2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast

We're closing out our Tokyo Drift Lap and saying goodbye to Heather Antos in our mechanic-prescribed Lap 8 Tune-Up / Relap / Recap. Before we wind down Lap 8, we talk about the end of the NHL season, race through another 60 seconds in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute, and wonder if we experience seasons in the Fastiverse. Then, we look back at Lap 8 -- the highs, the lows, and our interview with the am...

Kill Bill: Vol. 2 closes out both our Kill Bill Week and our Tokyo Drift Lap as we're hitting you with a bonus episode! There's no intro segment here, so we dive right into the behind-the-scenes trivia of Kill Bill: Vol. 2, the film's cool moments, and how it stacks up to the first one. We also wonder why The Bride's name reveal is played to be such a big "thing" before finding another person on L...

We're closing out our Tokyo Drift lap by seeing how Quentin Tarantino remixes all the influences we've covered this lap in Kill Bill: Vol. 1! Before we fly to Okinawa (one way), we talk about the NFL Draft and the end of the first season of Young Rock, then race our way through Minute 9 of the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute. Then, we're off to Japan to get Hattori Hanzo steel and talk about the coolest m...

We've thought for a while that Hobbs & Shaw may be our lap-long guest Heather Antos's favorite Fast and Furious movie. Were we right? Find out in this episode! But before Heather joins us, we participate in some Oscars roundup, dance our way around the newest episode of Young Rock, and have our most exciting minute yet for 2 Fast 2 Furious. Then, we welcome in Heather to talk about Hobbs & Shaw, b...

We've got a bonus episode this week, as Fast & Furious Spy Racers: Mexico recently hit Netflix, and we're here to talk all about it! We welcome in our Spy Racers experts, Nico Vasilo (X is for Podcast) and Kevo Risse (Husbands Talking, More or Less) to wonder... why isn't Spy Racers getting weird with things? Nico makes things TV-MA in a hurry and talks a lot about The Simpsons, while Kevo, our ne...

Shogun Assassin kicks off a three episode, three location crossover between us and "Resident Historian" Mike Manzi of Third Time's A Charm! Before Mike joins us, Joe catches us up on some more Best Picture nominees, we open the biggest and most sprawling mailbag we've ever had, and we collect the buy-in for 2 Fast 2 Furious's first race in The Fast and Furious Minute. Then, Mike hops in our baby c...

#F9 is coming, but before we get there, we're once again hitting NYC (via Cuba) to talk about The Fate of the Furious with Heather Antos! First, we dive into the #F9 trailer -- but only to a certain extent, to keep things spoiler-free -- and hear your reactions in the mailbag. We talk about Dewey and Karen in Young Rock's "My Baby Only Drinks the Good Stuff," and "kick it a nickel" in the sixth mi...

Brian "Slumber Party" Rodriguez is back on the podcast to sneak in another movie, this one starring "The Pride of Pittsburgh," Michael Keaton: Gung Ho! Before Brian joins, though... Joe re-arranges his living room, Johnson teams up with Hopkins for some action movie hijinks in Young Rock, and (the other) Brian arrives to the race in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute. Then, we're off to Japan (and back a...

We're burning down hospitals and flexing off arm casts as we seek vengeance with Heather Antos as we talk about Furious 7! Before she joins us, we catch up on extracurricular activities and two episodes of Young Rock, and we break down the fourth minute of 2 Fast 2 Furious and try to decipher the role rappers (and actors, and rappers who act) play in the Fastiverse (and whether or not there's some...

We're taking a fun detour this week as we enroll in community college and talk about Justin Lin's three episodes of Community. Before class begins, though, we talk about Temptation Island and Zack Snyder's Justice League, and then open the mailbag to remember some fire ass titles. Then, we're headed to Greendale to talk about "Introduction to Statistics," "Interpretive Dance," and "Modern Warfare....

Shocking reactions! New favorites! Even more Chrissy Teigen?! Our eighth lap through the franchise has led to The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, and Heather Antos is here with some fiery hot takes. Before we needle drop DJ Shadow, though, we catch up on Extracurricular Activities, check in where Montez is in her catch-up, and meet Tej in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute. Then, we fly across the Pac...

The next stop in our Tokyo Drift Lap is Lady Snowblood, with a bonus Patreon-only pit stop for its sequel coming soon! Before heading to Japan for Yuki's roaring rampage of revenge, we spend some time trying to figure out The Voice and finally (!) begin the Fast and Furious Minute about 2 Fast 2 Furious, as soundtracked by David Banner. Then, we dive into Lady Snowblood as we see the many ways it...

We're once again "citizens of the world" as we return to London, baby, to talk about Fast & Furious 6 with Heather Antos! Before we clash with Owen Shaw (the almost-always-a-bad-guy Luke Evans), we catch up on Young Rock, open the mailbag, and finish out the Turbo Charged Prelude in the Fast & Furious Minute. (2 Fast 2 Furious kicks off next episode!) Then, we welcome in Heather to find out her fa...

Anyone who knows #2F2F knows the handful of questions to which we desperately need answers, and we welcome the amazing Lynda Boyd to the show to help us solve one! In this episode, we chat with Lynda about her audition process for Tokyo Drift, the time she spent in Japan, and the possibility of a cursed past life as a geisha. We talk about her time on The X-Files, She's the Man, and Supernatural,...

Game of Death could have been a stone-cold classic and one of the best films of all-time. It is not. In this episode, we dig into why. Before we enter the pagoda, though, we chat about Eastbound and Down, MLB Showdown, and Young Rock, and we break down the penultimate minute in the Turbo Charged Prelude. Then, we dive deep into Game of Death to learn more about the behind-the-scenes tragedy, insan...

We're continuing the Tokyo Drift Lap with special guest Heather Antos as we find our way to Brazil in time to watch Fast Five! Before we welcome her to the show, though, we kick things off with two new ideas about who the mysterious Eteon voice could be, we talk about the first episode of Young Rock, and we break down the fourth minute of the Turbo Charge Prelude, where nothing is (still) happenin...

Like a Kaneda tai Tetsuo, Neo Tokyo metsubou? We're finally fulfilling the prophecy (?) laid out in the Teriyaki Boyz song from Tokyo Drift by heading to Neo Tokyo to watch Akira! Before we get there, though, we break down another minute of the Turbo Charged Prelude and dive deep into the 30-second commercial for #F9 shared on Super Bowl Sunday. Then, we talk about the post-apocalyptic landscape o...

We're correcting the timeline and jumping forward in time as we return to Los Bandoleros and Fast & Furious! Before welcoming in Heather Antos to talk about all things Letty, Gisele, and Dwight, we tease a new Patreon-exclusive episode, break down the fight (or lack thereof) between Vin Diesel and The Rock, and journey across the American Southwest (or do we just stay in California?) for the secon...

While the release date fate of #F9 remains in limbo, the Tokyo Drift lap marches on with the appropriately-named Tokyo Drifter! Before we tussle with the yakuza, we catch up on the mailbag and begin our minute-by-minute breakdown of the Turbo Charged Prelude to 2 Fast 2 Furious, which yields far more detail than you may think. Then, we welcome back our new resident yakuza expert, Garrett Smith (I...

We're zipping across the country on a turbo-charged prelude and meeting up with Heather Antos in Miami to talk about 2 Fast 2 Furious! Before we get there, though, we talk about vaccinations, TV updates, and murder mysteries in a box. We also open a great mailbag, welcome a new listener, and break down the second trailer for The Fast and the Furious (in The Best Quality). Then, we welcome in Heath...

At long last, we've made it to Better Luck Tomorrow: a movie we've likely talked about more than any other we haven't covered. Han, here we are! Before diving into Justin Lin's breakthrough film, we talk about Vin Diesel's interview with Entertainment Weekly and break down the first theatrical trailer of The Fast and the Furious in The Fast and the Furious Minute. Then, we welcome in Brian Rodrigu...

We're kicking off Lap 8, the Tokyo Drift Lap, by returning to The Fast and the Furious! Joining us, as she will all lap, is Heather Antos. Before we dive into the movie, though, we catch up on extracurricular activities and then cover the final (?) deleted scene from the first movie, where we talk about Dom's intimidating demeanor, Mia's dropped student storyline, and Brian's half-truths. Then, we...

The longest lap in #2F2F history comes to a close as we welcome back Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse to talk about Fast & Furious Spy Racers: Sahara! First, though, Joe shares some ASMR recommendations and Joey unveils his new TV watching plan for 2021, then they dive into Vince's almost-but-never-was backstory of having a sick mother. Then, we race back into the desert, joined by Nico and Kevo, to tal...

Santa left one extra gift tucked way under the Christmas tree last year: a brand new season of Fast & Furious Spy Racers: Sahara! Before we dive into the latest installment in the Spy Racers series, we catch up on New Year's stuff and talk about the sound effects coming out of Vin Diesel's mouth in a deleted scene (as well as totally forgetting we'd seen part of Jesse's wardrobe before). Then, we...

Our final pit stop of our Memory Loss lap is a bit of a "masterclass" in the genre: Adrian Lyne's 1990 film Jacob's Ladder! Before we enter our very own "Jacob's Ladder scenario," we usher in 2021 with extracurricular activities and our mailbag. Then, we head to 1327 as Mia's packing and prepping to sell the house as we discuss a deleted scene that would have changed the fabric of the franchise. A...
