Starting point is 00:00:00 Music 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 What I was just saying Tim is I don't think it's very cool to objectify a woman like that Hello everybody and welcome to this Hmm, hmm I would just 24th? 24th? Can you
Starting point is 00:00:41 Thanks Joe Hold, you wait What is this? Hold on for a second. Can anyone here add the numbers 7, 8, and 9? 15, 24? Where'd you get 15? 7 and 8.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Yeah. Oh, I see, yeah. It's always fun to talk about maths and how would you do this. Yeah, yeah. It's always fun. 47 times 3, how would you do it? How would you do it? I'd do 50 times 3 minus 9.
Starting point is 00:01:05 Why? Because that's how I would do it. You just asked me how I would do it? How would you do it? I'd do 50 times 3 minus 9 Why? Because that's how I would do it You just asked me how I would do it Yeah, yeah I would do 40 times 3, then 7 times 3, then add them together That's more complicated That is way harder Yeah, wow Hello everybody
Starting point is 00:01:17 And we've got a special guest here It's Joseph Moore He's back again We thought it was important to have him on As we kiss farewell to furious seven i feel bad because the previous times i've come on this podcast i'm i've gone on record as being no fan of eight and nine um or less of a fan and i was talking this one up so much you know and i was like you really i'm so excited for you guys to be able to watch what I consider probably the peak of the series five through seven.
Starting point is 00:01:48 And then I was disappointed to hear when I was talking to you recently, Guy. I was like, how about it? You're like, it's off to a rough start, mate. I'm not going to lie. But we, I think, also feel guilty in that our – I'll be right back. Okay. I'm just going to check these cameras.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Our initial union with the movie was a challenge. It was on a double feature day. We finished F8 and then climbed straight into F7 in the middle of a comedy festival. So we're not being generous as lovers with the movie. And then I will say it has been and was a sort of peaks and troughs. It was like a toxic relationship.
Starting point is 00:02:22 The highs were dizzyingly high. You think it's going to feel like this forever. And the lows, you're wondering, how do I get out of this? That double feature is interesting. There's a kind of a contention in my otherwise perfect marriage where if we're binging a series. A TV series? A series, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:41 My rule is between seasons, you have to take a few days off because the cast and crew did, you know. And like we've got to kind of recreate the vibe of years passing, a year passing and the reset. And Laura's always like, all right, season four episode 20 is finished. Let's get into – I'm like, no, no, no. I'm inclined to agree with you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:04 I have funny little bugbears about things like that where I feel like at least the night at least the night you can't just dive into the next season and this is what maybe got Seven off to a bad start with you because what you should have done is gone back in time a night
Starting point is 00:03:19 we should have time travelled to the day before and watched it that was the proper way to do it. Time travel does not exist. It probably will in Fast 11. Well, that's a spoiler. Joe's seen Fast 10. And we did posit that time travel would be like the new vehicle.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Yes. And it seems it isn't again. Sorry, man. No, it's all good. It's all good. Probably for the best. They've got a big metal soccer ball, though. That's cool.
Starting point is 00:03:45 Easy, easy. Like Rocket League.'s all good. Probably for the best. They've got a big metal soccer ball, though. That's cool. Easy, easy. Like Rocket League. Yeah, essentially. Easy on the sport. Can we, I mean, hypothetically, we could only get spoiled the way we're doing these movies if they released a prequel to the first Fast and the Furious and someone watched that and told us about it. Arguably, Fast 10 should already be canon absorbed into our experience of watching the Fast and the Furious movies.
Starting point is 00:04:06 I mean, I love where your head's at. Now that there's a new one set after the ones you've seen watching in reverse, you've really boned yourselves in this whole thing. We're trapped in no man's land. But that kind of weird chronology is very true to the Fast universe as we were discussing in the movie today.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Well, Tim seemed to take all of that information in stride. Like it wasn't confusing at all. I could not get my head around what you were talking about. Well, not that it was confusing, but I knew that there was lots of, actually I did understand it, but I was aware there's a lot of fucking timelines in this franchise that are going on. So we've got films that are separated in terms of release date by years and many movies in between them that sort of happened simultaneously.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Yes. So this one you were saying... You guys were getting confused today, like how do they know Han died? Yes. But that's because another movie that you haven't seen yet... Is where you see it happen. You see them get the phone call,
Starting point is 00:04:59 but that happens during the timeline of this movie. I also keep forgetting the funeral they're at is Han's funeral. Who did you think it was? I was just like, oh, yeah, we're at a fucking funeral. Okay, whatever. Well, because there's so many. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Miles from high school. Because we are going backwards, Joe, this is the thing. It's like there'll be bits of information where it comes up and I'm like, oh, yeah, I guess that's from five or six or one or three or two or four. Who's in the control room? Who's got all of this, you know, like who's got this map down in front of them? Like,
Starting point is 00:05:34 cause the, the, the Tokyo drift, which was the third movie that they made is set either alongside or just before what we've just watched. It is, it is set between six and seven. That is, I mean, how did they,
Starting point is 00:05:48 how's the confidence to be like making your third movie and this will be like in the world of the seventh film? Or is it a case where they made one and two and then they were like, now for something really special, here's lots of years in advance. And then it went well and they were like, we can pad some of them between.
Starting point is 00:06:11 No, no, it's it pretty much immediately after the it's not very thoughtful for people who are doing it the way we are it's actually it's disrespectful it's pretty inconsiderate if you want to consider canon because they never say what year it is um but like considering like i always base it on the iphone're using. 2 is set in what, 2003? So Tokyo Drift was made I think 2005 or 2004. It's set in present day and these happened before that. What does present day mean? Well, present day in 2004. We simply must assume that all of these movies are set around 2003, 2004.
Starting point is 00:06:47 They are the months of July 2003,ust 2003 you know what it's actually it's not um it's quite fortunate that we've immediately gotten a sort of timeline and trying to map it out because we closed our last episode uh joseph yes we were trying to solve for i would keep describing her as that scandinavian woman i was mortified at the start of this movie To discover that Elena is South American I'm pretty sure Brazilian Oh no I know Brazilian
Starting point is 00:07:08 Because Because they meet her in Brazil Spoiler alert You can meet a Swedish person In Ghana What I'm trying to say Is this Unheard of
Starting point is 00:07:17 She's got a pretty emotional Brazilian backstory Okay Talk to me about this Which she doesn't bring up again F7 Talk to me about this F7 It doesn't bring up again. F7. Talk to me about this. F7, it's suggested, heavily implied,
Starting point is 00:07:30 that there is a history shared between Vin and Elena. Yeah. In F8, Vin discovers, as a catalyst for action in the whole movie, that Elena has been pregnant with his child and has given birth to her son yeah their son yeah what is the time what is the timeline we've got to assume that all 10 movies take the place over about three months but it takes nine months to bake a baby well okay they take little breaks you know to to go to the Dominican Republic. Which we also just want to button sidebar the Dom and I can Republic, which I would love to come back to.
Starting point is 00:08:10 But I do really want to try and see if we can get into the actual, what is a logical solution in terms of the way their romantic dalliance, the timelines alongside Dom and Letty. Because I don't understand how they could have tied us a knot. Look, how much do you want me to get into? Let's break this down into months, okay? Okay. So without spoiling too much about what happens in what you consider to be future films.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Yeah. Your version of future films. Dom and Elena meet, I'm going to say January. Okay. After Leti suffers amnesia. Or is assumed dead. Is assumed dead. You figured that one out. Letitia or Tez. Yeah. After Leti suffers amnesia. Or is assumed dead. Is assumed dead.
Starting point is 00:08:46 You figured that one out. Letitia Ortiz. Yeah, yeah. They think she's dead. So he's like, all right, I've got time to move on. I'm going to meet this Brazilian babe. I'm going to hear her harrowing backstory.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Hear her harrowing backstory. Once only. Let's say they're boning by February. Okay. Fast six So they're broken up by March Fast seven Sounds like a James Roque bit Or a David Gray song
Starting point is 00:09:15 He's got slow release So they're boning in February Is that what you're telling me? No He's got the lentils of cum Let him do the math If anything It's fast
Starting point is 00:09:27 And furious So she's making this baby In three, four months Yeah, okay So, okay, March So they've had sex in February They're broken up in March Yeah, but
Starting point is 00:09:40 Come April Well, come February And in April you'll have a baby But come April. Well, come February. And in April you'll have a baby. So Elaine is pregnant, unknowingly pregnant in this movie. I got to say, yeah. She's pregnant the whole movie. And she's not showing at all. She doesn't know she's pregnant?
Starting point is 00:09:57 And they've just finished having sex before this movie starts. Yeah, yeah, like right before the credits. Okay, that's what we... Right before he goes to race wars. That seems pretty nasty to Letty because he's in a car with Letty at the start of this movie. He's just finished having sex.
Starting point is 00:10:09 But he would have only just discovered she's alive because I assume that's what happens at the end of... I would say he stops having sex with her about halfway through six. So you and... Oh, that's when Letty turns up alive. I don't want to ruin it for you guys. Well, you have.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Well done. You put your fucking foot in it. No, this is reverse engineering and this feels important to kind of understand this movie i feel like we can dig a little bit okay what do you want to know well i'm assuming so just based on all the clues we have including a little bit of hat tip from you yeah that lady is assumed dead until halfway between half halfway through six and that's when she turns up alive so that's the bit and that's gonna be tricky for uh dom isn't it it's gonna be yeah it is
Starting point is 00:10:49 well it would be it would be only made more complicated if he found out that he'd impregnated his new love and not only that but lady is alive with amnesia and he will find that out still dead in fast eight three weeks after fast six yeah wow okay so elena is pregnant the whole time in this movie. Surely. She has to be. She has to be. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:08 But the key to me is that she doesn't know? Question mark. Wow. Is she seen drinking alcohol in this film? No. She's seen being blown out of like the seventh story of a building. Yeah. And so it's got, I don't know too much about babies, but I think the earlier, the smaller the fetus.
Starting point is 00:11:28 You think the baby grows over the pregnancy? Yeah, yeah, that's one thing. But the smaller it is, the more it can sustain. Bullets? Yeah, like the further away it is from your skin. As long as you're cushioned by the rock when you fall onto the car. I would imagine landing on the rock Would be harder than landing on a car
Starting point is 00:11:47 Yeah maybe I don't think there's a lot of give on that body No Not a lot of give on a car But I think you're right They're pretty tired You're no better off landing on the rock If they were to George Lucas
Starting point is 00:11:58 Retrofit these movies They would put in a scene Where Elena's throwing up In the morning on the way to uh um get blown out of a hospital and yeah so and in between it's nervous about when she visits um the rock in the hospital there'd be a scene where she quickly nips into another room and she's yeah yeah and so then give me a in between stirrups out doc yeah it's a stirrup what is she doing in there what she's going to just pay on What? She's going to the gynecologist.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you think they spot the embryo up the vagina? I felt like that's what Joe was kind of getting to. I think I might be pregnant. I better get to a gynecologist to check. You know what? Maybe that's what I thought.
Starting point is 00:12:41 You yell up the vagina. Echo! Echo! I know you pee on a stick. Do you not? You've had a baby. Do you not like go for I didn't personally But go on Do you know
Starting point is 00:12:49 Do you not go for like a double check Like a real good Yeah you go for a scan It's an ultrasound You go for a scan But they do that over the belly Yeah no stirrups for that one Are you cabbing
Starting point is 00:12:56 If you want You can go stirrups Well it's not even really your call Okay so Look the main thing This has become a biology podcast three of the most unqualified people talking about pregnancy okay so i feel we were right it's the important yeah yeah i think we cracked it at the end of the last satisfied our quest for knowledge pertaining to that pregnancy timeline i dive into our notes because I took so many.
Starting point is 00:13:25 This is why, sorry, this is just quickly, it's why no one in Fast and Furious universe knows about pregnancy or babies. And that's why it's so important to them that as soon as one of their friend has a child, they need to remove him from their life. And never see them again. Yeah. And you need to get Charlie Puth and Wiz Khalifa to write a song about it.
Starting point is 00:13:46 This centers around the fact that if you take this film in isolation from the real world events of Paul Walker, unfortunately dying, what happens in the Fast and Furious franchise, a franchise famed for loving nothing but family at the top of the pyramid of priorities, as soon as one of them has a kid,
Starting point is 00:14:06 he's like, fuck it out. You're out. He's out of here. Drive away. I never want to see you again. And then goes on to name his son after the baby. Yeah, Dom does. In remembrance of their friend
Starting point is 00:14:17 who became a father and had to leave. Tim, you've had a baby, and I see you probably slightly less. Well, I was going to say, you guys mourned my loss from the friendship group right and if i have a baby i will name it tim little tim to remember to remember that tim also has a baby who is now a toddler and and god willing one day i'll be um living in a farm and giving him drills on what to do
Starting point is 00:14:42 if bad guys turn up and where to hide in the trap door. Yeah, yeah. Now, can I ask you this, Joey? When's the last time, you're a Fast 7 fan, you think this is the second best movie in the Fast and the Furious universe?
Starting point is 00:14:52 I have told you that, haven't I? Is that, do you stand by that? I think so. Getting older, I have, the early ones
Starting point is 00:15:00 have started to resonate a little bit more with me. Pure nostalgia? It's the simplicity of the storytelling. God, I'm looking forward to that. And when you go back, the escalation was so fun, but when the allure of that escalation is gone and you look at them as a whole, as an individual piece,
Starting point is 00:15:22 one is pretty goddamn solid. Right. if it were me i'd watch it as many times as i could well not the path we took not the path we've chosen yeah but so when's the last time before today that you'd seen fast seven i've probably seen fast seven all up in my life eight times i'd say wow i probably just beat you yeah and this I do own the Blu-ray. I think the last time I would have been the first lockdown when I watched. You did all of them. I did all of them with my beautiful wife. Could I ask you a quick, sorry, Guy.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Did you take a night off between screenings? Absolutely. That was a week. Can I ask you a Blu-ray question? Yeah. Do you watch the Blu-rays of stuff that you own? Yeah. Do you see the difference between streaming stuff And Blu-ray
Starting point is 00:16:06 Yeah I think so I think it Well not necessarily actually Because streaming can be in 4K Sometimes in Blu-rays What if we got 1080p It's way shit of 4K though
Starting point is 00:16:13 Yeah What if we got identical screens up And you guys didn't know I could absolutely Joe and I would be able To tell instantly Which one was the Blu-ray We're a couple of movie hogs
Starting point is 00:16:22 Instantly You reckon 100% I'd put money on it I would put money on it too Would you like I'll lend you the Blu-ray We're a couple of movie hogs Instantly You reckon? A hundred percent I'd put money on it I would put money on it too Would you like I'll lend you the Blu I've got
Starting point is 00:16:28 I've got the rest I don't have a Blu-ray player I don't have a Blu-ray player I've got a PS4 I never use You can have that What Who's this guy
Starting point is 00:16:36 Throwing away Blu-rays And PS4's He's a man who loves entertainment Absolutely He appreciates entertainment Not that much I've done about I'd say
Starting point is 00:16:42 Six to seven hours research Including Excel spreadsheets This year On Ditching streaming services appreciates entertainment. I've done about, I'd say, six to seven hours research, including Excel spreadsheets this year, on ditching streaming services and going to a... You've got a spreadsheet for this? Well, I'm just like, how much am I spending annually on spreadsheets? Oh my God, run me through those.
Starting point is 00:16:55 On spreadsheets. How much am I spending on spreadsheets? I've got Excel Pro. How much am I spending on streaming services if I ditched all of them and gave myself a budget for how many movies I'd like to watch a year if I just bought them?
Starting point is 00:17:11 Or went to the cinema. Yeah, and just kind of add that. You're losing TV if you do that. You are, but I don't know. Is there any good TV? Some of it's all right. Have you seen Guy Montgomery's Guy Maud Spellingbird? Actually, you get that for free.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Yeah, you do, exactly. I mean, there are ways of obtaining the odd thing, and then you just, you buy things. Talk about these ways of obtaining. I mean, I simply couldn't. But it involves God's eye. You've got to hack into a CCTV footage above someone else's TV. Hack into a webcam. See on a reflection
Starting point is 00:17:46 someone's playing Tokyo Drift. You remember when you used to, I remember like watching an illegal download of Scary Movie 2 and it's clearly someone just set up a camera
Starting point is 00:17:54 and a tripod in a cinema. Yeah, hat cams. Seeing like the silhouettes of people standing up and like walking. Man, we need to bring back the dark art of hat cams because some of them
Starting point is 00:18:01 were pretty good and I believe that like in America somewhere there were places where you could plug headphones in because people were getting good audio in those hat cams because some of them were pretty good and i believe that like in america somewhere there were places where you could plug headphones in because people were getting good audio in those hat yeah a lot of them come from the projection booth people pay off them and get the feed from the audio uh i remember some i have formative experiences with some of those things a camera of super bad that i downloaded before it came out. I watched so many times and it had the audience laughing in it, but it just made it.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Even better. I just saw how hard it was hitting with that room and I was so excited. And it eventually came out in the cinemas and I went and watched it with a dog shit New Zealand audience. You're like, you fucking philistines. You don't appreciate what you're watching here. I mean, you were laughing at all all the You were hitting all the same laughs Me and the guys in Minnesota
Starting point is 00:18:47 Love this scene You guys have it all wrong We've crossed off the timeline thing Which was my top priority We need to Before we forget I think by the end of this I would like to see a calendar from you guys
Starting point is 00:19:01 And just condense this down as tight as it possibly could be. How many days is each thing taking? How many days do you think this movie is set across? Furious 7. Oh, that's a fun one. Yeah. Honestly, like 10. 10 days?
Starting point is 00:19:18 I reckon about a week and a half. Okay. Yeah. Because they do travel a bit. Dom says he's going to, what does he say? He's going to London, but he goes via. No, he goes, he's like, I'm going to Los Angeles. And the next thing you know, you see Dom in Tokyo.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's so funny. So Race Wars is on a Monday. Yeah. That's the start of the movie. Yeah. Well, the start of the movie is maybe on a Sunday night when Deckard Shaw is in London blowing up a hospital.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Oh, that's true. But that could be happening simultaneously Because that's in the UK Yeah And then you've got Race Wars Race Wars is going on From Race Wars That night They go to the graveyard
Starting point is 00:19:54 And then the next day Dom is visiting Mia And then the next day It's the morning And Brian's dropping So we're on Monday So now we're on Tuesday Tuesday
Starting point is 00:20:04 No because you said Race Wars on Sunday? No no Deckard Shaw's on. So we're on Monday. So now on Tuesday. Tuesday. No because you said race was on Sunday. No no. Dekachur's on Sunday night. Race was on Monday. Why aren't they happening at the same
Starting point is 00:20:10 time? Dekachur needs time to go to Japan and kill Han real quick. Oh that's a point. Oh yeah true. So he has to get from the UK to Tokyo.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Race was on Monday. I reckon he hightails it though. He goes out of the hospital into a plane. Yeah. To get to Tokyo. So call that 12 hours. Wow. No but we know because I don't know if you remember the opening. That into a plane. Yeah. To get to Tokyo. So call that 12 hours.
Starting point is 00:20:26 We know because I don't know if you remember the opening. That's a 12-hour flight. You've got to check in two hours before the plane leaves. He's flying private. He used to be SAS. He's got a really nice apartment in London that we see at the start of Hobson Shore. I just can't imagine after a big night like that blowing a hospital up, he's not going to go out, get on the piss, have sex with some floozy,
Starting point is 00:20:44 as is his want and then wake up the next morning pull himself a pint of bitter at the local pub then he's getting on the plane to Tokyo to kill her Tuesday it is
Starting point is 00:20:51 you're right okay then on Tuesday the family house blows up and they will get wait wait but he's got to mail the bomb from Tokyo
Starting point is 00:20:58 after he kills Han we assume he's paying for express yes but that's 48 hours at least I'd say three days at a Yeah But that's 48 hours At least I'd say three days At a minimum
Starting point is 00:21:07 Really That's not on a plane That's on a boat What do you mean To get through security You've got to Sneak that onto a Shipping container right
Starting point is 00:21:16 Because it's an explosive Yeah You're right How far can a helicopter So that's six weeks Well we've fucked it And Elena should be Show showing by now yeah exactly in between that and when the bomb arrives it's uh is captain phillips
Starting point is 00:21:33 well if they had a camera on the boat there's the boat with the bomb on it driven to the u.s is going this way and then there's another boat going the other way and if they film the camp you know sometimes in movies it's like the camera captures the this way and then there's another boat going the other way and if they film the camera you know sometimes in movies it's like the camera captures the action happening and then you follow that camera onto the other boat then you're in Captain Phillips
Starting point is 00:21:50 I don't know how we get back to Fast and the Furious I think a few things can be solved by the fact that Deckard Shaw is very well connected in the criminal underworld and so I think he can get that
Starting point is 00:22:00 by air call that 54 hours two and a half days so it's on the doorstep thursday thursday thursday evening although it's very bright out and we see brian take that's the morning no it's another morning he's taking he's taking him to the school the day before so it's got to be a weekday we started monday okay i reckon it's thursday the bomb is at the house okay thursday yeah so then the bomb explodes Then we Are going to
Starting point is 00:22:26 Well Dom's going to Tokyo right That's a 12 hour Not from LA LA it's like flying from here to Perth I reckon You can get there on the same day roughly the same time Yeah but more like a 9 hour flight LA to Tokyo I'm going to call it 7
Starting point is 00:22:41 I think the time zone works against you I think it's 7 Hawaii to Tokyo Have'm going to call it 7 I think the time zone works against you when you go I think it's 7 Hawaii to Tokyo have you I looked this up I was in Hawaii and there's a large number of
Starting point is 00:22:52 Japanese tourists and I was like oh is it for some reason I was stupid and I was like it must be close that's why
Starting point is 00:22:57 what's our later Hawaii 3? 3 hours? our later Hawaii is 5 5? ok 5 plus 7 12 if it's a direct so call it twelve
Starting point is 00:23:06 So now we're Thursday So Friday night He's in Japan To meet up with Lucas Black Cool So that's Friday night Taking care of
Starting point is 00:23:15 Yes also Why is he there again We know a little bit Of what he does Oh through Tokyo Drift Through Tokyo Drift That Texan guy
Starting point is 00:23:22 Dom he's got to have A quick race Oh my god While he's there Well have a quick race. Oh, my God. While he's there. Well, that adds another fucking day. So with that line he says, because there is a little, I've always noticed that. He says, damn, I knew you were fast. And he says, who says American power can't drift?
Starting point is 00:23:35 Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, so they've just had a race. Yeah, yeah. Is that satisfying as a fan of the franchise watching it in the traditional order? To know what that race was all about? Yeah. Is it?
Starting point is 00:23:46 That was exciting, yeah. Will it hit the same for us? No. Okay, we'll take a break from the timeline to ask, do you see any merits in the way that we're doing this as a fan of the franchise? I guess as a social experiment. Is there any way we could unearth or experience something in a way that you wish you could have um like one of the things that's always i love about this franchise is the worst idea of all time um yeah yeah and and in another way the um fast and furious the uh
Starting point is 00:24:18 is their commitment to canon and and the way that they will retroactively unpack everything or pack everything to make it all work when they don't need to. They could have forgotten Tokyo Drift existed. And so I guess there might be something satisfying to look at that and feel like this was all supposed to happen. It's like reading a detective novel backwards. Yeah. And often detective novels are novel backwards. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:47 And often detective novels are written backwards. Yeah. But they're traditionally read forwards. Friday, Tokyo. Not in Israel. No? No. Where is it?
Starting point is 00:25:03 Are you going left and right to left? The places that read... Yeah, that's Arabic and Japanese. I think you're right. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So, Friday... Not in Tokyo. That's why that movie's out of order.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Nice, nice, nice, nice. We're in Tokyo. It's Friday night. Yes. We've had a race, which transpires in fulsome form in Tokyo Drift, but that's by the by. That happens, and then... So, what is he there to get? That is confusing. That is confusing. then, so what is he there to get? That is confusing.
Starting point is 00:25:26 So then we go from Japan. So Dom now travels from Japan on Friday. So he stays over that night. And he goes home for a funeral. And then on Saturday, he's back for a funeral. The funeral is maybe at the earliest Sunday evening. No, it's in the day because it's light out. Well, is he back in time for that?
Starting point is 00:25:44 Is it like DeRican Sunday day? He's on a red-eye. Fuck, man. He gets off the plane. He doesn't have a lot of sleep, eh? This is all out of sorts. Okay, Sunday's at the funeral. I'm surprised he can drive that well on so much plane sleep.
Starting point is 00:25:55 And how many Coronas does he have in the plane? Fucking heaps, man. He drank the plane dry of Coronas. I hate the way he drinks his beers. We'll get to it. We won't. I have to say it now or we won't.
Starting point is 00:26:06 He holds them, he clenches the neck by the fist which just warms the neck. It means by the time any of the beer is getting out of the bottle into your mouth,
Starting point is 00:26:13 it's warm. It's one of the most ridiculous. Okay, no, I disagree with this. He has a big hand and I'm going to guess a hot hand. Now,
Starting point is 00:26:21 if he's holding that Corona by the body of it, you know, not the, if he's holding that Corona by the body of it, you know, not the neck, he's warming that whole beer in what, one,
Starting point is 00:26:30 two minutes? You don't have to hold, you don't have to have your hand closed around everything you touch. By swinging, by sending, by sending.
Starting point is 00:26:39 This is how Dom Toretto texts. Maybe. And let the record state, Guy is holding his arm fully extended with a phone in it. By holding it
Starting point is 00:26:49 in the neck, he's sending the liquid quickly through that neck, giving it the least amount of time. Have you ever
Starting point is 00:26:57 drunk a beer like that? No. Why not? Because my hand's cold. But why else not? Because I'm a normal guy.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Yeah. But Dom isn't normal. If you've got a big hot hand. Yeah. Sunday funeral. Yeah. He's a standoff with Stath on the Sunday. Yes.
Starting point is 00:27:17 He meets Mr. Nobody. Mr. Nobody takes him away. So that's that night, Sunday night. Is that underground fight with Stath? Sunday through Monday. So on Monday, Monday afternoon at the latest, they're heading to azerbaijan oh fuck i forgot we're going to abu dhabi later yeah god okay so so we've had a week now we've had this is the one now we don't need to worry about airport stuff because by now they've got full military support yeah they've
Starting point is 00:27:38 got the cia support through mr nobody so we assume they're on like military no checks we're good yeah so this is like fast travel in games Yeah They're straight to Azerbaijan But still What's that flight? Come on I'm going to say
Starting point is 00:27:51 I'm going to say eight hours Cool Yeah Especially I feel like military stuff Could go quicker too Who's using the Concorde at the moment? They retired those After they crashed
Starting point is 00:28:01 Nah Mr. Nobody's got access to everything He's got a Concorde You reckon he's got a concord every time you see mr nobody's walking through some huge warehouse with like 30 cars it'd be so funny to me if it was a supersonic passenger jet rather than like a stealth you know modern day if the 35 or whatever so they get they got they got another they i mean they they drop into azerbaijan yeah okay so eight hours so Hold on, sorry. We'll keep tracking.
Starting point is 00:28:25 So Monday night, Azerbaijan. Maybe sleep it off. It's very broad daylight when the party's going on. Are they staying the night in Azerbaijan? Is that where they get the car? Is that Azerbaijan? Or is that Abu Dhabi? That's where they meet Ramsey.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Oh, sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think they're loading those cars onto that military jet in California where the base is. At nightfall, they arrive in Azerbaijan by day. And they're flying straight to Azerbaijan. So they arrive at Monday midday. At midday on Monday, they are jumping out of the plane. Like LA local.
Starting point is 00:28:54 We'll kind of track everything in LA local. Yeah, so it could be like. So Monday day, they land. So it's taking them a week to get there. Pacific time. Yeah, Pacific time. So then. Pretty standard time Or is it PSTD?
Starting point is 00:29:07 Is it post-traumatic stressful disorder time? They go from Azerbaijan to Abu Dhabi Which, I'm going to say Four hours, I have no idea They're there by Tuesday Right on the east of Europe They're there by Tuesday And Right on the east of Europe.
Starting point is 00:29:27 They're there by Tuesday, and they get straight into the party. And that party's having a good time. So Tuesday day, they get it out. How quick is Ramsey to roll with the punches? She's been kidnapped. She gets rescued on Monday night. And by Tuesday, she is an integral member of the party. On Tuesday night, they're giving. So on Tuesday night, they're giving God's Eye to Mr. Nobody.
Starting point is 00:29:43 A three-hour flight From Baku To Abu Dhabi I've got it here Tuesday night They're giving God's eye To Mr. Nobody And then that means At dawn
Starting point is 00:29:52 We're going to attack Deckard Shaw So that means By Wednesday 4am Wednesday morning That's the ambush So they don't successfully
Starting point is 00:30:01 Execute the ambush Wednesday am Shaw winds up With God's eye. They're still in Abu Dhabi. And then they go back to America. So then on Thursday. So we're looking at another kind of.
Starting point is 00:30:13 A day. Seven, eight hour flight. Plus they all got kind of fucked up. Like give them 36 hours at least. No. They don't rest. Well, okay. They have a sleep.
Starting point is 00:30:22 On the plane they get a little sleep. They come back. When they're not talking about the value of family on the plane. Are we now on the second Thursday back in LA? Yeah. So we're like 10 days in now. And you said 10 at the start, but we're going to push it out over 10. I think we're going to wind up looking at about a fortnight.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Yeah. How long between arriving in LA and the drone flight? Oh, it's pretty much straight away. Yeah, I think it's that night. They arrive in LA that morning. They look over the city, and they're like, it's the city. You're right, I think it's that night. They arrive in LA that morning, they look over the city and they're like, it's the city.
Starting point is 00:30:47 You're right, because that's the daytime bit where they have the speech and then Letty gets her memory back when she gets triggered with that beautiful shot that I
Starting point is 00:30:54 think I mentioned in the last episode with LA downtown skyline in the background and Letty and Dom in the foreground. So you said, we're going Monday to
Starting point is 00:31:01 Wednesday here, you said 10 days, we probably could have skipped this and just gone, you're about right, Tim. No, because then they successfully said we're going Monday to Wednesday here you said 10 days we probably could have skipped this and just gone you're about right Tim no because it's important
Starting point is 00:31:06 to show you're working on the flight so then they successfully take back Los Angeles and control the world overnight oh and then they
Starting point is 00:31:12 go to the beach is this Wednesday or Thursday night it's Thursday night and then they go to the beach yeah so that's a and this is they're
Starting point is 00:31:18 chilled out now they're not taking the military jet they're back on commercial they're still taking they're taking is the beach in
Starting point is 00:31:23 California or is it yeah that looks it's suggested it's not I thought they might be back in like the Dominican Republic They're back on commercial. They're still taking it. Is the beach in California? Yeah, that looks west coast to me. It's suggested. I thought they might be back in like... The Dominican Republic? Yeah, yeah. Oh, you reckon?
Starting point is 00:31:31 Nah, it's in New California. To me it always read, because we've been to like... We went to a lovely beach on the Pacific Coast Highway once. Yeah. Where was that? It was in California somewhere.
Starting point is 00:31:38 It looked like that to me. It looked like the Pacific. You'll learn that so many fast movies end in a holiday. They'll fucking earn it, man. Yeah, yeah. It looked like the Pacific. You'll learn this. So many fast movies end in a holiday. Don't fucking earn it, man. Yeah, yeah. Every time you earn it. Fast 8 starts on a holiday in Cuba.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Yeah, yeah. So I just always imagined that poignant final scene was somewhere in the- No, because if they're on a small island and then Dom's like, I'm feeling emotional. I'm going to leave. Oh, yeah. And then they're back together at the airport. We're like, they're all staying at the same place.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Yeah, it doesn't work. Seems like the breakfast buffet. Can I just say this? Can't make eye contact. I heard you say goodbye. I really enjoyed doing the math on that. That was really fun. That was really fun.
Starting point is 00:32:15 I hope the listeners enjoyed it. That was a cool thing to figure out. Listener, please. Listener, we've just got one. They are staunch Republican. It'll be interesting to see how this year goes for them. Republican? Dominic-an Republic. Yeah. Listener, we've just got one And they are staunch Republican It'll be interesting to see how this year goes for them Dominican? Dominican Republic Yeah, well it's just
Starting point is 00:32:30 I don't know if there's a relationship There probably is and you can probably unpack it for us But the way I've read it is Dom, when he realises what's going on And he needs to hide Mia and the family While Brian's coming back to the non-traditional family Which is the Fast and the Furious family He sends Mia to the the non-traditional family which is the the fast and the furious family uh
Starting point is 00:32:45 he sends mia to the dominican republic and it comes up on screen as dominican republic but it's impossible not to read it as the dominant i can republic and my assumption is that dom due to his sort of limited intellectual understanding of you know geopolitics and also the world is like it's my one whenever i need to, I've got a safe haven there. And the dominant I can republic. It's a safe house. He sends anyone who he needs to keep safe there. And that's where they go.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Check it off. It's that nice. All his globetrotting was based just on places that have similar names to him and the family. We're going to Latvia. Nice. For you, lady. we're going to Latvia nice for you lady they should have sent me
Starting point is 00:33:28 to Miami yeah and they should be spending a lot more time in Rome am I right and at the Tej Mahal and in Agra India and Brian
Starting point is 00:33:39 Brianstown where's Brianstown I don't know somewhere there oh there's a big event there I know about that Because of the Bryan Jonestown
Starting point is 00:33:48 No you're thinking of Jonestown I'm thinking of the Bryan Jonestown Massacre There's a band called The Bryan Jonestown Massacre There's a band named after the event Yeah
Starting point is 00:33:55 Hey how do I find this Red carpet footage guys? Oh yeah I'll just go filter by like Look up F10 red carpet cocaine Well way to spoil it. There's a fantastic clip, everybody. Well, while you're doing that, and again,
Starting point is 00:34:11 without sort of, you know, while dancing around the particulars, you went to the cinema to experience F10. F10. How excited were you? Really, I was really excited. I had been a busy boy, and it was my first kind of day off in like a couple of months properly, and I was really excited for it.
Starting point is 00:34:26 How long is it? Two hours and 20? Oh, yeah. It's chunky. It's chunky. I'm going to say closer to 240. Yeah? Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:32 They made the little mermaid reboot two hours and 20. Yeah. Every movie's... I don't know. When cinema is dying, and you're trying to make as much money as possible off these things, make it shorter. Get more screenings going. You charge the same amount per ticket.
Starting point is 00:34:44 I don't know what the hell they're doing 220 seems like they're trying though because we had an era of 3 hour films and I blame Peter Jackson for that quite frankly and it feels like
Starting point is 00:34:52 we are pulling back away from that now some movies are getting I don't hate a long movie how long's Oppenheimer that feels like it's going to be long it's 3 plus
Starting point is 00:34:59 how long's Barbie 2 hours 20 no it's not I've seen people today on social media celebrating the differential in length between those two films. So I think Barbie's going to be a mercenary. It's so funny the way the release dates have been. It's Oppenheimer versus Barbie, basically.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Everyone knows it's both. You've got to go both in the same day. What was the last bit of what you said about Barbie versus Oppenheimer's duration? I've heard that Barbie... Is shorter? When I say heard, I've seen people go, OMG, the Barbie length. Like it's long?
Starting point is 00:35:32 No, I think people are praising that it's going to be an immersively short film. Maybe two Barbies per Fast X. I can't find this fucking clip. God, if it's been scrubbed, I'll be gutted. I'll add cocaine Why don't you keep asking Joseph about Fast X while I'll see if I can Dig it up for you
Starting point is 00:35:50 Someone interview me Fast X where did it Now you actually made a revelation which I'm going to get you to repeat On the pod You are a Letterboxd reviewer You have an account I've been absent for about the last year But I jumped back in To review Fast X
Starting point is 00:36:05 And what did you give it Joe? I gave it two stars How many movies Have you given two stars to Joe? Not many man I think I think I've hit My limit with this franchise
Starting point is 00:36:14 And it didn't actually Make me worry about Coming back today To watch Seven Because I'm like Maybe I'm just over The whole thing Maybe it's time to
Starting point is 00:36:21 I think in my Letterboxd review I said maybe it's time For me to find a new thing Right I've based too much On my personality Around loving these films I feel the same way maybe it's time to I think in my Letterboxd review I said maybe it's time for me to find a new thing right I've based too much on my personality around loving these films I feel the same way
Starting point is 00:36:29 I feel like Guy and I need to find a new thing but go on yeah but it just didn't didn't work the looniness and there's some things
Starting point is 00:36:37 that work Jason Momoa is probably the most interesting villain they've had in a while just because he's so silly and he's in a different movie and it's fun to just watch him be silly
Starting point is 00:36:49 in a different movie. Okay. But none of, the stakes, there's no stakes. You might just have to put the mic up to the thing because I forgot to plug the thing in. I'll continue to listen to Joe.
Starting point is 00:37:01 It actually brings me back to something that made this movie, Seven, I think interesting. There's no stakes whatsoever it um fast x ends on this like stupid unearned cliffhanger um was the beginning of the end of the fast side yeah yeah but it's like oh well which is ultimately without giving too many details will dom die right now in the second it's like no we know he won't. And I was saying to you guys during the screening,
Starting point is 00:37:32 that's what kind of made Seven an incredible movie experience because when I saw it in the cinema, we knew this was Paul Walker's last movie. You knew he'd passed. We knew he'd passed. This gave us this interesting lens to watch the movie through and we didn't know how they were going to deal with it. And genuinely thought at multiple i didn't know how much of the movie that shot without him and there were multiple points throughout the film where i was like is this where they're going to kill off walker everyone thought they'd kill off the character yeah so
Starting point is 00:37:56 like when he was running across that bus yeah and that's like in the first third of the movie yeah i was like shit that would have been this is how they're going to do it would have been a beautiful um sense of euphoric relief and release when he successfully runs up, jumps onto the car, and survives it. Yeah, it was great. And it made that ending hit so hard because no one thought they were going to do that.
Starting point is 00:38:15 You welled up today for the end. Look, it's almost manipulative. It's not a real movie. Real movies don't see off a character who didn't die and then just show a montage of other movies. It's like a slideshow at a funeral. But, Warg, that's what... I mean...
Starting point is 00:38:31 It is. There's no... You guys were saying there's no world in which that context isn't... At least, at worst, peripherally available to the viewer. What I was saying is that you guys said it doesn't make sense... Can you lean back just because you're going to be out of focus with the camera guy? I'm trying to make eye contact with you, bro.
Starting point is 00:38:47 I appreciate you. What I was saying, because you guys said, this movie has such an unearned ending to have a character that's still alive have this big montage. If you divorce it from the context of the actor died, but there's no person alive who sees this movie. That's not a context. They just didn't divorce it from there, and I alive who sees this movie. Like that's not a context.
Starting point is 00:39:05 They just didn't divorce it from there. And I think that's great. I think that's great too. The other thing they could have done is finished it as scripted. Which is? Like whatever it was, it would have just been,
Starting point is 00:39:14 they all high five at the end and then just, he's not in the future. Nah, I so far and away prefer this. No, exactly. I think so. Oh, right. I remember, I read something,
Starting point is 00:39:25 I think it was on Screen Rant. I can't remember if I brought it. I must have brought it up on the podcast. And this might have been retrofitted to qualify the way it was ended. But they were sort of framing it so that it was going to be a will he or won't he come back to the family just because he did. It was already inside of the script suggested that Paul Walker's character might not feature in the next film because he was being pulled away by the responsibility of his family life.
Starting point is 00:39:51 But, like, do you think when Vin Diesel, when they're on that flight in the middle of this 11-day world-saving bender, do you think when he says to Paul Walker, you know, the bravest thing I've seen you do is be a good man to Mia and stuff. Do you think that was written in the original script or do you think that's retrofitted to try and – I reckon they beefed up that stuff hard, surely. There was that lengthy phone call with Brian and Mia where they're just talking about fatherhood and she's kind of way more teary than he is. I didn't realise, but once you mentioned it, that they backfilled and a bunch of stuff to sort of beef up that tension.
Starting point is 00:40:26 I'm like, oh yeah, of course. Because as I told you when we were watching, I was like, man, what a crazy coincidence that they had this incredibly evocative and emotional storyline about him potentially being drawn out of the family to, you know, heir to his responsibilities. And you were like, yeah, they added some stuff in. Once you're like yeah they i think it's a natural once you give the character a kid it's a natural arc to take him through how is how is he going to balance being a father and does he find fatherhood more important than saving the world well do they
Starting point is 00:40:54 explore that in fast x with dom because he's got a fucking kid oh yeah no he gets his kid right in there is little b helping out how is little B? Lil B is a major character in Fast 9. Is he? Is he? That must mean that a lot of time has passed between Fast 9 and Fast 10. Not the traditional month. There is a huge buddy comedy pairing between Lil B and John Cena. And it's stupid. Oh, got it.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Because that could be good. Well, in the meantime Please enjoy this tweet Sorry But we didn't get a direct answer Roughly ballpark How old is little B in Fast Eats? Oh like 12
Starting point is 00:41:32 Okay What the fuck is going on? Fascinating I think that the I think he Jeez I think he might have that disease That Robin Williams has in Jack
Starting point is 00:41:41 Yes I think Like the pregnancy came on Either very late or very quickly and then he was born and then all of a sudden he just exploded out of it If he's 12 it does explain
Starting point is 00:41:53 a way it catches up to modern day considering all these other movies are set in 2004 But everyone else has been trapped in amber in terms of their look and physicality. And it does explain how they can be friends with Cypher now. Because enough time has passed.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Live from the red carpet of Fast 10 in Rome, with the caption, Jesus, they're coked out of their fucking gourds. It's Pugmane, M-A-N-E. Please enjoy Vin Diesel And Tyrese Gibson Fast 10 Is this going to be the biggest and best one yet? It's going to be the biggest
Starting point is 00:42:34 And best one yet And in so many ways it's going to be the biggest and best one yet In some ways It's just the fact that we're continuing In some ways the fact that we're continuing A saga and we have incredible talent like Tyrese Gibson that live and breathe the role of Roman and because of Roman we decided to do our premiere in Rome get it Rome Roman it's all because of Roman beers! We're gonna go to Rome! I got an idea, I got an idea!
Starting point is 00:43:05 Went through the world premiere at Rome! Rome! See what happens when they get together? The decisions being made in rooms that I'm not in. Give me a hug, man. I love you, man. You too, Roman. I love you.
Starting point is 00:43:13 They're brothers. I love you. That's all you need to know. I'm sorry to interrupt you. Well, we're all part of the same miracle. We're all part of the same miracle. We're heading to Rome. We're all part of the same miracle.
Starting point is 00:43:21 Maybe we should go to Rome. Maybe we should go to Rome. Maybe we should go to Rome. Maybe we should go to Rome. Maybe we should go to Rome. Maybe we should go to Rome. Maybe we should go to Rome. Maybe all you need to know. I'm sorry to interrupt you. Well, we're all part of the same miracle. We're all part of the same miracle. We're heading to Rome. We're all part of the same miracle. Man, legalize all drugs.
Starting point is 00:43:31 The first comment underneath this, don't accuse Vin. Because when I watched it, I assumed they were both on MDMA, but I think Tyrese is on MDMA and Vin's on coke and I applaud both of them they've earned it they've got the weight of the big old franchise
Starting point is 00:43:50 on their shoulders especially Vin whatever Tyrese is on looks quality what you do not hear in that video is him in the background waving his arms
Starting point is 00:43:59 through time and space as though he can literally feel the particles god damn he's also like literally draped around Vin Diesel, hugging him for the first 20 seconds. That's so nice.
Starting point is 00:44:09 It is nice. Just dudes hanging out a little bit, chemically enhanced, just like celebrating a success, having a wonderful time together. I'm here for it in a big way. Why wouldn't you be? I think it's really cool.
Starting point is 00:44:22 And I hope no one gets in trouble for it. No one's getting in trouble for that. No, I hope not. Well, apart from getting the illegal drug to you. All of Hollywood is on coke the whole time, and it's something we don't talk about enough when we talk about crazy celebrities. I think you're right, man.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Every time any celebrity does something crazy in the news, it's like they're all on cocaine. Cocaine is prevalent enough in, small shitty versions of the industry that, you know, that we see. Yeah. Like, how much must they have when they have infinite money and connections? Like, every time, obviously, the guy has, like, mental health problems as well. But, like, every time you see Kanye West, like, do his crazy thing, they're like, wow, this this guy's nuts. Like this guy's on a lot of cocaine all the time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:10 And that's, I find that frustrating because it's like, you know, all the wrong people get in trouble for it. And then there's all these other people who are just like on it all the time. Scott free, no problem. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:19 And that's why it's important for us to celebrate drugs because, you know, if it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander. So. Legalize everything. Is that you goose, it's good for the gander. Legalize everything. Is that you, Tim? Here's my shining light.
Starting point is 00:45:33 It is Mr. Nobody, portrayed by the legendary Kurt Russell, when he first meets Dominic Toretto, who has been taking on the state single-handedly. They call him Kurt Russell, but I think he's got quite an easygoing manner. Thanks, mate. It is with a Russell, but I think he's got quite an easygoing manner. Thanks, mate. It is with a K. I was about eight seconds after that being a worthy contribution, but I had to get it out.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Hey, you want to know something? It was funny, and I enjoyed it. Back yourself. That's so nice. So Dom and Mr. Nobody have met for the first time Because Mr. Nobody's men have just parachuted in to actually save Dom's ass Because he's about to get killed by Stace Because Stace pulls out a gun at a knife fight
Starting point is 00:46:13 You want evidence that Dominic Toretto isn't sleeping on those flights between countries? The fact that his battle strategy when he comes across Jason Statham Is to drive his car at full speed directly That was Stace's plan too, though. Deckard Shaw did the exact same thing. Two guys that know how to fight. Yeah, it's true. So anyway, all of this craziness happens.
Starting point is 00:46:33 Deckard Shaw runs away in the chaos and Dom doesn't know who these fucking guys are. So he like kind of takes out a couple guys real quick, smart, grabs another as a hostage because there's a lot of guns floating around of people he doesn't know. uh and and and then mr nobody comes out cool as all hell with sunglasses on in a subterranean environment with no natural light and says hey dom uh think you can let my guy go he's he's beginning to turn a little blue and it's just like the the cadence
Starting point is 00:47:03 the delivery the confidence the swagger the Kurt Russell-ness of the delivery they should call him Willie Loman because that man can sell anything I don't know who
Starting point is 00:47:12 Willie Loman is he's the salesman he's one of the great American tragic figures oh from Death of a Salesman oh okay wow I've seen that live and I didn't even
Starting point is 00:47:20 quit to that Circa Theatre I think I saw it overseas somewhere oh okay because I'm a cultured man Who remembers nothing You haven't seen Death of a Salesman
Starting point is 00:47:29 Until you've seen it mounted in Hobart, Tasmania Anyway, that rocked Shining light from you It's a shame to say goodbye to this movie I'm very excited for the next chapter in our journey But there were two shining lights One of them I said out loud To you guys guys i can't actually remember exactly what the moment was but the other one i wrote down which is vin diesel's line when he's talking to that young texan boy uh in tokyo and a
Starting point is 00:47:57 part of the space i'm continuing i don't understand but he says what are you going to do when you find the guy who did this and vin diesel says words ain't even been invented yet and i just think i think they have i just think maybe you don't know them i think maybe you don't have access to the words yet i was just i don't think like i think whatever you do no matter how creative there was a way to and what does he do to him? Sends him to prison. An incredibly orthodox way of dealing with a criminal. The word jail doesn't quite encompass where I want to put this man. I want to put him in a room with bars,
Starting point is 00:48:40 and there ain't no word for that. I know there is one spelling that begins with a G, but that doesn't please me. I want a new modernized spelling of that word. With a J, so it's worth more in Scrabble. Speaking of Js, Joseph Moore, do you have a shining light? Shining light, I think it's nice to be reminded of what I think is the best butt movie in the franchise. Oh, is it the best butt woman?
Starting point is 00:49:05 Yes. One of the funniest things from this season, I'm sorry to interrupt, was you saying butt woman and Guy saying we just call them women now. Have I talked about the butts before? A little bit. Oh, fuck, I'm sorry. I sound like a real creep. No, because we don't know sort of the, like,
Starting point is 00:49:26 cultural pillar that they occupy within this franchise. And you are well-versed in the butt woman. And not to be, you know, not to be a creepazoid, but they're just, they're, like, they're prominent butts. Yeah, yeah. I've noticed them a lot more since you pointed them out. This movie, the butts are on. And also because I feel like they might be.
Starting point is 00:49:44 John Cena's introduction introduced a little bit of a butt gentleman. Well, I wonder if they've turned the volume down on the butts as society has perhaps moved forward. We haven't seen Fast X. Yes, absolutely. No, I can't remember too prominent a butt in Fast X. Yeah, so just great to see the butts. Is that your shining light, though? No, my shining light. Because that is a creep thing, too. Yeah, yeah just great, great to be, great to see the butts.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Is that your shining light though? No, my shining light. Because that is a creep thing too. Yeah, yeah, no, no,
Starting point is 00:50:09 no, no, no, no, I just wanted to shout out the butts. Okay. And, and the butt women,
Starting point is 00:50:14 Jesus Christ. The, those butt women better get, get up in the stirrups. Find out who the babies are. Some of those butt women are about to become butt moms Fuck Do you think the baby's growing in the butt?
Starting point is 00:50:33 That's why they're so big The shining light One cheek's got the skull pressed up against it And the other one's got the baby's butt pressed up against it Someone get these butt women to a gynecologist. I think they might be a little pregnant. The highlight for me is the music choice during the pipe and wrench fight.
Starting point is 00:50:55 Oh, the classical. Oh, yeah. The O Fortuna diet. Yeah, the score, I think it's Brian Tyler or someone of his ilk. it's it's kind of it's fine it's it's not too flashy the whole movie it's kind of pulsing strings yeah kind of some electronica beats just synthy yeah yeah um but they're just for a moment they have a full choir yeah um as two guys probably do one of the least epic things in the film which is
Starting point is 00:51:26 whack each other with pipes um look it's shot epic but like in terms of the content okay you know i've just i've just remembered my other shining light i have to say quickly before we continue talking about the wrench fight it's the shot of brian it's when brian's fighting the guy whose name you know no it's his parkour his parkour yeah, and there's a shot of Brian at the bottom of a stairwell and the camera does this sort of like almost anime style zoom out where it's like you see the, crash zoom out
Starting point is 00:51:52 and it comes out and you see that he's at the bottom of the stairwell and it's, I haven't spoken about it but I really like it. It's a real comedy camera move to do the crash zoom.
Starting point is 00:51:59 I think the thing, they usually go in rather than out. The thing with the wrenches that makes it interesting is that they've shown that they can do anything. And it's like Jason Statham's basically married to explosive device in this movie. And then in his most important, significant fight.
Starting point is 00:52:13 But this is the whole, that's why that fight works so well. Because in the first one, he pulled out a gun, effectively a knife fight. And this time, he has come to respect Dom Toretto as an equal and will fight him on his terms. There you go. This is the growth. So maybe it doesn't, sure.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Whether or not it earns the musical cue, the musical cue. Enhanced. Just, just comes out of nowhere. And I love it. It is really good and noticeable. And I always thought it was a bonafide classical piece.
Starting point is 00:52:41 It is like that. It maybe, it maybe is. It's definitely the, or something it's definitely maybe a kind of a moment in the franchise where the franchise knows that it's on a par with like marvel or whatever like this is a cultural moment this isn't just the kind of cool fun um car chase series like this is this is a life or death thing this is demigods fighting
Starting point is 00:53:08 yeah yeah the fate of good versus evil because you know they are they are superheroes essentially yeah at this point there when do you think that happened joe in the franchise that they became superheroes or superhuman seven seven is when they kind of six is when they defy death Probably Too hard Too hard Okay And seven is when They kind of Become invincible
Starting point is 00:53:30 Jason Statham gets crushed By a car park building And then shows up One month later In F8 Good point And The Rock says Somebody tell me
Starting point is 00:53:38 Why this Tea drinking Crumpled eating Sambitch Is doing in my movie I think we should all improvise a line of dialogue that The Rock might say
Starting point is 00:53:47 in a Fast and Furious universe and then we'll get out of here I think he'd say something like this someone please explain to me what all of these people actually I've lost confidence I don't know if we need to do the voice
Starting point is 00:54:00 who we need to pick and we can't this is on us to be sensitive we need to pick a culture that the person he on us to be sensitive we need to pick a culture that the person he doesn't like is from yeah very good yeah okay why so he says this it says someone explained to me why this kangaroo bouncing koala munching eucalyptus gum motherfuckers doing in my country the bar's too high guy. Give me a culture. Preferably white. Scottish.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Scottish, you're right. Well, can someone get a pig over here and take the liver outside of the pig and fill it with some meat or notes? Because I got a haggis eating some bitch right in front of me. Do Canada term. I don't know why this maple leaf, weed-smoking, sorry-utterin' son of a bitch is in my face. That's right. There we go. You better take that Canadian wristwatch off your hand and put it inside of a pawn shop

Yeah, yeah. You got watches for eyes and eyes for teeth, boy. By the time I'm finished with you. Consider this our audition tape to do Punch Up on Fast X Part Deux. Yeah.
