2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast

While the pandemic may have pushed Fast 9 to next year, diehard Fast & Furious fans were given the gift of more canonical content with Fast & Furious Crossroads, the brand new video game from Slightly Mad Studios. We're joined by the game's director, Andy Tudor, to dive deep into the latest Fast & Furious story.  In this episode, we talk about how the team approached existing characters, how they...

Big episode alert! After announcing a slight scheduling change and cracking open the mailbag, we head to the LOST island for an episode full of Ana Lucia, then race over to Coachella to try to stop Dom before it's too late. Then, Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse (X is for Podcast, HTML) join us to talk about Los Bandoleros and Fast & Furious. We hear about Nico's latest realization about the franchise,...

Hop in a Johnny Cab and get your ass to Mars because we're wrapping up Paul Verhoeven week in the Missing Pieces lap by covering Total Recall! First, though, we're doing some bad things on the LOST island and trying to psych ourselves up to pull off one more job in the Fast & Furious Minute. Then, we're clearing up the differences between RoboCop and Total Recall, covering all the dreamlike Fastne...

We're kicking off Paul Verhoeven week on the Missing Pieces lap with RoboCop, which features all sorts of parallels to the Fastiverse. Before we dive in, though, we chat about Fast & Furious Crossroads, open the mailbag, make our way across the island in the LOST episode "... and Found," and convince Mia to give us Dom's cell phone number. (Whew!) Then, we hop in the 6000 SUX and we're forcing...

Dude, where's my car? Where's your car, dude? We're having a really hard time remembering where we parked this week as we take a pit stop on the Missing Pieces lap to cover Dude, Where's My Car? Before we get there, though, we swing by the Tailies' home base in LOST and convince Mia that Dom needs our help. Then, our patron (and past guest and unofficial co-host) Brian Rodriguez (High School Slumb...

We're welcoming back Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse (HTML: Husbands Talking, More or Less) to talk about 2 Fast 2 Furious and the Turbo Charged Prelude. First, though, we're taking a look at the handful of scenes "lifted" from 2 Fast 2 Furious, and how they may have changed the movie. Then, we welcome in Nico and Kevo as they continue to watch these movies for the first time. Get ready to learn about...

Our Missing Pieces lap of disorientation continues with Dark City, a mind-warping sci-fi film from Alex Proyas that's lost in time. Before getting lost in a city of perpetual night that seems to reset itself each time the clock strikes midnight, we're headed back to the island for our first real dose of Ana Lucia in LOST, then confessing to Mia that we're undercover cops in the Fast and Furious Mi...

Don't believe his lies. We may have lost our short-term memories, but we're pretty sure Lap 7 also serves as our Missing Pieces lap, and we've got matching tattoos that say to cover Memento, so here we are. Before we talk about Memento, though, we cover an episode of LOST that Michelle Rodriguez may or may not be in, then make sure everyone knows we never narc'd on nobody. Then, we welcome the ret...

Our first pit stop in our Michelle Rodriguez/Letty Ortiz lap is the star-studded film Widows, her most recent starring role. This episode also marks the kick-off to The Ana Lucia Cortez Leticia Ortiz LOST For a Minute: our episode-by-episode breakdown of Michelle Rodriguez's run on LOST. (As though these episodes needed to be longer, right?) In this episode, we tear open the mailbag, meet Ana Luci...

We're kicking off Lap 7 with new guests, new games, and new questions, but the same first movie: The Fast and the Furious. Before we dive into the movie, though, we open a "top-tier" (in Joe Two parlance) mailbag, unveil the inaugural class of the Fast and Furious / 2 Fast 2 Forever Hall of Fame, then call a bit of an audible and discuss the deleted scenes from The Fast and the Furious, rather tha...

We're closing out Lap 6 by kicking it old school one more time, throwing it way back to 1972 with The Getaway, our second Steve McQueen movie this lap. First, though, we open up a double dose of the mailbag and get absolutely smoked by Johnny Tran at Race Wars. Then, we quickly set up a heist only to see it all go wrong. We compare McQueen and MacGraw to Brian and Mia, assemble the ultimate all-ti...

What will our heroes order for lunch? How will this meeting of the minds turn out? Where does the time go? Find out in this chapter of You Are My Life Span. In this chapter, the role of Brian O'Conner is played by Kyle Reinfried.

We're a mismatched duo who loves arguing as much as we love smashing through things, so you know we're going to enjoy Freebie and the Bean! Before we cover the penultimate movie in the Kickin' it Old School lap, we're taking an Aaron Sorkin-esque walk-and-talk with Jesse en route to his race against Johnny Tran. Then, it's on to Freebie and the Bean as we try to determine which family members most...

We've still got a few more movies to cover this lap, but the time has come for our regularly scheduled Lap 6 Tune-Up / Relap / Recap. After reading emails and winning at Race Wars, we look back at the lap that was as we remember our favorite movies, our favorite guests, and more. Then, we welcome in Nico Vasilo and Kevo Risse -- who will be joining us all lap next lap -- to "get an estimate" on wh...

We're kicking it more old school than we have at any point this lap as we're headed all the way back to 1963 for It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Joining us to talk about this nearly three-and-a-half-hour-long movie is Mr. Ridealong himself, Mike "The Mikestir" Manzi (Third Time's A Charm). Before he joins us, though, we Scrooge McDuck into the mailbag and officially enter Race Wars in our Supra....

Is this your first day on the Death Star? You seem... new. We're jamming ourselves into a McLaren and racing to cover Hobbs & Shaw. First, though, we're headed to Race Wars in the Fast and Furious Minute, which is poised to firmly destroy our record-keeping through its sheer number of cars and extras. Then, we're joined by Garrett Smith (I Like 2 Movie Movie, Cinema76) to talk about Hobbs & Sh...

Our GPS sent us to Chicago on a quick detour this week following a last-minute Patreon suggestion from Justin Kleinman. We just got out of jail and we're getting picked up in a... cop car (?!) and we're ready to talk about The Blues Brothers. First, though, we open up a stuffed mailbag and pick up the tab on our shrimp lunch. Then, we're popping into the Bluesmobile to get the band back together a...

What does Johnny Tran worry about? How will Eli Toretto soothe his woes? Find out in this chapter of You Are My Life Span. In this chapter, the role of Johnny Tran is played by Brian Rodriguez.

We're two days away from retirement -- and wondering if Shane Black ripped this trope for Lethal Weapon -- which means it's the perfect time to talk about To Live and Die in L.A. First, though, we open the mailbag, smoke a Ferrari, and stop off at Neptune's Net for a bite to eat. Then, we dive into William Friedkin's To Live and Die in L.A. to talk about Christmas in the Fastiverse, vengeance as a...

Moving from a monthly, to bi-weekly, to weekly, to the other type of bi-weekly podcast certainly helped us hit the NOS on our release schedule, but after 2.5 years, we've finally hit episode #100! In this episode, we've got segments all over the place, as we first crack open the mailbag, talk about comics for a while, then hit the open road in a car that's more than you can afford, pal, while disc...

We're going eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin' as we cover our second Burt Reynolds/Hal Needham team-up this lap: Smokey and the Bandit! First, though, we talk about a slight format change, open up a full-again mailbag, and ponder some heavy choices in the Fast and Furious Minute. Then, we've got 28 hours to drive 1,800 miles and bring Coors Banquet east of the Mississippi. We're talking a...

Could this be the lap where we unlock the full potential of The Fate of the Furious? We're joined by Brian Silliman (@BrianSilliman) to talk about making deals and living up to them. But first, we wonder if the mailman called in sick, get sent to the principal's office over our decision to take down Johnny Tran, and learn about the surprising -- and surprisingly contentious -- history of Purell. T...

After covering the incredibly fun Midnight Run on Tuesday, we're wrapping up Robert De Niro week with Ronin! While this movie isn't as fun (or as good) as Midnight Run, at least there's one hell of a car chase, giving us good reason to cover it. In this episode, we recap some Fastiverse-adjacent media, open a stuffed mailbag, and watch Johnny Tran get slapped as we spend more than a few minutes br...

We're kicking off Robert De Niro week on #2F2F, and the countdown is on as we're racing across the country by whatever means necessary -- plane, train, car, and more -- to talk about Midnight Run! But first, we run down some corrections and omissions from recent episodes, Joey accidentally reveals an upcoming lap theme, and we tackle the most daunting minute in The Fast and the Furious so far. The...

Great Scott! We're coming out you live from the Twin Pines Mall (or is it the Lone Pine Mall?) to talk about Back to the Future, a Patreon-selected movie from Jake Freer! First, though, we offer a sports documentary recommendation to watch now that The Last Dance has wrapped, take a GIF-filled journey in the mailbag, and gear up to take down Johnny Tran in the Fast and Furious Minute. Then, we've...
