Well, we just watch The Fast and the Furious. If you're listening on Apple or in Spotify, you want to go and give us five stars.

Starting point is 00:01:31 and your merch and your chesties and your shade jerks. You got some drops coming soon. Yeah, you'll probably see a holiday sweater. He's got some stuff. Yeah, you're going to see that in the holiday season, but we're going to hear talk about that. We're going to talk about the fast and the furious Tara.

Starting point is 00:01:47 Yeah. How are you feeling? I just did not expect that ending. I was like, I thought like, well, we got to touch pace. Like, how is he going to clean this up? What's he going to say to his employers. But hey, I love, I really like this movie. I thought it was a lot of fun. I think that the sort of the bait and switch that Paul Walker is an undercover cop is very cool, but that he gets

Starting point is 00:02:14 way too invested in his friendship and in the lives of Toreto and Toreto's sister. But they didn't paint it in a way that it's like, oh, he likes the sister so much that he can't turn them in because it wasn't about that he actually likes dom too he he like i think maybe he felt like he fit in there because remember when they're like let's say grace where i'm like that's weird right uh that they're that they're the people who are like oh we we you know steal stuff but like let's say grace i really like that aspect and that made them it showed us that they're like a family they have a really strong bond and i bet you he probably was just missing that so i'd like that they threw that in there which made it way more convincing that him as an undercover cop

Starting point is 00:03:02 would let Touretta go after he finds out he is indeed the one boosting all of the stuff right um that he wouldn't just be turn him in and that it wouldn't be such an obvious story of like i'm not going to turn him in because i'm in love with your sister no it's not about that it's about the overall i think like familial familial that's such a a weird word. It is an odd word. Fybe that he gets and that's why. Which I really like that. I think that's what this

Starting point is 00:03:35 story is about. It's about family. Yeah. I think it was really fun. I thought it was really good. I, you know, had vague images in my head about this. Again, 2001. I think I saw like one time when I was a kid. So I was like, okay.

Starting point is 00:03:50 I remember like the racing, but I didn't know it was like a heist slash crime semi who done it kind of thing and I really enjoyed it genuinely I think they had a really great chemistry from start to finish I thought all

Starting point is 00:04:06 of the racing scenes were really exciting the way that they were able to convey the speed using special effects and then showing the mechanisms and you can tell there's a lot of love for cars in this movie but also it was on the lighter side in this movie but the heist stuff was really entertaining too that big

Starting point is 00:04:22 heist at the end or they're on the side of the car and then he's The truck driver is shooting him. And I know that this movie or this franchise is notorious for upping the ante each film. But even watching it just coming into it essentially with new eyes, watching this first movie, it's still very, very impressive. And you feel the stakes of both what's happening for the characters and just the literal action that's happening in front of you. I was just entertained for start to finish. And also you just become endeared to the characters.

Starting point is 00:04:54 I really believed Dom and I really believed what's Paul Walker's character's name? Brian. I really believe their dynamic and yeah kind of building off of what you said. I really bought their chemistry as friends. I really bought his relationship with the sister and I like Michelle Rodriguez and Dom's relationship, Letty and Dom's relationship as well. Yeah. And it was just

Starting point is 00:05:18 really entertaining. The music definitely added a flare to it as well. very 2001 and kind of had that techno hip hop rock thing kind of going very reminiscent of video games for my youth and yeah I just really enjoyed it and I'm now invested and want to see more of the fast and furious and how where does this go man because we just ended on a cliffhanger essentially totally and I'm like oh that's people just watch this in 2001 and they're just like I guess that's it yeah you know do they know if there's going to be a sequel right after this or did they're like all right i guess it's just over now because i that was that movie i feel like the movie ended i don't feel like it had an ending i feel like it just ended yeah but yeah i'm very curious about the fallout of the events because like yeah we lost two homies along the way in this journey dom's seemingly now in the wind yeah you let him go let him go it's like you know loyalty over over over his job really yeah to Huell for sponsoring today's video. Now, guys, I'm going to give you all the God's honest truth of how

Starting point is 00:06:28 this sponsorship came to be. Sponsorship came to be. We got contacted about basically partnering up with Huel. Before we agreed to anything, the very first thing I said was I would like to try the product first. I did a Instagram post on our Real Rejects one. It was the first time you see me trying the Huell product. Basically going like, hey, we might not partner with them. This is not a paid Instagram post, but I just wanted to try it since a lot of you guys asked for, like, health recommendations now and the know kind of what I take only because of the fact that I'm vegetarian. I have very limited protein options. So I gave it a shot and ended up loving it. Primarily the chocolate one. Wow, this is really, this is a really great one. One of the best things

Starting point is 00:07:05 about it is that, yes, it's prepackaged. And a lot of times when it comes to like the pre-packaged bottles, I'm not a big fan of them normally, which he got me drinking on camera, is one of these, which takes a very long time to put together and can often get messy, and it's just not aesthetically pleasing, but I'm trying to pack like a lot of vitamins and fiber protein. The best part about Hewell is a lot of what I try to pack into this one giant shake is already available in this little bottle. Often taste better than what I can actually assemble myself. It actually tastes great. It's got a high protein intake count as well, and you know what? Brad new bottle. If you guys can see, it's filled to the top. This is how good it tastes.

Starting point is 00:07:44 Now, normally what you want to do is spread it out, but if you want it in one go, it is just as good. It tastes really freaking good. Thank you so much for sponsor in this video. The one thing they want me to say is this is you can get 15% off Huell today with code rejects at Huell.com slash Rejects. Fuel your best performance with Huel today. They are a great. and I am already almost out of the many bottles they sent me.

Starting point is 00:08:17 If you guys do go check them out at Hewell.com slash Rejects. You'll see they've got a whole bunch more items available as well. And if they taste anything as good as this, I'm going to be a very happy customer for a very, very long time. So join me on this health journey. And I think that they did a really good job with the stunts, but specifically so in those master shots, they didn't need to show us.

Starting point is 00:08:35 That was practical. We made fun of, there was six CG cars in the beginning of just driving and maybe they missed that master shot. They obviously had enough actual stunt cars because we saw a bunch of master shots. I mean, there's racing cars all over the place. They did a great job of that. They didn't have to show us in the master of like the master shots of practical stunts of the two motorcycles like jumping over those hills and the orange car jumping. We saw two of those.

Starting point is 00:09:03 A really great stunt with the motorcyclist going down the hill and really trailing. We stayed on that shot. They could have easily cut away and not made it as extreme. They didn't. They really went like full in on this. I think probably the most dangerous stunt was the car going underneath the truck, which you can see that they set up a camera in the back of the truck to actually pick up that shot. So it wasn't a cheat shot. Because like if you're thinking we don't want them to actually do this, how you would cheat the shot is just show her like she's going to pull into it and then show her on the other side of the truck kind of only a little bit underneath it, but she didn't go all the way under and cut back to her coming out the other side. You guys get it. They didn't do that. They showed the car actually going under and making its way through, which I thought was very impressive, very cool.

Starting point is 00:09:49 I think we've seen some of that stuff before. Maybe they've pulled it from old school racing car movies. I don't know if they're the first ones to do that. I know we've seen it before maybe in some other stuff, but they really pulled that off. And it gives me a lot of respect to the movie that even if people are like, oh, the script isn't the best or if they somehow find something like wrong with the movie. because of the plot or something, which I think it was great, right?

Starting point is 00:10:16 But there's critics that could, like, probably pull it apart. I'm like, I give this movie full respect for pulling out the stops when it came to cars that if there are people who are car people that come to watch this movie, I do believe that they would appreciate it. And that's a little bit what we're going for, right? As well as a general audience. So I think they did a great job.

Starting point is 00:10:40 I can't wait to watch the next one. Yeah, same here. Same here. Okay. We won't read trivia because we've got to watch another one and I don't want to get spoiled. So. That part. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:10:53 That part, guys, all right with that. We're going to end it here. Thank you so much for watching the class and the furious. Let us know what you think of the comments. And we see you guys in the next one. Doses.
