2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast

Turbo marks the kick-off of Animation Week on 2 Fast 2 Forever, and it's surprisingly appropriate in more ways than one! Before we head to the Indianapolis 500, though, we open a week-long mailbag and work our way through six minutes of credits in the Fast and Furious minute. Then, we get animated (so sorry) to talk about Turbo and all of its fastnections. We also talk about how we wish there was...

The Fast & Furious franchise spans 20 years, 10 films, 2 short films, an animated series, 16 soundtracks, a worldwide stunt show tour, 7 videogames, several toy lines, and even a theme park attraction. Throughout the franchise (10th highest grossing film franchise to date), the face of culture (and film!) changed -- beginning with a movie with barely any female characters with agency, featuring st...

We're nearing the end of the lap -- or are we? -- and we're headed to The Fate of the Furious, which metaphorically begins with one of our guests and ends with the other. Before we turn our backs against the family, though, we bid farewell (sort of) to the original movie as we (kind of) wrap up the first installment of The Fast and the Furious Minute. Then, we welcome in Kevo Risse and Nico Vasilo...

We're preparing for space (hopefully!) as we close out Robert Rodriguez Week-and-a-Half with Machete Kills! After catching up on ways we've tried to stay sane this week -- and preparing to hand over our keys to Dominic Toretto in the Fast & Furious Minute -- we welcome back Mike Manzi (Third Time's A Charm) to talk about the cameo-palooza of Machete Kills. We wonder whether this was the movie Robe...

Robert Rodriguez Week-and-a-Half continues on 2 Fast 2 Forever with Machete! Before entering the grindhouse, though, we catch up about Vin Diesel's new song, open a mailbag, and finally finish a quarter-mile race that seems to drag (no pun intended) on forever. (Also, a programming note in the intro, too!) Then, we're joined by Mike Manzi (The Monsters That Made Us) as we're set up, double-crossed...

We're gathering the #AlitaArmy and kicking off Robert Rodriguez Week (and a Half) to talk about 2019's Alita: Battle Angel! First up, we discuss our New York Comic-Con (#NYCC) panel, get a new listener's movie rankings, and talk about Borat. Then, we wrap up Season 2 of LOST before spending an entire minute in a quarter-mile race. We then jump far into the future to talk about Alita: Battle Angel,...

We're doubling down (a new phrase we've adopted) to talk about Furious 7 for the seventh time, this time with Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse of .html! First things first, though, we cover some spooky movies, decidedly un-cheesy pizzas, and LOST statues with four toes. Then, on green, we go to Furious 7 to talk all about the interconnectedness of LOST, Star Wars, and the Fastiverse when it comes to adj...

Whether it's the third, fourth, or sixth movie in its franchise, today's episode is all about Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning. Well, it's all about Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning after talking about twenty-year-old seasons of The Amazing Race, opening our mailbag, heading to the LOST island to meet the Others, and checking Johnny Tran's pulse. Then, we're waking up with amnesia (and with...

We're headed back to Rio (...again), but this time with Nico and Kevo on-board as we talk about Fast & Furious Spy Racers: Rio! Before we head to South America, we talk about a tricky "would you rather?" scenario and open the future of the show (well, one segment, anyway) to the fans before hanging out with Ghost Ana for a minute and then watching Dom drift tap Lance down a hill. Then, Nico and Ke...

We're continuing our Spy Racers mini-series with our first of back-to-back episodes about Fast & Furious Spy Racers: Rio! First, though, we talk about important Spelunky 2 updates, open a stuffed mailbag, and watch Brian chase after Johnny Tran and Lance. (We also, you know, talk about a pretty important episode of LOST.) Then, we dive into Fast & Furious Spy Racers: Rio to talk about whether it e...

We're kicking off a mini-run of three straight Fast & Furious Spy Racers episodes by revisiting the first season with Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse of .html! First, though, we welcome a new patron to the #family (one who's been ride or die for as long as we've known her), check in on Rose and Bernard on the Island, and pour one out for Jesse (#gonetoosoon). Then, Nico and Kevo join us to talk about t...

We're wrapping up Weepy, Wacky Romance Week in our memory loss lap with a return to #MagicMics for the Channing Tatum/Rachel McAdams movie The Vow. First, though, we head back to the island for a Hurley episode of LOST, then find ourselves nearly overwhelmed by the amount that happens in the Fast and Furious Minute #91. Then, we head west (well, east from Los Angeles) for The Vow to talk about how...

We're kicking off Weepy, Wacky Romance Week with the Lifetime Original film (please, don't call it a movie) The Wives He Forgot! After getting stuck in a "Lockdown" on LOST and wordlessly saying goodbye to the friends we thought we had in the F&F Minute, we're headed to the courtroom for Molly Ringwald's emergence as a criminal defense lawyer in The Wives He Forgot. We welcome in Brian "Mr. High S...

We're doing things a bit differently this episode as one of our patrons, Christian Larson, picked three Michelle Rodriguez music videos for us to discuss! After opening up a quick mailbag and talking about Spelunky 2 and Bomb the Music Industry!, we take a double dip of LOST and wonder what Brian means when he says he's in the MAPD. Then, we take a trip through time to talk about three music video...

The Missing Pieces Lap continues as we go back in time to move the chronological narrative forward with The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift! After catching up with the mailbag, we take a deep dive into the deleted scenes for Tokyo Drift, which cover more time than every other deleted scene we've covered so far... combined! Then, we welcome back Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse of .html to talk about T...

We've heard tales of the badassery of Chris Sanchez before, but it's time to meet the legend as we watch Michelle Rodriguez in S.W.A.T.! We kick things off by talking about counting quarters and Spelunky 2, then head to the LOST island to meet a new person (!!!) before pulling off to the side of the road to give Vince some medical attention. Then, we're headed back to the streets of Los Angeles to...

We're headed back to school (for the first time?) for Milton's Secret, and a type of role and a character that we've never before seen from Michelle Rodriguez. After talking about some pretty big Fast & Furious news, we witness a transfer of power on the LOST island and finally free Vince from the truck he's been dangling on for, seemingly, weeks now. Then, we're headed to the Great White North (C...

Grab your SQUID because we're headed back in time... to the future... to talk about Kathryn Bigelow's criminally underseen Strange Days! After opening emails about shower thoughts and Lucifer, we're invited to a baptism (by fire?!) and speeding by Leon helping Letty out of her wrecked car. Then, we're trying to recapture lost loves and save some lives in Strange Days. We talk about the twist on th...

We welcome the return of Michelle Rodriguez -- even if she can't remember who she or the family are -- as well as the return of Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse as guests for our next stop at Fast & Furious 6! After discussing the seeming reality that the family is headed to space in #F9 and dissecting the three deleted scenes that accompany Fast & Furious 6, we're joined by Nico and Kevo to dive deep i...

We're finishing up Resident Evil Week on #2F2F strong with Resident Evil: Retribution, as we're joined (once again) by Cara Gael O'Regan! First, though, we're opening an HVAC-themed mailbag, meeting the Others, and helping Letty after her car flips. Then, Cara joins us to talk about cloned versions of Michelle Rodriguez (including the third version that was cut), the way one of her clones plays di...

We're headed back to the beginning of Michelle Rodriguez's film career once more for her nearly-starring role in 2002's Resident Evil! After opening the mailbag, heading to the LOST island for an episode with very little Ana, and watching Vince flail about for a minute, we board a train en route to Umbrella Corp. HQ -- picking up fan favorite Cara Gael O'Regan along the way -- to talk about Nick B...

Today's pit stop brings us all the way back to Michelle Rodriguez's first movie: Karyn Kusama's 2000 boxing flick Girlfight! After checking the mail (and talking about pizza for a while), visiting the island for a mostly-Letty-free episode of LOST (to admire Jin's abs and talk about a three-way that just has to happen already), and struggling to rescue Vince from the front of the truck he's dangli...

We're headed back to Rio with Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse (.html) in our crew for Fast Five! But first, we're catching up emails, F&F news (which leads us down a deep rabbit hole), and Fast Five deleted scenes. In this episode, we talk about Fast Five's "R1 Moment," the power of the Justice Crush (especially compared to the Furious Force), and the Clutch Letty Moment. We also talk about Rico and Te...

We're tapping into a bit of our Fast & Furious origins (in a few different ways) for Blue Crush, the latest pit stop in the Michelle Rodriguez lap! First, though, we're talking about pivotal installments for LOST (our first Ana Lucia episode!) and the Fast & Furious Minute (it's go time!). Then, we're headed to Hawaii for Blue Crush to talk about whether or not the "pro QB" lives up to his title,...

We're taking a pit stop from our pit stop, as we're joined by the Budget Boyz -- Kevin Fairy and Kent Yoshimura -- to talk about their new viral video: Fast & Furious (on a Budget)! We talk to them about their history with the franchise, where the idea to recreate Fast & Furious came from, what they may be working on next, and a whole lot more. We also find out which Fast & Furious characters they...
