2 Fast 2 Forever: The Fast and Furious Podcast

Will watching The Fate of the Furious ever get any easier? We've got nothing but time to figure that out. All we know for sure is that on this episode, we're joined by Kim Bhasin of Bloomberg (U.S. Luxury reporter and and host of its Invitation Only series on YouTube) to talk about the final (for now) installment in the Fast and Furious franchise. Kim was one of the masterminds behind the incredib...

The 1327 mailbox was bursting at the seams, so we decided to release this BONUS mailbag episode of 2 Fast 2 Forever featuring nothing but listener mail! We've got mail from old listeners, new listeners, and everything in between (is there anything in between?). Join us as we uncover a few fans' rankings, reflect back on past episodes, and look ahead to next week's episode of Fate of the Furious! E...

Grab your box of tissues because it's time to bid farewell to Paul Walker once again. On this episode, the Joes are joined by Austin Wolf-Sothern, host of Cinema Stories on YouTube, to discuss Furious 7 and try to track the ownership of Dom's necklace. Austin shares how much these movies mean to both him and his girlfriend as he regales the Joes of ways he's watched the Fast and Furious movies tha...

Allow us to welcome you to the world's longest runway. If you're seated on the left side of the aircraft, you can look out the window to see our guest, Jordan Polan-Clarke of Wistful Thinking, doing that circus. From the right side of the aircraft, you should be able to see the British version of our family, led by Bobo Dominic Toretto. And if you're lucky enough to be traveling in one of our excl...

To celebrate our second trip down to Brazil, we welcomed in Walt Hickey of Numlock News to chat about his favorite film in the franchise. As a former writer for FiveThirtyEight, Walt dove deep into the four types of Vin Diesel movies as well as the three types of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson movies, so we chat about where these movies fall in these actors' careers, find out who had creative control o...

Fast & Furious is the turning point for the franchise, pivoting from a series of world-hopping stories back to the core characters we fell in love with in the 2001 film. It's less of a reboot than a reset, but what jumped out at us this time around was how small the family here really is, with the film choosing to focus on Brian, Dom, and Mia. Joining us to chat about the fourth installment in the...

One of the defining traits of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is its iconic soundtrack, which is why we wanted to make sure we called upon Chris Podcasts of the Now and Again podcast to help us break it down. But having seen only a few of the movies in this franchise before, the biggest question is: was Chris hooked, was he indifferent, or did he hate his excursion to Tokyo? As we continue t...

We're headed back to Miami... again... for 2 Fast 2 Furious. This time around, we're joined by Brian Rodriguez of High School Slumber Party to talk about his favorite entry into the Fast and Furious franchise. After opening one of the biggest mailbags in recent memory, the Joes talk about what they picked up on this time around, then welcome Brian in to talk about Suki, Tej, Roman, and the rest of...

We're taking a quick detour on 2 Fast 2 Forever to talk about I Am Paul Walker, a new hour-long documentary aired on Paramount Network. While the documentary doesn't go too deep into the life of one of our favorite blue-eyed actors, it shows how much his #family and friends cared about him, as well as how good of a guy he was to those close to him and complete strangers. If nothing else, there's o...

It's time for another lap, so we're grabbing a tuna sandwich at Toretto's Cafe, stocking up on NOS at The Racer's Edge, and getting ready to watch The Fast and The Furious... again! We're off to the races on Lap 2, like we're racing for pinks at Race Wars. This lap is switching up the script a bit as we're changing the structure of the show and building a family (or, if you'd prefer, assembling a...

Lap 1 of 2 Fast 2 Forever is officially in the books, so we're grabbing a tuna sandwich at Torretto's Cafe and tuning up for our second go-round. In this Lap 1 Tune-Up (Recap/Relap), we revisit our ever-changing rankings for the movies, and crack open the mailbag to get some rankings from some friends. But wait, there's more! Got a thought? Want to share a picture of a car so Joey can make Joe gue...

We've finished Lap 1! The Fate of the Furious closes things out not with a bang, but with a whimper. This movie's not all bad, but it's hard not to think that it feels more like fan fiction than the latest installment in the world's biggest action franchise. Got a thought? Want to share a picture of a car so Joey can make Joe guess what it is? Email us at family@cageclub.me.

You've seen the ads. You've heard us talk about it. We had to experience it for ourselves... we went and got Supercharged! In honor of Joe Two's birthday -- as well as our dedication to #family in general -- we headed down to Universal Studios in Orlando to experience the Fast and Furious Supercharged ride alongside Dom, Letty, Tej, Roman, and Hobbs. Shaw can't stop us! Got a thought? Want to shar...

Furious 7 is a tough one. While the series may never be zanier than this, the unexpected loss of Paul Walker while shooting takes precedence over everything else. After crying through the (perfect) ending, Joey and Joe break this movie down and wonder, "What could have been?" Sit back, grab yourself a Corona (or a nice Belgian ale), and grab a box of tissues because Furious 7 is for Paul. Got a th...

Could Fast & Furious 6 be the best movie in the Fast and the Furious franchise? All along, Joey and Joe thought it was either Tokyo Drift or Fast Five, but watching this one again for Lap 1 made them begin to question everything they thought they knew. From the opening credits through the final action scene (with the longest runway in cinematic history), Fast and Furious 6 is a nonstop thrill ride...

Fast Five was Joey's entry point into the series and, quite possibly, the reason that 2 Fast 2 Forever exists. We've fully entered action movie territory with this one, and things couldn't be better, more fun, or more quotable. In this episode, Joey and Joe take an incredibly comprehensive look at what may be the franchise's high water mark as they talk about how Brian is a buster, why Gisele is t...

We've finally made it to Fast & Furious, the one Joe Two has been dreading since the very beginning. Did watching it with fresh eyes -- and the promise of having to watch it forever -- make it any more palatable? In this episode, we once again find ourselves on opposite sides of the law, yet work together to (continually) let you, our faithful listeners, know that we have a new Facebook page. We a...

We've headed all the way to Japan to tackle the next chapter in our 2 Fast 2 Forever journey: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Recorded live (for the first time on this podcast), we cover all of the movie's biggest topics, like how to pronounce Gal Gadot's name (note: she's not in this movie) and why CNN has the best New Year's Eve broadcast on TV. We also talk about the living legend that i...

We've taken a speedboat from California to Miami to bring you the second episode (of infinite episodes) of 2 Fast 2 Forever. It turns out there are WAY LESS BOATS in 2 Fast 2 Furious than Joey remembered, but still plot holes and leaps in logic (and not in the fun way that we're going to get to soon) that he thought he remembered. Regardless, this is the movie that introduces us to Tej and Roman a...

"There’s all kinds of family, Brian; that’s a choice you’re going to have to make." And with that in mind, Brian O'Conner decided to ride or die with the Toretto crew, rather than the cops, and here we are. As we begin our journey into the unending light of forever, we kick off Lap 1 with The Fast and the Furious. We've got nitrous oxide in our blood and gas tanks for brains. Sit back, relax, and...

One Fast & Furious movie, every two weeks, forever. Joey Lewandowski and Joe Two have nitrous oxide in their blood and gas tanks for brains, so grab any brew you want -- as long as it's a Corona -- and hop in the passenger seat. There's all kinds of family; we chose this one.
