2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast

After six seasons (spanning just over two calendar years), we've finally reached the end of the Spy Racers road with Fast & Furious Spy Racers: Homecoming (Season 6). We welcomed in our Spy Racers correspondents, Kevo Risse and Nico Vasilo, to talk about our final thoughts on both this season and the show as a whole. We discuss flaws we uncovered only in its final season, share a genuinely sad far...

We're remembering everything about our fathers as we head back to Brazil to talk about Fast Five for the tenth time! After Joe (finally) concedes something related to Whataburger is good, we head to the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (26:30) to fondly remember Mountain Dew Code Red. Then, Kurt Tommy (Pajiba) joins us to talk about Fast Five (35:30). After wondering how the Shaws and Baby Brian escape the...

We're continuing Christmas with the Cranks by welcoming back "fan favorite" Garrett Smith to talk about Crank: High Voltage! We compare it to the first Crank movie, as well as other sequels in other franchises. We also get into the whole Bai Ling of it all, the Kaiju fight, and what, exactly, is going on with David Carradine. We also talk about Jason Statham's portrayal of a video game character,...

We're celebrating "Christmas with the Cranks" with (no additional modifiers) fan favorite Garrett Smith this week, and we're kicking things off with the original Crank! After chatting about the MCU and Mike Flanagan stuff for a while, we make a strong pitch for the Patreon and what to watch between now and New Year's Eve, including the (delightful) Young Rock holiday special. Then, we're hunting f...

We're hitting the tunnels once again to talk about Fast & Furious with Dan Colon of The Monsters That Made Us! After cracking open a really big mailbag (thank you!), we find ourselves (once again) at Carter Verone's house in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (34:40) and imagine a bit of kink. Then, we try to separate Campos from Braga as we break down Fast & Furious (45:30). We talk about watching multi...

We’re celebrating the holiday season with Collateral Beauty, a movie that’s so crazy and unique that it must be seen to be believed. After giving an update on our Turbos for Tots donations, we finally (hopefully) spend our final minute at Carter Verone’s house in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (18:05). Then, we welcome in Alonso Duralde (Linoleum Knife, I’ll Be Home for Christmas Movies) to talk all...

We’re headed back to Miami (“the city with buckets of rats!”) to talk about 2 Fast 2 Furious with Brendan Klinkenberg! After dropping some bombshell Spy Racers news (and realizing how similar it is in many ways to Tom Holland’s Spider-Man movies), we head back to Carter Verone’s house to toss some cigars around in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (22:35). Then, we’re joined by Brendan (32:35) to find o...

We've hit our first pit stop and talking about one of the greatest Kung Fu movies of all-time: The 36th Chamber of Shaolin! After talking about Ghostbusters (new and old) and Halo controls (new and old), we head into the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (20:45) to spend more time talking about papayas than you'd think. Then, we officially "enter the 36 Chambers" with The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (31:15) to...

We're kicking off Lap 10 by welcoming in Richard "Benno" Benson (GRAPPL, British Wrestling Experience) to talk about The Fast and the Furious! After chatting about Forza Horizon 5, we kick off our annual "Turbos for Tots" initiative and talk about Red Notice's popularity before finding out some "Brian facts" (and realizing our brains are both broken in the same way) in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute...

We're saying goodbye to Lap 9 (our modern car movies lap, aka "the lap where we watched F9 a whole bunch) and welcoming in Lap 10 in our mechanic-prescribed Lap 9 Tune-Up (Recap/Relap)! After we talk about Eternals, we do a comprehensive breakdown of Vin Diesel's post on Instagram directed squarely at Dwayne Johnson and talk all about the new video game Fast & Furious: Spy Racers Rise Of SH1FT3R i...

Red Notice, now on Netflix, stars Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot. How can we not cover what is, kind of sort of, a Hobbs & Shaw prequel?! In this episode, we talk about the many Fastnections, the many double-crosses, and when this movie could slot in, time-wise, into the Fastiverse. We also discuss watching a movie that delivers exactly what you think it's going to and try to get to...

We're unofficially closing out Lap 9 by talking about F9 (once again) with Mary Jo Pehl (Mystery Science Theater, Rifftrax)! Before Mary Jo joins us, we talk about new movies and Halloween candy before trying to decode The Rock's idea for a Hobbs & Shaw sequel. Then, we take an incredibly deep dive into Roman's history in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (24:15) as we examine lots of text that appears...

We're robbing a bank and then speeding away (all scored to the exactly right songs) as we talk about Edgar Wright's musical motor masterpiece Baby Driver! After talking a few more horror movies, we head into the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (18:30) as Joe does some deep detective work on some Charlie Brown-looking Christmas trees on the side of a Floridian highway. Then, we drop the needle on Baby Driv...

We're three apex predators cooped up in the sky on the way to Samoa to talk about Hobbs & Shaw (once again)! After a roundup of Pittsburgh events and horror movies (as well as a breakdown of what T.O.R.E.T.T.O. could stand for), we head (again) to Alligator Alley for some bumper car action in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (29:55). Then, we're joined by Tori Sheehan (X is for Podcast, @charqtori) to...

We're shakin' and bakin' on the racetrack today as Brian Rodriguez (High School Slumber Party) joins us for Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby! Before Brian hops in his racecar (from vacation), we talk about horror movies and spotted lanternflies before continuing to race down Alligator Alley in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (29:50). Then, we hit the speedway to talk all about Talladega Nig...

We're hopping aboard a nuclear submarine and bringing High School Slumber Party's Brian Rodriguez with us as we talk about The Fate of the Furious! After Joe talks about a possible ghost hotel (spoiler: it's not) and Joey whines about AMC Theaters, we race down Alligator Alley in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (20:40) before tackling the Cuban Mile in the Fate of the Furious (40:20). We discuss wheth...

Redline has a bit of a reputation. Patron Alex Elonen picked it for us to watch this lap, so we're diving deep into its wild backstory. After opening a full mailbox (thank you, everyone!), we finally hear from Carter Verone in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (31:50) before fearing nothing and risking everything in Redline (44:45). The movie is bad, and there's no way around it. But the backstory? Trem...

We're getting closer and closer to "catching up" to F9, and our latest stop is Deckard Shaw's roaring rampage of revenge in Furious 7! After catching up in extracurricular activites, we meet Fonzie and Fabio in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (17:45) before squaring off with Shaw once again. Joining us to talk about Furious 7 is Drea Clark (Maximum Film!), who -- unlike many of our recent, less sophis...

We're hitting the salvage yard -- and then the NASCAR track -- to talk about Lindsay Lohan in Herbie Fully Loaded! Before we get to Michael McGahon's patron pick, though, we catch up on extracurricular activities (which are very Y: The Last Man heavy) and then do the stare and drive in the 2F2F minute (21:30), where we discover a similarity (of sorts) between Brian O'Conner and Frank Costanza. The...

We welcome back Fast & Furious superfan Heather Antos to talk about F9 -- and this time, we're watching the Director's Cut! Before Heather joins us, though, we catch up on the past week and imagine a viable alternative to the Han and Gisele trilogy we are going to continue to attempt to will into existence. Then, we do a deep dive into the F9 Director's Cut (22:15): what's new, what's (maybe) new,...

We're headed back to the streets of Tokyo -- this time with Aaron Neuwirth (Out Now with Aaron and Abe, We Live Entertainment) -- to figure out where Elle, Jakob, and Mr. Nobody were during The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift! We talk about the Dreamcast, Back to the Future, and Possession (1981), preview the F9 director's cut (and rumored F10 title), and watch Monica Fuentes roll up in a delive...

We're heading Down Under -- and then out to the Bonneville Salt Flats -- to talk about The World's Fastest Indian! Before we get to the movie that Hayley Gerbes picked for us on Patreon, we talk about the characters or actors who could join the franchise in F10 and watch a deleted scene from F9 before heading to Miami and getting answers to our geography questions in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (2...

There's a new season of Spy Racers on Netflix, so we're coming at you with a bonus episode to talk all about Fast & Furious Spy Racers: South Pacific! Joining us are our core Spy Racers correspondents, Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse, to talk about the highs and lows of the show's fifth season, which may have been the show's best yet! Or was it? Either way, it's definitely more referential of previous...

We're returning to orbit once again to talk about F9 (for the fourth time) with Kevo Risse and Nico Vasilo of Husbands Talking More or Less! Before they join us, we talk about new dishwashers and new movies, the release date for F10, and the special features coming to the F9 Blu-ray disc (plus more details in the back half!) before spending our (thankfully) final minute in the demolition derby par...

We're taking a brief break between episodes about F9 to talk about Fast & Furious 6 with Dan Scully (I Like to Movie Movie)! Before Dan joins us, we share extracurricular activities as Joey's audio is peppered with a thunderstorm, talk about Michael Rooker's character, and watch Brian and Roman scrap in the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (20:00). Then, Dan swings by to talk about (spoiler!) his favorite...
