It’s time to split the family up, as the Fate turns Dom against Letty, Roman, Tej, Hobbs, Ramsey and DECKARD SHAW?!? Yup, bad guys is family now. Joining us is film writer Katie Smith-Wong to unpack a film full of submarines, zombie cars and TWO Academy Award winning actresses, yet no Corona in sight.
FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 07 - FURIOUS 7 (WITH IAN LORING)
A mega-sode dealing with the epic events of Dom, Brian, Roman, Tej, Letty, Mia, Ramsey, Mr. nobody and Han’s threat from the Shaw family’s older brother, Jason Statham. Film Basterds podcast host Ian Loring tangents the discussion with pivoting race-start women, was Roman of any use in Fast 5, and we all finally dig deep into the TIMELINE OF THE FRANCHISE properly.
We also tackle the Fast And Furious Supercharged Universal Studios ride/experience, which happens sometime between Furious 6 and… Furious 6?
FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 06 - FURIOUS 6 (WITH JOE CUNNINGHAM)
London Calling for the Family on the exciting crew-versus-crew showdown blockbuster, and we’re joined with Furious 6 ultra-fan Joe Cunningham (Cinematic Universe podcast) to drive the extended runway of plot beats, Rock/Vin feuding, LA-based detours and which characters get less to deal with in the long run. Grab a corona once again and put pedal to the metal for this final Chris Morgan/Justin Lin family action movie.
FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 04 - FAST AND FURIOUS
The family is coming back together with the 4th installment in the Fast Saga, and along with it Vin Diesel’s short film prologue Los Bandoleros is on the viewing order of the week. It’s time to discuss Dominic Toretto’s Will Graham-level crime scene envisioning, casting John Ortiz in a film that’s actively redoing the Miami Vice movie and the podracing vibe from a tunnel-based car chase sequence. Also, welcome to the franchise Gal Gadot!
FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 03 - THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT
Justin Lin and Chris Morgan are joining the family, and it’s an all-Han experience, Sung Kang’s stunning floppy hair, movie star aura and thrilling stunt work. Handling the technology of 2006 that technically is in 2015 when Furious 7 came out becomes quite confusing, but it’s easier than comprehending the career of Lucas Black, definite teenager. Drift through this installment and laugh with your favourite family.

VROOM VROOM! It’s family time, and we’re commencing the saga-pod-special with Rob Cohen’s 2001 Point Break opening film, where Paul Waker and Vin Diesel bro out, drink Corona and have a backyard barbecue like no other. We discuss hair length, the Cars universe, Vin’s second single and possible rumours of the 9th film as we look back at the franchise’s humble beginnings,
FAST FRIDAYS - EPISODE 0.0 - LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN
Almost a year ago we started a journey that did not go far, in fact the only released episode before the collapse of the world was a prologue to inform listeners of the journey. Like some Sisyphian podcasters, we’re pushing the boulder back up the hill this year and intend to cover all 9 Fast & Furious features released, once a week, in the build-up to F9: The Fast Saga, but this time there’s some new twists, and more understanding on the link between Dom’s Coronas and the horrendous nightmare year of pandemic that has taken so much from so many. COMEDY SHOW! Well, strap in, we’re doing this until Universal delay the film again.
