What was Jesus up to on Easter? Is Hobbs and Shaw canon? Exactly how big is The Rock’s dick? Tim and Guy may not be able to agree on the answers to these eternal questions, but both can agree that the Fast-and-Furious affiliated Hobbs and Shaw is a pretty solid flick. This Melbourne live show, originally taped while deep in the trenches of Fast 8, finds the boyz pleasantly surprised by the film at...

The end of a season. The end of an era. The first and only watch of The Fast and The Furious somehow marks the end of a year of watching the Fast and Furious franchise for Tim and Guy. In an episode recorded in front of a packed-out audience at the beautiful Hollywood cinema in the Avondale neighborhood of Auckland, the pair celebrate the origins of brand Toretto and the strangely absent origins o...

It's been a while and the boys are brimming with news; Tim is going to be a dad, again! Guy is engaged to be married! It is amazing what you learn when you catch up with Family™. A report from CNN pours further gasoline on the Rock's intentions to run for President, emails, tweets and Instagram messages are checked, but the real pièce de résistance is a Masters Degree graduate who travelled to the...

The beginning of the end is upon us—as the lads reflect on what ten years of repeated exposure to a limited pool of movies has done to their ability to review cinema specifically, and their brains more generally. Also, after a second screening it appears that 2 Fast 2 Furious might not quite be the apex of cinema Tim had previously thought. Paul Walker is called out for a weaker acting performance...

Tim and Guy are joined by Travis and Griffin McElroy to enjoy their first(ish) watch of 2 Fast 2 Furious. There is a heavy divide in the ranks as to whether the movie was actually good or not, but the film’s quality quickly takes a conversational backseat to the real star of the watch: a very unique torture idea that all can agree is well worth discussing. In this outing, we have no Dom Toretto, b...

The way you have been thinking about time and space is limited and wrong. Reject Metric and Imperial and instead adopt the Fast and Furious System, where everything is measured in terms of quarter-miles. And if you’re having trouble figuring out the timeline of the Fast franchise, simply apply Justin Lin’s patented Ca-Lin-Duh system. Getting into the finer details of Tokyo Drift for their final wa...

Tim and Guy, together in room and opinion, have just had a most wonderful time soaking up the sights, sounds and cinematic experience of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. From the phenomenal racing sequences to the performances of Sung Kang (Han) and Brian Tee (DK / Takashi)—everything comes under the microscope for high praise. The same—sadly—cannot be said for Lucas Black's performance as S...

The year is 2006... and also sometime between 2017 and 2021—women are objects, everyone in Japan speaks English and Tim and Guy are over the moon to have watched Tokyo Drift! A straightforward car movie that represents a welcome departure from the self serious experience of Fast Four and (as Guy seems to think) some sort of skeleton key to understanding the entire Fast and the Furious franchise. M...

It's time for a pool party, legitimately. The weather is fine, the sun is radiant and unprotected over the nation of New Zealand. Tim's pool is conspicuously clean and so the boys begin the episode either in, or freshly out of, the pool. Guy, like a little lizard on a rock, pitches a business idea for the gentlemen with little legs and thin calves to help give them a bit more body confidence at th...

Another screening of Fast and Furious (aka Fast Four) and so much more to talk about! How would someone reading a newspaper after his conviction feel about Dom Toretto? In honour of this film's unguarded, unvarnished and dated dedication to Butt Women, the lads then discuss the uncanny valley of butts—including the crazy idea of a butt where the right cheek is next to the left cheek (but the left...

Tim is deep in the weeds of Fast 4 plot details—a quest that Guy takes pride in Tim for being on but has not joined him on in this screening. The fellaz try to figure out where on the offensiveness scale Twit, Twerp, Dweeb, Moron, Idiot and Stupid sit, and then get to the important business of figuring out which five cars from the movie Tim would like to have sex with and how to go about courting...

Fast & Furious, aka Fast Four, is a movie in which we find out Letty has died by, GET THIS, being told out loud rather than shown. In the magnificent visual medium of film (marketed as "movies" because it's moving pictures), these dickheads disrespect the female lead of this franchise so massively, it is genuinely jarring for the fellaz. Brian (Paul Walker) and Dom (Vin mother-f'ing Diesel) ar...

The boys are joined by Alice Snedden to wave goodbye to Fast Five! Guy has Devil Energy and Alice is spoiling for a fight. In a far reaching conversation, Alice shares some honest acting assessments before discussing which family members she'd like to see sucking each other's dicks. Tim is on the back end of a cool, fun weekend and Guy appears hell-bent on antagonizing anyone who even looks at him...

Who would win a fight between Christ the Redeemer and the Statue of Liberty? Should Tim save up a bit of coin and start dressing like Han? Will Guy ever fulfill his dream of being friends with Paul Walker? A workmanlike watch and podcast as the movie once again fails to get its hooks into the boys. Their frustration is not with the franchise, not with the movie, not even with themselves. These are...

Tim has been hiking through Stewart Island with two of his oldest and best friends in preparation for this very screening. Guy has visited Melbourne, enjoyed himself for a few days, and downloaded Fast Five onto his phone—all to ensure he is in an optimal mental state to enjoy the film. The boys take roughly twenty-five minutes to even begin talking about Fast Five. The movie—and this remains a qu...

Guy is still enamoured by the movie, Tim isn't so sure, but one thing both of these boys are doing is getting their gams out for a walk around the neighbourhood. The return of the walking episode! An enjoyable day out for our heroes, but arguably a less concentrated product for our libertarian fan? Topics of discussion range from Tim offering up riddles from the Die Hard movie franchise to Guy opi...

Tim and Guy wax lyrical up top about the Midas touch they have on any media organization they do business with before diving into the meat and potatoes of a brand new movie: Fast 5, aka Fast 5ive. The movie with the biggest F in show business has both of our hosts excited. The location is singular, the stakes are clear, the stunts are tactile. Does Fast Five (5ive) represent an exciting new direct...

Cue up Andrea Bocelli's Time to Say Goodbye, because this eleven-episode dalliance with old friends and enemies is coming to its inevitable conclusion. What better way to see off the gals than with a hallowed friend of the podcast, Alice Snedden!  All of Carrie's friends, new and old (mostly new), pack into her old apartment to remind us who has been introduced to the series and just how insu...

The boys are joined by the fantastic Fern Brady! An And Just Like That tragic whose relationship with the series goes all the way back to the non-canonical (but apparently related) series, Sex and the City. Guy is moved by Aidan's tears, Charlotte stands up for herself and Steve is running a clam and beer shack on Coney Island (from which Guy claims to have bought a beer IRL). Fern and the boys al...

Guy is in bed with the flu, Tim is about to embark on a thirty-hour journey with a two-year-old, but one thing takes precedence over all of that—family. We hear from Kris, a Wisconsinite who has reached out both in the present day and in the past, with a speculative fan theory about Fast X (written before the release of the actual movie). We then hear from Chris Marlton, one of our TWIOAT scholars...

Miranda is worried about her son Brady because he is getting really good at making French fries, and the boys have reason to suspect he is rediscovering his true identity. In fact, his rediscovery of rats may even be the reason behind his romantic tryst with Lily (of Charlotte and Runkle fame), and before the end of the season, we just might see the ascendance of a new Rat Queen. Che Diaz is getti...

A bizarre, tension-free episode for Carrie and Aiden as they movie into Che's apartment after a five day fuck festival at some poor hotel. Speaking of Che, Tim's happy to see them and even dreams of watching a sitcom where Che balances their stand-up aspirations with a burgeoning veterinary career. This leads to a reflection on when—while pursuing a career in the arts—is the right time to turn in...
