it off to see what's going on here. I'm so excited. King Badger, wow, warming us up with just a normal box of chocolates. Thank you so much, King Badger's bringing us a normal box of chocolates. Thank you. Altlook Club going on a Tuesday brought the tunes today.

Starting point is 00:18:28 Full-on DJ set up, heart-shaped records, hard-shaped glasses. We love to see it. Oh, Mace Blair. Just a giant petal of roses for so much to spread all over the ground, all over the ground. Justin Kaznave has brought, he's dressed as Cupid in a little diaper with wings. Oh, really? Yeah, he's got a little suction cup arrows that he's shooting at people making matches. Speaking of matches, M.W. brought 100 books of matches, one giant candle and is challenging everyone in the room to a

Starting point is 00:19:05 match of epic proportions oh mac mac went old school here he bought some valentine's day cards badman style he's handing them out to everyone custom made hell's yeah one because he was confessing his love for our next patron dude which is suave master 42 who's so suave so i'm master didn't even bring anything he's just passing out the valentines that were given to to him or heard them whatever whichever kind of master you are you're the most popular Well, you see, though, Swab got a good Valentine's Day cart that was a little bit more romantic for Mac than Jay did. Jay, though, sat there jealous and upset, wondering if maybe the bottle of wine wasn't such a good idea to bring today. Uh-oh, uh-oh, and snarled asp also spurned by the actions of Swabmaster, just brought a live snake.

Starting point is 00:19:56 Oh, no. Because, you know, that's a sexy but dangerous, you know, symbolic Valentine's Day creature, you know. Well, that's crazy because Boeing 84 brought a box of condoms. Oh, good. Oh, good. Just one box, six of them. Not enough to pass around. No, and not big enough for everybody.

Starting point is 00:20:16 Or small enough for everybody. Going to go to waste. They're just wrong. They're not as good as well as fam 56.78 brought. Fem 5678 brought 56-78 brought 56 chocolate strawberries and 78 love potions number nine. And that's almost enough to cover everybody. Everyone gets at least a couple drinks out of the deal. So good planning on your end.

Starting point is 00:20:37 And then Josh Pogue, this is what Josh Pogue does every year, yeah, we keep bringing them back. Love him. He spiked the alcohol. Oh, Josh. Now everyone is a little loopy, tripping. They're tripping, some are being knocked out. It is uncomfortable, but people are safe. It's okay because, yeah, now Shannon Darbonne is inspired by this mind-altering experience

Starting point is 00:20:57 and is spitting live beat poetry that is causing people to fall in love even faster. That's crazy. It's like a crazy Afrodisiac party when Uncle Dog shows up. Who is the actual biological uncle of everyone here? And he feels very uncomfortable because he hasn't caught up with anyone in years. Nope, no cool uncle for you. You got work to do. And you should catch up first and foremost with requimdism.

Starting point is 00:21:27 And, you know, give him some tutelage. Oh, yeah. Because, you know, I'm sure that, you know, not everybody here has it. date and maybe recumbus mood could use some love and a one four three or something like that you know well with that extra love a a ron finally brought some candles because everything has been going out of this party they thought hey we should have done this to begin with because it's romantic but now it smells bad in here so you know it's a sweaty party that's a really sweaty full of a lot of tension and sexual energy and hey speaking of sexual energy and the ambience from the candles Dylan Jagger is

Starting point is 00:22:05 busting out the moves like Jagger getting this dance party going snaking them hips around thank you Dylan Jagger wearing those low-rise jeans leaving little to the imagination well Liam Lewis Jr. brought a copy of a big mama's house he he nothing says valentine's like Martin Moore because we all come from a mama we do and if you know your mama or don't know your mama we got to appreciate our mama and so before we get this love going let's think about our moms

Starting point is 00:22:34 That's what I have. Word to your mom, and also, Lane Pap is here. And your mom probably already knows how to take care of her feminine hygiene. So we're not going to make that joke this time. Instead, Lane Pap is going to... He brought a bunch of soda pap. Wow. And some pap music records to put on.

Starting point is 00:22:56 Well, Luke Schnur thought way ahead. He brought many an enema machines. Let's go. Everyone's going to need to clear it out. Everyone's going to need a lot of anime action. Yeah. Uh-huh. Nothing says Valentine's Day like a colonic irrigation of sorts.

Starting point is 00:23:10 Chad Colton, speaking of which, brought some fondue. Because what's sexier than a melty cheese or chocolate scenario? Plus, you know, if you're chocolate, strawberry, then a little melty, you can re-up. Thank you, Chad. Also, just your profile pick looks so sweet with that monochrome. Well, Matthew Arms brought dolls. and you know what kind of dolls I'm talking about. Ryan Gosling Ken dolls.

Starting point is 00:23:37 That's right. That's right. Anatomically incorrect. Life size. Life size. Tell me you don't want one. Louisa brought a life size Margo Robbie, which is one. So everybody line up to take your pictures with it.

Starting point is 00:23:53 Uh-huh. Well, that's, I can't top, when Antonio Mederius brought actual Ryan Gossi. Oh, wow. Dude. That's cool. If you want to be cool, you always bring someone cooler than you. I'm going to pull your Hollywood card. You always look great.

Starting point is 00:24:08 And people will be our friends with you to be friends with that. That's right. There's no more Blue Valentine's today. And 100% would, you know, just brought the vibe into the room. And now everyone's 100% would. It might have been Ryan Gosling, but I think it's probably you, my, you know, barky fellow. Well, ogrely ambitious. He brought furry.

Starting point is 00:24:32 things to change into because I don't know what those are called. I don't participate. Yeah. But hey, it's our Valentine's Day reject party. We're going to try some stuff out before we get this shindig going and Marjorie's going to close us out strong. Dude, that's right before the lights go out. Marjorie, yeah, Marjorie

Starting point is 00:24:48 before the lights go out, Marjorie places the bottle in the middle of the floor so we can all play lights out, spin the bottle and revisit some old high school or junior high trauma. Wow. Because nobody doesn't love playing

Starting point is 00:25:04 that game. And hey, this has been a really successful Valentine's. It has. I've got to say. Thank you guys for attending our Valentine's Day party. Please make sure to take a shower. Also, make sure to get tested. And on top of that, too, you sign
